Gather in the dining room that seats up to 14, or step out onto the large deck to take in the tranquil harbor views. As the seasons turn, enjoy crisp coastal walks just steps away at World’s End, a 251-acre sanctuary with sweeping views of the Boston skyline. Afterward, return to the warmth of home—relax by one of the two indoor fireplaces or cozy up around the outdoor fireplace next to the inviting hot tub.

We loved the location of the home in Hingham. The proximity to World’s End was fabulous for daily jogs, walks and even some fishing for our grandsons. The home is large and has a beautiful view. It was perfect for our extended family with a large deck and dining room. It’s close to the ferry for trips to Boston. We will return again for future family visits.

Excellent 3 night stay for a weekend family retreat.Host was welcoming and responsive. House was larger than it seemed due to beautiful open floorplan on the first floor. More than enough room for our entire party to be comfortable. First floor was perfect for one with limited mobility in our party. Large dining room table allowed us to eat dinner as a family.Nice quiet neighborhood, a very short walk to World's End park with great views of the city. Convenient location with short drive to Hingham Shipyard to take the ferry in to Long Wharf.Overall, a great atmosphere, felt like a home.

Great Property; Great Location

House is spacious and perfect for a larger family to spread out. Outdoor space is perfect for summer barbecues. Location is excellent for both local activities (beaches, shops restaurants, parks) as well as taking a jaunt into Boston (ferry to Boston is an 8 min drive from house and is a scenic 30 min cruise through the harbor to land downtown). Would stay again.

Wonderful house in Hingham

We loved our trip to Massachusetts and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hingham. The house was fantastic and well maintained. The rooms sizes are ample so lots of room for all of us to spread out. The house is on an amazing lot with a great view. It's a very short walk to World's End (nature preserve) and we visited there more than once. It's also easy to get to other locations such as Boston and Plymouth. Communication with the owners and property manager were super easy. My family said this was one of our best vacations. I would definitely stay in this house again. Can't say enough nice things about it!

Glorious week in Hingham

Our family had an amazing stay at Richard’s home. He was extremely easy to work with and had an on-site property manager readily available for any issues. We loved using the kayaks and the beach chairs, toys and umbrellas were plentiful. We walked in World’s End daily and loved watching the sunsets from the back deck. The home was spacious and well equipped and came packed with everything you would need- truly a just-bring-your-toothbrush type of rental! Our kids enjoyed ping pong, air hockey and many of the lawn and board games. We would LOVE to return to this gem! Thank you!

A wonderful place with so much to do

This is a great property that is near the water and World's End. Between the two there were endless opportunities for walking, running, biking, kayaking, swimming, fishing and exploring tidal areas. The house itself is spacious and accommodating. 10 people can dine together inside or out and sleep comfortably. There are plenty of indoor activities as well--the ping pong tournaments were so fun we never even got around to playing air hockey. Walking across the large lawn to sit and view spectacular sunsets over Hingham harbor every night will be one of many lasting memories. The owners are also very friendly and helpful. We hope to stay again in the future.

Hingham holiday

We really enjoyed our stay in Hingham. The location is terrific. Richard is extremely personable and helpful. Most of the house is lovely. Pots, pans, cutlery, glasses, toaster, towels and bedding all provided. Beds comfortable. Unfortunately the basement has some moisture issues so we only used it for the laundry room. Also the air conditioning and window unit in the upstairs king bedroom is iffy making it not so comfortable in summer weather. The garden was very nice for the children to play in while we sat and chatted on the deck. Easy to access Boston by ferry. Walking to The Worlds End was beautiful. We had a lovely trip….

Graduation stay

Came up with our kids and grandkids for our youngest’s graduation. There were 11 of us, we stayed 5 days. House was beautiful. Plenty of space, including two bedrooms for our daughters who have young children. Beds were comfortable - I slept so well. Back deck and yard are fantastic. The kitchen was well equipped. We cook at home a lot (one reason we rent BNBs) and this house had everything we needed. And plenty of dishes. Owner was very responsive and accommodating. Hot tub wasn’t working (the only reason I rated a four on accuracy of listing), but the part had already been ordered, I’m sure it’s been fixed by now.

Enjoyed our stay

The rental was very nice and with a good location. Neighborhood is very quite and friendly. House had all you needed and we would likely stay again. Need to disclose a few things - the beds are creaky, so much so you are afraid to move in the middle of the night. We highly recommend the owners invest in beds given the cost of the rental. Same for doors, both the front and the back doors need maintenance. We had to keep locking everyone out of the front door and the back would not lock. The hot tub was unusable, we tested the water which needed alot of chemicals but none were available. You also have to supply your own wood. The fridge needs the filters replaced, the ice was a little gross so we bought some. Proximity to the beach is awesome and access to Worlds End is very convenient.

Birthday, Graduation, Extravaganza!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Richard and this property. It is a hidden gem for a family vacation in Massachusetts. Close to Boston for a baseball game, Plymouth, hike, kayak, or just never leave and spend time with family enjoying the amazing views. The number one response of all my guests (including my dogs) was how relaxed they felt and how amazing the house was to allow us to make such special memories. My parents are in their late 70’s with some mobility issues. The first floor allowed them to be comfortable with the ability to enjoy the deck, the views, and their room without worrying about stairs. There are 2 steps up to the main living room. This does not limit access but we did make sure to accommodate for ease. Don’t let that deter you because everything about this house is worth the time and money. Instead of visiting any of the great local restaurants we chose to cook and enjoy amazing family time. This was only possible because of the beautiful dining room, great deck and grill, amazing views. I truly cannot say enough positive about this house, but the family we rented from. Thank you – and congratulations on your summer of graduations too!! My family is forever grateful of the special memories you helped us create!!!

Family gathering/retreat

This was the perfect home for a family gathering after the loss of a loved one. The home and area is quiet and serene. You are literally in the back of the Worlds End nature reservation, but still close to shopping and dining areas. The home is clean and the host, Richard is just a text message away and is very attentive and responsive to your needs as a guest.
