Loved Our Stay
The location is excellent for getting into Boston either by driving or by parking at train station and taking the train. The view of the Boston skyline from the house is breathtaking. The house is very comfortable and unique. Pretty much everything is provided for you. Great communication with the host. We sure hope to come back again.

Awesome view of Boston
The house is nearly on the water. Only one street separates the house from the bay. Across the bay is an unobstructed view of downtown Boston. We took Ubers into town each day and never waited more than 10 minutes for a pick up. The drive into Boston was rather easy. The house had comfortable furniture and beds. The owner communicated well and even had a warm loaf of bread waiting for us. The bathroom was well-stocked with 2-ply toilet paper! If I make it back to Boston, I will definitely stay here again.

A lot lopsided....
We will start with the fact that all the reviews were favorable, but we wondered if those folks ever stayed anywhere else that they could actually compare the property with? Yes, it was an old place, but there are a lot of things that you really don't know before getting there. One being that the floors are so lopsided and slanted that it is hard to navigate in some areas. The master bedroom runs completely downhill, and the walk-in closet makes you feel as if you are going down a long hill, you slide right into the corner. This is not a good place for anyone that may have trouble walking or a disability. The main description notes 3 bedrooms, be sure to read the fine print when you scroll down because one of the bedrooms is actually the living room. There are roads on either side of the home, so you hear traffic constantly. If you expect to hear waves like the description notes, you will be disappointed. The view is very pretty, but the photos on line are taken from an upstairs window, which you will not have. You have access to the downstairs only. There is no place outside to actually sit and enjoy the view. The massage chair in the living room does not work very well and is extremely loud. The bathroom could use a little updating as the shower stall does not look very appealing and the bath mat is stained. The towels were a bit worn and stained also. Most of the brochures that are there are out of date by a few years, so you may not get accurate information if you rely on them (we left some new ones). The mattresses are not very comfortable, the twin beds sink way down and the bed in the living room bangs and clunks every time you move. The description also notes 10 minutes from one place to another, but it's not as easy as it sounds, especially if relying on public transportation. We asked for directions to the ferry and was provided with a printout of a map page with no directions. We were a bit disappointed by that. The kitchen sink also had a horrible odor coming from it - we believe it was from the garbage disposal, which should probably be cleaned. If you want to stay away from it all and have your own car, this may be a good area. Just not what we expected based on the description. It wasn't the worst place we ever encountered, but probably wouldn't use it again. A little too far from everything when relying on public transportation, and the uneven floors throughout were challenging.

Boston Vacation
This property is at a perfect location between Boston and Plymouth. Close to but not in the city. Waterfront with views of the sunset give this location a high rating. The reason for the 4-star rating on the accuracy of online listing is because it is listed as a 3-bedroom, kitchen, living room and dining room, etc. Bedroom #3 is actually a bed placed in the living room. Other than that is was a great stay. Thank You,

Incredible!
I was looking for a place that my kids, ages 7, 8, and 9, could be comfortable in, from where we could launch for day trips, and where we all could enjoy the waterfront. This place did NOT disappoint! One of my favorite experiences from the 8-day trip was watching my children exploring Quincy Bay and enjoying the waves! The location was perfect! The bus from Quincy Station stopped right at our door! And the bus to QS was a couple blocks away, to which my children walked on the bay wall. The televisions and wifi allowed us all to zone out at the end of what we made very long days. It was wonderful to come "home" to a comfy and inviting place. I strongly recommend it!

Enjoyed our time in Quincy
My family enjoyed our stay in Quincy. It was a great home-base for traveling into Boston and trips down to Cape Cod and Newport, RI. The subway was a short drive from the house and easy to navigate. I read many reviews and knew what to expect as far as quirks to an older home (ie. slanted floors) and the roads on the sides of the house. We enjoyed watching the Boston skyline from the sea wall across from the house, eating at Off the Hook, and getting ice cream from the neighborhood shop. We appreciated the beach gear and maps/pamphlets for area attractions. The house was stocked with what we needed and fairly priced.

Everything was great
Everything is as described. Communication was always quick and easy to understand. My kids loved walking across the street and collecting shells each day. The closest beach is very rocky, fyi, so you’ll want water shoes. Place was comfortable and we knew the age/what to expect so it was totally fine! And it’s great that they have everything you need! Not having to pack linens is so helpful!

Nice views, and town.
Had a great time in the area, home is ok, older, but its was perfect for the wife and I. Views were great, and close enough to all major attractions in Boston. Property manager was extremely prompt and check in was easy and friendly. Overall we had everything we needed. Beach supplies, beds and shower, and the price was very fair.
