Our stay here was delightful! It was the perfect location for walking to the historic section of Marblehead, numerous coffee shops, restaurants and museums. Our hosts kindly provided us with suggestions for walks, restaurants and some "must sees". The house was so comfortable and so special with the charm only and older house can give. A great get-away!

We had a wonderful stay in Marblehead. So exciting to stay in a home built in 1725 but has all modern day amenities. We wanted to stay near Salem but ended up spending more time in Marblehead. Great history, views, shops, restaurants and locals. Our home had everything we needed and was very clean. It's walking distance to town and has nice outdoor space too. Highly recommend!!!

Darling home with everything you could need and the owner is very kind and communicative. Marblehead is a lovely little town all by itself, but you can stay there and uber/lyft into Salem and save yourself the hassle of trying to find parking in Salem.

We had such a wonderful weekend in the Marblehead/Salem area, partly due to staying in this beautiful historic home. The home has amazing charm and is in the heart of the historic Marblehead district. We walked everywhere- down to Marblehead Harbor and Fort Sewall, with beautiful shops, bakeries, and restaurants along the way. Also loved that there is a grocery store and ice cream shop nearby too. Salem is a quick 15 min drive which was super convenient. We had one issue, but Denise and Larry were such gracious hosts and it was resolved quickly. What a gift to own this piece of history and their desire to share it is apparent. Would 1000000% recommend.

We had a great stay at this charming historic home. The location was super, right in the middle of town. The staircase to the bedrooms was a little tricky but also added to the historic charm. We’d definitely stay here again!

Old World Living

My wife, sister and I spent a few nights here & the location was really good. The space was clean and had all the amenities with the kitchen and baths updated. The only hiccup was the stairway, they were tight and winding...if you are older, you might find this a problem but we left our larger suitcases downstairs & that worked for us. Larry's communications were super and we were able to find all the best spots to visit & eat.

The home packs a lot into close quarters

The property was beautiful and in the heart of old town Marblehead. Just a block from Abbot Hall with the Spirit of '76 portrait, history flows in every direction. Close to shops, restaurants and the harbor, the location is ideal. While the home photo from the front shows only two floors, the spacious bedrooms and baths are on floors two and three. The hosts were responsive and the home was clean and ready for our arrival.

A Wonderful Home in a Wonderful Town

What a great home! The house was in the perfect location, and we didn’t have to use our car for food, groceries, or to get to local attractions. The house surprised me (in a good way): it was nicely updated but retained much of the old charm. The kids loved the house, and we had no issues with parking in the driveway or in the street. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. Also, the host communicated with me well in advance of our stay and during, including great recommendations which were spot on. I look forward to our next trip to Marblehead, and would stay here again if the hosts would have us.

Relatively New Listing

Owner was nice and got us a pack and play, however the stairs are a nightmare for children. The check in process was horrific with no clear instructions - hope this gets fixed. Area is nice, but the listing lacked a floorplan and clear layout of what was actually there. Kitchen is a bit small to prep meals if your into that. The parking needs to be better suited for renters as the gate is quite narrow while entering. Good stuff is the unit provided everything needed for stay and the place was clean and in a convenient location on a quiet block with friendly people nearby. Good for couple or small group.
