The property was beautiful! Immaculately clean. The host was great to communicate with and left delicious banana bread and beautiful flowers. To date - it’s been the best rental property we have stayed at.

This was an amazing property. I grew up a few streets over, and it was a pleasure to stay here. The host was great with the communication. The views were nice. The property seemed to have every possible convenience available if needed. Everything was very clean. I hope to stay at the property again in the future.

This house was a perfect rental. It was super clean, comfortable beds, and pillows, and the decor and renovations give a historical feel with a modern facelift. The view of the ocean was spectacular, more than we expected, and we would definitely rent this place again.

The house was perfect for us. Walking distance to a beach, close to several great restaurants, 30 minutes from several attractions in Boston. We will definitely be booking this place in the future!

We had a phenomenal stay for our time in Boston. There was tons of space. We frequently cooked in the kitchen. It was very kid friendly with the setup of the downstairs area. The projector, games, and foosball table were both novel for our kids and provided lots of entertainment while cooking dinner or other lulls in our day. The back patio and yard were also away from the street so we didn’t have to worry about traffic.The bedrooms had great views of the ocean and downtown Boston. The location was walkable to restaurants and the beach. It was also close enough to access the Swampscott rail trail. It was a great place and would highly recommend it as a home base for things in and/or around Boston.

This storybook home was even more amazing than the listing showed. We knew the property was three stories but didn't realize there was also a finished basement. Our family members were totally blown away by the property (as well as an early nor'easter!). We were able to appreciate the view of the Boston skyline only on our last day, but the view of the stormy seascape from the first and second floor, as well as from the bed in the third floor primary suite was absolutely fascinating. The property was super clean and fresh. The owners thought of everything we could possibly need, and the beds were so comfortable. We appreciated the heated floors, towel warmers, puzzles and games, the washer and dryer and the views. And now I am compelled to install remote-controlled shades in my own home! We initially thought we might stay in Boston, but the hotel and parking prices were through the roof. The rental on this home was very reasonable, and we had more than enough room for the four of us. We were able to enjoy the quiet quaint town of Swampscott which was only 30 minutes from Logan Airport. I took the train from Swampscott into Boston, and our group was also able to tour Salem, Rockport, Marblehead and Gloucester. A great little side trip to pick apples and feed llamas at Brooksby Farms in Peabody was an unexpected adventure. Mark was amazing and checked in several times to make sure we had everything we needed. This is absolutely a Five-Star Property!

Great Accommodations

Great accommodations, equipped kitchen, ocean view, host response, location, neighborhood. Had family get together to revisit Salem, roomy space for gaming, talking, being a family. Couple office rooms aside from bedrooms/living space. Would stay here again. Reasonable Lyft into Salem.

The house is absolutely beautiful and so much space!! My favorite part was the shower/soaking tub in the master bathroom! There was a slight issue with getting into the house when we checked in because the instructions say the key left for guests is for the back door but it’s actually for the side door of the house but other than that, our stay was smooth and relaxing!

We have since installed a WiFi activated lock pad which gives each guest their own unique code for the duration of the booking. No more keys and lockboxes. :)

New England Vacation

Our family stayed a week at this house while we toured around the New England area. This location was great and within 2 hours driving to 5 states we visited while there. The house is very spacious and comfortable. It had many features that we didn’t even get to use since we were sightseeing so much during the day. It is well stocked with everything we needed and more. If we ever find ourselves back in this area I would love to stay here longer.

Great place to stay

Large, clean, updated 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home. We enjoyed our stay very much.One thing I would have liked with 3 of the bedrooms on the second floor there is only one bathroom to share. Mirrors in the bedrooms would make it easier getting ready if someone is in the bathroom.Also would like TV's in the bedrooms too. Other than that it was great and we worked around the bathroom setup. Thanks Mark for being a fabulous host!

Check in/out so easy, home is absolutely perfect. Great views, loads of space, tons of amenities (games, ocean-view deck, home theater!), and heated floors!!!! And a sweet little treat on arrival , bonus! (Plus wine for purchase available in dining room )!The alter-life I created for myself while having morning coffee (provided) involved hours of "working" from the office but actually being fully immersed in the view.Swampscott is an adorable gem and this is the best place to lean into all the surrounding beauty. Definitely worth a stay in each of the seasons to really take in all the offerings (outdoor activities, Salem, Boston, chill on the deck or in the yard).Whatever brings you calm, I bet you can find it here. Sometimes when I love a place I struggle to share because I want to keep it for myself - this is one of those gems. Solid choice and even my - let's say frugal -spouse said I knocked it out of the park with this one. Thank you for making me look good

Fantastic, Flawless Place!

Amazing, we absolutely fell in love with Mark’s place. The views sell it, and they are indeed beautiful and uninterrupted, BUT the house itself, I felt like I lived there, gorgeously comfortable living room, the kitchen had everything we needed, ( including homemade banana bread on arrival ). The bathrooms are wonderful, extremely well equipped, I loved the huge bath and rainfall shower in the master c bedroom. Huge,comfortable beds, plenty of spare blankets if needed. Towels were also plentiful, toilet paper was abundant so no trips to the shops for refills and there is a great laundry room, fully supplied with washing detergent and softener. Checking in was easy, and also checking out. Mark was in easy contact and I would highly recommend a stay here. We chose this place partly due to proximity to Salem and Logan International airport, as we had travelled from the UK. Swampscott itself is an absolute delight though, and the neighbourhood is charming.

I'm giving this a 10/10. Despite a couple issues, the management of it all was as good as we could ask. The house itself is in a great location, and is clean, has good views, all as advertised. We had the refrigerator/freezer fail right before we got there Saturday night. Mark was incredibly responsive, and the repair people showed up the next morning (but couldnt fix it until we were gone on Tuesday). We used the wine fridge for what we could, and there was a backup freezer/fridge in the basement, which was better than nothing. Wine glasses were missing - they ordered from Amazon for next day delivery. Sheet supply was low, same issue. Location is great - Phillips beach is a very short drive, and we drove but you could walk to the restaurants downtown. All in all, very enjoyable stay for 3 generations of our family. I would go back for sure.

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful house. Views were fantastic and the house was very clean and as advertised. Good location, near a few beaches and close to Marblehead which is a very nice town as well. Mark was very easy to reach and handles all our needs. We look forward to staying again next year!
