Waterfront holiday rentals in Cambridge

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.

Beautiful setting very convenient for a nice getaway on what feels like an island

Susan was an amazing host! Her property was immaculate. She was extremely helpful when we needed a last minute adjustment to accommodate a family member. All around great experience.

It’s a great space! It’s a little old, but it makes up for where it’s located and all its amenities. I stayed for a week and was able to get to Boston with ease. Along with any other adventures I went on, I’d stay there again.

The place was beautiful. The view was amazing. Only downside is we came in during road construction and even with that is wasn't too bad!!

Perfect location! Very homey. As listed. Great communication w host.

We had a great stay! The space was nice, clean, and very quiet. Parking was convenient, and the location was fantastic— since it was just a short drive the Crane Estate (where we attended a wedding). Communication with the host was great—we received quick and helpful responses. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-kept place in a great area!

Valeri's place was very nice. Beautiful view and great location!

Thomas and Jenny’s airbnb was a great and spacious place to decompress after a family event and enjoy the riverview and the birds-including swans and their cygnets! The kitchen has anything you could possibly need for cooking if you were there for a longer stay. The house is awesome-wood floors and high ceilings and plenty of couch space and a dining room. We didn’t use the back deck due to the weather, but it would be a nice place to relax on a sunny day. Also, the king bed was extremely comfortable! The location was convenient for us to walk to visit Moody Street (less than a mile) but the house is tucked in next to an office park so there is not as much of a neighborhood feel in the immediate area-but the river views out back and the comfort of the home more than make up for that! Thomas and Jenny responded right away to our questions. They are strict with how many people can visit during the day (no more than 4) to keep noise down for their neighbors. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location, great owner, and wonderful stay. We loved walking all around the neighborhood. The screened in porch was lovely. Wonderful backyard. Very nice sheets and towels. Excellent wi-fi and TV. We couldn't have been happier here.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for our needs - clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The peaceful lake setting made for a relaxing getaway, and we loved being able to fish right from the property. Traveling with young kids, we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the travel crib and high chair. We cooked most of our meals and found the kitchen and grill had everything we needed. We had a small issue when we arrived, but Roger was incredibly responsive, hospitable, and had it resolved right away. Truly one of the smoothest Airbnb experiences I’ve had. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Great location, spacious open floor plan, and beautiful views

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!

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.

This was a wonderful stay, my family and I felt right at home and at peace on the lake. The variety of rooms allowed us to choose who slept where. The host was very responsive and respectful. I truly enjoyed my stay and the Kayaks were a fun addition! Highly recommend!

Rachel’s place is a one of a kind! I came with a group of 10, which had everything we needed. The place has its own private entrance, beautiful surroundings and views. It was very spacious as all of us slept comfortably. Rachel is a great host, always responsive and understanding. My love for Ipswich grew solely based off this place. Everything was in top shape and perfect, I’d recommend it to everyone!

This was an awesome place for my daughter, her family and I to spend time sightseeing Boston while also letting the kids (and ourselves) relax with some beach time. Access to the Boston sights was easy with our rental car, though I think we could have done it well using the “T” which is a 10 minute walk. The house is giant, and the bedrooms on the upper level allowed the grandpa (me) to go to sleep at a reasonable hour while the kids hung on the lower level. The kitchen has all we needed to cook, though there are restaurants a short walk or a drive. One thing that I loved was that the place was spotless clean and NONE of the little things like loose knobs or broken shades. Oh, and a giant washer/dryer made cleaning up after the beach easy. I consider this the best of the AirBnB homes I’ve visited.

Loved our stay at Diana’s place- we were celebrating my bachelorette party. It was nice to be so close to downtown Salem but also on a private street- it’s walkable or a 5 min or less uber drive away. The place has really cool water views out the windows! We had a small fire alarm issue but Diana was very helpful and responsive. I would recommend trying the sauna it was very relaxing!

Thank you for sharing your home! I found this a very convenient location to the T which brought us right to downtown Boston. I especially appreciated the umbrella that was left for use in the living room as I forgot mine and it was a rainy weekend. This apartment was spotless and I loved the espresso machine!

The place was stunning and close to Boston Commons and all the tourist attractions. Jay was wonderful and came over to greet us and talk about all the amenities and getting around Boston. We loved the place and looking forward to staying again!

Spiro was an awesome host. He met me when I arrived, showed me around, and even offered to help me bring stuff in from my car. His home was so clean. I loved the historic photos on the fridge and he had a ton of great books too! The balcony was probably my favorite part with the view of the water. It was also easy to park my car in the street right in front of the home where I could easily see it. I would definitely stay here again.

The condo is in an historic building and close to all the things Salem has to offer. It wasn’t huge, but the space is so efficient that my family did not feel crowded at all. Neighborhood was quiet - there is a busy street out front but the traffic noise did not bother us at all.

Oceanfront Paradise in Marblehead! This was hands down one of the most magical stays I’ve ever had on Airbnb. The home is perched right on the ocean with absolutely breathtaking views and its own private beach! Waking up to the sound of the waves and sipping coffee while watching the sunrise from the patio felt like a dream. The house itself is spotless, stylish, and filled with coastal charm. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the hosts were incredibly gracious and attentive—clearly putting a lot of thought into every detail. The private beach was a total highlight. We spent hours exploring the tide pools, swimming, and relaxing in the sun without a single worry. It was peaceful, serene, and felt like our own little slice of heaven. The location is also perfect—just a short drive or walk to Marblehead’s shops, restaurants, and historic sights, but tucked away enough to feel completely private and relaxing. I’m already dreaming of coming back.

Just got home from a week in the Sandcastle. It is even better in person. It sits on the rope walk, along the bay. It was fun to walk the dogs, and people watch. The beach is just steps away, and it was fun to pick up shells. Fun for the entire family.
