3 Bedroom Apartment with parking on Bearskin Neck
Xan’s place was such a gem! Beautiful views and beautiful location. Loved waking up and being able to walk to the different coffee places and enjoying a drink on the balcony. The house had everything we needed. Super comfy beds and clean towels/linens. Slept like a baby listening to the ocean every night. This house was perfect location - Close to the beach, the shops and restaurants. Having a parking spot was also a huge bonus! If you come to Rockport, you have to book this spot, even if it is just to see the cool window in the bathroom! ;)

Entire 1st floor apt in charming seaside Beverly
Karen and Brian were wondering hosts. Extremely accommodating and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend their apartment. It was so adorable and clean and had everything we could need and more! We would definitely come back again!

Private apartment 10 min to Salem!
Comfortable, well-appointed, and in a great location. Maria was very nice and easy to work with. Thanks!

My Dream house with views of the marsh and sunset
This is one of the most wonderful set-up airbnbs I've stayed at. Joyce thoughtfully provides all of the key items needed, plus extra fun amenities such as local magazines and well-chosen books for the location. A very clean apartment, with a lovely view of the marsh and walking distance to the beach. Joyce was proactive to check-in with us to make sure we had what we needed.

Unit 2~Garden Getaway Close to Beach & Downtown
This was the perfect place to stay in Ipswich! Clean, beautifully furnished, and easy walking distance to town. Will definitely stay here again!

Modern & Cozy close to Airport/Boston/Salem
We had a good stay overall. There was some noise from other guests on our only night, but the host responded quickly and took care of the issue right away. The space was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Appreciate the great communication.

Beverly Farms Apartment “Homeport”

House rentals with beach access

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.

Aerie, 2 king beds, large space, AC, 2 beaches!
This was the perfect home to host us as we got ready for my sister's wedding in Gloucester. It was close enough to all of the activities we had planned, and large enough to host a large bridal party as we got ready. I loved that Patrick sent clear and informative instructions before our arrival. That made check-in a breeze. The driveway was a bit treacherous, but that's no ones fault! We didn't get to spend much time at the house, since most of our stay was spent running around. It was a beautiful home, in a very quiet neighborhood. Luckily, we didn't need to reach out to Patrick at all during our stay since everything went smoothly, and again he covered everything ahead of time. He provided everything we needed to follow his check-out instructions efficiently. It was a bit expensive for just a couple of nights, but it was a very spacious and accommodating home.

Charming waterfront home. Patio, Shops & Dining
I can’t thank you enough for letting me stay in this beautiful location. I’ve been going through chemo treatment and trying to find beautiful places in between treatment to enjoy. This place was a fav. Which I sort of want to keep to myself. I didn’t have a lot of energy to do a lot but it was exactly what I needed. Parked my car and left it behind. Watched the tide, walked around a beautiful place with my dog. I couldn’t ask for more.

Beach Life Bliss - steps to the beach
An amazing place to stay! So beautiful and peaceful, feels very private. A beach and coffee shop are a short walk away! Love this place and would come again.

Stay at Niles Beach
The house at Niles Beach is very cute, super clean, and in a great location. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. Thank you, Allie, for having the house so clean and well-prepared for us!

Stagehill Beach House
We stayed at Katie’s home over a weekend to celebrate my sisters upcoming marriage. Ever person spent the weekend gushing about how adorable this place was. It was full of charm and we LOVED it. We had a bonfire, walked to the beach, and loved having an outdoor space to hang out. Katie was wonderful and responsive! She was so kind and flexible. This was truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had.

Townhouse #3 in Downtown with Parking
Peter's spot is walking distance to many restaurants and little shops. The pictures are accurate- and the place is just as cute as it looks in the photos ! Very comfortable sleeping arrangements and great shower. Was nice to have the washer and dryer to do a quick load of laundry. I would definitely recommend this spot to others !

Elegant Bayview Victorian Home; walk to beach
The house and property were beautiful. It is right on the ocean and there's a little beach within a 5-minute walk. There are lots of beds/bedrooms and a nice living room to hang out. I am surprised it was one of the cheaper bnbs in the area because it was beautiful. Admittedly, the upstairs can get a bit drafty, but there are electric blankets hiding in the sheets. The listing says that there is no fire alarm, but we burnt some toast one morning and the alarm went off and asked if we needed fire services. Mark also called, I assume he got an alert. So the security system is great as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Beachfront Getaway
This is a way to truly get away. The studio was gorgeous, the bed was incredibly comfortable and having the ocean right outside was amazing. We only booked for a weekend, but I wish we had booked for a week - so amazing!! Everything was perfect!!

Harbor Hideaway
Marblehead was a perfect fit for us. Dog friendly, quaint cafes, shops, and restaurants. Beautiful area full of history and wonderful water views. This old Victorian house was charming, fully stocked with everything you’d have at home, comfortable furniture, and even special treats and drinks to enjoy.

Samuel Tucker House - Downtown Luxury 2 Bed Condo
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.

One bedroom apartment close to Salem and Boston.
Super cozy space, very responsive Host!

Stylish garden level studio with a private patio
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!

Oceanfront Retreat
Diane’s condo was a wonderful choice! Her place is clean and spacious and she left very clear helpful instructions for an easy stay. It comes with everything you need and anything you’d want to do in walking distance, highly recommend this spot!
