Mary's By The Sea
This was the perfect spot for my first trip to Rockport! The location was fantastic, and it was well stocked with amenities. Even though we didnât have great weather for our stay, the living room was perfect for getting cozy and watching a movie.

Cheerful 1 bedroom cottage only 50ft from beach #5
Sick a cozy and comfy little place. It was small but in a nice and cozy way. Extra linens and pulled provided and batteries were supplied within minutes of request. The beautiful beach was steps from the front door. Prefect getaway for a couple weekend.

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.

â¨Charming Stay-Downtown DoverđˇFreeWineđˇPortsmouth
My stay here was fantastic! You truly cannot beat this location. It's perfectly situated with easy walking access to local shops, restaurants, and scenic spots. Parking is right outside, so exploring other nearby towns is a breeze, too. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Waterfront Escape! In-town with onsite parking
We absolutely love our stay in Carols Cottage. Itâs so much cuter in person! Cozy and inviting, loved all the windows and opening them up to enjoy the cool sea breeze. Watching the tide coming in and out was a favorite part of relaxing in the private yard overlooking the little harbor. The town of Rockport is like a postcard and the cottage is right in the middle of everything which was really nice.

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
Beautiful location and very responsive host. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

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!

Pond-Front Passive Solar Architectural House
Stayed for a weekend, was absolutely beautiful! The frequent beaver visits was quite the highlight & all amenities were exactly as described!

Maine Oceanfront Cottage- Steps from the Beach
The hosts were fast to respond and provided great recommendations. The cottage is quaint and cute, the location and view were unbeatable. The road is steps from the cottage, so expect to hear some traffic. Iâm a light sleeper so that posed a bit of challenge for me (though not my husband and kids) - however there was a sound machine on sight to save the day (or should I say night). Enjoyed our stay!

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.

Lakefront Home-Stunning Views-Hot Tub, 3100 sqft!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Julie's lakeside home for Fatherâs Day weekend. The setting was serene, with beautiful views of the water, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy quality time together. The home was well-equipped and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a memorable stay. Julie was a fantastic host, ensuring that our experience was seamless and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches throughout the space. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lakeside retreat!"

Waterfront w Kayaks, Pool table, Pergola, Firepit
Great house with beautiful lake view and comfortable set up. Everything was clean and in good shape. Steve was responsive with communication and provided all the info we needed. I would recommend staying here.

Blue Breeze - Private lakefront w/ Hot Tub
We would definitely go back for another stay. Carl is a wonderful host and was very responsive and helpful. The house is beautiful and is located in such a tranquil and scenic location. We are a family of 6 along with our black lab and everyone fit comfortably. I highly recommend this place for a family get away.

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!!

Saco River Farmhouse, Riverfront Getaway in Conway
Steven was quick to respond, the Saco river farm house was very cozy, clean well furnished with little amenities like phone chargers, coffee, fire pit, and even a mosquito zapper! itâs the little things for me! The house is well maintained inside and out, everything worked great from stove to dishwasher, wall outlets and plumbing was smooth, great atmosphere inside and out, beautiful decor super comfortable beds, i highly recommend this house to all who are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle for a weekend, great location plenty to do in the surrounding areas!

Great place to stay in Lincoln. Close to so many hiking trails and restaurants are within walking distance. Also has a nice indoor pool and ho tub, plus an onsite laundry room which was really handy.

Luxury Suite Jacuzzi Pool White Mtns. River Front
The condo was very beautiful and homey. We spent most of our stay indoors because it rained, and we enjoyed every second! Everything was as described and well taken care of.

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!!

The Nest - The Heart of Bearskin Neck
Perfect location, steps from all the shops and restaurants. Beautiful views of the water. Lisa was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Would come back again!
