Mary's By The Sea
Ideal location walking distance to shops and restaurants. Unit provided everything we needed for our stay very much recommend this apartment to anyone planning to travel to Rockport

Harborside Oasis | Harbor View | Heart of Downtown
5 stars! This stay was everything we hoped for and more. The host was incredibly responsive and made the entire experience smooth and welcoming. The home itself is beautiful, spotless, and perfectly maintained. The view of the Motif #1 was absolutely stunning—such a special treat to wake up to each day. The bed was super comfy too, which made our stay even more relaxing. Highly recommend!

Newly Renovated Ocean View 2 Bdrm Apt
Our first trip to the Boston area couldn’t have been better! This Airbnb was absolutely perfect for our family of four. The bedroom I stayed in had its own balcony with a beautiful ocean view—ideal for peaceful summer mornings or warm, relaxing nights. The open-concept living room and kitchen gave us plenty of space to unwind after a day of exploring. But what really sets this place apart are two unbeatable features: first, you won’t find easier access to public transportation—there’s a bus stop just a 30-second walk away that takes you right into Boston. Second, the hosts, Milan and Anna, were some of the kindest and most helpful we’ve ever met. Their local tips made our stay even better. Great amenities, smartTV, updated shower, dishwasher, laundry, grill available to use, etc. Right next to the house is a beautiful walkway that stretches down the beachfront of Winthrop. We’re already talking about coming back as the Boston area is second to none!

Enjoy Stunning Sunrises&Sunsets Ocean Views 33
This was the perfect place for our family. Comfortable bedrooms and twin beds for the kids. Right across the street from the beach and a playground. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Amazing Ocean View In-Law Apt.
It was even better than we expected. Location was convenient, house was beautiful and exceptionally clean. I'm OCD so this was big for us. She had an informative booklet on the counter when we arrived. She was great with communication. We wouldn't hesitate to go back someday.

Ocean view studio with hot tub & access to Boston
We had a great time in Nahant and will definitely be coming back. B’n’B was very cozy and homey. We loved the porch and being able to use the grill, we used it both nights we stayed. The hot tub was also super easy to use and was perfect after a day of walking around Boston. Elyse also had bikes that we used to go for a trip around the island. It was a wonderful stay!

4 Bed 2.5 Bath Water view Downtown with Parking
I can’t say enough about this beautiful home in Rockport. The view alone was worth every penny, but the comfortable and stylishly furnished space made it the perfect getaway for our family. Andree gave us great recs for dining, activities etc and was available when we had a question about the property. Already looking forward to another family trip to this lovely spot! It’s truly a gem.

Oceanfront Pool. Close to Boston. Free Parking.
This was a perfect location for a long weekend getaway! Proximity to public transportation makes this place an awesome option for Boston travels, the ocean is absolutely gorgeous! I ran the Boston marathon on my visit and the hot tub was incredible for recovery! The bed is so comfortable and even though we didn’t cook anything, we easily could have! Having a washer and dryer in the unit available meant that I don’t have piles of laundry to do when I get home!

2 Bedroom Beach Bungalow, Steps from the Beach!
The location was perfect. We selected the cottage because of the proximity to Hampton State Park Beach which was, as is described in the posting, only a few steps away. The cottage is also quite close to the boardwalk. It would be great for a group that wanted the best of both - quiet neighborhood and accessible to eating and entertainment. The cottage was clean and cozy, just right for our party of four, and had available many little items travers might need or left behind at home. Sharon was helpful and very responsive.

Beach House on a Private Beach!
A family vacation that I will always cherish. I've stayed at a lot of air bnbs and this one was stocked the best of all I've been to with the easiest checkout process I've ever experienced as well. I agree with all other 5 star reviews but would like to add that my kids 9, 7, and 5 especially loved climbing the huge rocks surrounding the harbor. Thank you for hosting us!

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.

