Loved this place! Excellent location. The host was so sweet and gave awesome recommendations for the area. Their attention to detail for making our stay as comfortable as possible was unmatched. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to Marblehead.
The cutest little cottage! Francie was amazing to work with and you can tell they care about your stay! The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It’s only a 20-25 uber ride into the heart of Salem if you don’t want to drive. I will definitely save this as a must return property!
Perfect Sweet. Well appointed. Equipped with everything needed. Ideal location to walk, shop, surf and sun. Easy access to Salem and Boston with many sites to see. And wonderful hosts! You won't be disappointed.
Overall everything exceeded our expectations from the warm greeting we received when we arrived, the darling well appointed accommodation and fabulous location. We hope to return!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the sweet! Francie and her husband were incredibly kind and accommodating! The space was clean and cozy and in the perfect location for exploring Marblehead and nearby Salem. We will definitely be back!
Charming private townhouse in beautiful Marblehead, Ma.
Warm, welcoming, beautifully decorated, everything needed for a relaxing visit. Francie and Bob are wonderful, affable hosts. They are truly attentive to every little detail, especially if you're celebrating a special occasion!The neighborhood is charming and quiet but within a few minutes drive to several affordable and delicious restaurants. This was our second visit, can't wait to return!
We couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Francie and Bob treated us as if we knew each other forever. The house is very clean and cozy. Plus it’s only a short little ride to Salem. Will definitely be booking here again in the future.
This place was just so lovely! Francie had everything we needed and more, such a wonderful host. It was great for our trip to Salem (about 15 minute drive away), and it was nice to get away from the craziness at the end of the day. We also got some time in the lovely town of Marblehead. The harbor was just down the street, and such a beautiful view! This place was perfect, would absolutely stay here again!
A great property. Hosts of have thought of everything. Beautiful spot with plenty of space. Great location. Host really responsive.
Highly recommend if you are looking for a stand alone structure.
Beautiful. The “cottage”was perfect and the location couldn’t be better for us. We were able to easily get around the North Shore to visit family and friends, and yet have a lovely spot to relax after busy days. Marblehead is a wonderful place to stay with lots of little parks to explore and many restaurants to choose from You won’t be disappointed.
Francie and Bob were amazing hosts. You can see the love and detail they have put into the Chestnut sweet. Everything you could possibly need they have thought of. We enjoyed talking with them and loved their restaurant recommendations. We loved the location and would definitely stay again.
We stayed at this lovely little home for a full month a year ago. We stayed another 8 nights this time. You just cannot beat this property or the hosts! Our previous stay was in the summertime. This stay was over Thanksgiving and some cold weather. The Sweet has the greatest fireplace that quickly warms you and creates the coziest atmosphere. We loved it and you will too. We highly recommend the Sweet!
This was the ideal place for us to spend our long Labor Day weekend visiting Marblehead and Salem! Francie was beyond welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The place was cozy and clean and the extra special touches made us really feel at home. We had 3 adults and it fit us perfectly. The location was top notch with the ocean right at the end of the street. I can’t recommend this place enough!
We genuinely had the best experience we've ever had with staying at a rental property. Francie and Bob are lovely people. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay we could have possibly had. We were greeted with a basket of goodies, fruit, muffins, and some of the most comfortable robes we've ever worn.The property is exactly as described and is a great utilization of the space. Francie and Bob made themselves readily available to help with everything. I would highly recommend a stay here
Chestnut Sweet exceeded our expectations. Couldn’t have asked for a better location for exploring the nearby towns, such as Salem, Ipswich, Gloucester, and even the big city of Boston. At the end of the day, it was always so nice to come back to such a relaxing and welcoming vacation home. Francie and Bob are such lovely people. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
