Charming, beloved house sleeps 8, with huge deck over pond & close to the ocean

What an amazing holiday! My two grown children, their life partners and children gathered at the Pond House to reconnect and spend a week relaxing in a tranquil environment. From the early morning sunlight peeking in the open windows to the sounds of the ducks and frogs in the evening, we were able to kick back and enjoy family time. Thank you Henry for providing such a clean, comfortable environment to do so! Your home was equipped with anything and everything a family could need during a longer stay.

Again, thank you for your wonderful accommodations and hospitality!

The Pond House was a perfect location for my family to explore Marblehead and day trips to Rockport, Salem, and Boston. Henry makes everything seamless and easy with great response times, etc. Walk around the local neighborhood and enjoy the beautiful homes and access to the water front. We enjoyed our stay at the Pond House - That being said the home needs some TLC (kitchen). The living room furniture is worn and needs replacing. Bottom line, the location is a 5 star and the home isn't, that's why I give it a 4 star rating.

Extended family stayed in the Pond House while attending a graduation at MIT. The "commute" wasn't bad at all, and it was so nice to come back to the peace and quiet of this home each evening. The home had everything we needed. The host was a great communicator -- directions and access were spot on!

You should know there are a multitude of short step staircases. There is also low head clearance in a few areas of the house. We knew this going in, so we weren't surprised and made it work. Our elderly parents were able to negotiate the steps without much difficulty.

I'd love to come again and spend more time on the deck! Loved the ducks, turtles, and serenity.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Pond Cottage. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was very helpful in answering all of our questions before we arrived and while we were there. I would highly recommend a stay at The Pond Cottage. There were so many fun and interesting things to do and see in the area. Thanks for a great trip!

Just got my family together from Florida and Virginia for an early holiday trip to Boston to see extended family. The place was warm in spite of the cold and snowfall. The wood stove was not only useful for heat but really set the mood with hot chocolate while watching the snow falling on the pond and deck. The well appointed kitchen had everything we needed to make some holiday treats and cook for the six adults. The granddaughter loved feeding the ducks on the pond and made her first snowman. I highly recommend the Pond House for your next vacation.

Our stay at the pond house was very nice. It was a great location and close to other cities in Massachusetts. The house was charming and we felt right at home. Henry and his neighbors were very friendly and helpful.
