Alicia was outstanding! Communication was simple, plentiful and extremely responsive. The home was easy to find, onsite parking. Everything was sparkling clean. We wanted for absolutely nothing! If you forgot something, they had it. Superb suggestions for things to see, places to eat or shop. Kitchen was fully stocked and we had been left snacks and breakfast items which were so welcome after a long day of driving or sightseeing. Beds were very comfortable and the bedding was perfect. If I could rank their home 20/10, I would. Absolutely amazing place and absolutely amazing hosts.

The best possible stay one can have. Alicia and Leland are the sweetest and most thoughtful hosts. Very knowledgeable about local places to eat and visit. Very lovely folk. The place itself was gorgeous, and very clean. Very spacious and comforting as we had traveled far to get here, it felt very warm and welcoming. They had everything one could need and more stocked from the spices to teas to tape to bug bite cream! You name it they had it! They even had extra beach towels and chairs to take so you wouldn’t have to bring them. This was the best getaway experience one could ask for. 100/10 will recommend to anyone looking to stay in MA!

It was absolutely the most charming and inviting place we have stayed. The warm tones with decor bringing the coastal view’s inside making it so relaxing. Alicia & Lee made sure we had everything we needed including fresh bagels, muffins and fruit for breakfast with an assortment of beverages. The views and location are breath taking. It was absolutely one of the most relaxing vacations and we would love to make future visits.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. It was nice to bring Anthony out for some fishing along with getting a trip to the lobster company. It was nice to have my friend give you guys some neat info about the live lobsters you bought. Thx for treating me to a lobster and I hope the lobster stayed cold during your trip back home.

Beautiful/spacious/accomidating

What a wonderful stay we had at this Vrbo. I was spacious and the bathroom is roomy. There is a beautiful park to hike a small distance away (ravenwoods) and going the other way is a lovely park to walk in that takes you by the water and leads to some beautiful views. The hosts were accommodating and very responsive. Also had great insight to the area and things to do or see. I would def stay here today.

Fabulous

This is a wonderful property. It is much larger than it appears in the listing. It is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Alicia was a fountain of information about the area and even gave us a super, secret place to park in Salem. I’ve never had a host supply us with breakfast before, much less text to see what we would like to eat. It was a fabulous trip and this rental had a lot to do with it. Highly recommended!
