Absolutely adorable house with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The kitchen had all we needed to cook meals and the grill was a bonus. Six adults and we had plenty of room to be comfortable. Communication was super easy and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend 100%.

I have been booking with VRBO for several years. For a week of doing everything Boston, you will not find a better place. Clean, close to everything, but far enough away, and a host, Steve, who was always available and so helpful when needed. If I return to Boston, this is my place.

Great spot for a big family!

This was a great stay for our family of 6 to spread out and access Boston easily, from the super safe and cozy town of Milton! Lots to do and see. Laundry facilities were great to have to clean up the sports equipment too!

This is probably the best-stocked kitchen we've experienced in a short-term rental: the inventory of pots and pans and appliances (even a slow cooker) was excellent, and we're partial to gas stoves. It's quite a lot of room, and everything is nicely updated. Be aware that the stairs are quite steep; my mother had trouble climbing them, but the living room couch was extremely comfy and she slept very well down there.

Property was clean and exactly as described. You get a lot of space at a good price. Best part about this property is how quickly you can get into Boston. It is located a short walk from the T and is very convenient.

Cozy stay in Milton

Small cozy duplex. We were staying for a short weekend to visit friends that live near Boston. Everything we needed to prepare meals were there, from pots and pans to an air fryer. It was just what we needed. Would stay again.

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.
