About this property

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

Come stay in our refurbished four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, house on a quiet, beautiful private way in Marblehead, MA. You can sip cocktails on the deck overlooking the pond as the sun sets while your children feed the ducks and play with the turtles, frogs and fish of the pond.

You can stroll to the private rocky beach a short five minute walk away or drive 5 minutes to the sandy town beach where you can enjoy chowder and a lobster while your children build sandcastles or play on the playground equipment.

In addition to all Marblehead has to offer, we are minutes from downtown Salem, the "Witch City", home of the renowned Peabody Essex museum, and site of month-long celebrations in October leading up to Halloween.

Marblehead is a short 40 minute drive to Boston where you can stroll Newbury St., visit Faneuil Hall, or visit Fenway Park.

Our stay here was amazing! The house was cozy and fit us all comfortably. We loved the patio and pond and just overall felt very at home there. The best part though is the host. Henry was extremely kind and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and fun as possible. We were all so appreciative of his kindness!

Your home is lovely and we felt so comfortable as a family. It certainly added to the frame of mind which was celebration. The problem for the weekend was the weather. We were not able to enjoy the patio in the surroundings of the home due to the inclement weather, which it truly was thank you again for giving us an extra night day due to one of the grandmother’s sickness. It was truly appreciated. we will be back.

TYPO/MISTAKE!!!! : ) As you can see, the title of this review is "Lovely," and the review states "Enjoyed our stay." This guest indicated that she meant to leave a star rating reflecting those words, but so far hasn't gotten around to it. Please consider all the reviews left for this property over many years of hosting.

Adorable home in a quiet neighborhood! Deck overlooks a pond with ducks and there’s a rocky beach about a 5 minutes’ walk away. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Plus, the host was very prompt with replies and super accommodating. Highly recommend!

Great spot!

We had a great time spending the 4th of July weekend with friends and family. The large porch made a great gathering spot. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. We were worried about not having ac but with the windows open, a nice ocean breeze and the provided fans we were fine.
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 8, 2025
Super! Good to see guests doing fine without ac (air conditioning). If you are a person who *needs* air conditioning, best to look elsewhere. However, most folks (like these) do fine using fans, etc., should there be a heat wave.
