Holiday rentals with a kayak in Boston

Jeff's home had a magnificent view of Plum Island and Plum Island Sound. It was relaxing to watch the changing colors of the water and the fog roll in. The deck and the room with all the windows had lots of comfortable seating. It was a short, easy drive to downtown Ipswich. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Absolutely beautiful view. Peaceful. Comfortable home with everything you need. Ultimately, sitting outside on the beach was the best way to relax and unwind after a busy day with the family. Perfect place. We will definitely go back.

This place was quite a find. Well maintained, modern, beautifully decorated, spacious, and in a great location feet from the beach and ocean. Also easily accessible to downtown Scituate. It was exactly as described. It will definitely be our first option should we return to the area.

My family and I spent a week at Shorley Blessed Beach House, and it was a beautiful stay. Patti and Nick, the hosts, were incredibly helpful and checked in several times to ensure we had everything we needed, making us feel very welcome. The house rules were clear and easy to follow, which made caring for the space simple. We were amazed by how close it was to the ocean—an experience we hadn’t had before. Evenings were chilly, but being right by the water and enjoying beach walks was amazing. The location was ideal, with everything we wanted to explore within an hour’s drive. The kids had a blast, and the house had everything we needed—comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and clear instructions that made our stay smooth and stress-free. Staying in what felt like someone’s home, rather than a typical rental, added a personal charm that showed how much Patti and Nick care about their guests. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend the Shorley Blessed Beach House!

Tommy was great. He was easy to contact and communicated wonderfully. The house was set up for a guest with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The furniture and beds were so comfortable as well as the welcoming feel. Plenty of spacious rooms. Even spaces you could have alone time. When they described the house on the ocean, it really is. This was by far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed at. Hope to rent it again next year. I can’t say enough on how comfortable the house is. This is the first house we’ve recommend for other people to stay at. Peg

The property was stunning and impeccably clean, matching the description perfectly. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the convenient location with a trail to see horses and access to the lake. The host was incredibly accommodating, and we are looking forward to returning with our family. One suggestion for improvement would be to provide garage access to the house for elderly guests who may have difficulty with stairs, as the pathway, although beautiful, was quite lengthy for my elderly parents. Nonetheless, we all had a fantastic time. Thank you.

Beautiful home! My family felt right at home. Kitchen had everything we needed and had toys and games for all ages. Antionette was very responsive to any questions and wrote back right away. Location was ideal. Easy walk to town and nearby lighthouse. Would recommend. Thank you for helping make a memorable vacation for my family.

4.5/5 stars It's a small and cozy place in a beautiful location. The place had a lot of amenities and the staircase upstairs to the bedroom is nice. Only critiques would be that the outer stairs were incredibly icy and had not been salted beforehand. And the house is colder than we expected. Would come here again.

Absolutely beautiful location. Home was very cozy. Love the kitchen! Brian is a great host. Extremely proactive, helpful and gave great recommendations. Neighborhood is quiet and those around are friendly. Definitely recommend staying at this location again. Wish I would have stayed in warmer weather to utilize the property to its full potential.

It was exactly what my family was looking for. It was relaxing and private. It allowed us to not feel cramped like a hotel stay, but allowed us to cook and enjoy the relaxing day. If you have a small kid, the golf cart is a must!

Lovely location and beautifully renovated home. Kitchen well appointed. Beds comfortable. Host very responsive. Would return.

We loved our stay at Stella Serena. It was close enough to the city to see the attractions, and yet allowed us to end our days in a peaceful, quiet town surrounded by beauty. We had a special treat of a full snow day while we were there, allowing us to enjoy a spectacular view.

I had a wonderful stay at Nancy's house. She was helpful, friendly and caring. The whole house was welcoming and she ensured that I was comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend a night or two in this beautiful space!

This house was in a great location. It was very peaceful. The neighbors were friendly. The area was very nice and the people were nice. Would highly recommend.
