Guesthouse vacation rentals in North Shore

This is my 2nd stay here and is always the first place I look into when I visit Somerville or Cambridge. Super close to restaurants, the red line and star market grocery. I definately plan to stay here on future trips to the area.

Delia was amazing! We needed a place to stay with 3 dogs while our house in NH sold and We could close on new house. She was so good to us! Has a beautiful property, We enjoyed the fenced in yard & hot tub

This property offers a beautiful view of Beaver Lake with a waterfront area that includes a firepit with adirondack chairs, hammock, steel pier, canoe, kayak and a paddle board. The house is located across the street from the lake and was very comfortable. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, Wifi, two televisions with premium channels, air conditioning and fans, and a fully stocked eat-in kitchen. We rented the property for a week and the longer we were there the more we enjoyed it.

Wendy and Doug’s upstairs suite of rooms is roomy, very comfortable, quiet and super convenient to downtown Salem without being right in the middle of the crowds. We walked to downtown easily. Wendy was so helpful especially when we had a last mins dress alterations project, offering up her sewing machine so the work was done in time for the evening’s event. Overall a lovely stay.

We had a great stay at Woody’s place. He was a very responsive and helpful host. The area is fabulous - very close to the Orange Line stop and a short walk from great shops and restaurants. A note for families: the downstairs bedroom is well insulated, so if you have a kiddo upstairs, bring a monitor to hear!

The cabin was great, clean, and very enjoyable. I would definitely stay there again.

2nd visit to this wonderful ocean front cottage. Sounds of the waves lulled us to sleep. Perfect place for a respite and recharge. Thanks so much! We will be back…

We had a wonderful stay at Jimmy and Donny’s Airbnb. There were thoughtful touches throughout the guesthouse, the bed was super comfortable and there was so much space. Location is perfect - an easy uber ride into the city/to the airport or a short walk into peaceful Melrose. Jimmy was super responsive to any requests or queries and he made the most amazing muffins daily! We really enjoyed getting to know you and would love to return one day :-) Natalie and Owen x

This is a beautiful, peaceful getaway in Cohasset, and very walkable to town in about 20min. Roger was so responsive and helpful, we had a great time visiting the area.

We adored the Heron's Nest! The pictures cannot capture the charm of this place. It was the perfect size for the two of us and offered everything we needed. All spaces and amenities were not only clean and comfortable, but well thought out. It seemed that every detail for guests' comfort is considered. Mary Ellen and Walter were extremely communicative and welcoming. We loved the backyard view and we would definitely stay at the Heron's Nest again!

This was a great stay for my family vacation. This 3 bedroom home was perfect for a larger family stay right in the middle of Malden, MA. The area was quiet during the evening and there were many restaurants within walking distance of the home. Only a few complaints: Upon entering the foyer there was an overwhelming smell of fish that had been attempted to be covered by lots of air freshener spray. Once you entered the home the smell went away so it caused no issue to the stay. Our most major complaint was the parking. The host was so gracious in allowing us to have our own parking space in the back of the home marked accordingly, however, if you are not good at backing in you may have some issues. The street is lined on both sides with many cars and it is very narrow to begin with. There are some very steep stairs to get into the home and to reach the 3rd floor so be careful if elderly are staying with you. Overall this was a fantastic stay and we would absolutely stay again!

Wonderful stay over Thanksgiving weekend. The space is very easy to keep clean and everything I needed or wanted was already there. Easy walk to the harbor and a Main Street full of restaurants and shops. Thank you Zarla!

Wonderful host, comfortable bedding and cozy quaint house! It snowed and George even plowed the sidewalk, steps and driveway for us. Will definitely be back when we come to visit our son and his family!

Conveniently located spot. James is very communicative and it’s a comfortable stay.

This Maynard stay is incredible, definitely one of the best Air BnB stays I have had. The host had thought of everything that one could possibly need. Stocked with all types of device chargers, breakfast and snack items that were great, hygiene products, nice adult beverages and more. We loved the awesome wood burning stove, and it made our stay so peaceful. The host was clear and concise when it came to check-in / check-out. The one bathroom could be tough, but its very doable. Awesome, clean, and friendly homey place! It was confusing when it came to what was compostable to those who aren’t used to it, but we made do!

The well named enchanted cottage was fabulous. We had a lovely stay, lucky with the weather. Easy reach of Boston on the train. Whole foods just down the road - I cooked in most evenings- as the kitchen had everything we needed. We sat out on the deck chairs and contemplated the Universe over a bottle of wine, watching the birds, squirrels and fall colours. We did a couple of day trips- Concord (loved the antique shops), the Nashoba Winery (get some of the Northern Comfort Apple, Cranberry and Maple Brandy…. Wish I’d bought two, it goes great with Mince Pies). We did the Union Oyster Bar in Boston and Legal Seafood (the oysters were amazing). I would highly recommend The Enchanted Cottage (very comfy beds).

beautiful space. exactly as described and very clean. an excellent host

We had a great stay at Mia's place in Norwood. My husband and 3 kids all felt welcomed, the place was clean and had everything we needed, extra linens, towels, a stocked kitchen and open space to play and be inside during some rainy weather. The location was perfect for us to get into Boston easily or visit friends and family in surrounding neighborhoods. We would definitely recommend Mia's place to anyone looking for a great, spacious and quiet place to stay!

This was a great place to stay. The description was accurate, and the space was clean and quiet.

This is one of the nicest Airbnb apartments we have stayed in. It is perfect for a couple or a couple with a small child. The apartment is filled with sunshine and has a view across to the Prudential and you can even see a bit of ocean. It is breathtaking and unusual to have such a view in Newton. Kitchen was great, space for us to work and hang out. The bed is very comfortable. A great place to stay.
