About

Experience the best of Boston from the Harborview House. This stunning waterfront home is only 5 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes from downtown Boston - yet feels like a world away. Enjoy panoramic views of the water from every floor, a terraced backyard patio with fire pit, gas grill and Constitution Beach only 1 block away. If you’re looking for a unique, luxury home for your group or family while you’re in Boston, the Harborview House should be your destination!

Good to know

On the ground floor you’ll find a large Rec room that includes 2 couches facing a 70" smart TV with HDMI connection - perfect for presentations or movie nights. You'll also find the treadmill room, a 1/2 bath and wet bar, and a walkout terraced patio and garden with a fire pit and gas grill. The second floor includes an open kitchen and dining area with plenty of seating for 10 guests as well as two bedrooms, each with their own full bath. On the top floor you’ll find the primary suite, an additional bedroom and bath, and lounge / bar with two twin Wabi-Sabi Japanese-style futons fully made and ready for sleeping, a 55" smart frame TV, gas fireplace and 15’ wood-lined ceilings that frame the spectacular views. Every floor has exterior decks that are connected by a spiral staircase. You'll also get to enjoy long showers with endless hot water thanks to our tankless system!

Other Details to Note

Maximum group size is 10 people - The city of Boston prohibits any groups of more than 10 people at an Airbnb so we are unable to hosting wedding ceremonies or other larger gatherings that would have more than 10 guests. No loud parties - We are on a quiet residential street and our neighbors are only 3 feet away and we will be alerted to any excessive noise. *If it is determined that a party was held at the home with more guests than where part of your reservation, you will be charged a $1,000 fee.* No pets - Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate pets. No smoking inside - Smoking is only permitted outside in the backyard. Please property dispose of butts in the outdoor trashcan under the spiral staircase. No venturing into the marsh or onto our neighbor's dock or yards - This is an oceanfront home and as enticing as it may be to explore the marsh, the mud is like quicksand and you will get stuck. If you'd like to walk along the sand or go swimming, the public beach is right at the end of the block.

Harvard was a great host! Excellent commentator with fast helpful responses. House was perfect for our family gathering. View was beautiful, binoculars were a great touch! Our group used all of the spaces, it is obvious a lot of thought went into planning and creating this inviting home. House was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Proximity to airport was great. Would highly recommend this house! Until next time Boston…

This place was perfect for my family of 5 in every way. It's destination-worthy in and of itself. It's a 3 minute walk to the beach with hermit crabs, clams, regular crabs, minnows, tide pools (we were there for hours every day - go at low tide and flip rocks). The huge, wide windows look out over the bay AND the airport runway so you can watch boats, waves, planes all at the same time. My 9 year old watched planes all morning our first day. ...and the space itself. I've never felt quite so cozy AND sophisticated - quiet rooms with high ceilings, great books placed thoughtfully throughout, delightful paintings, live plants EVERYWHERE, a GORGEOUS vegetable garden in the back, two decks, a spiral staircase outside.. just being IN the space gave the whole family very chill but fun vibes. And of course it's 15 minutes from Boston and good food quickly delivered :) We plan to make it a yearly visit :)
