About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Airy new apt for 2-6. Off-street parking. Walk to shops/restaurants/subway/bus

Please note: November 2-5, 2024 and April 4-7, 2025 only the upstairs apartment will be available. Max 4 guests those 3 nights on two twin beds and fold-out sofa. Another guest has already booked the downstairs bedroom.

Our sparkling new addition includes two entirely separate and private spaces connected by a set of stairs and sharing a common foyer.

Downstairs: Accessed directly from the mudroom, a large queen bedroom with armoire, full mirror, full bath, mini-fridge, microwave and electric teapot for boiling water. Keyless entry is via personal code.

Upstairs: living room, twin bedroom, fold-out queen couch, full kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher, 1.5 baths.

The apartment is attached to our house. We built it in 2021 for Pauline's parents, so it includes all the comforts of home, including individual A/C and heating units, high-speed internet, and skylights with remotely controlled shades. Ceilings are high and there is lots of natural light.

The mudroom/ entrance is a shared space and our access to our washer dryer in the basement.

We do whatever it takes to keep this welcoming, spacious apartment well-maintained and sparkling clean. We’ve decorated and equipped it as if for our own use, with hi-speed WI-FI, mini-split A/C and heat, plenty of kitchen tools, fluffy towels and crisp sheets. There is a Pak'n'Play crib and a high chair available if you need one; there's a children's playground about 100 yards down the street.

Jamaica Plain is a hip neighborhood of Boston. All its charming shops, cafés, pubs and diverse restaurants are within easy walking distance of the house; nearby too there are bakeries, a brewery, a library, running and bike paths, parks, Jamaica Pond (actually a 68-acre lake), and Harvard University’s Arboretum, a 280-acre natural preserve and botanical research center in the heart of the city.
You’ll feel perfectly comfortable and at home as you head out from this quiet oasis to explore one of the world’s most interesting cities!

A car is not necessary to enjoy all the great city of Boston has to offer, but if you drive there is free, off-street parking for two cars.

The Green Street stop on the Orange Line of Boston's subway system (we call it the 'T') is just a block away. And bus line #39, a 6-minute walk up the street, will take you to the Longwood Medical area, the Museum of Fine Arts, Copley Square, the Boston Public Garden and Faneuil Hall.

Or you can rent a city bicycle either on Center Street or at the “T” station and ride all the way to Back Bay along the Southwest Corridor biking path and jogging park.

Jamaica plains delight!
This is a great property with room for a group or family. A charming neighborhood with fun shopping and a variety of restaurants; easy access to public transportation downtown. Day tripping to sites outside of Boston was relatively easy. The stairs might be a challenge for people with mobility issues. Otherwise would give it 5 stars.

Fantastic Vacation Rental
This is a fantastic property! It is steps away from easy to take public transportation that will take you any where in Boston. The neighborhood is charming and has nice restaurants and parks nearby. This property is very welcoming, comfortable and very clean. It has all the amenities - hair dryer, iron, washer/dryer, stove, and a very nice coffee pot. The beds are comfortable and the living area is relaxing. Nice to have a bedroom and a bath and half upstairs and a full bedroom/bath downstairs. The owners were extremely helpful. They were welcoming but also private and unintrusive. This property is connected to a house, but it feels very private. I highly recommend this propery and will stay there again, if I get the opportunity to return to Boston.

Wonderful Visit to Boston
We couldn’t have been happier with this property. We took an Uber in to the city while we were able to park the car we had driven off street at the house during our stay. The house is a charming mix of old (as it is beautifully furnished with some antique pieces) and new (as it is well outfitted with modern conveniences). Woody was friendly and available for questions throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this VRBO.

simultaneously practical and beautiful
nice large house, generously equipped, beautifully but unpretentiously furnished and decorated - a block from the T and 15-20 minutes from downtown Boston (depending where you're headed), and a half-dozen or more restaurants within a 7 minute walk. Just perfect.

Great house in an excellent location
We had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Jamaica Plain house. The house itself is beautiful, as pictured, and in a very nice neighborhood with many amenities nearby. The orange line T stop is super close which makes this house a really great location for visitors who want to utilize public transportation. Woody was very accommodating and easy to communicate with via email. My only comments that might be helpful to future travelers are really unrelated to the property: - The orange line downtown stations are closed during weekends for construction this fall. This adds time to travel but can be worked around by getting off at Back Bay and walking a couple blocks to the Green Line at Copley station (and these entries are free during these closures). Luckily we saw this bulletin before our trip and it wasn't a big impact! - There are numerous great restaurants near the house (many included on the very useful list provided by Woody) but be aware that many are cash only. We found this to be common in Boston and is almost unheard of here in Houston. Again, it wasn't a big issue but nice to prepare for. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Boston!

Beautiful home with very unique antiques yet up to date kitchen and bathrooms made it very comfortable! Close to the subway, and local restaurants are within walking distance. Neighbors are friendly. Steep stairs to bedrooms on second level. Due to the many antiques, we would suggest adults only.

Beautiful, clean and spacious house in Jamaica Plain. 5 minute walk to the convenient T line which gives easy access to downtown Boston. Owner was very responsive. House was as advertised. Loved having 2.5 bathrooms for four people. This was the perfect house for a girls’ get away. I would highly recommend this property.! Thank you Woody and Pauline.

Brilliant stay in lovely Jamaica Plain
The property was extremely comfortable and it was a great base close to the T station at Green Street, so we had great access to all we wanted to see in Boston from North End, Beacon Street, Boston Common, to a Red Sox game in Fenway Park. In Jamaica Plain, we had great breakfasts in Evergreen and a lovely dinner in Vee Bee. Loved it all. Woody was a great responsive straightforward host.

This home was perfect for our long weekend in Boston. Having somewhere to stay that is comfortable for my in-laws is a priority when finding a home. The decor was perfect as well as all the amenities to meet our needs. We enjoyed the neighborhood feel of Jamaica Plain with its nearby pond to it’s restaurants.
