About this property

Close to the City - Far from the Hassles

You can fall asleep to the sound of the waves! A private one-bedroom apartment with a deck, a grill and a garden. This quiet and secluded location overlooks the Swampscott harbor that has three beaches as well as a number of shops and restaurants within an easy walk. Its close enough to stroll along the beach to hear some music at a local restaurant, yet far enough not to be disturbed by it at night.
Salem is only 10 minutes away and downtown Boston about 30. The place offers perfect relaxation after a busy day.

Nice little hideaway a hop skip and a round about away from Boston
I am appreciative of the owners detailed description on how to find this property as I probably never would have found it otherwise. It is tucked away on the hillside of a beautiful inlet on the coast. The view of the water and Boston skyline from our balconey/porch was amazing. The setup was perfect for a couple, any more than 2 wouldn't fit well. Was kind of like a mother-in-law suite with a small stove, fridge, and sink. We used the fridge to stash "beverages" and snacks found on our adventure into Boston and Salem. We were unable to catch any of the local food in Swampscott but acess to a lot of good restaurants within 15-20 minutes especially in and around Salem, ones in Boston were a bit farther past the airport. Highly recomend for a weekend/week get away for a couple.
