Frank went above and beyond to communicate check-in instructions, rules of the Air BnB, had all the thoughtful amenities for a slumbo! Definitely an ideal location for nicer weather with the location! Unfortunately the weather hindered the ability to fully enjoy this experience with the water so close! Would book again with better weather!!!

A child walks along a sandy beach, with waves gently lapping at the shore. The sky above features delicate wispy clouds against a bright blue backdrop. In the distance, beachgoers enjoy the water, and charming coastal houses line the beach.

Anchors Away Inn Cozy Walk to Beach, Courtyard

Alcor DrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago

A nice little apartment close to the beach! I liked the fire pit and the grill especially. The beds were very soft and had a lot of warm blankets. The TV has a lot of wifi capability. The kitchen comes fully stocked with dishes and cookware. The neighborhood is calm and the sea breeze is nice, even if it's chilly out. Fencing around the property gives a lot of privacy in the back yard, and there are chairs out there if the weather permits chilling outside.

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I had a short window to find temporary housing for moving to Boston and Ryan was quick to respond and very helpful. The Airbnb has a beautiful view and is located near some extremely good restaurants, the kitchen is great and was stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils needed to cook any meal needed. I would highly recommend staying here.

Nxt to ocean, 5 min dntwn by T

AndreaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This place was a great place to stay for our week visit in Boston. The apartment is very conveniently located to the subway, so getting around was very easy, and it was close to the airport as well. It was also very clean and fit the four of us very comfortably. The walls are thin so it’s a little loud with street noise in the front bedroom, but nothing some ear plugs didn’t fix. The TV didn’t really work, but as we were there to explore it didn’t really matter.

The Curie-Perfect for Monthly Stays

XuemeiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This apartment is a great find! The location is perfect, not far from Boston, near every colleges for those who come visiting! This apartment building is indeed very new, built in 2021; but also blended in with history, the leasing office/lobby was converted from an old day chapel, pristine, elegant. Very unique Airbnb experience indeed. The small town is full of vibe with various kinds of cuisines, very good for families, young or old. Melissa, the host is super, giving us very detailed information and instructions from parking to checking in, every tiny details she thoughtfully considered. We couldn’t be happier to stay in this apartment. Highly recommended!

JohnRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Excellent experience. Easy check in and the place was perfect, she even had some snacks waiting for us upon arrival. Easy walk to the ferry into Boston, and easy parking. It was winter, but there were plenty of outdoor activities so we'd love to come back during the summer. Older house but so charming and great location. Overall great communication before, during, and after; she even offered to ship a shoe my niece left behind to us. Would love to come back and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great place in Hull.

I can’t rave enough about how wonderful our stay was. Casie was absolutely great. She made sure our stay was perfect from the beginning to the end. The location is amazing. There are restaurants and the beach that are walking distance. Winthrop is a true gem! We are looking forward to coming back and staying here again!

GerRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Great spot for marathon weekend. Lovely quiet area with lots of food options. Apartment was ideal for me and only 15min stroll to bag drop on marathon morning. Santo was great, really responsive and helpful. In Boston terms the apartment was good value, just accommodation in Boston generally is really expensive. I hope I can visit again, Boston is a fantastic city and south end is beautiful

Ended up with this host for a last minute booking after another Airbnb host told us last minute there was no heat (in Mass in December?!). Very responsive and professional, this team has very nice locations and fabulous communication all the way through our stay. Would definitely book with them again!

The Enchanted Red Doors

AshleyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We enjoyed a week here. It isn’t super close to Boston but it is a fantastic place to be able to stretch out after a long day in the city. An Uber or Lyft is always close and getting into town takes about 25 to 30 minutes. We figured out the public transportation on day one and used it everyday to get where we were going. Narissa was quick to answer any questions I had and everything we needed was there.

Had a great stay at this place (this was our second time there). Our plane to the area was much delayed but our hosts were understanding and very helpful. Everything was as advertised and the place was convenient to our activities visiting family. Will definitely stay there again!
