Great Beach House
This beach house was perfect for our family!
Scituate is a cute little town and about an hour train ride into Boston. The house was clean and well stocked. The kids loved being on the ocean, climbing the rocks/exploring, and the hot tub (and of course the treats in the welcome basket :) Bob was great at communicating.
Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful experience!
My family and I had an amazing time in Scituate. The whole experience was effortless. Bob & Barb have a lovely home and have thought of everything a guest would need during their stay. Communication with Bob was easy and began right away.
The view is incredible, the neighborhood is perfect for a stroll and there are many beaches to choose from in the area.
I definitely recommend staying with Bob & Barb!

Best VRBO ever
Bob and Barb could not have been more accommodating. The house was spotless, the kitchen very well set up for cooking, and the view magnificent. Easy stroll to the local shop for a paper. The welcome basket was a pleasant surprise and all the toys for the grandchildren very thoughtful. Really a pleasant stay and would definitely come back.

Nice little beach house
We enjoyed our stay. Communication was great, quick responses. They were very thoughtful with their provisions. A lot of little touches you don't find in most rentals. That was very nice.
And my husband did say the beds were comfortable, something he never says.
The 4 stars is for two things. 1. The primary shower is in need of updating/replacement. 2. The AC is portable and while it is in each bedroom, it's noisy. We had good weather and would have loved to open the windows, but unfortunately that would let bugs get in so we had to keep them closed.
Otherwise we had a great time!

Bob & Barbara were great hosts. Wind & Rain came through Situate from Hurrican Lee and Bob stayed in continued contact with us to make sure we were ok and not in need of anything. This home is a great location for a nice 20/30 minute walk into town for a little shopping or eating. Thank you for your hospitality.

Beautiful location
We had a wonderful week! The views from this home are unbeatable and the constant sound of the ocean is so peaceful. It’s a stone’s throw from the beautiful lighthouse and jetty’s where we did some fishing (and actually caught a striper!) and at low tide the lighthouse beach is perfect for seaglass hunting. It’s also a quick walk to the harbor full of great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It has been maintained very well and is extremely neat and clean. Bob and Barb were the best hosts! They literally have thought of everything. We stay at a lot of different rentals and this was by far our favorite. I mean who wouldn’t want to wake up to breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean! We can’t wait to go back!!!

Sleeping to the sound of the ocean
This was a lovely property with kind, thoughtful hosts. In any of the three bedrooms, you get to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Very comfortable beds and nice showers. My only concern would be that this house is not accessible for anyone with mobility issues. If stairs are difficult, this isn't your rental. Overall, a delightful place for a vacation.
