Dream House Experience

If you are looking for a great place to stay that is comfortable and modern, this is it. The host is available to support any questions and the home is ideally located close to many attractions and Boston College (the purpose of my stay was to move in our student for their first year at college). The house is beautiful and has a pool and jacuzzi with a grill which makes for great family dining and fun. Stay here - you won't regret it!

Clean, cozy, cool and luxurious for the summer. The pool is not heated as it says on the listing but this was ok for us in 90 degree summer heat. The stay exceeded expectations. The host was very responsive and my whole family was happy!

Very pleased your family enjoyed your stay, Sarah. The pool is indeed seasonal and not heated, as it states in the house description. All-season hot tub provides a great contrast. Looking forward to hosting you again.

The location was about 30 mins from downtown Boston area, and we rented a car, but the train station is not far away (within walking distance) however the week we stayed there the train station was closed for renovations, which would have been nice to know. The traffic in Boston is pretty crazy so public transportation is important in this area. We did take the train downtown to the Haymarket area which was pretty easy, but needed to drive to a different train station in Forest heights which was about 15 min drive away

Amazing Property and Owner

We visited for a weekend and had an amazing time! The house was very clean, neat and exceeded our expectations! Too many extras to list them all, but it was a great weekend. The area is very quiet and safe, and it was only 20 minutes to Boston. Tamara was very easy to work with and very responsive. We could not ask for more! Next time we travel to MA we’ll be back!!!!

Of mixed opinions

Lets just start with this, we believed we were getting a home with a working hot tub and a suana. While the suana was working, the hot tub had zero eater and looked like hadnt been run in years. In addition, the home had a large pest infestation. We literally had ants pouring out of the walls in numerous rooms. Its quirky, but it needs some attention and love.
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 8 July 2025
Thanks so much for your review and for staying with us! I’m truly sorry the timing with the hot tub wasn’t ideal. It had just broken before your arrival, and I did reach out in advance to explain that a brand-new one was being ordered. I’m happy to share that it’s now fully installed and ready to enjoy! Regarding the ants - your stay was during the first hot day of the season (April 1st), and we hadn’t had any issues prior. I sent pest control right away, and they were at the house within 30 minutes. We always try to respond as quickly and professionally as possible when something unexpected pops up. Thanks again for your feedback - it really helps us improve. I’d love the opportunity to host you again for a more seamless and relaxing experience!

Perfect for family vacation

Tamara was responsive, kind and welcoming. The home is exceptional with surprises like heated towl racks and a heated toilet seat in the master bathroom! I even enjoyed a massage in the chairs downstairs! The pool does need repairs but the water was clean, the swimming was still very nice and my whole family enjoyed the hot tub. What I might have loved the most was the neighborhood. I felt so safe, it was super quiet and comfortable yet it only took us 20min to get to the Boston Aquarium. It really was perfect for us! We made wonderful family memories, our gratitude to Tamara and her hospitality. 🙏

A Blissful Retreat with Luxurious Amenities

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful home for a weekend getaway, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the charming atmosphere and luxurious amenities. The hot tub and sauna were absolute highlights, providing a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration. The heated tiles in the bathroom added an extra touch of comfort, making every moment in the house a delight. I can only imagine how fantastic it would be to revisit during the summer and take advantage of the pool. The thought of lounging by the poolside sounds like a dream! The attention to detail in this home is truly commendable, creating a cozy and memorable experience. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing and indulgent escape. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Clean, Adult & Kid Friendly, Safe neighborhood, Great Location!

Tamara was a great host, quick to respond to questions and even checked in with us to ensure the pool was continuously clean and all was well with the house and amenities. House was clean, spacious, and had plenty of sleeping and sitting space. We all enjoyed having the pool with diving board and pool floats as well as the hot tub! Beds were all super comfortable and multi-bathrooms with showers were great for our family! Location is perfect for those wanting to be near Boston or drive even further for some v tourist spots, but not have to driver farther than 20-30 minutes! My 11,13, and 15 year old kids wanted to give their own review, here it is: We LOVED our own comfy beds and bathrooms with our own space to relax. Internet worked great and massage chairs felt so good after the long days of walking our tourist spots. Pool and hot tub were so fun and the showers were amazing! If back in Boston area, we will return for more time at Tamara’s home for sure!
