Beautiful house in a great location. Very close to the T to get into Boston. There are also restaurants around the area. We went to Salem as well and it was an easy trip to and from there. The hosts were very responsive and I would definitely stay again.
Very beautiful large home. Great location and only a 10 minute walk to the T(blue line). We enjoyed the view of the bay and watching the planes arrive and takeoff from airport, unfortunately you can also hear them. I didn't bother us though and we would definitely stay there again.
This is a great place to stay. We enjoyed every bit of it. The house is extremely welcoming. The sunroom is just a great place to relax and talk with your family and watch the airplanes leave and land at the airport. The house is so well built that you do not hear the planes at night. The rooms are spacious and thereâs plenty of DVDs and games and books
We had a great time here. The house was as described. We had everything we needed and the location was great with a short walk to the T and a view of the water. We loved watching the fog roll in and out with our morning coffees. We would gladly come back for another visit here.
We recently stayed at this property for my daughter's college graduation. It was a great space for 8 adults, fabulous location, and great owners! Highly recommend!!
Such a unique, thoughtful home. Lots of space and vintage. Very kind, communicative hosts. Home is old, so a little stuffy but open windows fix that. Great location near the Orient Heights T station (metro), & beautiful view on the water of the airport. Overall, perfect place for a friends weekend.
Loved being on the waterfront and seeing the planes. Loved the sunroom and balcony. Loved being near the Boston T line and only 10 minutes away from Boston.
Our family loved watching planes take off from the airport and the location to the Orient Heights station was great for accessing the city. Nelson and Madeline were great host and very welcoming.
We enjoyed staying at this home for a few days after a family wedding. It was a great location and we walked to restaurants and the beach. We also walked to the train station to go to dinner in Boston. The home was clean and beds were comfortable. Nelson and Madeline were delightful.
The young boys absolutely loved the sun room and watching the planes take off and land. They also loved the beach combing. I loved the full access kitchen. And Nelson and Madeline are the dearest hosts.
Our extended family weekend could not have been more enjoyable. The house is lovely and comfortable, and the location is perfect - near the city but quiet and with the beach very close, ideal for all ages (we ranged from 10 to 61). The hosts were very helpful and friendly.
Very comfortable, conveniently located, and full of history and art.
Boston natives were very hospitable, friendly and fun. We were able to pack a week's worth of activities in the short time we were there. It would have been just as nice to hang out at the house and enjoy the ambiance and views.
The location of the Villa is absolutely stunning. We were staying as a family to support 2 of our sons doing the Boston Marathon. The transport to get around the city was great and we used a Charlie card for the 7 day stay costing just 22. The Villa is a fantastic place to stay and we were greeted by Nelson and his lovely wife and they told us the history of the house and all we needed to know for our stay. If I could rate more than 5 out of 5 - then I certainly would do. It is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed at on several city breaks over the years. Highly recommended and thanks for sharing your beautiful Villa with us. Kindest regards.
The house was absolutely beautiful and the rooms fit our needs for 7 people staying there . Location of the home was perfect for access to the "T" so we didn't have to rent a car. Nelson and his wife were very accommodating and could answer any questions we had. I'd highly recommend their home for a stay in Boston.
Our family was delighted with the charm of this old house. The check in was great as the hosts welcome you and give you tips and information which is helpful. My husband enjoyed viewing the planes across the harbor. We enjoyed our stay in Boston! Thank you Nelson and Madeline!
Flew into Boston for a few days. House is 10 minutes from airport (huge plus!) but not close to subway system so we ended up using a lot of Ubers. Great view of the airport which was more fun than I anticipated. Cool old house with great character.
It was great. Interesting period house. Across an inlet from the airport - kids loved watching the planes. Very convenient to the blue line (free because Sumner Tunnel is closed). We did everything on our list of Boston things to do - and more!
The sheer size and location on Boston Harbor was one of the most attractive features that lured us to purchase the Villa. It's ease to public transportation connecting all the city has to offer without the need of a car, was a real game changer. The view from the sun porch and in the summer months having a glass of wine on the upper balcony is delightful while watching the planes come and go. It is similar to an orchestrated symphony.
