Scituate, MA: Experience Coastal Charm in a 3-Bedroom Family-Friendly Home.

Welcome to our charming ranch house, located in the picturesque coastal town of Scituate, Massachusetts. This home, lovingly built in the 1960s by my father, offers a peaceful retreat with modern updates and a personal touch. Whether you're planning a quiet getaway or an adventure-packed vacation, this property serves as the perfect base to explore all that Scituate has to offer.

A Prime Location

Nestled across the street from a scenic cranberry bog, you'll enjoy stunning sunsets and serene walking paths right at your doorstep. For beach lovers, Scituate boasts five beautiful beaches, all within a 3-5 mile drive:

Peggotty Beach (closest)

Minot Beach

Sand Hills Beach

Egypt Beach

Humarock Beach (farthest)

To park at the beaches, you’ll need a weekly parking sticker, available at the Town Hall for approximately $50. Just bring your rental agreement and car registration. For early birds, limited free parking is available at the back of Peggotty Beach. Alternatively, you can park at St. Mary’s Church or near the lighthouse for a scenic walk to the shore.

Beyond the beaches, Scituate is filled with unique attractions and activities:

Scituate Harbor: Just 3 miles away, featuring waterfront restaurants, quaint shops, and cozy cafes.

Local Flavor: Enjoy a craft brew at the nearby brewery.

A Home with History

Amazing stay with the family.

Absolutely loved Elaine's home. Plenty of space for our family. Some reviews mention "dated" but as someone who grew up in the area, the house is perfectly "dated". It reminds me of the houses I grew up in. House was clean and well stocked. We will be sure to stay here again on our next visit.

Quiet location with easy access to Boston

Our family had a wonderful time at this property during our Boston vacation. With easy access to either the T or the Ferry, you can get into Boston wilthout driving fairly painlessles. The property is wonderful: it's quiet and rural but at the same time has great internet speed; a perfect place to wind down after a day of sightseeing. The owner is friendly and responses to questions quickly. It was a great location for our trip.

Great place for a family with pets

3 spacious bedrooms. 2 full baths. Kitchen seats 8 (with 2 at island). It's really helpful that the side deck has gates so you can have a dog sitting outside and not worry. Owner also has dog leads by the front door. Beds comfortable. Plenty of dishes, glasses and silverware. Large fridge. Living room has plenty of room for 8 people. Very nice there are children books and some toys. We'd definetely return.

House grew on us

Plenty good about this house and lots of potential. Master bedroom spacious and bed comfortable. Bathrooms are fine. A lot could stand a good cleaning or replacement. Some of the rugs need replaced. Couch could use a good cleaning. Kitchen needs a clean out. Refrigerator doors filled with yucky used condiments that no one would want to use. Too much junky stuff makes it feel unkept. Deck was unusable when we got there but owner very responsive and fixed the problem quickly. Yard needs a clean up too. All in all once we settled in the house it worked for our situation and we enjoyed the stay. Would stay again.

Disappointing Stay Despite Responsive HostWe booked a week here for my daughter’s Oct wedding & were very disappointed by the condition.Positives: Host communicated promptly & courteously, informing us the property had been cleaned & was ready for early check-in. When I reported serious cleanliness issues, she apologized, offered to refund the cleaning fee, & followed up to ask if we planned to stay. Since there were no other accommodations available, we remained for 4 nights & she arranged for her cleaner to return.Negatives: Property was extremely dirty & far below VRBO standards. It smelled musty & window sills were full of dust & debris. The master bath had urine under the toilet seat, toothpaste on the mirror, & mold or mildew in the shower. Floors throughout were unswept, with dirt, dust, cobwebs, & spiders. Clearly, the home had not been properly cleaned before our arrival.Before the cleaner returned, I scrubbed toilets/showers & wiped cobwebs myself. When she arrived, she was dismissive and cleaned only the specific spots I pointed out. I then re-cleaned the floors & shower, documenting the filth with video/photos shared with the host.The host explained it’s an older family home being updated gradually with a plan for “deep cleaning” & paint after our stay. I requested refunds for 3 unused nights & the cleaning fee but received no response. She later cited “utility costs” from an open window as her reason for denying a refund.Buyer beware & stay elsewhere!

Living room floor I cleaned after the cleaner left.

Living room floor when we arrived. Obvious it had not been cleaned.

Nice Scenic New England Home

My family travelled to the South Shore from Arizona to spend time with family during the Fall season to enjoy the beautiful New England atmosphere and foliage. This home provided a great family space that was comfortable and a good gathering place both inside and outside with a wonderful patio. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Fun Older Home!

The property owner was responsive and communicated in a timely manner. The property was perfect for our older golden retriever but renters do need to be aware the road is busy in front of the house. Awesome deck (recently added). Loved the comfortable couch (not all our VRBO’s have had comfortable sitting areas. The TV is huge and easily run with access to Netflix, Hulu, Apple, etc. Plenty of fans helped spread out the bedroom air conditioning. Remodeled bathrooms have luscious deep towels. (Note to older renters - toilet seats are low and with remodeled higher bathroom vanities it is difficult to get off the toilet seat. TMI I know but it caused a problem for us). Condiments stocked in the kitchen was much appreciated as we cooked most our meals. The welcome basket was a very nice touch. Gracious hostess!
