Vacation rentals with beach access in Essex

Graham's place was very enjoyable to stay at! We were very comfortable and everything was very nice.

This was the perfect spot for my first trip to Rockport! The location was fantastic, and it was well stocked with amenities. Even though we didn’t have great weather for our stay, the living room was perfect for getting cozy and watching a movie.

We had a wonderful four days on Plum Island. It has been a special place for me and my wife throughout our life together and discovering Joyce's rental makes it likely we will return soon again to enjoy all the island and Newburyport continues to offer. She was wonderful as a host and the apartment was exceptional.

The location of Gigi’s place cannot be beat. Centrally located in Rockport, and above/adjacent to great restaurants. Apartment was immaculate and tasteful. Gigi provides very clear instructions and is very responsive. Would definitely stay here again. We flew into Boston and did not rent a car for this stay. The apartment is about a 15 minute walk from the commuter train station, and a minute or two walk from the Dock Square CATA bus stop that can bring you to the train station as well as other places like Halibut Point State Park.

This is a great place close to the airport and Salem! It was a cute and cozy little spot, just right for us. It’s about an hour from the heart of Boston. There’s a fun playground near the beach that our daughter loved playing at. The hosts were super welcoming, kind and responsive!

This was a great place to relax and explore after a busy week of travel. We loved the peaceful setting and the proximity (by car) to both Rockport and Gloucester. Gina's place is clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped and the grill is convenient. We especially enjoyed the deck and the view down to the water. Walking to the beach was easy and we appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Gina was accessible and responsive, as needed. The space was a perfect place to spend the last several days of our vacation, especially since we had decent weather. The ability to enjoy the deck made a big difference to us. Thanks for a great stay, Gina!

Perfect location! Very homey. As listed. Great communication w host.

We’ve always wanted to visit Salem and Deborah’s place was the perfect home-base. It’s unique in the best of ways and has wonderful New England character, charm, and aesthetic, while also being modern and clean. It’s a 10 minute walk to Max’s house from Hocus Pocus, which we wanted to see, and a great waterfront beach park. The beds are super comfy, and the linens are luxurious. The place was spotless and comfortable and we would gladly return for a longer stay.

Had a great stay! House was stocked with all the basics and very spacious for the family! great area easy to get into Salem and surrounding towns.

My friends and I really enjoyed the house. It was VERY clean and it was in a great location. Easy walk to the beach and a couple of fun bar/restaurants. Parking for 5 cars. Only thing for renters to be aware of is the photos make the house appear a lot bigger than it is. The living room is small and the room with the twin beds is very small. However, the deck is large and attractive! Great house for a sunny day!!!

Great location to getaway. Short walk to two different beaches as well as parking pass for great neck beach. Lots of room for two people to spread out. Lots of games to play. Living room was very comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Easy check-in and checkout

I cannot say enough good things about Kat’s place! It was stocked with all the essentials and had such a homey feel. She was always available and quick to respond, and more than accommodating for our stay. This place is a gem!

Maggie is a gem! Not only was her lodging clean, spacious, and in a perfect location for touring Salem, Maggie added personal touches that really made the location stand out. From a guide book that she’s created with recommendations on things to see and places to eat, to cupcakes and goodies for the kids (and us!), it really was a perfect stay for a weekend getaway. If I’m ever up that way again, I would not hesitate to book with her again!

David and Jessica were wonderful hosts and very prompt in responding to any questions we had. My mom and sister and I had a great time and loved all of the recommendations for local restaurants that were within walking distance. The home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable- would absolutely stay again or recommend to others!

Great house, awesome location, everything was perfect and communication was great.

Anh was a wonderful host! Her home was clean and was a lovely walk into town and the beach as well as a great park. We had a little one and it was great that she had some fun books and toys she could use. Anh was very responsive anytime we had a question. Our family enjoyed our experience very much!

We loved our stay! Christina’s condo was comfortable, peaceful and perfectly located. We were walkable to the entire downtown area, museums, the concert venue, walking paths, shopping and restaurants. But the best thing was sitting outside on our private deck overlooking the harbor, with Motif #1 just across the inlet. We almost didn’t want to leave the condo…so gorgeous! And Christina is lovely, making sure we were okay, had everything we needed, so responsive. After the condo coffeemaker stopped working, she kindly offered a gift card to a nearby coffee shop, and before night fell, a new coffeemaker was delivered to the condo! Such a thoughtful host… we will be back!

We spent a few nights and had an amazing time right by the beach very peaceful it was great will definitely stay again

Kristen’s space was clean, comfortable and located perfectly! The generous supply of towels was appreciated as were the great selection of beverages and snacks. Parking was provided in an area where parking space is limited and we enjoyed walking to many lovely parks and shops. A wonderful grocery store is nearby with a marvelous selection of fresh seafood, meats, vegetables and fruits; an exceptional group of oils, spices and gourmet treats are available too! Thanks Kristen for hosting us

Lovely trip back to Marblehead for my granddaughter’s graduation. This home was comfortable and great care taken to provide more than the basics making it welcoming and like home!

Loved coming back here! Great and convenient place to stay.

Perfect location, steps from all the shops and restaurants. Beautiful views of the water. Lisa was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Would come back again!

We had a great stay in Boston. We really appreciated being able to drop our luggage off in locked storage since our flight got in early. There are many great restaurants, coffee shops, and convenience stores just a short walk away. Additionally, it took us about 3 minutes to walk to the closest T station for easy access to the airport and downtown. The Airbnb was very well equipped, spotless, and thoughtfully laid out. Thank you Ali for a fantastic stay!

Diane was amazing to work with and very helpful and responsive! The condo was beautiful, clean, cutely decorated, and had everything we needed for our stay. Great location with so much to do within walking distance. Highly recommend. We are already looking to go back next year for our yearly Hampton Beach getaway.
