Waterfront vacation rentals in Cambridge

What a wonderful view from the apartment! If someone brought their pet or no pet people there's a park across the street for a lovely walk. Very easy to get in to Salem, train to Boston, very nice location. Everything was very clean and comfortable, they thought of everything to have ready for the guest. Such great host, everything worked out excellent for our stay.

Beautiful setting very convenient for a nice getaway on what feels like an island

it's a very lovely place and wonderful stay. lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The only word of caution I would add is the parking is tight and suitable for smaller vehicles only. We wound up parking on the street around the corner.

Our stay at the downtown Boston apartment was absolutely fantastic! The location couldn’t have been better, right in the heart of the city, close to everything we wanted to see and do. The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt like a true home away from home for me and my family. What truly made the experience exceptional was the host's attention, as well as the concierge at the reception, to detail and incredible hospitality. From the moment we booked, they were attentive, kind, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. They provided clear instructions, thoughtful local recommendations, and even checked in during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. It’s rare to come across a host who genuinely cares about your experience the way they do. We’re so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely stay here again the next time we visit Boston. Highly recommended!

Susan was an amazing host! Her property was immaculate. She was extremely helpful when we needed a last minute adjustment to accommodate a family member. All around great experience.

Perfect location! Very homey. As listed. Great communication w host.

I LOVED my stay here! I stayed here for my birthday trip to Boston with two other people. The view was insanely good for the price. We loved how cozy the place was, especially the couches. An uber to the city was around $20. Patricia was so sweet and gave recommendations of things to do in the area. Parking was free which was so helpful. My only complaint is me and my boyfriend stayed in the downstairs bedroom, and noticed there was a door in the room. We opened it and realized it was an unlocked entrance to our room from the downstairs, where other people were staying. The door had a window that wasn’t covered up very well either. We locked the area so no one could get in, but it was a little uncomfortable knowing we could’ve been sleeping and someone could’ve walked up there if we didn’t notice and lock it. Would 100% recommend just make sure those doors are locked!

Valeri's place was very nice. Beautiful view and great location!

Very satisfied with the stay, everything exceeded expectations!The scenery by the lake is so charming, very quiet and comfortable, the whole family loves it!We'll be back

Great location, great owner, and wonderful stay. We loved walking all around the neighborhood. The screened in porch was lovely. Wonderful backyard. Very nice sheets and towels. Excellent wi-fi and TV. We couldn't have been happier here.

Great location, spacious open floor plan, and beautiful views

Absolutely incredible stay. The host was very helpful. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the lake is stunning. The basement was so so fun- darts, ping pong, billiards, and more games. We miss the house already!

Beautiful waterfront property in Cohasset, gorgeous old home with so much character and tons of usable space. Big lawn for relaxing or games. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful stay, my family and I felt right at home and at peace on the lake. The variety of rooms allowed us to choose who slept where. The host was very responsive and respectful. I truly enjoyed my stay and the Kayaks were a fun addition! Highly recommend!

Rachel’s place is a one of a kind! I came with a group of 10, which had everything we needed. The place has its own private entrance, beautiful surroundings and views. It was very spacious as all of us slept comfortably. Rachel is a great host, always responsive and understanding. My love for Ipswich grew solely based off this place. Everything was in top shape and perfect, I’d recommend it to everyone!

Amy’s house is absolutely beautiful and she is so thoughtful and attentive to details that make it feel like home! From the “bow-folded” towels to snacks on the counter, to the beautiful decorations, everything is amazing! Amy is very kind and responds quickly! We are so glad that we had the chance to stay in her home and can’t wait to come back!!

This was an awesome place for my daughter, her family and I to spend time sightseeing Boston while also letting the kids (and ourselves) relax with some beach time. Access to the Boston sights was easy with our rental car, though I think we could have done it well using the “T” which is a 10 minute walk. The house is giant, and the bedrooms on the upper level allowed the grandpa (me) to go to sleep at a reasonable hour while the kids hung on the lower level. The kitchen has all we needed to cook, though there are restaurants a short walk or a drive. One thing that I loved was that the place was spotless clean and NONE of the little things like loose knobs or broken shades. Oh, and a giant washer/dryer made cleaning up after the beach easy. I consider this the best of the AirBnB homes I’ve visited.

Loved our stay at Diana’s place- we were celebrating my bachelorette party. It was nice to be so close to downtown Salem but also on a private street- it’s walkable or a 5 min or less uber drive away. The place has really cool water views out the windows! We had a small fire alarm issue but Diana was very helpful and responsive. I would recommend trying the sauna it was very relaxing!

Thank you for sharing your home! I found this a very convenient location to the T which brought us right to downtown Boston. I especially appreciated the umbrella that was left for use in the living room as I forgot mine and it was a rainy weekend. This apartment was spotless and I loved the espresso machine!

Mark's place was outstanding. It was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. We chose the location because of the local views (the marsh is so beautiful, and it did not disappoint!) and because of the excellent reviews, and it met all our hopes and expectations. As a fellow Airbnb host who wants a very clean place for my own guests and when I travel, I think this was the cleanest place I've every stayed. It was truly spotless, which was so lovely. Mark was responsive and helpful when we had a question. The bed was comfortable (albeit tall--a short person might need a boost up!), there was so much closet room, and overall plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was bright & well outfitted. We had a wonderful time, even though we arrived in the middle of an unusual late-May Nor'easter. We enjoyed the local restaurants and cute Mayflour bakery, and used Mark's guide book for choosing a beach. We very much hope to come back! Thank you Mark for your kind hospitality!

The place was stunning and close to Boston Commons and all the tourist attractions. Jay was wonderful and came over to greet us and talk about all the amenities and getting around Boston. We loved the place and looking forward to staying again!

Spiro was an awesome host. He met me when I arrived, showed me around, and even offered to help me bring stuff in from my car. His home was so clean. I loved the historic photos on the fridge and he had a ton of great books too! The balcony was probably my favorite part with the view of the water. It was also easy to park my car in the street right in front of the home where I could easily see it. I would definitely stay here again.

This was my first time using airbnb, Charley made it a breeze. The space was great and organized well, very impressed by his use of the space and amenities his place offered. It was close enough to everything we needed , very walkable and being close to the water was an added bonus. Our daughters enjoyed going down during low tide and looking at the little crabs. His instructions were very clear, and great communication, check in and check out was simple. It had everything we needed and was nice to come back to after a long day of site seeing. Everything exceeded my expectations, I highly recommend staying here.

Just got home from a week in the Sandcastle. It is even better in person. It sits on the rope walk, along the bay. It was fun to walk the dogs, and people watch. The beach is just steps away, and it was fun to pick up shells. Fun for the entire family.
