Clean, Cozy and Comfortable Apartment in Quincy
I stayed here with my husband and toddler for a family wedding and we were very comfortable. The owners left snacks, pelogrino, coffee, creamer and even a pack and play for my toddler. The kitchen is fully stocked and it’s clear that the owners care very much about their guests’ experience. This was the most thoughtful and well appointed rental we’ve ever stayed in.

Great stay!
Our family had a great stay at Todd & Bobbi’s home. The home was clean, very conveniently located close to Quincy’s restaurants and historic sites, and being a short T ride or drive into Boston . It was a great home base to visit family in the area and go out for family excursions. We would definitely love to stay there again in the future.

Wonderful time in Quincy
The property was great for our family. The neighborhood was very quiet and well kept. We had 4 adults and managed very well. The enclosed deck was great for breakfast and any other meals we ate at the property. Being 5 minutes from the North Quincy T station was very handy getting into the city. $5 all day parking! We did walk one day and it was not bad at all, but it was nice to have a car at the station after spending the day in the city. It was also easy to get out to Cape Cod and all things East. The hosts were wonderful, very responsive and accomadating to our needs. Thank you!

It was a very clean and delightful place. The kitchen was stocked although we didn’t use it as much as I might have if it was a regular vacation instead of an anniversary trip. I would have liked to have known that it was upstairs but otherwise it was great!

Very cute beach-themed house!
Very impressed with our experience! This was our first-ever stay in a Vrbo-like property and it’s cozier than a hotel by far! We briefly stayed at a big-name hotel before coming to Quincy and to be honest, I’ll likely book with this property again next year for our whole stay. The owners are super nice, accommodating, and even left a super cute welcoming note for us! Everything was clean, cutely arranged and fully stocked. They go above and beyond here! If you’re looking for home away from home, this is THE place to stay.

This place was exactly as listed - it's a gorgeous two bedroom unit, the beds are super comfortable, and the host was very communicative and even set up the travel crib for us and got out toys for my friends two year old son. Will definitely stay here again! It was fantastic.

Beautiful quiet getaway
My partner and I had a wonderful time staying here! Todd and Bobbi were very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Community is quiet but it’s a close enough drive to the city in case you wanted to go out and explore. Local dining was also excellent with lots of beautiful parks and trails nearby. Highly recommend staying here if given the chance!

Amazing Trip to the Boston Area
This was a great trip enhanced by Todd and Bobbi. Their house is a perfect spot just outside of the city, a short drive to downtown. We drove to Cape Cod, up to Salem, and other areas as well. The two bedroom was perfect for our family of 4. Plenty of space for our boys (11 & 8). I loved the coffee each morning that was provided in the HUGE kitchen. We will definitely be booking here on our next trip to Boston.

Property was very clean and nicely appointed. The flight of stairs leading up to the home was fine for our group, but would not do for a person with limited mobility. Neighborhood is quiet and the "T" is within walking distance, giving easy access to Boston.

This cozy house became our Boston Basecamp, a safe home away from home as we prepared for some adventures a little farther afield. This was the first time since the pandemic that we were able to VRBO and it was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

Comfortable apartment + great location + fantastic hosts
Absolutely fantastic experience staying in this lovey Quincy apartment. Plenty spacious with a great kitchen, two large bedrooms (each with hotel-quality king size beds), and a bathroom that has the PERFECT shower pressure. The living room and 3-season room were also great. Our hosts had homemade ginger cookies waiting for us when we checked in, as well as a warm welcome note. We have close friends very nearby and have recommended this rental to them and any future visitors they may have. Cannot wait to make the trip back up and stay in this great unit again. Thanks for everything!
