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!

Colorado Visitors

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.

Fabulous location and view

The home has a wrap around covered porch so you can get breezes from ocean or harborside! It is located within walking distance of Scituate Harbor and all of the shops and restaurants. Lovely hammock to lay in and watch the boats and birds and seals! Perfect location!

Fantastic Oceanfront Home

Great location near Sand Hills beach and lighthouse. Close to main drag with cute shops & restaurants. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch in the morning and the back deck watching the seals. Bob was a great host and communicated with us throughout the stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Bob and Barbara's house. The location was excellent, within walking distance to town (about 20 minute walk). Great views, nice and quiet at night. Hottub was a hit for the kids.

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!

Beautiful location right on the ocean. The house is updated and in pristine condition. It has room air conditioners and fans; kitchen and baths well supplied. The owners are very helpful--needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Our new favorite spot

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.

Beautiful Getaway Home

This home is very welcoming! The view from the back porch is amazing. Hearing the waves splash on the rocks is so soothing. The house is stocked with everything you would need and more. Bob and Barb are great hosts. The gifts they left for us was so thoughtful. I highly recommend this location you will have a great experience and the neighbors are very friendly. The local restaurant food was soooo good!!!! Would definitely stay again.
