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: 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.

Base rate is for two guests. "Extra guest" charge is $50/night for each guest in addition to the first two.

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.

Great location and home
The home is spacious, had everything you need for a nice family stay. Minutes away from the T stop so very easy to access public transport. Off street parking makes for an easy stay.

Property was amazing! Comfortable and centrally located. Myself and 15 yr old explored Boston while Mom (76) stayed in the neighborhood and loved the shops and cafes. Woody is a great host making sure all our needs were met.

Charming home. Fantastic location.
The home was perfect for our group of six family and friends. The location, just a short walk to the T, was perfect. It was also just a short walk to Center Street for food shopping and coffee. The house itself was charming and well provisioned with all the kitchen essentials to cook and dine. We were very pleased with the overall experience.

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.

VERY Nice house
Pauline and Woody were very easy to reach when needed. We didn't get to enjoy it like I would of, too busy visiting city and visiting family in Peabody. If you decide to stay the kitchen is well equipped and there is a great path to walk in morning which I did do and just a relaxing house. There was a total of 6 of us and it accommodated us great. LOVED IT!!

Fun,fun,fun in JP
Woody, we loved the house, the location and JP. It was an easy walk to Centre Street and we had a great dinner at JP’s Seafood. We took the T several times into Boston and it is both user friendly and handicapped accessible. Lyft worked very well, had great drivers and was inexpensive. Nero coffee was very accessible and delicious. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. One older mattress upstairs is lumpy and uncomfortable however house definitely a five star. Thanks for sharing..

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.

Great house in JP - easy access to public transportation
We (6 adults) stayed at this wonderful house the weekend of the 123rd Boston Marathon! Could not have picked a better location at our price point as the neighborhood, Jamaica Plain (JP for us locals) was eclectic and fun yet safe! We were within walking distance to Sam Adams, Turtle Swap Brewing and Doyle's bar. Most importantly the Orange T line was just down the street and got us to anywhere we needed to be. The house is super clean and beautiful with high ceilings and updated kitchen and baths! Wonderful towels and all home items you could possibly need in terms of dishes, soaps, paper products and even blow dryers! Tons of parking if you bring a vehicle though one was not needed with how close we were to the Orange line - even took this to the airport both ways! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect family vacation rental, great location, wonderful owners
We were coming to Boston for a week as a family (2 adults and 3 kids between 10 and 4 yrs), and rather than book a hotel, wanted something with more character and space. Well, we found it. Booking process was fast, communications excellent and immediate, and once booking confirmed an extremely useful package of information about the house as well as Jamaica Plain neighborhood was delivered. What a great and unstressful start. The House itself was perfect for us as a family of 5. Plenty of toilet/showers/bath, comfortable beds with high quality linens, wonderful and plentiful towels, great living space and kitchen.... Wow. Nice extra was plenty of supplies in the kitchen (hardware and essentials like tea coffee and more) and bathrooms (hand soap, shower gel, shampoo), this is such a nice touch and something most rental properties fail on. Ooh, and fast wifi! Location is also great - very quiet house, very close to T, play park with basketball courts 2 minute walk, and lots of interesting and diverse food options just at the top of the street. Thanks to Woody and Pauling for making their hugely comfortable home available, and for getting our family move to Boston off to a great start.

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!

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.
