Wedding Weekend

My girlfriend and I along with a group of my friends were in town for a wedding in Marblehead and this was a perfect location. Walking distant from most things on the island and the home had everything we needed.

The house is cozy and well located. 2 Bedrooms and 1 bath.....not the best for 6 people (my husband made the reservation). amenities were adequate. I would have not chosen this for 6 people. 2 is easy, 4 requires negotiation of the bathroom. Very clean and well maintained

Great spot in Marblehead

We had a fantastic stay here. We are actually neighbors and had an urgent need for quick stay at very short notice and they more than accommodated us. It fit our needs perfectly and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a home while they explore Marblehead and the North Shore

Great place for a Salem Vacation

Just outside of Salem, it truly felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed spending the nights in watching horror movies. Perfect for families.

Charming cottage - great location

We loved our 3 night stay in Marblehead. The property was in excellent condition, the location worked well for our purposes and the home was well equipped with anything one might need for a short stay. We especially appreciate access to a large washer and dryer and the off street parking. The location is very walkable. It was more than I wanted to spend, however I think it was worth the price.

Great spot!

We loved our time on this sweet street and neighborhood. Kitchen and dining room table area are perfect for visiting. Outdoor space with comfy chairs was a bonus. Excellent location for walking and running. We were in Marblehead for an event and had a great time with this homebase that really felt like home.

Delightful Cottage

A sweet, small summer cottage within walking distance of much of Marblehead. The owner has decorated it well, and has provided everything one might need. Excellent communications, except VRBO listing lists various number of bedrooms. There are two bedrooms, one bath.
