Great place to stay

We had the best time here. House was excellent and the owner was amazing. She has a lot of stuff there you can do. Kayaks, fishing poles, metal det. And so much more. We had a blast looking for shells and seaglass when the tides were out. Great views as well!! Would definitely stay there again.

Awesome view of Boston

The house is nearly on the water. Only one street separates the house from the bay. Across the bay is an unobstructed view of downtown Boston. We took Ubers into town each day and never waited more than 10 minutes for a pick up. The drive into Boston was rather easy. The house had comfortable furniture and beds. The owner communicated well and even had a warm loaf of bread waiting for us. The bathroom was well-stocked with 2-ply toilet paper! If I make it back to Boston, I will definitely stay here again.

Long weekend getaway

Overall the property was perfect for out needs. Amazing location righr acroas the street from a small beach. Room for our 3 kids. Close to the ferry and Boston. Only cons are in the listing it says toys, video games, childrens kitchen things supplied. They are not. No body wash. And my husband had to run to home depot to fix one of the twin bedframes the first night there and repair the door knob to the master bedroom. O erall great experience. Amazing responsive kind host.

Perfect Location for Exploring the Beach and the City!

We had a fabulous stay here over the week of the Fourth of July! My kids loved visiting the beach right out front every morning and night. At low tide, there is a small strip of beach and the kids found crabs and other ocean life. At high tide, the water comes all the way up to the side of the flood wall. The kids loved kayaking right out front too! The apartment was well stocked and the host was incredibly generous and welcoming, with beach towels and body boards we could take on our beach day to nearby Nantasket Beach. She also dropped off some fun Fourth of July hats and noisemakers, which was so sweet! The apartment is also well situated for a ferry ride or a drive into downtown. We took the ferry from Quincy one day and also drove in to town, which only took about 20 min. Near to the original Dunkin’ Donuts and a great grocery store too. Comfortable beds and everything else that we needed. Would stay again, highly recommend!

Thought I would be able to sit out in the porch and look at the water. That was not the case. The house sits on a fork in the road so it is surrounded my all street and you can hear EVERY SINGLE car that passes by. For a light sleeper like myself the struggle was real.The shower needs a major remodel as you can tell where their is just repair tape and stickers to cover up the breakdown of the tub.After night one I also realized the pillow i slept on had mildew stains. Boston was great but I cant say we'd stay here again.

A friend and I were visiting a relative in Boston but didn't want to stay in the city. This was an excellent location for us since it's only a 20 to 30 minute drive away. The apartment is very eclectic with fun decorative touches and an interesting history. Susan was an excellent host and responded quickly to all our requests for information. The view of Boston across the water is stunning. It's an easy 20-minute walk to a grocery and good restaurant which also offers delivery. The only real negative was traffic noise at night. It didn't interfere with our sleeping; but if you are accustomed to complete quiet, it may. Overall, we would not hesitate to stay here again.

This quaint harbor view cottage reminded me of visiting my grandparents during the summer. This cottage, which in the 1940s was the local general store, has been transformed into a quirky and homey cottage. The floor may not be 100% level, but it is original hardwood and very clean and in good condition. It was furnished with lovely antiques and comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances worked perfectly. There are 2 window air conditioning units in the cottage for your comfort, and table fans if needed. We went in October with perfect weather, so didn’t use either the air conditioners or the heat. The crowning jewel of this place is the view, and the availability of a rocky beach for shell and beach glass hunting right across the street. The host was always available for any concerns, even at midnight when we arrived and had some initial questions. Its location close to the ferry makes it very easy to take a day trip into Boston. I would definitely stay here again.

The compact apartment is about what I expected after checking out the satellite views of the area. Parking and navigation was easy as was access to the bus a block away. Walks along the Quincy Bay view street were pleasant. Our hostess was great with all kinds of helpful advice. Cost was quite reasonable. The only negative was traffic noise our first night [Thursday]. Nits were uneven floors that settled over the decades and a shower that could use updating. I'd go back.

This was a great stay. We travel often and always use VRBO. We loved the quirky floors of the old building. Took me back to my childhood in my grampas farm house. Then when I learned the history of the property, I fell in love. Definitely recommend for families

Why they chose this property

You can't be closer to the water. Walk the kayaks across the road and launch right in front of the house. Fish, or go for a swim.
I say 5 person comfortable limit but I have had families bring a couple of extra kids and throw them on the futon. No problem.

What makes this property unique

You can have a beach vacation and also be able to enjoy the rich culture and history of Boston.
