About this apartment rental
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.
NOTE: THE PROPERTY IS ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY STAIRS, do not book if you have mobility issues! Checkout is 10 AM. At the end of your stay please take out the trash, and strip the bed.
Please tell me a little bit about your trip when booking and let me know if it’s 2 or 3 people that are coming. Thanks!

Small cozy beachhouse, while not on the beach, just steps away. Also those steps lead to swampscotts bustlin resteruant lineup, breakfast, lunch and dinner you choose. Quick drive between both Boston and Salem too. My wife and I loved our stay.

Cozy, one bedroom apartment on the ocean. My friends and I stayed here to visit Salem and it was very easy to get there every day via bus, commuter rail, or a cheap Uber/Lyft. Great amenities (stove, microwave, dishes, etc.). The bed and pullout couch were very comfortable. The TV in the bedroom is a smart TV and is able to connect to Netflix, Spotify, etc. The porch overlooking the beach was beautiful and had a small table to sit at. Great for relaxing on at night. The apartment was a tad damp, so there were a few spiders, but nothing really noticeable. Would stay again

Very nice and clean apartment with everything we needed for a short stay. Good location on a quiet street. The spacious deck with water views was a wonderful spot for an evening glass of wine or morning coffee. The stairs were a bit challenging, but overall we had a great stay at Ivan's place!

We had a fabulous time visiting. Location ideal. You could easily walk to town have some dinner. There was an event going on with live music. We could hear it from the deck, which was wonderful while watching the airplanes coming in and out of Boston and all of the boats and ships in the water as well right from the deck, lots of birds had a really great time. Highly recommend taking the ferry from Lynn over to Boston. That was very nice.

My fiance and I stayed here for a weekend trip to celebrate our anniversary. This apartment has everything you could ask for. It was very clean and comfortable inside and the deck makes for a perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening meal. You can see the ocean from the deck! It's also walking distance from a bunch of restaurants and only a ~20 minute drive from Salem. We loved our stay here!

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.

I have family in Swampscott and wanted to be near. This was the perfect location! Super cute neighborhood. You can walk to cafes and restaurants in minutes and take a stroll or jog along the paved sidewalk near the bay. My daughter said the apartment reminded her of a European flat. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It made our visit with family super convenient. Will definitely be staying here again. We are from Texas and aren’t used to Massachusetts winters, so we found the apartment a little cold. Other than that, we had a great stay.

This property was perfect for two people! It’s located right in between Salem, Ma and Boston, Ma., so it was great to be able to explore both in one trip. The property itself was very clean and Ivan was quick to respond to any communications we had. I would love to stay here again!

My wife and I had a great experience with Ivan and his property. It was just as nice and clean in person as in the add. Check in and check out were seamless. I would rent again and have already recommended this place to my sons and friends.

Perfect for our purpose of a quick girls getaway. Partial view of water and sailboats off the porch. Very quiet area and nieghbors. Property was clean, a fresh coat of paint would make it look better. Ivan is a terrific host, he let us drop off our luggage early while the cleaning crew worked. He also brought us extra towels and paper towel when we requested. We would stay again if we came back to this area.

Cozy and worth the stairs!
Ivan's little place is tucked away in a small alcove just a few hundred feet from the shore. Great view to wake up to in the morning and very nice neighborhood worth the evening walk back from dinner or grilling on the deck after a day at nearby Salem. The only downside was the stairs required to get to the apartment but aside from that. A perfect little getaway with easy access to Salem and the Boston area.
