Family-friendly holiday rentals in Braintree

Kate's house in Gloucester is an ideal place to experience one of the best beaches on the North Shore. Kate's home accommodated the eight of us very comfortably; the proximity to the beach was second to none and Kate and Michelle's response to a couple of minor issues we had was expeditious and friendly. There aren't enough superlatives I could use to recommend Kate's place.

This condo was perfect for what we needed. Just two bedrooms, a kitchen and living room, so we could relax in between walking adventures. I wish I had come across this back in the fall when my daughter was playing soccer for Northeastern because the soccer field is literally across the street. There is a nice walking trail about a quarter of a mile away. We really liked Coolidge Corners. Easy to get Ubers. The place was perfect and comfortable and easy to get in/out.

The apartment was exactly like described in an amazing location. I was attending a conference at the EXPO center, and it was an easy 25 minute walk there and back. Area is safe and clean. The best feature is the is less than a minute walk from a beautiful park and beach. Multiple Restaurants within walking distance and had no trouble getting items delivered. Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much Tanya!

Beautiful setting with ocean views and pretty landscaping and gardens view out every window. Easily accommodated six people in our party. Home was equipped with everything we needed. Outside seating, hot tub and grill area are lovely. We had a nor’easter arrive so didn’t get to enjoy outside too much but the little that we did was incredible! Gas fireplace in living room kept dampness at bay and was just lovely. Two inside eating areas were perfect! Would come back in a heartbeat!

We had a great stay! This house was in a great location, and very nice/spacious. We also appreciated the very thorough and clear communication regarding check-in etc, before the stay. I highly recommend Joel as a host!

Very quiet area. Close to the orange Line and multiple busses. Check In/out was easy. Apt room temp was good. Hot water was extra hot, so also a plus. Cable TV was nice.

We enjoyed staying at Karen’s! It was a super clean space which we really, really appreciated. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. Super easy to check-in and check-out. Karen is also super responsive and proactive which was great! Only bump in the road was that we unfortunately had to deal with a water leak issue which was stressful but Karen did what she could to be as helpful as possible. It was fixed shortly after reporting. We appreciated that Karen coordinated maintenance so quickly in a way that was accommodating to our schedule. Overall we are very pleased and would definitely recommend!

We had a great stay here! Very flexible check in, the comfiest beds and a variety of incredible books to choose from if you’re staying in!! The host was very sweet and even gave us a recommendation for a great spot to watch the full moon that evening. Gorgeous gardens in the back. Highly recommend this stay!

Wonderful getaway in the woods, but close to restaurants and shop in Rockport. We loved being greeted by the dogs and the hiking trails right outside the front door are amazing.

We were a group of four guys on a sports-trip to Boston. The location was perfect, 30 minute drives from Downtown, Foxborough and Boston College. Lovely neighbourhood, quiet and nice walks nearby. The house was as described in the listing, plenty of space for four, clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen.

This is such an amazing place. We arrived very late but the instructions to get in were great and there was stuff in the fridge to keep us going until the morning. Maude had left detailed instructions and tips to work the lights etc. We felt really comfortable and probably the most relaxed on our US trip. It is also a very walkable and safe area. Don't hesitate to stay here!

Had a wonderful stay with my friends in Boston. The rooms and living spaces were very comfortable and clean. Michelle was very reachable and responded quickly. Would recommend this home to anyone.

We went to Boston to attend a college graduation so we rented this house for the family. We were very happy with the home and the location. The house was stocked with all of the basic necessities. It is newly renovated with a great kitchen and was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was great for walking, with several small grocery stores and restaurants close. Wally was a very proactive and professional host. I highly recommend staying here.

We loved Ellen's place from the minute we walked in. It was warm, welcoming and had everything that we needed for a week's stay. The house/apartment is set on a quiet street set in the woods but a very close drive to Concord where we spend most of our time sightseeing. Helen's is the best restaurant to try in town. Ellen and her husband Kevin were there to welcome us and answered any concerns we had about the place. Her place is very comfortable with a large living room to relax in, a kitchen to cook in and a very comfortable bed to sleep in. I give her place 10 stars and more and I recommend it to anyone who is staying in Concord. Thank you Ellen for the wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing you again

Excellent location! Great stay for a family away from home! House was magnificent and modern. Beautiful upstairs with an open layout and a downstairs living room. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Close to the Newton center to access the (T)rain so Boston is easily accessible. Great communication with Amir! He responded quickly with any questions I had! Would definitely come back for another family vacation!

The Nana-Tucket Inn is an absolutely gorgeous and pristine property with everything a family could need! It was perfect for our family while we were visiting New England. It was a great space for family time and our teenagers had plenty to do. Nancy and Joe are the perfect hosts! They are kind and extremely helpful while they maintain the beautiful property. They are not intrusive at all but are there if you need anything. During our stay, a huge storm blew through Massachusetts with extremely strong winds and tons of rain. Nancy and Joe had the mess made by the storm was cleaned up immediately by a professional crew the next morning so that we did not miss a single moment of the property amenities! Nancy also made us a blueberry crumble cake that was delicious and so kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we cannot wait to return during our next New England trip.

Brad was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful home!

This place was INCREDIBLE!! Marla and her family were so responsive and so welcoming!! This house was the cleanest I have ever stayed in. The furniture was so comfortable and cozy. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here! I hope to come back in the near future!! Thank you Marla and family for being such amazing hosts!!

The host communicated well and was very thoughtful. The bed wasn't very comfortable and the heating unit was a bit tricky to figure out, but overall, we had a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay! It's very close to Boston, and other area attractions like Salem and beaches, but still peaceful. We enjoyed sitting at the pool. Kathy was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. They provided clear instructions for getting into the space and I had no issues navigating in and out of the neighborhood or to the basement apartment. I would definitely stay again if I'm needing a place in the area!

We needed a nice little place to stay while we visited family and friends. This was perfect. Cute and convenient, plus lots of fun amenities like a clubhouse, ball courts, kayaks and the lake. We went off season, so the pool was closed and it was too cold to boat, but it was still fun. We enjoyed walking the community, playing ping-pong and driving the golf cart.

Birgit was one of the best hosts I’ve ever met. Amazingly accommodating, kind and did everything she can to make our stay enjoyable. I can’t say enough great things about her. My family and friends were very impressed with the house.
