Family-friendly holiday rentals in Boston

Kate's house in Gloucester is an ideal place to experience one of the best beaches on the North Shore. Kate's home accommodated the eight of us very comfortably; the proximity to the beach was second to none and Kate and Michelle's response to a couple of minor issues we had was expeditious and friendly. There aren't enough superlatives I could use to recommend Kate's place.

This condo was perfect for what we needed. Just two bedrooms, a kitchen and living room, so we could relax in between walking adventures. I wish I had come across this back in the fall when my daughter was playing soccer for Northeastern because the soccer field is literally across the street. There is a nice walking trail about a quarter of a mile away. We really liked Coolidge Corners. Easy to get Ubers. The place was perfect and comfortable and easy to get in/out.

The apartment was exactly like described in an amazing location. I was attending a conference at the EXPO center, and it was an easy 25 minute walk there and back. Area is safe and clean. The best feature is the is less than a minute walk from a beautiful park and beach. Multiple Restaurants within walking distance and had no trouble getting items delivered. Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much Tanya!

We had a great stay! This house was in a great location, and very nice/spacious. We also appreciated the very thorough and clear communication regarding check-in etc, before the stay. I highly recommend Joel as a host!

Very quiet area. Close to the orange Line and multiple busses. Check In/out was easy. Apt room temp was good. Hot water was extra hot, so also a plus. Cable TV was nice.

Wonderful getaway in the woods, but close to restaurants and shop in Rockport. We loved being greeted by the dogs and the hiking trails right outside the front door are amazing.

Great place. We loved the location and the surroundings. Wally was you receptive and proactive. Everything we needed was available. The instructions and local information was great and even though we had a plan of things to do, it provided us a couple of awesome ideas for our down time. Would definitely stay there again and would recommend. Thanks Wally.

We had a great stay! Quiet, safe neighborhood, easy to get to the city. Lots of space for the six of us to eat and relax together. Beautiful view of the Boston skyline just minutes walk from the place. Comfortable beds and soft sheets too! We also had no troubles parking nearby and leaving our car (for free) for our entire stay.

This is such an amazing place. We arrived very late but the instructions to get in were great and there was stuff in the fridge to keep us going until the morning. Maude had left detailed instructions and tips to work the lights etc. We felt really comfortable and probably the most relaxed on our US trip. It is also a very walkable and safe area. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Had a wonderful stay with my friends in Boston. The rooms and living spaces were very comfortable and clean. Michelle was very reachable and responded quickly. Would recommend this home to anyone.

Our stay in Lionsgate cabin in Cohasset was heavenly abode for a week during our stay in the last week of May. The cabin is located in peaceful surroundings with beautiful bird watching areas. The bird feeder outside our cabin kept me and my toddler daughter occupied throughout our stay here. The lawn areas and seating outside are great areas to take a stroll and listen to nature’s music. The cabin is comfortable and cozy with enough provided even for a long stay. It is located within short travel distance from many good restaurants, grocery shops and metro. Very close to the beach, we visited Nantasket and Hull many times during our stay. We loved our stay here and will stay here again. Highly recommend this cabin.

We had a wonderful stay. The neighborhood was quiet and centrally located with restaurants and shopping within an easy walking distance. Plan to stay again the next time we are in Boston

Cozy spot with scenic views of Silver Lake. Our host Eric was responsive and provided detailed instructions on how to access the space and all of the perks included with the rental. Will definitely rebook if I ever find myself back in the area.

Excellent location! Great stay for a family away from home! House was magnificent and modern. Beautiful upstairs with an open layout and a downstairs living room. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Close to the Newton center to access the (T)rain so Boston is easily accessible. Great communication with Amir! He responded quickly with any questions I had! Would definitely come back for another family vacation!

The Nana-Tucket Inn is an absolutely gorgeous and pristine property with everything a family could need! It was perfect for our family while we were visiting New England. It was a great space for family time and our teenagers had plenty to do. Nancy and Joe are the perfect hosts! They are kind and extremely helpful while they maintain the beautiful property. They are not intrusive at all but are there if you need anything. During our stay, a huge storm blew through Massachusetts with extremely strong winds and tons of rain. Nancy and Joe had the mess made by the storm was cleaned up immediately by a professional crew the next morning so that we did not miss a single moment of the property amenities! Nancy also made us a blueberry crumble cake that was delicious and so kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we cannot wait to return during our next New England trip.

Brad was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful home!

Beautiful setting in the woods, incredibly peaceful- yet minutes away from a lovely New England village with shops and cafes.

The host communicated well and was very thoughtful. The bed wasn't very comfortable and the heating unit was a bit tricky to figure out, but overall, we had a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay! It's very close to Boston, and other area attractions like Salem and beaches, but still peaceful. We enjoyed sitting at the pool. Kathy was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. They provided clear instructions for getting into the space and I had no issues navigating in and out of the neighborhood or to the basement apartment. I would definitely stay again if I'm needing a place in the area!

We needed a nice little place to stay while we visited family and friends. This was perfect. Cute and convenient, plus lots of fun amenities like a clubhouse, ball courts, kayaks and the lake. We went off season, so the pool was closed and it was too cold to boat, but it was still fun. We enjoyed walking the community, playing ping-pong and driving the golf cart.

We had a wonderful stay in Christine’s place in Groton. The apartment is very comfortable, lots of light and beautiful. The kitchen is stocked and the bathroom is great. Cozy little TV den. Upstairs large bedroom was great; and upstairs bedroom for our son was comfy, too. The gardens/lawn were beautiful and the house is walkable to Main St in Groton. Great communication and Christine was very accommodating with checkin and departure time. We would definitely return to her lovely home.
