Beverly Beach House- Upper Deck
Had a great stay! House was stocked with all the basics and very spacious for the family! great area easy to get into Salem and surrounding towns.

Tulum Theme|Pvt Beach Access|Parking|New Listing
We loved our stay despite it being rainy and cloudy week. The house has all the amenities listed and kitchen was well stacked in terms of utensils. Every room had wardrobe and storage. There was even vacuum to clean, we stayed 4 nights. Mattress was comfy and bed didn’t make any noise. All rooms have proper shades. Host is very responsive. On 1st night, AC was not working but Daryl got it fixed the 1st thing in morning by calling the contractor. Despite AC not working, there was fan which made the temperature really comfy even on 1st night. The apartment was spot cleaned without even a single spot of dust. Last but not least, Daryl is always responsive via messages and made our stay really comforting. We would love to come back here.

Charming waterfront home. Patio, Shops & Dining
I can’t thank you enough for letting me stay in this beautiful location. I’ve been going through chemo treatment and trying to find beautiful places in between treatment to enjoy. This place was a fav. Which I sort of want to keep to myself. I didn’t have a lot of energy to do a lot but it was exactly what I needed. Parked my car and left it behind. Watched the tide, walked around a beautiful place with my dog. I couldn’t ask for more.

Dog Friendly 2BR Home Walk to Beach+Bearskin Neck
This house has everything! Charming location, easy layout, all new appliances, gorgeous linens, and it was spotlessly clean! You can see the ocean from one side! Easy walk to all of the cute things in Rockport. Rachel was a wonderful responsive host, and the neighbors were nice. We loved everything about it! Thanks Rachel!

Rooftop View & King-Size Comfort
Beautiful apartment in the Neck - probably the pettiest place I’ve been to in all of Boston. Highly recommended!

Luxury Sand Castle Beach House Historic SALEM
Gary provided an amazing experience during our stay! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was perfect, close to main attractions, yet peaceful and relaxing. Gary was incredibly thoughtful and responsive, making us feel right at home. Small touches like a welcoming Thanksgiving card and chocolates really stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area. We hope to return soon! Thank you for the exceptional hospitality!

Lakeside apartment, patio, hot tub, outside shower
We had the best time in Arlington this past week! We came for the Boston marathon. The place was beautiful and the location was perfect. It was close to Boston but far enough out for the peace and quiet. Doug and Hope were the most exceptional hosts. They were accommodating and very responsive. They went above and beyond to make our stay and everything we needed as easy as possible. They were so great and we hope to come back in the future!!

Coastal Charm: Spacious 2BR Near Salem & Ocean 21
Great and communicative, professional hosts! There are 5 adults in our family (my husband and I, 2 young adult kids and my dad in his 80's.) The four beds (including a king) were so wonderful. No one had to sleep on the couch! The apartment was clean and cozy and charming. You can take your morning coffee out of the building and head to the ocean/harbor which is literally across the street. So peaceful. We will stay here again if we're in the area.
Beachfront home rentals with a pool

Historical Experience | Boat Tour. Free Breakfast
everything was perfect

Deep Historical Dive | Karting . Free Shuttle
The hotel was clean and conveniently located and well worth the price. The front desk receptionist was very responsive and helpful. The only detail that caught us off guard is that only the primary person on the reservation can check in. Otherwise a great stay.

Oceanfront Pool. Close to Boston. Free Parking.
We loved their place and the location right on the beach and in the sea wall . Got great pics of waves hitting the seawall. Close to alll Boston and Salem locations . Had a great time apt was beautiful and Carol and John left fridge for us fully stocked with milk juice drinks and food . Couldn’t ask for more . We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub Grest place to stay

Family friendly beach house
Had a great 3 week stay here. Weather didn't cooperate but we were cosy at our home base and fit in beach walks whenever the rain did let up. Great WiFi allowed work from home as needed. Spacious pool patio area out back gets full sun all day and was a nice place to relax. 10 minutes from main shopping. 3 minutes from Hampton Beach. Will rent again if have the chance.

Drop anchor at Safe Harbor!
Immaculate cozy unit on charming street. Bedding & shower excellent.

Rooftop Deck, Old Town, Harbor Peeks, Near Shops
my family and I really enjoyed our stay. We had a toddler with us and we will say that the home is pretty family friendly and accommodating for our family. the stair case is pretty tight and the ceilings a low so just be mindful if you're a taller person. Outside of that, the house was beautiful and we will be back. ☺️

Tranquil Ocean View Haven: Perfect Getaway 22
This was a sweet spot to land for a night. Thoughtful touches, comfortable layout, and perfect access to the waterfront. The water pressure in the shower is amazing, too! We enjoyed our brief stay and wished we could have stayed longer.

The Pearl, Apt. #2
Very nice apartment with a wonderful balcony with comfy chairs overlooking the gorgeous bay, with sandy beach and rocky coast. The apartment was clean and comfortable with nice amenities. Great kitchen and bathrooms. Beds are comfortable and extra blankets are in the closet. Plenty of storage for clothing. The upstairs bedroom area was up a ladder which precludes small children. It was okay for our 5 year old but not for the 3 year old. The town is lovely and the center of town just 4 or 5 minutes away on foot. Beach access is just a minute away. Mary was a wonderfiul host and helpful. This is one of the lovliest AirBNBs we've stayed in and highly recommended.

Life of Reilly at Back Beach
Our third time staying here and although the weather was lousy, it was nice to have such a great cottage to hunker down in when needed

Entire Lower Level of House, Across From The Beach
Beautiful apartment with everything you need to feel right at home, especially cooking utensils and teas and coffee. Right next to my favorite beach

Sea View Guest Suite
Bre was great! She was super responsive and was good with tips for places to go to in Salem when we asked. She also provided a manual for the stay that had tons of recommendations of things to do in and around the area. The home was exactly as it looked and was super duper cute, we also loved being able to come back from our time out and have a nice cozy place to stay.

Peaceful Top-floor Condo Near Beach
SOOOO CUTE!! We LOVED this place! It was exactly as pictured and it was incredibly clean! There were two downsides, one was that it was on the third floor, which typically wouldn’t be an issue but I was unfortunately in a boot. Secondly, it’s super close to the airport so if you’re a light sleeper, I’d bring ear plugs. Planes pass overhead every 60-90s. Other than that, it was stocked up, beautiful, clean and most importantly, we felt safe!
