Convenient location

Had a great experience with our house and host. Wakefield is such an awesome little town. We walked by the lake and downtown to shop and eat. It was within a 30 min drive to all of our day trips we took, and the convenience of the train station we took into Boston was great.
Sunset on the lake.

Home away from home

We spent the entire month of July here. Yanti was a gracious host and our ground-floor apartment was comfortable and the entire house, including the kitchen, was equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. Yanti is a great communicator and the check-in process couldn’t have been easier.

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay and location is perfect for what we needed. The only little downside perhaps are the noise the dog makes early in the morning that wakes us up. But overall it was a fantastic place.

Wakefield Welcome

The VRBO neighborhood is quiet, safe & conveniently located to a Shaws supermarket, pharmacy & several good restaurants. The VRBO home is very comfortable and welcoming. The beds are comfy. The VRBO house has an older home charm. The VRBO host has the home clean & all necessities stocked.

Perfect stay in Wakefield

We have family here in Wakefield, so visit often. Yanti’s property is by far the nicest property we have stayed in here..and we will definitely be repeat customers! The apartment was very clean, and had everything we needed. Yanti was very accommodating; we checked in very late and she was kind enough to make up the sofa bed for us. Main Street is just a few minutes walk away, and has great restaurants, coffee shops and grocery options.

Wonderful Property In Wakefield

Our family of four had a great time at this property. Everything we needed was provided. The space was clean and comfortable. The location provided a nice easy walk to downtown and just a short drive to neighboring towns. 10 minute walk to the train that takes you to Boston. 5 stars! Will definitley be back!

Charming and Comfortable

Yanti has put a lot of thought and energy in ensuring this house is inviting and comfortable for guests. The house and surrounding area has lots of New England charm. The fenced backyard is perfect for families with pets or to simply enjoy the outdoors. We spent a lot of time exploring Cambridge and Boston, so the Wakefield location was great for our family. The location of the house is great since we were able to walk to stores, restaurants, and the lake. We interacted with several locals, and they were friendly. We honestly felt all the comforts of home during our stay.

The best VRBO on the planet!

My wife and I have stayed at many VRBO properties at this one is by far the most superior we’ve ever stayed at. Everything is perfect.! It’s a beautiful town, the furnishings are beautiful, the host has thought about absolutely everything you could possibly imagine. I can’t put into words what a beautiful rental of us is. You have to experience it on your own. It is very clear why this is a five star across-the-board property, bravo two Rifiyanti!

Amazing!

Can't thank Yanti enough for the perfect stay. The house is located minutes away from Boston and Salem - we were able to see all the sites as well as visit the gorgeous area we were staying in. Picture perfect town. The house was well stocked, clean and comfortable. Coffee, cream, ice - everything you need. Yanti's 2 pups were adorable and made me miss my pups a little less! Cant recommend staying here enough. A++++ for everything.

Very nice appartment with easy access to Boston

We had a nice stay in the appartment for one week. The appartment is equipped with two double bed rooms and a sofa in the living room. Unfortunatly the bed in the kids bedroom is pretty narrow (130cm) and it is not easy to sleep there with two persons but since we were only 4 one could sleep in the living room and that was okay for us. Other then that, the appartment has everything needed for a family stay. Thanks a lot

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

This was the cutest duplex! It was an older house with updates. However with the updates they maintained the character. And that made it more homey!! We had a family game night and really enjoyed the amenities especially the coffee and tea room. Yes, there was a whole room with coffees teas, dishes, rice cooker, etc.

Excellent property and location

I hesitated to book this apartment because it was a brand new listing and didn't have reviews yet. I'm glad I took the chance because the property is beautiful, well located for a trip to the Boston area and the host was responsive and friendly. The apartment was so well stocked it felt like home. It's a 2 minute walk to the lake for kayaking and a short drive to popular New England spots. I would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you to our host :)
