You'll find an array of attractions within easy reach of your Chelsea vacation rental. For a compelling trip back in time, be sure to stop by the Governor Bellingham-Cary House Museum. Built in 1659, it's one of the most beautifully preserved and historically significant buildings linked to the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Friendly local experts will be all too happy to give you a guided tour, but opening hours are limited, so be sure to check listings before you visit. Mary O'Malley State Park is a lush, green riverside park with spectacular views of the Boston and Charlestown skylines. From here you can also marvel at the handsome Tobin Bridge, which connects Chelsea to Boston.
Massachusetts boasts a thriving craft beer scene, and Chelsea is home to boutique breweries and tap rooms, where you can sample all manner of lovingly made pale ales, porters, and stouts. If you're after a more virtuous form of self-indulgence, there are also tranquil spas, where you can treat yourself to an invigorating massage, or a traditional Russian steam bath. And no visit to Chelsea is complete without an aquatic adventure or two. Take a leisurely sunset cruise around handsome Boston harbor, race down the Mystic River in your own mini speed boat, or embark on a whale-watching expedition.
Chelsea experiences a wide range of weather conditions over the course of each year. Summer days are long, warm, and sunny, which means that Chelsea vacation rentals are in high demand between June and August. Early fall brings a crispness to the air, but temperatures usually remain pleasant until November. You'll need to wrap up warm if you're visiting in winter, although the temperature tends to hover around freezing, rather than plunge too far beneath it. Snowfall is highly variable from year to year, but certainly a common occurrence between December and February.
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, you'll find an abundance of natural spectacle within easy reach of Chelsea. If you're visiting between March and November, you can hop on a high-speed catamaran bound for Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, where you're very likely to catch a glimpse of several species of whales. If you're visiting in fall, Massachusetts is a prime spot for leaf peeping. Hire a car and take an unforgettable trip through the countryside, marveling at forests full of radiant red and glowing golden trees.
