Weekend reunion

Seven of us for a family reunion. Great location. Easy to zip up to Fenway Park to see a good game, and also down to the beach. Really good food options. Everything about the house was easy. Having great parking was key. Best checkout I’ve ever had on all of my VRBO stays. I’d definitely stay again.

Don’t hesitate, awesome !

We loved staying here, so convenient to Boston sites and cape cod, MBTA right down the street. May be small but we had 5 adults, 3 yr old and 1 year old, worked great! A beautiful, safe neighborhood, with true New England charm😀. The porch, patio and yard with kid’s equipment was a real bonus! Yes the stairs are narrow and steep, but so are most homes in New England! The owner truly cares, and is delightful! We were there for a week and it was perfect!
