Beachfront holiday rentals in Back Bay, Boston

My family and I loved our stay at Olga’s gorgeous house! We were there for five weeks with our two young sons, and it exceeded all our expectations. Not only is the space large and light-drenched, it’s nicely decorated and equipped with everything you could need. And the neighborhood is wonderful—a quick walk to the water with friendly neighbors. Olga was incredibly kind and helpful—the perfect host. If you’re looking for a large, comfortable space near the beach and not far from Boston, I highly recommend you check out her place!

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.

Was an unusual work/vacation trip for me and it worked out really well. The location was right in the middle of everything we wanted to do so no excessive driving whether we wanted nature or to shop. Would stay again.

I had a very nice time. The place was perfect. Couldn't have asked for anymore.

We had an amazing stay. The home looks as depicted in the photos. Beautiful spaces indoors and out. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The property manager, Jay, lives nearby and came over upon our arrival to show us around the property and make suggestions for things to do in the area.

This house was in the perfect location. Our daughter’s wedding was 10 minutes away in Nahant, the after party was at the Mission Bay and we could walk from the Airbnb. Located across the street from a beautiful beach, great for walking. Great restaurants nearby. The property was very clean and luxurious. Loved the coffee bar, snacks and water provided. We enjoyed sitting on the patio with a cocktail; to enjoy the beautiful view!

This home was very cozy and beautiful! We had a Wedding to attend at the Nantasket Beach Resort and this was only a 5 minute drive. We only stayed one night but would love to bring the whole family back for a beach vacation. Wonderful host, great communication, easy check-in and check-out.

I wanted to take my mom to the Boston area and settled on just south of Boston I was lucky to come across Asha’s Airbnb listing. We had the most wonderful relaxing enjoyable stay far better than any hotel in the area . The house is exactly as stated super well appointed. Asha thought of everything to make guests comfortable and we truly enjoyed three days of beautiful sunny weather… So much so that we did not even set foot in Boston. Asha, thank you for a five star stay and we will definitely be returning maybe even this summer

It was exactly what my family was looking for. It was relaxing and private. It allowed us to not feel cramped like a hotel stay, but allowed us to cook and enjoy the relaxing day. If you have a small kid, the golf cart is a must!

Beautiful location and great house! We had a great time celebrating my 30th birthday with friends. The hot tub/pool is perfect for hanging out after sunset.

We stayed here for weekend in November with multi-generations of family members. Lots of space to spread out - and the middle age group enjoyed the turn-table! Spacious kitchen, comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Thanks!

This house was spectacular. More amenities than I would have ever thought of. Gorgeous interior and exterior. The surrounding neighborhood is in need of regentrification but it’s extremely safe and quiet. Once in the home., it’s an oasis. Probably the best Airbnb I’ve stayed in (sample size about 10) Tony is extremely responsive and helpful. This was the perfect home for my daughter’s bridal party to get ready in and shoot pre wedding photos in. Also amazingly comfortable for my large family to stay in for the long weekend.

The location was great. Room was clean and as described. Breakfast was great as well. Overall a great value stay.

Absolutely incredible stay. The host was very helpful. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the lake is stunning. The basement was so so fun- darts, ping pong, billiards, and more games. We miss the house already!

I recently had a great stay here with family. The view was beautiful, the house was clean and it was everything I hoped it would be. The weather wasn’t so great so we spent more time inside with each other and really enjoyed the comfort of being together with a great view.

As described - great hidden gem in south Boston. Very nice pool and hot tub area for our family. The bakery and place called Crave up the street were great breakfast options!

Very comfortable suite. Close to everything and just as described. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Our stay at Rachel’s place was great! All of the instructions were super helpful and we felt right at home during our stay. The place is gorgeous and provided enough space and privacy for 3 friends sharing a week together. The Airbnb is in a great location - walkable to everything downtown Beverly has to offer, plus there’s easy parking! I’d also highly recommend checking out Rachel’s local guides to Beverly and surrounding towns (Salem, Rockport, etc.) - we referenced them multiple times and loved her recommendations! Thanks Rachel!

My family very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful harbor town home. It was clean, spacious, had beautiful views and all the basic amenities you'd hope to have when you're away from home. Jerry was friendly, helpful, and very responsive when we reached out to him. I would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful apartment with everything you need to feel right at home, especially cooking utensils and teas and coffee. Right next to my favorite beach

Lovely place close by the water with a very nice view of Boston and the sea. Thom was always quick to respond & flexible with check in & check out times. Place was cozy & cute just like the description. Very easy access to public transport, bus stop is literally less than 1 min walk from Airbnb which is very convenient

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.

Robert is an extremely gracious host, and it’s clear that he goes out of his way to make his guests’ stay a comfortable one. Everything was spotless and in great condition. There’s lots of natural light and he had just installed blackout curtains so the sun wouldn’t wake us too early. There’s a pretty little garden area that would have been a nice spot for morning coffee if the weather had cooperated. The bed was brand new with a comfy memory foam mattress. Marblehead is a sweet little town, very walkable with interesting sights, beautiful views of the water, and great cafes and restaurants. Salem is a few minutes down the road for a fun day trip. We had a wonderful weekend away and highly recommend Robert’s place to anyone considering a trip to this area.
