FESTC Loved Seaside Escape
Guest: Lora O.
Date of Stay: 08/02/11
Review Submitted: 09/04/11
Our group, the First Ever Summer Travel Club (FESTC), spent only one night at Seaside Escape, and this was our only regret! After our one night, we truly wished that we could have stayed at Seaside Escape for our entire time in Boston. This was not possible, as Seaside Escape was already booked for the rest of our week. It is easy to understand why. Barbara and Ed are warm, friendly, and exhibit genuine hospitality. Their interest and assistance with suggestions for things to do and how to travel into and out of the city were incredibly helpful for our group of 10. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, the close proximity to beaches for early morning sunrise-watching, and the spacious and comfortable accommodations that allowed all of us to spend a fun-filled evening and breakfast time together. Thank you, Barbara and Ed, for having such a positive impact on us and for being an integral part of a most exciting and memorable trip to Boston for our FESTC group!

Everything written in the descriptions and by other guests is correct,. The location is excellent and convenient for everything, the faciities are everything you could want and Ed and Barbara could not have been more helpful from booking to departing. All in all a brilliant place and one we want to return to. Highly recommended.

Scout Trip

What wonderful people. They have a great property. They have thought of everything you could need while in Boston. The unit is very close to everything you want to see. I took my senior scouts and they loved it. Any help we needed was given and any questyions answered. It was a clean, safe, well stocked house that I would visit again & again. We were never disturbed the entire time. It really was a home away from home.

Our family of 4 stayed here while visiting the Boston area. Using this as home base, we took a guided tour of the Freedom Trail, saw a game at Fenway, visited the museum and aquarium, did the Boston Duck Tour, spent some time at the beach, and went on a whale watch. All these activities are easily accessible from the rental and the town of Winthrop is a great place to stay, just a few miles out of the city but a welcome relief at the end of a busy day. The place is attractive, clean, and amazingly well equipped (see the listing for the extensive amenities offered...what is actually available surpasses the listing) and would be especially excellent for large groups or families with small children. The owners were beyond accomodating, providing us with extensive helpful information and discounts and passes to many local attractions before our arrival and during our stay.

We had a wonderful holiday in July. The house is very well situated in a quiet friendly suburb, with shops, bus stop and ferry port in easy walking distance. We did not need to rent a car. Barbara and Ed could not have been more helpful. The house is well maintained and very comfortable. Everything you need has been provided. We would definiately return. Highly recommended.

A great place for families of any age

Review Submitted: 06/23/11
We are a family of four with two adult children who spent a lovely week in Winthrop this June, Barbara and Ed were very helpful when we asked for help and left us alone when we didn't. The house was in a lovely place near shops, places to eat and the beach. It was very easy to get into Boston City centre and other areas by car or public transport. Barbara and Ed provide everything you could want for a home away from home and a pool as well (which we don't have at home).

Our perfect stay in Boston!

Review Submitted: 06/17/11
Just a WONDERFUL experience from start to finish. From my first interaction with Barbara, she was so responsive and helpful, I knew this would be the best choice for us and we were not disappointed! We were traveling on business attending a conference at the World Trade Centre and looking to find an alternative to a hotel but conveniently located close to Boston (it took us about 10 mins in the car). Barbara and Ed have made this place super comfortable with everything you could need for a vacation or a business trip. It was spotlessly clean with high quality linens and the beds were super comfortable. The only thing we regret was due to our tight schedules we were not able to spend more time in the local neighborhood which seemed to have lots of character and history. Barbara and Ed are wonderful people - nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend this to other travelers, in a small or large group. Thanks again Barbara and Ed - we will be back!!

A wonderful find! Rental unit was immaculate, extremely well furnished and maintained and very user friendly. Hosts Barbara and Ed were pleasant and accomodating without interfering. Everything was provided including discount cards, maps and menus. I can't think of any reason why someone going to the Boston area SHOULDN'T rent this unit!

We were fortunate enough to spend 12 nights and days in this unit. We were for want for nothing. This unit has everything you could ever want... Kitchen fully equiped, games... books movies, lots of light in unit, plenty of linens comfortaqble beds, fully array of spieces and a wonderful location to get around Boston and surrounding areas. Barbara and her husband ed... are most accomadating supplying us with all kinds of useful information about attractions in the area... and discount coupons to many of the attractions including groceries at the local Stop an Shop. We've stayed in many rentals over the years... but this unit is hard to beat.... You will not be disappointed and will leave with a smile on your faces and a most happy heart.

The condo was perfect for our group of 9 extended family members - spacious, comfortable, clean and conveniently located. We truly appreciated Barbara and Ed's hospitality - their kindness, generosity and concern for our well being. They went far beyond and above the call of duty in making our vacation as delightful as it was. We would highly highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the Boston area.
