Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in North Shore

Our daughter and our adorable grandkids live in Belmont. We usually stay with them but they had a basement flood and the room we usually use was being repaired. So we looked for someplace close and found Robin’s delightful apartment. Though we chose it for proximity, we couldn’t have been more pleased. It is lovely, quiet, comfortable and trulyfeels like a home, not a rental. We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years, but never before have we found a pantry and refrigerator so well stocked! Robin has obviously put a lot of time, thought and heart into making the apartment a warm and welcoming place to stay. Thank you again, Robin and Jon, for sharing your special home with us.

Excellent airbnb, in a really cool neighborhood in Arlington. Thomas is a great host, check-in was easy, and everything went smoothly. Thomas even provides breakfast in the morning, which was an unexpected bonus. Its also only a short walk to many cafes and restaurants in Arlington, as well as bus stops where you can take a bus to the red line stations. I had an enjoyable stay at Thomas's house, and would highly recommend his place to others!

I really enjoyed Rajib's place. Just to get it out of the way, the shower in the bathroom is the nicest once I've ever used - skylights with houseplants around - honestly forgot where I was for a few minutes, because it really feels like you're at a resort. Rajib's house is a cosy Victorian on the corner of two cross-streets, has lots of trees and greenery around, is in a nice-quiet neighborhood, and is accessible to the city via the T (shoutout Green Line Extension). It felt like home. There was just the right amount of communication (some hosts inundate you with information), so it was refreshing for everything to be short and to the point. Pippy, the resident house dog, was also very sweet - and sometimes followed me around when I was the only one home at the time.

Marie's organization actually books this home for Grace, the host. Grace runs an "old fashioned" bnb, with a friendly greeting as you arrive and a light breakfast featuring fresh breakfast breads and her homemade granola. We loved staying with Grace! We had plenty of privacy, a comfortable and quiet room, a private parking spot and key to come and go as we pleased. Her home is clean and safe. Grace is not intrusive at all, but she was gracious and helpful with any advice we needed during our stay. We picked exactly the right place for a perfect vacation.

Hope was a great host to us! She greeted us at the door and made us feel truly at home. She was such a pleasure to talk to and she gave us great insight into the area and recommendations for our time in Salem. Her place was super cozy and unique. I would absolutely recommend for any one traveling to Salem to stay with hope!

The place was nice, easy to find and get into, we were greeted by Rob, one of the hosts and he was very nice and helpful. I waffled for a while over rating this a 3 or 4 for value, but 5 for everything else. I say 3.5 for value because it seemed much smaller than pictured. Not much space to move around the bed. Any standard hotel room is much bigger than this. The bathroom was very nice though, and they had cream and sugar for us coffee lovers.

Caroline provides a home away from home. Everything was better than we probably expected. The accommodations were beautiful and very comfortable. But, the topping on the cake was our hostess, Caroline. She was a delight in every way.

Mary is absolutely amazing in every way! She is extremely hospitable, thoughtful, kind, helpful, and welcoming. I loved chatting with her and listening to her Irish accent through her stories from when she was in Ireland and beyond. Her house is very spacious and the bed is so comfortable. Her dog is darling too!

Donnell and Duke were great hosts. Donnell is very sweet, easy to talk to and very accommodating. I wasn't there that long but he made me feel very welcomed and safe. Highly recommend.

The location was very convenient, easy to find, and walkable. The room and bathroom were very clean. Connie was a great host: she is so nice, was very responsive to inquiries, is a great conversationalist, and gave great local restaurant/cafe suggestions. Would 100% recommend this AirBnB to anyone looking to stay in the Cambridge/Harvard area.

Great area, super clean, comfortable room and friendly/communicative host!

Marshall and Courtney have curated a hip, comfortable, and immaculate space that is a joy to spend time in. Addison Choate is nestled in an adorable walkable beach town that is an easy trip from Boston. We had a fantastic time, and will be sure to be back!

This was a lovely, true "bed and breakfast", experience. Myra was a delightful host and I would love to come back some time.

I would definitely come back another time. My experience was excellent! The food was delicious and the host was very friendly. Beautiful and charming environment with all of the antiques in the old house. Loved it.

I enjoyed my stay at Natalie’s place. Not only is she a nice host, she is extremely responsive. The self check in made it easy to get in. I saw Natalie on my way out. She graciously offered me breakfast. Sadly I declined because I was in a rush to get to an appointment. I recommend her place!

We had a really fantastic stay at Candace's place! Candace greeted us at checkin. The building itself is very easy to get into as well. Candace gave us a very thorough tour, and the spaces available to us were all very clearly marked. The bedroom and bathroom were private and separated from the rest of the house even though it's a shared space. It was also very soundproof. The location was very quiet, but also an easy walk to both Harvard Square and Porter Square. Candace was an amazing host. Her Airbnb has so many thoughtful touches (multiple mirrors when we said we'd be getting ready for a wedding, dishes set out for us for breakfast, lots of blankets and space heaters, etc.). The art and decorations in the house are incredible, and all have neat stories behind them. The yogurt she provided was literally the best we've ever had in our lives. And Candace was so kind and helpful. We loved hearing about her experiences as a Boston educator. We'd stay again when back in town!

Very nice small, cozy suite. It had everything we needed to prepare a few meals. The surrounding yard was lovely and the medium-firm mattress was incredibly comfortable.

Jodi was a great host, we felt right at home from the second we walked in. Her home was so clean and beautiful. She had everything we could have needed and made an amazing breakfast in the morning, that we enjoyed outside by the fire. We will be staying with her again such a beautiful town.

Jean was very polite and nice. Her house is beautiful, clean and very well located. Thank you for the good vibe, Jean!

A beautiful craftsman style house near the center of Newton and a short drive to anywhere in the Boston area.

We absolutely adored the Rajah Room. It was a beautiful space to stay for our one night in Salem and we would definitely book again in the future!

We loved staying here! We felt so welcomed and comfortable. It was easy to find and parking was great! It was a beautiful place!

I only needed the space for one night and wasn't able to see what was around. But Sheila's place is just as advertised! I wish I needed the space for longer, it is quite a nice spot! The room was spacious, very clean and contemporary. It is the perfect spot to stay just outside of Boston. I would love to stay here again!

Hi Neville!!! I mean, Justin, thank you so much for your hospitality and friendship, the home was an absolute dream for a great night sleep and an excellent breakfast (w/ waffles!!). We will most definitely make plans to visit again, see you then!