WATERFRONT-15 min to BOS/3BdRm/2BA
What a treat to spend a couple of days at this wonderful home. The house itself is very nice, comfortable and well stocked, but walking out to the back deck and seeing the river with all of its wildlife was amazing. So peaceful and quiet, a great place for a morning coffee or afternoon wind down. I will definitely be back, highly recommend!

Quaint Little New Hampshire Lake House Getaway!
My husband and I were getting married and in his mind it is customary to not see the bride until she walks down the aisle! On my mind…I didn’t just want to come home, as we live together, just like any other night. I took my mother with me the night before our wedding and fell in love with this cute, quiet place with a gorgeous view, again nothing too far from our venue. We had worked out a little confusion on communication, we were great and going to have the cutest little house overlooking a pond/lake! My mother loved it and my husband loved it as well. It was very well kept, gorgeous view out the ceiling to floor windows! Private, quaint, easy to get to, quiet….just super cute all around! My husband and I do Airbnb‘s a couple times a year….if we were to look for some place close to home, we would definitely love to stay here again! Everything was great!

Beach access, walking distance to downtown!
We had a wonderful stay at Hampton Beach. The house is right across the street from the beach and has a great view from the top floor. The house is cute and comfy and Larissa was very helpful and responsive in communication. The house is also within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, ice cream places, etc. Just of note, the house is right next to the street and parking lot so it's a great location if you are walking to the beach but not super quiet if you want to sit outside at the house. There is also only one parking space that goes with the house so when it is busy can be difficult to park a second car. That didn't effect our stay, though, and we really enjoyed the house and location.

The Sunset Lighthouse Marblehead
The home is beautiful! The view and neighborhood are amazing! We felt like we were in a movie. It was peaceful and quiet and had things to do to enjoy a nice evening. Definitely will be back!

Little Lake House, the Bungalow
We had a great stay! Beautiful location and very comfortable.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Ocean front penthouse-‘Sunkissed’ 1 bedroom
This is my boyfriend and I second year in a row with Arun. We love the location, just outside of the busyness of the strip. Best location for walking lots of places and easy access to get to town for groceries or restaurants in Hampton area. The condo is clean and bright. We enjoyed cooking in 4 nights out of 7 with all of the amenities available to us to use. Best location for Wednesday night fireworks! Hope to be back again.

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.

2 minutes walk to Beach parking and Wi-Fi
The Condo is perfect place to start from, centrally located and mere minutes walking to whatever your interested it, entertainment, food/drink, and of course the beach! The space itself, clean and functional, lends to a comfy place to unwind after a busy day. Diana is a fantastic host who was always available. She communicated everything we needed and more when necessary.

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.

The Nest - The Heart of Bearskin Neck
A fantastic way to spend a long fall weekend in Massachusetts. The apartment was cozy and convenient, and we loved exploring Rockport. Top tip: eat at Roy Moore’s. A lot.

Beachfront Summer Fun
we had a wonderful time, everything was perfect. Diane's place was clean and we had everything we needed. The view was awesome and walking distance to everything.

Welcome to the Beach Escape! Seabrook, NH
Rose’s condo was a comfortable space and an easy walk to the beach.

Harbor Place - Airy hideaway over Rockport Harbor
I pride myself on finding fantastic accomodations to match fantastic travels, and this was the best lodging location I have ever found. So special to stay right out on the peninsula/wharf amidst the charming, narrow lanes of seasonal gift shops and restaurants, with water all around us. The unit is super clean, nicely decorated, well supplied (including a basket of upscale snacks and handwritten note), and private. A peaceful little nest from which to watch the Atlantic, the beautiful town, and the harbor activities. Really hard to tear yourself away from the amazing views out every window. Water lapping the wharf will send you to a peaceful sleep. Nighttime wanders on the wharf were super quiet, gorgeous, and romantic. Catherine also very kindly offered us to stay past check out time when the opportunity arose, allowing us extra hours of fun! Recommend her suggested walk to The Headlands for photo op of the unit. It's crazy it's practically next to the famous Motif #1!
