About Marblehead
Founded in 1629, Marblehead was a crucial fishing port during the American Revolution; much of its history can be discovered by navigating through the colorful, narrow streets of Old Town. Like an open-air museum, Marblehead flaunts its history not only in its well-preserved 18th-century houses and architecture, national historic landmarks and local shops are sprinkled throughout the town.

After meandering amongst the quaint Colonial houses, take a tour through Marblehead Neck, which leads to the lighthouse. Marvel at the breathtaking views of Marblehead Harbor, birthplace of the US Navy, & a major sailing capital.

Marblehead’s most popular beach, Devereux, has plenty of picnic tables, playgrounds, and on-site restrooms. Gas House Beach is on Little Harbor. With a rocky shore and small boats anchored in tranquil, shallow water, the scene at Gas House is perfectly New England. Active visitors can enjoy a paddle at King’s Beach with views of Boston.

Great location! Would stay ther again
Our experience was very good. There was one issue that came up, and the property manager was very good at resolving our issue. We would stay there again. The only negative would be the sofas, they were not comfortable at all. It was mentioned in another review and I agree they shoul be replaced. That would make the place perfect!

Wonderful place for a girls trip!
Very clean and well decorated. My friends and I loved this house and it's location. The driveway to the parking lot in the back is tight, but I drove a Tucson, turned in the windows and went slow, it was fine. We had 7 girls in our group and brought our own air mattresses based off the reviews of the couches not being super comfy. There was enough room for all of us. The entrance is through the back, 2 flights of stairs to a small porch. I wish we spent more time walking around Marblehead, the neighborhood is beautiful. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting Salem and don't want to pay the crazy prices to stay in town. It was a short 10 minute drive from the house, and for the nights we wanted to drink, we got ubers. All in all, great location great house! Would be more than happy to stay here again! :)
