Mary's By The Sea
This is the dream location — minutes walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. They have everything you need. We had our 4 month old with us and were totally comfortable.

Newly Renovated Ocean View 2 Bdrm Apt
Beautiful accommodations and views. Easy access to the city. The host was very responsive. The extra coffee was also a plus 😁 Would definitely stay again!

Waves in the Cove - includes offstreet parking
Four adults enjoyed the accommodations including ease to check in, communications with Mark and Alexandra, cleanliness of the home, location right on the water with beautiful sunrises, and wonderful walking location to all the Salem attractions. Mark and Alexandra were accommodating to my inquiry for early check-in which was very appreciated. Beds were comfortable. Shower was good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Overall, a great weekend experience at Mark and Alexandra’s home.

-> Front Deck Faces the Ocean! Ocean Breeze
Great place to stay if you want to explore Boston & Salem! Very walkable location.

Old Harbor
We stayed at Sarah's lovely place for three days in April. We had a great time! The location is perfect, very near shops and restaurants, and also walking distance to the performance center. We didn't get to enjoy the deck because of the weather, unfortunately. Parking is a tight squeeze, but we managed without problems. The downstairs bedroom and half bathroom are small, but they work fine. The view is amazing, and we definitely recommend it!

4 Bed 2.5 Bath Water view Downtown with Parking
Our family had a wonderful stay at Andree's place! The apartment has an amazing view and is beautifully styled and comfortable. Andree is an incredibly responsive host and provided great local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

2 Bedroom Beach Bungalow, Steps from the Beach!
Loved our stay here ! Very comfy and very convenient to everything. I will definitely come back !

Views over Lobster Cove! Book spring weekends
Property was just as pictured, which I find extremely important. This spot is off the beaten path and quiet with a nice little walking bridge for a stroll. Close enough by car, to all the attractions of Glouchester when your ready to get out and about.

Ocean Views at Casa de Mar near Salem & Boston
Perfect place for our group of 6 to stay whiling visiting family. Walkable to many local attractions and having a parking space was luxury after driving to many of the surrounding towns. Kitchen was stocked with perfect amenities (my kids loved the snack selection and I was thankful for the coffee bar). Would definitely stay again if we return to Swampscott.

Entire Historic Home Overlooking Maritime Park
I can't say enough about this historical home, location & Julie. We absolutely loved our Thanksgiving & Birthday stay. The house was so charming and had everything we could possibly need. Julie was so nice and helpful through the whole process. Her instructions were very clear in message and inside the home. For us, the two kitties were a bonus. They were super friendly and nice to have around. We cannot thank our hosts enough for sharing their beautiful home with us. We will definitely be back!

Stay at Rocky Neck
A Peaceful Getaway at Rocky Neck Allie’s place was exactly what we needed. A peaceful, cozy retreat that gave us the space to truly reconnect. Tucked away in a beautiful spot, it felt like a hidden gem. Everything was warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully set up. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down and find stillness.

Little Lake House, the Bungalow
We had a great stay and with the rain the cabin was a cozy environment with plenty to do to occupy our time. Also it was close to some great restaurants and a winery with mini golf for the kids and adults only a 15 minute drive. Great location
Wonderful Rocky Neck home on Gloucester harbor
This house has an exquisite view and setting - so picturesque, one of us who’s an amateur watercolor painter sat in the sunroom one day and painted the harbor channel scene right out the large bay windows! Ray was a helpful, responsive host and the house was clean and well-appointed. A beautiful, quiet, relaxing stay!

Ipswich Riverfront Lodge|Sleeps 10|Kayak+Canoe
Rachel’s place is a one of a kind! I came with a group of 10, which had everything we needed. The place has its own private entrance, beautiful surroundings and views. It was very spacious as all of us slept comfortably. Rachel is a great host, always responsive and understanding. My love for Ipswich grew solely based off this place. Everything was in top shape and perfect, I’d recommend it to everyone!
Waterfront condo rentals

Beachfront | Panoramic Views | "Oceanfront Oasis"
Had a wonderful stay. Great location right on the beach. Condo was very nice and well equipped.. Sean was a great host. Would definitely stay there again.

Bearskin Neck Rockport ★ Amazing Views ★ Parking
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!

2 minutes walk to Beach parking and Wi-Fi
We spent a few nights and had an amazing time right by the beach very peaceful it was great will definitely stay again

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!

Oceanfront, private balcony, panoramic view Ocean
The place was described and looked like the pictures. Nice location place was spotless,Even in the hallways and lobbies.Husband loved the snacks.(he’s a junk food junkie.) Nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We have been going to Hampton for a quick 3-4 day getaways for 35 + years and I would highly recommend this place.
