Nana-tucket Inn
We had a great time - beautiful house in a terrific location. Super convenient for Phillips Academy if that's why you're in the area. Nancy was very attentive (and actually lives in an apartment downstairs) so was able to do lots of nice things for us like bake us a coffee cake and make floral centerpieces. Thank you!

Large Pool, Nature Trails, Redd's Pond, 4-Bed
Amy’s home in Marblehead is just perfect. The location of the home was so lovely, as was the home itself, and the host Amy was wonderful. What a memorable weekend we had. I planned my childhood best friend’s “last toast on the coast” and honestly, it wouldn’t have been as perfect without Amy’s lovely home. You don’t realize how important your air bnb environment is on a trip - but it is so important and sets the tone for the trip. So thank you so much Amy! She is such a kind and helpful host. My family loves to travel to MA coast - I told them all about Amy’s home, and will hope to return in the future!

Rockport Pool House|4BR/3BA Walk to Bearskin Neck
Had a great time in Rockport! Walkable down to Bearskin neck and the pool was great!

Boston 15 min away.
This is the third year we were able to rent Ediangela’s house. As always it’s beautiful and clean. The pool is spotless. Plenty of space for big groups and absolutely perfect for families with kids of all ages. There’s so much to do on the property itself. She is so kind and responsive. It’s always been amazing every time we stay. It’s becoming our summer staple to come and stay by the pool for a few days of vacation. 10/10 absolutely worth renting this space. This year we brought two 10 year olds, a 5 year old, and a 2 year old, with 4 adults. They had the best time in the little play houses and pool. The adults had a great time as well. If you’re looking for a low key - big fun spot where you don’t have to run around to entertain, this is perfect! Everything you need or may need is on site or minutes away if you need to shop. Including the actual beach. I sincerely hope we get the chance to make it year 4 next summer!

We had a nice stay. Andre was easy to reach and was very responsive. Pool and amenities were great!

Quiet/Private Neighborhood
This is one of the most well thought out properties we have stayed at. There was everything & more. In fact some of things provided for us we could never have even thought of. Michelle is responsive & accommodated all requests. Definitely spoiled us & raised the bar. Loved it & look forward to being back.

Northridge View
my friend and I from Tennessee were looking for a place to relax for a few days in New England. Ipswich was a delightful location, but we found it hard to leave the lovely view from the upper level of the home!

Charming waterfront home. Patio, AC, Shops, Dining
My husband and I were blown away McKenna’s place — every detail was thought of, it was clean, comfortable and cozy, as well as super convenient to the places we wanted to go in Rockport. McKenna reached out ahead of time and was easy to contact. There is not one thing we’d change. Amazing stay! I know without a doubt we will book 6 Tuna Wharf again in the future.

The Pink Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Mike & Dalia’s cottage. It was very clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed waking up to birds chirping and waves crashing. Our weather was perfect to enjoy the beach only a few minutes away. Mike and Dalia are excellent hosts. They were very responsive to messages, had very clear check in instructions and helpful suggestions for local places. We really appreciated the special touches they provided for our stay, including fresh flowers, and a surprise birthday treat for me! We would love to return to the pink cottage in the future!

Large, Comfortable & Conveniently located Home
We had the most wonderful time at this beautiful home in Danvers! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how thoughtfully appointed and welcoming the space was. The house truly had everything we could possibly need - the kitchen was fully stocked with quality cookware and appliances, the bedrooms were comfortable with fresh linens, and all the little touches throughout made it feel like a home away from home. What struck us most was how incredibly relaxing the atmosphere was. Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the space just had this peaceful, rejuvenating quality that made it hard to leave. The layout was perfect for our group, and every room was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The location worked perfectly for our plans, and we loved having such a comfortable base to return to each day. We were especially thankful for the host's check-in flexibility as we were traveling with elderly parents.

Nothing Fancy Older Pet Friendly Home – near I-95
House was clean, roomy, private and a quiet neighborhood. Grocery store was close by which was very convenient

The Sunset Lighthouse Marblehead
The home is beautiful! The view and neighborhood are amazing! We felt like we were in a movie. It was peaceful and quiet and had things to do to enjoy a nice evening. Definitely will be back!

Sea View Guest Suite
The place was beautiful. You could see every small detail that Brea put into it, made it a pleasure to stay in. She was super friendly and prompt to respond to messages with questions. Place is handicap accessible. It is on the ground level with a small paved walkway to the door; No stairs. Shower was very easy to get in and out of and had a shower seat. Property location was perfect, pretty much 5 minutes from anything you would want to do in the town of Salem. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Will definitely think about staying there again when we come back to the area.

The Chic Shack! Steps 2 Beach & Restaurants.
Loved this peaceful cottage. I had some questions right before checking in and she got back to me immediately. The home was spotless and comfortable in a quiet area.

Capeview Cottage
One of best places we have ever rent. Amazing well equipped with everything we needed. Far exceeded what most places provide. Kevin was a great host from the beginning and the location of the house was beyond charming. Hope we can return someday.

Beach House on a Private Beach!
Oh my goodness. This place was a DREAM. Such a beautiful home with a view you can’t top. My husband and I stayed with our children and two friends for an east coast summer getaway and we could not have found a better place. Awesome setup, view, and Gaby could not have been more helpful. We would love to stay here again.

Oceanfront Home Rockport
Nicole’s oceanfront home was so cozy and the view is stunning. It is right on the beach and there is a nice little boardwalk but it’s not too public. Fully stocked kitchen too, which is great for a big group/family. I stayed in the main bedroom and it had a view of the ocean, the comfiest bed, and romantic novel vibes. The place is like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Would stay again!

Cozy Marblehead getaway by the beach /w EV charger
Our family of 7 came out to visit Salem & Boston and I came across this lovely home in Marblehead. It was about a 10 minute drive to Salem so it was very convenient. The home was very clean, the beds were comfortable and it was nicely spread out so we all felt like we had our own space during our down time. Miriam was a very responsive host and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. We would definitely recommend this home and would stay again!

Incredible Views of Ocean, River, Sunrise & Sunset
From start to finish, Sheila and her place were great. Sheila was a fantastic host, reaching out in advance to make sure we were all set for check in. We encountered some unexpected weather during our trip and Sheila made sure we had what we needed in case the storm got worse. The home itself was clean and comfortable and exactly as described. Being able to sit inside the front room surrounded by windows or on the large deck outside both overlooking the water was a fantastic way to start each morning. The nearby beach, Pavilion Beach, was only a quick, easy walk from the house and was both quiet and beautiful. Sheila provided a list of local restaurants and other places to check out, which was very helpful. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay.

The Pearl: Steps to Beach, Wildlife Refuge
Kareem’s house was just what we needed! It was super clean, comfortable & made you feel right at home. He was so kind to even share directions and walking distances to surrounding popular areas and even gave some recommendations! Whenever I would reach out to him I would get a response in a timely manner! Thank you Kareem for helping us have a wonderful stay!

Entire Lower Level of House, Across From The Beach
Beautiful apartment with everything you need to feel right at home, especially cooking utensils and teas and coffee. Right next to my favorite beach

Luxurious Mansion Home.
Very beautiful house, so much space. Great place for family reunion because of how many bedrooms and available bathrooms! I just loved when I was exploring the house of how many things astonished me with the 2 stairs and so many different rooms. Big yard open concept kitchen and living room , just perfect!
