Fabulous location, charming historical home. The street parking is generous and you should have no problems finding parking. We had a memorable dinner down the street at Five Corners Kitchen, didn’t even have to drive since it’s a five minute walk. Landlord was very friendly and extremely responsive. Wonderful stay!

Beautiful property and location

Stayed here with my mom and 7 year old daughter. It was a quick Uber into Salem, which we explored for 3 days of our stay. Our last day we spent in Marblehead. We absolutely loved the town. The property is walking distance to restaurants, coffee, and a grocery store. The house has so much character, we felt like we really got to experience a part of the history.

We were so pleased with everything! The house is in a historic area with beautiful scenery. We loved the way the house was preserved with so many original features, but also very comfortable with a full kitchen and accessories. The owner is super friendly helpful. We have absolutely no complaints!! Worth every penny we spent to stay there!!

Amazing Halloween week

The four of us stayed here for the week of Halloween. The close distance to Salem along with the short walk to plenty of shops in downtown Marblehead made it the perfect location. John was very helpful and made for an easy check in and check out. The house was amazing, with plenty of room for four people to move around comfortably and well equipped for the breakfasts we cooked and the chicken we grilled. I would definitely recommend staying here.

I was visiting town with family and have lots of family in town. The house is perfectly situated next to Abbot Hall steps from both old town as well as the downtown shops and restaurants. Parking was easy, check in was easy and the house had everything we could need. It also had several charming outdoor spaces for coffee or reading. Thank you John for your kind thoughtful hospitality

Great Location in Charming Town

The home is comfortable with plenty of space and situated in the historic district. It was an easy walk to shopping, dining and waterfront. The locals were friendly and helpful. Location is convenient to Salem. As mentioned, the upstairs shower is challenging, but downstairs shower worked better for some of us. John was helpful and responsive when I had questions. We really enjoyed our stay.

The house is cozy and the bed was comfortable. The location is great. It was a short drive to Salem. The commuter rail from Salem to Boston is easy and did not take too long. John is an excellent communicator, and check-in was easy. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay in Marblehead

My family had a wonderful time in Marblehead. There was plenty of space to entertain or stretch out for an extended stay and the bedrooms were large and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and space in the fridge. It is an excellent location close to downtown and everything is walkable. Bathing was slightly difficult because the tub was an old clawfoot with an attached showerhead that was a bit temperamental, but we mase it work with a family of 4. We would definitely recommend.

Fabulous

We've used Vrbo for stays before and the pictures are usually nice but the house doesn’t live up for some reason but that is not the case here. It is so much better in person! It's age absolutely shines and it so much bigger than the pictures look! The location is perfect for quick walks to downtown or around the beautiful historic homes. Will definitely look to see if this home is available when we plan to visit the area again!!
