Amazing property in the heart of it all

We are long time visitors of Marblehead and this has been one of, if not the best place we’ve stayed so far. The property was well appointed from the kitchen all the way to linens. A great central home that you will love!

Beautiful clean home however some difficulties including difficulty with locking/unlocking doors with codes, sensitive fire alarm went off easily and host was not responsive in a timely fashion. Quiet hours are very strict and host lives above VRBO property. Otherwise clean home, pictures as listed and great location nearby Marblehead.

My family and I stayed here while attending a wedding in Boston. The home itself was fine, but unfortunately the host made us feel very unwelcome. We had a service dog, and despite cleaning up after him every time, the host told us he was not allowed in the backyard because her dog was taking longer to use the bathroom bc it could smell our dog. She even threatened to remove us if she saw him outside again, and attempted to charge an extra fee after our stay, which showed a severe lack of ADA protections.The backyard was also often unavailable in the evenings due to the host using it with friends. With 4 adults, and three small children, the house is tight and not particularly kid-friendly. The first-floor bedroom had a very uncomfortable spring mattress, and both bathrooms were located on the first floor (none on the lower level). Parking was inconsistent—sometimes available nearby, but at worst down the street.Overall, while the home had potential, the experience was extremely disappointing due to the host’s restrictions, rude demeanor and lack of hospitality.
