This was a beautiful Airbnb. Very clean, looked just like the pictures, easy to access and walkable. Mark was very responsive to my questions and there were a ton of recommendations in the binder when you entered the home. It was only a 10 minute drive to Nahant and very easy to find. I would highly recommend this place!!!

Great place to stay with in walking distance of the beach. Restaurants also within walking distance. Good place for a group or two couples traveling as you can have your own space.

This has been my favorite airbnb I have stayed in to date. The pictures dont do this house justice. It is very spacious, super charming, & in a wonderful location. Mark was a wonderful host. Very informative & quick to respond with any questions I had. Would definitely stay here again!! Thank you Mark!
