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

My nieces and I came into town for the festivities in Salem the weekend before Halloween. Henry was so accommodating, he was unbelievable. He helps us out in more ways than I can say. The property at this time of year is unbalievable beautiful. The house was perfect for the 6 of us. Thanks again Henry for everything.

I’m going to write the cons first so I can leave this review on a good note:

TV’s are outdated. Couldn’t watch our Netflix, Hulu, etc.

There needs to be better pathway lighting to the home at night. Scary dark!

We stayed Sunday through Wednesday and there were leaf blowers every morning. Don’t expect to sleep in those days.

The pros:

The owner is a very nice man who lives next door. He agreed about all the issues and will work on them.

He left us a bottle of wine.

The beds are super comfortable.

The house is really cute and clean.

I would have given 5 stars but I think 4 is fair until those issues are taken care of. Regardless, we really enjoyed our stay.

What a fantastic home this is. Full of character and in a beautiful area. It was an absolute pleasure to stay here - we didn't want to leave. All towels, bedding, cleaning products provided. Hairdryer, iron, washer dryer etc. Couldn't fault it. We would come back in a heart beat!

Recently stayed here for a girls weekend. The house is very charming with character.

Henry was very easy to work with and the instruction booklet in the house was super helpful! The view from the deck is gorgeous! I would imagine in the warmer months it would be a great place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee. We enjoyed exploring Marblehead and Salem.

We stayed at the Pond House for our son's wedding in the area. The location was great as it was in between the ceremony and reception. It was our home base for our family and found everything we needed. Henry was very responsive and we appreciated the relaxation we had in between numerous planned events throughout the long weekend. The house was a welcome respite. Thank you! The Clancy Family

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!
