About this property

The Villa at Eastie overlooks the harbor and shipping channels, early morning lobstermen can be seen from the sunroom hauling their traps, as well as the ships coming to port. Plane bugs (id book) will love the spectacular view of Logan Int. Airport. At the end of the street is Constitution Beach. There are kayaks for the adventurous or relax in the fountain garden. Smell the sea breeze and reminisce about the politics that must have been discussed in this former Senators home. Entertain in the formal dining room under the crystal chandelier or relax and read a book on one of the balconies overlooking the harbor. The Blue line (T)(public trans) is only two blocks away and offers a ride to the airport station and free shuttle bus to your terminal, a few more stops and you are downtown for world class shopping, restaurants, museums and the Swan boats ride.

Grand house in a great Boston location

When we were planning our trip, Nelson was extremely prompt at responding to my queries and made the whole booking process very easy. After a busy, full on week in New York we travelled up to Boston by Amtrak and met Nelson and Madeline who gave us a tour of their lovely house. Our first impressions were of a grand, beautiful home that has been gracefully brought into the 21st century - air con throughout and Wi-Fi internet (an essential for two teenagers). The house has some great history and the rooms are large with exceptional, period décor - really giving the sense of being in the shoes of the senator that built it. Everything that we needed during our stay was catered for - enabling us to prepare meals and eat them in the splendour of the dining room. The house is located in a safe quiet area overlooking the seafront, with views of the airport - watching the planes come and go was fascinating! We breakfasted on the veranda most mornings - soaking up the early morning sunshine whilst consuming Dunkin Donuts and hot chocolate (how we miss that now we are back in the UK). In the evening you can watch downtown Boston and the airport light up as it gets dark. Boston was easily accessed using the subway - the station was a 5 minute walk and the subway ride another 10 minutes into the city centre. We walked the Freedom Trail, visited Harvard and MIT - having a car was useful, enabling us to venture further afield to go shopping at Wrentham Premium Outlets (great prices despite exchange rate) and whale watching from Gloucester (Seven Seas Whale Watching is highly recommended). We would highly recommend Nelson and Madeline's home and thank them for their kind hospitality.

Fantastic property with wonderful views

We were on a trip from the UK and stayed here with another family, 8 of us in total. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax and we really enjoyed relaxing on the veranda in the evening, with the wonderful views of the bay, Boston skyline and Logan Airport. The house was equipped with all the facilities we could ask for and plenty of local area information and history was also available. The house is located a short walk from Orient Heights MBTA stop which allowed quick access to all Boston has to offer. I'd also like to thank Nelson for his polite and helpful communication during the booking process and for the tips given on our arrival. Should we ever come back to Boston we would love to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Beautiful house in a great location. It is the best equipped and furnished house we have stayed in. Description and other details listing was accurate - if anything they don't convey the full character which is impressive. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Boston.

OUR WONDERFUL BOSTON HOLIDAY.

I realised on seeing the house on the internet that it was a beautiful and somewhat different house than normal, and I was so right. Although stately it was a warm welcoming home, roomy, light with beautiful furnishings. The beds were very comfotable which is so important to someone like myself who suffers with back problems. The amenities were numerous, from kitchen to cayaks. I could go on forever, watching the planes, the easiness of getting around Boston. Our party consisted of Irish, English and Welsh, and were all agreed that it was one of the best holidays we'd had. Thank you Nelson for all your kindness and thank you Bostonians for your friendliness and helpfulness. Margaret the little old lady from the vallies.

Long Weekend in Boston

Our family loved watching planes take off from the airport and the location to the Orient Heights station was great for accessing the city. Nelson and Madeline were great host and very welcoming.

Why they chose this property

We are close to all that Boston has to offer, either by car or public transportation.

What makes this property unique

The sheer size and location on Boston Harbor was one of the most attractive features that lured us to purchase the Villa. It's ease to public transportation connecting all the city has to offer without the need of a car, was a real game changer. The view from the sun porch and in the summer months having a glass of wine on the upper balcony is delightful while watching the planes come and go. It is similar to an orchestrated symphony.
