About this property

A True Old Town Experience

Enjoy a true Old Town experience at this charming two bedroom apartment steps from Abbot Hall, Crocker Park, beautiful beaches, and the best shops and restaurants downtown Marblehead has to offer. Situated on the second floor above a jewelry shop, this cozy hideaway was inspired by Marblehead's nautical history, while still retaining all the modern conveniences today's travelers desire.

The space
Guests will enter through a private walkway along the side of the building and up the steps leading to a deck and beautiful patio. Inside, the entry area doubles as a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer, in case you need to dry beach towels or bathing suits after a day on the water. This leads to the main living space with an open kitchen. Though the living area may be small, the vaulted shiplap ceilings make the space feel open and airy. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book or watch a movie on a rainy day. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need for meals during your stay and includes a peninsula for dining in. Take your pick from the lobster bedroom offering a queen bed or the sailboat bedroom with a full bed. Treat yourself to a bath in the antique clawfoot tub or take a quick shower to wash away the salt and sand. There's even a spacious patio perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun. Decorated in a playful red, white, and blue color scheme, this quaint apartment offers the quintessential Marblehead experience for those looking to live like a local during their stay.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

This property was an absolute gem and a perfect place for our family of three to stay for a few days of exploring Marblehead, Salem, and Boston. Everything in the home was exactly as pictured and spotless clean. The decor was beautiful and intentional and gave such a calm, crisp seaside vibe. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linens were provided (extra towels, washcloths, etc.). The location was awesome and in walking distance of many delicious restaurants, cute local shops, and historical sights. We loved all of the historic homes and beautiful flowers along Washington Street. It was a quick Uber ride to Salem, and we took the commuter train into Boston one day as well which was quite straightforward. We loved our stay in Marblehead and 100% recommend this property. It’s one of the best vacation rental properties we’ve ever stayed in!

Beautiful historic New England Town

This is a gorgeous place to stay. It was beautifully decorated and the owners thought of every detail that would make our stay comfortable. They left recommendations for places to eat and shop, and they were all excellent choices. There are many places within walking distance, and Salem was just a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet, and there is parking on the street right at the entrance to the apartment.

This is the cutest property!!! The photos do not do the property justice! It was clean, had everything we needed, location made it easy to walk to anywhere we wanted. We even took a short 20 min walk to the beach. We came in to check out salem which was a short 15 drive. Lindsay and Elizabeth were quick to respond to any questions we had. This was a wonderful stay. Can't say enough good things about our stay!

Very Nice VRBO

It was very nice, clean and great location. We were a little apprehensive about the tub/shower. It is very cute, but might be hard for someone to get in and out of. This would definitely be a 5 star, but giving it a 4.5 because of the tub/shower.

Marblehead Themed Get Away Just Perfect In Every Way!

Every detail was noticed and appreciated. The decor was iconic Marblehead and adorable for a long romantic weekend or vacation stay. Lots of amenities --from a steam iron to use on our wedding attire to cooking/fresh linens/laundry/and extra towels. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay --so close to walk to everything! We will enthusiastically return! Stowaway treats we had at our wedding 33 years ago! Just perfect in every way! I've shared the website to many others hosting upcoming yacht club weddings. -Catharine
