Cheerful 1 bedroom cottage only 50ft from beach #5
A wonderful host, very communicative and helpful! For a beach cottage it was perfect for me and my spouse. This is a perfect location in Old Orchard Beach; walking distance to Ocean Park and OOB restaurants. And of course having the beach right there! Highly recommend! Thank you, Jason!

Harborside Oasis | Harbor View | Heart of Downtown
The location of Gigiâs 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.

Amazing Ocean View In-Law Apt.
Susanâs apartment is clean and spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. But itâs all about the view! Itâs a rare AirBnB that offers such a spectacular ocean view. And we love the whole Cape Anne region. Thereâs so much to do, but we also enjoyed just relaxing and watching the waves. We had fun playing ping pong! Weâre looking forward to coming back.

Ocean view studio with hot tub & access to Boston
You cannot beat the view! Was a great stay, appreciated how well the host communicated and always appreciate a dog-friendly spot. Loved walking around Nahant.

Oceanfront Pool. Close to Boston. Free Parking.
Both John and Carol were very inviting and friendlyâ- Carol even came out to bid us farewell when we checked out. The view is just breathtakingâŚ. Could not ask for more⌠except warmer weather so we could have enjoyed the pool. :). The apartment had everything we needed and more. The fridge was stocked with breakfast snacks and milk and half and half for morning coffeeâŚ. Very nice touch. Great restaurant choices nearby as well. Highly recommend the Arms Hotel. Great food, HUGE portions. I would definitely stay again!

4 Bed 2.5 Bath Water view Downtown with Parking
Great location for our group. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Cape Arundel Cottage 1 mile to downtown KPT
Adorable, idyllic, comfortable, serene. Couldnât have asked for a better spot for our Maine Minimoon! Some places have 5 stars and arenât really legit â this is not one such place. Hillaryâs place fully deserves âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸. We look forward to staying again soon!!

Lakeside apartment, patio, hot tub, outside shower
Everything was absolutely exceptional! My parents stayed here for two weeks and had a wonderful experience. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive â they replied to our messages and requests immediately, which made everything so easy and stress-free. My parents left extremely happy and are already talking about coming back. Highly recommended!

Luxury on Rye Harbor w/ 360 Degree Views
My husband and I booked this place for a few days to get some time away together. It was perfect! The space is bright and inviting but also cozy and comfortable. We were a little nervous about the emphasis on being quiet but once youâre there, you appreciate the peaceful surroundings. Scott was very quick to respond to messages and was very friendly. We would definitely stay again.

Blue Breeze - Private lakefront w/ Hot Tub
This beautiful lake front home was a great space for our group (8 adults, 1 infant, dog)! Plenty of space for everyone to gather, inside or outside. Lake amenities were such a plus! Carl and other co-hosts were so responsive leading up to our stay and during!

Private Waterfront! Views, Hot Tub, King Bed
Great getaway spot for a spring trip with the family! Enjoyed exploring the pond, relaxing in the hot tub and spending quality time in this beautiful home.

Luxury Lakefront Paradise w/ Private Beach
My family and I had a serene experience staying here. Although the weather was mostly rainy or cloudy, we loved the lake location and maximized the indoor, outdoor, and nearby activity options. The hosts were so responsive, regardless of the question, and made this a truly delightful visit. This was my parentsâ first Airbnb experience and it set the bar higher than I could have imagined! My family and I are already talking about coming back!!

Little Lake House, the Bungalow
Shawn was very kind to allow us checking in a little earlier. The house was clean and had great lake view. Beautiful location
Waterfront condo accommodation

Luxury Beach Front Condo! Prime Location!
This was a perfect location for enjoying being in the heart of Old Orchard Beach. You get live music down stairs, a few steps away from the beach, quick walk to downtown/pier. Totally worth it! The condo is beautiful and comfortable.

Great stay

On the Lake! King Studio Private Porch Lakeview
It was a wonderful stay very peaceful and relaxing loved every minute of the stay would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!!

Bearskin Neck Rockport â Amazing Views â Parking
We loved our stay! Christinaâs 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 didnât want to leave the condoâŚso 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!

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!!

Summer bliss in our oceanfront 2BR condo awaits!
Excellent condo, clean and felt like we were at home. I would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommended. Thank you Jose.

Sunrise In Bed~Couples Retreat
This place was amazing with a beautiful view of the ocean. Very quiet and away from the boardwalk. I would stay again next time with some better weather⌠overall it was very peaceful enjoying the ocean waves.

Oceanfront condo, spectacular views
Weâve stayed here 3x so far and will always come back. This place is such a unique stay with live music right below. You can open the balcony doors and see and hear the ocean. The home is always clean and feels very homey. We truly love it here and will always choose to stay at this airbnb.
