Perfect location for a visit to my hometown. Walks along the shore, restaurants within walking distance and drinks on the upper deck made for a lovely visit with family.
We had a great stay. The location was perfect in downtown Swampscott. The process was easy. The place isn't fancy, but it had everything we needed for a long weekend. I would stay here again!
Very nice and clean, so close to delicious local restaurants! Family friendly, our kiddos loved the bunk beds, books, games and toys (great break from long car ride), absolutely would recommend! We never even turned on a tv. If you also have a family I would suggest a stop at devereux beach! Great Place!
This was our second time staying at the condo and it was as wonderful as our first time! It is a perfect place for kids/families with all the amenities and location. We highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the area!
One of the cleanest VRBOs I’ve ever stayed in. Convenient walk to the downtown restaurants and shops. Also quick trips to Salem and Marblehead. Drive into Boston about 30-45 minutes depending on time of day and traffic.
thank you the condo was great it was a minute walk to the shops and restaurants right on the water. salem a short car ride away. we took a ride up to rockport along the coast which is a must see. we had a wonderful time. we would definitely return. clean family friendly
Great place! Kitchen was fully stocked, even had plastic wrap and a coffee maker (in addition to the Keurig). Comfortable location, super close to the beach, quiet neighborhood. I felt safe letting two 13 year olds walk around by themselves.
Great location with small town feel and access to Boston
A fantastic vacation with a great location to start and end each day. Exploring Boston was easy and wonderful to return for dinner and drinks in the neighbourhood or at the apartment.

We chose this property in Swampscott, MA in July 2025 because of its location close to the venue for our daughter’s wedding. What a great decision we made! The location was perfect as we could easily walk to restaurants and the beaches. The 3 bedrooms were good sized, the kitchen was fully equipped, the living room had ample room for the 4 of us and the 2 off street parking spots were great. We look forward to returning to this lovely condo.
Place was perfect as we stayed here to visit Salem. The train station was a short 4-5 minute drive and then from there about a 7 minute train ride into Salem everyday super convenient. The place was very clean and kid friendly as well. Definitely recommend this place and communication with the owners was easy and quick to respond. Thanks for the great stay
