Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Waltham

We had a lovely long weekend at Natasha's gorgeous home. Spotlessly clean, with modern upgrades and appliances. The layout is a bit unusual as the house has been renovated and split into at least 2 units. Located on main road into Swampscott, with a view of the ocean (across the road) out the front windows--very beautiful even in the middle of winter! We had snow 2 out of 3 nights, and on the first of these there was a gentleman outside shoveling the driveway and back steps around noon. But by our check out time (noon) on Monday, nobody had cleared the snow. Got our car out ok, and we cleared off the back steps so we could bring our luggage out. There was conflicting info between the listing and what we were told by the owner re check-in and check out times--we messaged owner (twice) to clarify check out time and never heard back from her, so called her on check out morning--she apologized and honored the original listing. Info in owner's instruction booklet at house needs updating.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The home felt cozy and welcoming, and its location was perfect for exploring the Boston area. It was spacious and matched the pictures, although some furniture showed slight wear. The kitchen had everything we needed, except for forks. It would have been nice to have a pillowcase for the extra pillow and a vacuum, but these were minor issues. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely love to return. The hosts were exceptional, proactively ensuring we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Had everything you needed to sleep, cook and stay while visiting family.

We loved our stay at Lauren's home. it was beautiful and inviting. It was so well-stocked that I can't even begin to describe it. I think the best way to put it was like staying with a relative! Beautiful wooded views from every window gives an ambiance of tranquility within a suburban setting. Books everywhere! You can never get bored here. I would stay again in a heartbeat!

A wonderful place that felt even larger than in the pictures, surrounded by beautiful scenery, offering complete privacy, and the perfect touch of a delicious hot tub experience under a snowy night.

My family and I needed to find a place to house us all to attend a family wedding and Andrea‘s house was just the spot! Conveniently located to the venue as well as close to town, we found a little oasis tucked away in Cohasset. We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area. The property is beautiful, unique, private, and very large. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Charming and cozy. Beautiful art and it feels like home. Anh is a amazing host, responds quickly and she's an absolute sweetheart. I had such a great time staying here and so did my guests. We didn't want to leave lol. I would definitely stay here again. So if you're ever in Rockport make sure to book this fantastic home. You'll enjoy your stay and you'll enjoy the peaceful town.

Nathan was a great host from the start! He was super communicative whenever I had any questions. The home was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with lots of space and natural light. There’s also a good amount of toys and games to keep the kiddos entertained. The kitchen was very well-equipped. It was amaxing having the giant fridge and freezer. I would love to book this house again in the future.

Excellent place, excellent location, easy check-in and great communication. Loved the house and the space and how easy it was to get around the city. Would love to come back.

This location was a perfect spot to spend the night at. It was close to our venue, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The owner Christin did everything she could to make sure I was satisfied and able to take advantage of everything that the location (and the surrounding area) had to offer. She definitely makes sure that she is offering the best experience she possibly can for guests staying in the space, and I greatly appreciate that extending to not just the duration of the stay but both checking in and checking out. I highly recommend this location and if I’m ever back in the area I’d happily stay here again!

It was a great experience to stay with a family or friends well traveling the area it was great though loved everything about it had a great time there.

Susan’s place was stunning. I grew up close to this area so I knew what to expect, but in all honesty, the back yard was still a bit unreal. You can’t beat open ocean views, a hammock, and sitting area, and a porch/deck with levels leading down to the ocean. The space itself was more than enough room, very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and our young son had the space to enjoy himself. We would definitely book with Susan again!

Such a clean and aesthetically pleasing place to stay. I travelled a few states in the past 2 weeks and that was by far the best sleep I’ve had while travelling. Ryan was very easy to communicate with should there be an inquiry. 10/10 recommend

Beautiful apartment. Perfect for family gathering or a romantic get away. Close to transportation, shopping and dining. Quiet peaceful neighborhood, perfect for a good night's sleep. The value is incredible for this stay. We will absolutely be back to stay here.

2 night stay for business. Lovely apartment that’s exactly as advertised. Hosts are friendly and responsive. Great walkable location.

It is an unbelievably beautiful location and the place is well-kept. This is the perfect spot for anyone looking to be near nature and the Boston area.

Rong was very friendly and helpful and communication with her was very reliable and uncomplicated. We had a good stay and the accommodation is a good base from which to explore Boston.

Mark and his villa were perfect for us during our "displacement" for almost 2 weeks while our floor was redone. He was the perfect host: 1 - being beyond accommoative with our quick displacement 2 - was an excellent communicator and lightning quick responses before/during/after our stay 3 - the villa is in a gorgeous area, with plenty to do nearby and all the amentities you could want: grocery stores, restaurants, and things to see/do super close 4 - there's plenty of room throughout the house for everyone (including our dog!) 5 - the kitchen is well-stocked both with cooking staples and equipment, even had a fresh bag of coffee waiting for us! I can't recommend him and this listing enough, whether you are displaced during reno's like we were or just in the area and looking for a place that can feel like a home away from home. It has everything you could need/want from my perspective, and I am very picky when I am spending an elongated period of time. Thanks Mark, was a pleasure :)

This is my third stay at Anna & Samuel! The house is always very clean, warm and comfortable. The neighbor is quiet and inviting. Anna is always very accommodating, helpful and friendly. She is a sweetheart and takes pleasure and pride in hosting.

Anna is a wonderful host. Place is very clean and exactly as the pictures. I’ll be coming back when I visit Boston area.

Beautiful people who share their beautiful home. Felt very welcomed. Would recommend

Beautiful well appointed home with lots of space for sleeping, bathing, and common spaces for gathering. Beautiful modern kitchen with everything we needed for our seven person group. Comfortable beds and overall surroundings, beautifully decorated in great condition. We stayed in the winter so we did not get use of the pool or hot tub, even though I believe the hot tub was ready to jump right in, but it was 25° out with wind chills in the teens. The master bathroom suite was probably our favorite thing about the home, heated floors and towel bar with a soaker tub and multi outlet shower as well as a heated toilet seat with modern bidet features. Didn’t use the fireplace or the sauna, but the massage chairs were a hit. We will definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at Gary's beautiful home. We were a gathering of extended family, and we were looking mostly for a place where we could all gather together - our group of 16 and 1 to 3 dogs, depending on the day. The great room that included kitchen, dining area, and two sitting areas was spectacular - allowing us to cook together, play games, catch up. Exactly what we were looking for. Kitchen was very spacious with multiple work areas and a massive refrigerator and freezer. There was central living area with two L-shaped couches that allowed all of us to sit together. While table had six dining chairs, between folding chairs (very comfortable), and counter stools that worked well, we managed to get 14 people around the table. The private, wooded views from the living room were also spectacular. Lovely light coming into the house. Bedrooms were simple and plentiful. Gary and his wife were very responsive to the few questions and needs we had. Highly recommend.

Lindsay is a terrific host, she made everything very simple. The house has an excellent location with beautiful views of the ocean. The rental has everything you need to enjoy a fun and peaceful stay at the beach, any time of year. My family loved it and definitely want to come back again!
