Nothing says “summer in New England,” quite like sprawling out in 90-degree weather with a glass of lemonade by the pool to cool off.
For travelers looking to vacation in the Bay State this summer and enjoy the perks of swimming without getting sand stuck in their shoes, an Airbnb rental that offers a cool pool may be a better option. In some cases, Massachusetts rentals may even offer guests the best of both worlds featuring a pool and an ocean-front view.
Here are some of Airbnb’s highest-rated rentals that offer “amazing pools” in Massachusetts.
