Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Essex County

Emenkeng’s place was perfect for me on my trip to the North Shore. Super easy to get to and from the airport and to my friends’ homes. Emenkeng was responsive and helpful when I had questions and the apartment was completely spotless when I arrived. I felt safe the whole time I was there. I would definitely stay here again!

This was our second 3-night visit in two years for the four of us on a retreat, and we'll be back again next year. Lots of space, beautiful appointments, comfortable beds, absolutely completely equipped kitchen. An 18th century gem with a 21st century addition made it a special treat to stay there. Host was instantaneous on the few needs/questions we had. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay. We only wish we would have had more time in the area. Nice quiet’s cozy place. Tv entertainment was awesome, clean kitchen as well. The beds were super comfortable. What stood out the most was the shower pressure, so good! Thanks again.

The Cottage was perfect as a place for us to crash and relax before a crazy weekend wedding in Arlington. The house was decorated with interesting prints and so many books! Though the weather was not ideal, the deck with its views looked amazing. My wife decided that we would try to stay here whenever we come to the Boston area. Minutes from Winchester and the T and the quaint restaurants and coffee shops. We love it.

We took my daughter and her friend for her senior trip and had a wonderful time! The convenience to Salem, Concord and Boston really made our trip spectacular! Thank you for the wonderful stay and checking on us to make sure we had everything we possibly needed!

We were delighted to stay at Vanessa’s home, which is even lovelier than the photos depict. The area and home are beautiful and quiet, with all the amenities we needed. We had the opportunity to meet Vanessa, and she was exceptionally kind. Very highly recommend!

Beautiful home and well located to explore. Rewan is an amazing host! Truly exceptional

We stayed at Kathy’s Place for 9 days during the Christmas holiday and had a wonderful time. We felt right at home, the kitchen was fully equipped and I was able to cook several holiday meals - I was actually so grateful not to have to rush out for anything. I was able to work remotely and the office/desk space was great to have. I would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Comfortable, well-appointed, and in a great location. Maria was very nice and easy to work with. Thanks!

Very clean and comfortable space- had everything we needed. My daughter appreciated the kids puzzles and books! Would definitely recommend if staying in the area.

The reserved parking place at the church really made a difference. It was nice being able to walk to the Beauport Hotel and downtown waterfront Gloucester.

We loved our stay at this charming apartment in Rockport! Carol is a very gracious host and the apartment is wonderful - well designed, thoughtfully appointed, new, tasteful and cozy Carol is generous with amenities and with the quality of everything in the apartment. The location is also great -- tucked away in a perfect spot for shopping, eating and seaside walks around this beautiful historic town.

Only positive comments, everything was perfect. Location was superb as well as living accommodations.

This apartment served for a pleasant stay! I reserved the stay for four adults and it was exactly what we needed. The amenities made it easy to feel at home and the walkable surroundings felt safe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hosts were also nice and responsive which is very reassuring as a guest.

Kelly’s rental was perfect! We were attending a wedding at nearby Grace Episcopal Church and it was in close proximity. It was comfortable and was everything one could ask for! I highly recommend this Airbnb rental.

We LOVED our stay at the Creaky Cauldron! It was everything and more than we hoped it would be, invoking the magic of Harry Potter that my daughters grew up with. Zahra and Hannah have put so much love and attention into every detail. Each day we were discovering new elements to enjoy. The apartment is absolutely unique and delightful in every way. For comfort features - gorgeous shower with the big rain shower head, the softest and coziest sheets for the beds, delicious coffees provided, and games and movies that we enjoyed in the evenings. Very easy walk into the village where all the action in happening in Salem. On a personal note, I felt at home from the moment I stepped in. I love older buildings, antiques, color, and all the fabulous personal touches that Zahra and Hannah have put into their AirBnb. I would stay again in a heartbeat. In fact, I really did not want to leave - ever! Thank you Zahra and Hannah for making my first visit to Salem extra special!

Everything was great , the place is as exactly as described , super clean and organized. plus it's located right in the heart of Salem so it was super easy and quick to get back home from after our walking tour! Tristan was a great host

What more can I say that hasn't already been said by other guests? The place was perfect for our 35th anniversary get-a-way. Darryl was so on top of things. We had a question and it was answered within 2 minutes. He really is a SUPER HOST.

Beautifully appointed flat near downtown Boston and Logan airport! Three comfortable bedrooms and three full bathrooms were appreciated. Great kitchen with nice appliances. Upscale feel. Third floor walk-up, so you need to be comfortable with stairs — but worth the climb! Responsive and friendly host Ana made us feel supported and welcome. Parking was a plus. Recommended!

Had a wonderful one night stay at Bryan’s place while visiting family. Home was extremely clean and quiet and had everything we needed. The provided snack basket/water was a nice touch. Would definitely stay again.

Super cozy space, very responsive Host!

Great location, walked everywhere, did not take the car out once during our stay. Onsite parking which is a big plus for the area. Historic home updated beautifully. Unit was very clean, would give cleanliness ten stars!! Matty responded quickly throughout the rental process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Very nice location. Everything was great!

This AirBnB was perfect for the six of us in town for a wedding. Not only was it clean, but having access to the kitchen and two full bathrooms was incredibly helpful. Interior was beautifully decorated and well maintained without feeling too stuffy or sterile. Very cozy and felt at home while traveling. Even though we had to take a few flights of stairs to access, it didn’t feel like a burden. Host was extremely communicative and helpful the whole weekend. Even though it is a condo, you feel like it is truly a private residence the whole time.
