Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Dorchester, Boston

Loved our stay. Perfect for our extended family and way more reasonable than Boston hotels during graduation season. Spot on descriptions. Shelby was very responsive. Kind enough to offer access to pantry (e.g. sugar, honey, tea etc) and the garage parking is a HUGE bonus for Southie.

We really enjoyed this place. It gave us plenty of room to spread out. The absolute best part was also the location to the green line. So easy to get to and therefore we could easily get everywhere in the city. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Great place!! So clean and has absolutely everything you could need. The beds were pretty dang comfortable, the bed in the basement is a little firm. The stairs leading upstairs as well as to the basement are narrow so please consider this with luggage. They provide plenty of storage and hangers. We unloaded in the living room and transported to the rooms. The house is very charming and cozy. We had a fantastic visit and we highly recommend staying with Holly. Xoxo until next time!!

This house was as advertised! Jack/Heather were very responsive and generous hosts! If we make it back to Boston we would stay again. Beds were comfy, master shower was amazing after a ton of walking and it was tucked away off the street which made it quiet. We loved it!

We were very comfortable as a 3 generation family. Thoughtful details and clear instructions were very helpful and appreciated.

I don't know who needs to hear this but....I don't even really want to say all this, I want to gate keep it sooo bad...but for the sake of a 5-star review on Airbnb, I'll do it. Scituate is probably the best kept secret I've ever stumbled on. Then there's this gorgeous beach cottage, (also found by shear luck I guess). I'm a sucker for a well designed home as it is, but this one. Oh, is it cute. Super Cozy in all the best ways, decor is to die for, absolutely every little thing you need already waiting for you. Super comfy beds!! Sleeping arrangements are well done and everyone has plenty of space to spread out. The living area is just on the other side of the den, so it's GREAT to split the kids off to their own space. Neighbors are fun and so kind! Walk to the beach!!!! Literally, you can see it from the driveway. Heather, your host, pretty much the best you can get. All her recommendations were legit!! Ok enough, shhhh, don't tell anyone else about this Scituate Gem!

This was my first Air B&B experience. I feel like we were spoiled. Everything was provided & then some. For me it was like going to grandmas as a kid. Open a cabinet & she had it. There was even an assortment of dog bowls. We picked this place with our dogs in mind. You would never know a dog had been here before. It was so clean. The yard & deck were amazing. We used the fire pit several times. We could close access to the yard when we were at the fire pit. The dogs only had access to the area we could keep an eye on them. It’s clear a-lot of love went into this place. It was great & I would go back. I cant say enough good stuff about this place. I do wish there was more to do in the area. My kids didn’t always want to stay at the house. My wife & I were happy to enjoy the house & yard.

We had a great time in Boston and enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants nearby

Amy’s home in Marblehead is just perfect. The location of the home was so lovely, as was the home itself, and the host Amy was wonderful. What a memorable weekend we had. I planned my childhood best friend’s “last toast on the coast” and honestly, it wouldn’t have been as perfect without Amy’s lovely home. You don’t realize how important your air bnb environment is on a trip - but it is so important and sets the tone for the trip. So thank you so much Amy! She is such a kind and helpful host. My family loves to travel to MA coast - I told them all about Amy’s home, and will hope to return in the future!

I loved everything Maxine said and how she helped navigate around every even in the house, everything was so clean, very quite place good for professional working, everything was just beyond, amazing & lovely place you feel right at home with so much space to move around the house. Being free having your privacy. Thank you Maxine 🙏👏🏽

Super fun and eclectic house! What really made the stay were the owners, they are thoughtful and very responsive, they clearly care a lot about their guests!

We had a great time staying in Weymouth, (June 2025). Shortly after our arrival, the host came over to welcome us and show us the place, which is accurate to the listing photos. He gave us some local recommendations. (Take the ferry to Boston!) The house was well stocked with kitchen plates/utensils, blankets/towels, etc. We enjoyed the pool/hot tub, playing pool, board games in the dining room, etc. It was a great place for my family to chill out after the busy days in Boston, Salem, etc. The beds were very comfy memory foam style. Lots of places to relax watching boats on the river and amazing sunsets. My family loved the house and we would stay there again.

