We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house with spectacular views. My husband and I and our 3 adult children and their partners were so comfortable. The dining table is huge and all of us could share meals and play games, and the way the bedrooms are laid out provided each family plenty of private space. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious- a lovely space to cook and visit. The open floor plan downstairs facilitates connection and enjoyment. The hosts were wonderful communicators and so welcoming. And, the house is just steps from amazing walking trails at world’s end and a quick drive to nantasket beach. We feel very fortunate to have spent a week in this truly special home. Thank you!!

It was the perfect setting for immediate family to gather for my daughter’s wedding at a nearby venue. The house is perfectly equipped with everything you need to cook for a family or small group., The view out to the water were a special morning greeting, and we loved the long walks at Worlds End, a nearby nature preserve. It was just perfect. The only drawback, and this is not a big deal, is that the four upstairs bedrooms only have one bathroom for everyone. It was ideal in every other way.

Great Family Vacation Home

This house was perfect for our family stay! We had plenty of space for grandparents, couples, and children. The long dining table was great for meals and the kitchen was very well stocked. The location was convenient next to World’s End and a close drive to beaches.

We loved the location of the home in Hingham. The proximity to World’s End was fabulous for daily jogs, walks and even some fishing for our grandsons. The home is large and has a beautiful view. It was perfect for our extended family with a large deck and dining room. It’s close to the ferry for trips to Boston. We will return again for future family visits.

Great Property; Great Location

House is spacious and perfect for a larger family to spread out. Outdoor space is perfect for summer barbecues. Location is excellent for both local activities (beaches, shops restaurants, parks) as well as taking a jaunt into Boston (ferry to Boston is an 8 min drive from house and is a scenic 30 min cruise through the harbor to land downtown). Would stay again.

Excellent 3 night stay for a weekend family retreat.Host was welcoming and responsive. House was larger than it seemed due to beautiful open floorplan on the first floor. More than enough room for our entire party to be comfortable. First floor was perfect for one with limited mobility in our party. Large dining room table allowed us to eat dinner as a family.Nice quiet neighborhood, a very short walk to World's End park with great views of the city. Convenient location with short drive to Hingham Shipyard to take the ferry in to Long Wharf.Overall, a great atmosphere, felt like a home.

Beautiful Home!

We gathered from around the Country and this home exceeded our expectations! Plenty of space to gather together but space to be alone when needed. Everyone was happy with bed comfort and bedding. Plenty of supplies for group meal prep. Nantasket Beach and Hingham ferry both less then 15 mins. away. Worlds End is practically in the backyard. Really enjoyed this property and would book again!

Wonderful house in Hingham

We loved our trip to Massachusetts and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hingham. The house was fantastic and well maintained. The rooms sizes are ample so lots of room for all of us to spread out. The house is on an amazing lot with a great view. It's a very short walk to World's End (nature preserve) and we visited there more than once. It's also easy to get to other locations such as Boston and Plymouth. Communication with the owners and property manager were super easy. My family said this was one of our best vacations. I would definitely stay in this house again. Can't say enough nice things about it!

Glorious week in Hingham

Our family had an amazing stay at Richard’s home. He was extremely easy to work with and had an on-site property manager readily available for any issues. We loved using the kayaks and the beach chairs, toys and umbrellas were plentiful. We walked in World’s End daily and loved watching the sunsets from the back deck. The home was spacious and well equipped and came packed with everything you would need- truly a just-bring-your-toothbrush type of rental! Our kids enjoyed ping pong, air hockey and many of the lawn and board games. We would LOVE to return to this gem! Thank you!

A wonderful place with so much to do

This is a great property that is near the water and World's End. Between the two there were endless opportunities for walking, running, biking, kayaking, swimming, fishing and exploring tidal areas. The house itself is spacious and accommodating. 10 people can dine together inside or out and sleep comfortably. There are plenty of indoor activities as well--the ping pong tournaments were so fun we never even got around to playing air hockey. Walking across the large lawn to sit and view spectacular sunsets over Hingham harbor every night will be one of many lasting memories. The owners are also very friendly and helpful. We hope to stay again in the future.

Hingham holiday

We really enjoyed our stay in Hingham. The location is terrific. Richard is extremely personable and helpful. Most of the house is lovely. Pots, pans, cutlery, glasses, toaster, towels and bedding all provided. Beds comfortable. Unfortunately the basement has some moisture issues so we only used it for the laundry room. Also the air conditioning and window unit in the upstairs king bedroom is iffy making it not so comfortable in summer weather. The garden was very nice for the children to play in while we sat and chatted on the deck. Easy to access Boston by ferry. Walking to The Worlds End was beautiful. We had a lovely trip….

We are sorry about the moisture issue you experienced in the basement. The previous renter switched off the humidifier by mistake. We have added a window unit to cool that 5th bedroom more. Thank you for letting us know. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay overall.

Graduation stay

Came up with our kids and grandkids for our youngest’s graduation. There were 11 of us, we stayed 5 days. House was beautiful. Plenty of space, including two bedrooms for our daughters who have young children. Beds were comfortable - I slept so well. Back deck and yard are fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped. We cook at home a lot (one reason we rent BNBs) and this house had everything we needed. And plenty of dishes. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. Hot tub wasn’t working (the only reason I rated a four on accuracy of listing), but the part had already been ordered, I’m sure it’s been fixed by now.
