We've have stayed in three other places in Marblehead and this one is by far the best. Nicely appointed, great location and wonderful hosts. Looking forward to our next visit.
The owner super nice the place is beautiful located it has everything you need to make meals there more than enough pillows blankets towels. Was a great time being there from October 26th to November 3rd.
It was absolutely fantastic! Perfect location, wonderful apartment. I absolutely loved the historic charm. The town was like a scene in a hallmark Christmas movie. The hosts were wonderful. Best VRBO yet (and I’ve stayed in many!) highly recommended :)
We loved staying in the heart of historic Marblehead! Everything was so nearby - the shopping, the French pastries, the beaches, the history! The location couldn't be beat! The hosts were the best - so very helpful every time we reached out for anything! They were always a joy to communicate with! The price was quite reasonable. The home had everything we needed and the kitchen was very well stocked with tools and appliances. For those of us from the sprawling suburbs of the Midwest where we live in new homes built to code, this quaint historic home took a little getting used to (i.e. the floor boards of living room are just an inch or so lower than the kitchen), but truly that just made the experience more authentic! We can't wait to be back!
We’ve been coming to Marblehead for the 4th for years and this was by far the best accommodations we’ve had. Location is in the heart of all the festivities and the place was great. We’ll be back.
Awesome apartment in the heart of Marblehead. Walk to restaurants, shops, waterfront just steps away.Owner was extremely helpful. Can’t wait to return.
This condo is in a perfect location for walking, shopping and dining out. It was very clean and comfortable for the three of us. We absolutely loved our stay here! Thanks, Patricia!
We very much enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. Pat was very responsive to any questions and the home was very clean. There was everything you would need in the kitchen and lots of additional bedding and towels if needed. We felt very comfortable during our week long stay. Marblehead is a very beautiful town and we all highly recommend it.
Historic Property with All Contemporary Conveniences
Superb property (formerly the Marblehead Savings Bank) located in the town's historic center. The two-story space has been thoughtfully and tastefully laid out with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living-dining area.
Great location located within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The description and pictures are accurate. The place was clean and comfortable. Checking in and out was easy. It was easy to communicate with Patricia. We really enjoyed our stay.
Very clean, spacious apartment with all the amenities conveniently located to all the sites along the North Shore. Cute, safe neighborhood with lots of shops, restaurants and a movie theater in walking distance. Pat and Jeff were extremely nice hosts, let us stay past check-out and even gave my friend a ride to the airport. Highly recommended!
This property amazed us--we can't say enough good things!
The apartment was clean and provided every convenience. The location was on the main thoroughfare of shops.
The hosts were welcoming and generous. Their home is next door and on the historic register. Their backyard garden is gorgeous!
And what fun to take the short walk to Mookie's coffee shop each morning.
One caveat--steep steps.
The house is beautiful very well decorated. The host is so kind and incredibly helpful. We had no issues checking in or out. The main floor room had a tv as well as the top floor. Top floor is open no door so we were able to talk to each other from both levels. The entire neighborhood is so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!
I cannot say enough good things about this place and the owner. First, the communication with the owner was wonderful. Second, the place was spotless. I mean above and beyond clean, whoever housekeeping is should get a raise! The place itself was incredibly beautiful and we loved having two bathrooms and a full kitchen. At first I was disappointed we couldn’t stay in Salem but upon arrival I realized Marblehead is what I expected Salem to be like. We enjoyed Marblehead more than Salem most days we were there. The location felt incredibly safe as well. It was more than enough room for 6 adults without feeling cramped. Definitely hope to stay again!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property in Marblehead, MA. The host was incredibly kind, with great communication throughout our stay. They even provided us with fantastic tips on places to eat, which made our experience even better.
The property itself was perfect—an excellent location just steps away from charming boutiques, a cozy cafe, a delightful toy store, and the picturesque coastline. The town of Marblehead is quaint, quiet, and peaceful, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle.
The beds were so comfortable that we slept incredibly well the entire time. Additionally, the property’s proximity to Salem is a huge plus. If you have a car, it’s a short drive, but we recommend taking a quick Uber to avoid parking, especially in October.
Overall, we highly recommend this property and would certainly book again. 10/10!
This is one of the best rentals i have ever used! The house was clean and stocked for us to cook, with extra supplies like toilet paper, soaps, trash bags, and other essentials. The manager was super kind and made our stay very enjoyable! We had our wedding here and she allowed us to use her yard and chairs for pictures before we went to the site. Highly recommended if you are visiting Salem or the surrounding areas! If i ever get a chance to go back this will be the first place I look up. Forget a hotel, go here instead! The prices are much moe reasonable ans its only 15 minus from downtown salem, about 45 from the Airport in Boston. We also had the chance to explore Marblehead which was a delight on its own. I cant stress enough that this is an amazing place to stay!
We had a very nice stay at the property in Marblehead. It is located very centrally in the historic district, easy to navigate, and very comfortable. Thank you again!
This nicely renovated rental puts you in the heart of historic and beautiful Marblehead where you can live like a local, walk to shops, restaurants and the harbor to watch the days catch come in. Was also a close drive to Boston and other great New England towns for trips and sight seeing. The entire area is gorgeous and feels like you stepped onto a movie location. The owner is wonderful and treats you like a friend coming to stay at her lovely seaside home. The space has historic charm and updated conveniences. A real gem. We are looking forward to going back!
Pat is great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. The location was perfect for visiting Salem, Gloucester, Rockport and Boston. The accommodations are comfortable and had everything we needed for the week. Marblehead is a cute town. The condo is in the middle of town and walking distance to places to eat and shop. We recommend eating breakfast at Driftwood.