My stay was comfortable and met my expectations. I’d come back the next time I’m in the area!

Alex was a great host, just a couple of hiccups in the beginning it was a great space for us. The campground was peaceful and close to my sister's house. There was plenty of restaurants close by for meals. There were puzzles and games to play in the evening, It would have been nice to have a spot for a fire outside. Directions were easy to follow for getting to the campground and for getting into the cabin. If we would need a place to stay again I would consider using it again.

Perfect stay. Ian was super nice: he was very flexible and gave us good advices regarding what to do around. The room is perfect and the pool is a big plus. We enjoyed bbq by this summer night. We had an amazing stay and couldn’t dream of something better ! The area is so nice.

Adam’s place was great for our family of 5. Good location for visiting Boston and Cambridge. The building is new and modern, offers great amenities. The apartment was very spacious and clean. If anything it could use some more kitchen items, like glasses or coffee filters, but there are nearby convenience stores to grav whatever you may need.

We are a group of six traveling for a soccer tournament. We love to bring my husband’s parents and it is always cheaper to stay in an Airbnb … it allows us the option to eat in, run a load of dirty soccer clothes, and relax in a space together…we are pretty low maintenance and just like a clean space together rest… we made a few meals with lots of available dishes and places to sit… we also took advantage of local Irish pub, Mexican, and a sweet coffee shop. Parking was free and available on the street. Quick hop into Boston by car and could have taken the T as well. Easy to get inside and very responsive, but we didn’t really need anything!

This quaint little unit was on a quiet street. Easy access to freeway. Good communication with host Very clean. Great AC via split , beat the recent heat wave. Was suitable for our short stay in Quincy visiting family. My only issue was the bed linens. 100 % Polyester. Cotton &/or blend would be a better choice.

This was a great choice for the number of guests in our party and budget! The space was very clean and very close to public transit. The kitchen is very large and it was nice having two separate bathrooms. My husband and I walked around the neighborhood and even walked over a mile back from a restaurant and felt very safe. Because it is a downstairs apartment, there were times when we could hear the neighbors upstairs. However Helen and Tom were very responsive when I messaged them and offered to reach out to the neighbors on our behalf, which we really appreciated! Overall a great stay and a great value for the price.

This was our second time staying in Quontay’s home, and, like the first time, we loved our stay! Her home is beautiful and clean, with beautiful plants and paintings everywhere. The vibes are immaculate. It was the perfect place to stay for our night out in Canton. We highly recommend!!

Very cute place & great location. Good for a larger group if you just need a place to sleep!

Great location and host

It was our family’s first trip to Boston and we traveled with five people and our goldendoodle. Holly’s place worked out well for us to explore the things we wanted to do in the city. We liked having so much space to spread out! The beds were comfortable and once we learned our way around and used the T we could get to places around the city easily. The parking garage is about a 20 min walk away so that took a bit of planning for us since we drove; however, we were able to get closer street parking for shorter times in the day to load and unload our vehicle. We packed our time full of activities and there was so much to explore! We felt safe walking around here and would certainly recommend it!

I LOVED my stay here! I stayed here for my birthday trip to Boston with two other people. The view was insanely good for the price. We loved how cozy the place was, especially the couches. An uber to the city was around $20. Patricia was so sweet and gave recommendations of things to do in the area. Parking was free which was so helpful. My only complaint is me and my boyfriend stayed in the downstairs bedroom, and noticed there was a door in the room. We opened it and realized it was an unlocked entrance to our room from the downstairs, where other people were staying. The door had a window that wasn’t covered up very well either. We locked the area so no one could get in, but it was a little uncomfortable knowing we could’ve been sleeping and someone could’ve walked up there if we didn’t notice and lock it. Would 100% recommend just make sure those doors are locked!
