Our family of four enjoyed a wonderful week in this apartment. The central location was ideal as shops, restaurants and activities were all within walking distance. In addition to central air, washer/dryer, 2 bathrooms and a designated private parking space, our host Jessica was extremely attentive and checked in to be sure that all of our needs were met during extremely hot weather conditions. Our stay here was made truly special by time spent in the large and lush private outdoor garden. This includes a peaceful Koi pond with running water and several different seating areas. This beautiful outdoor space welcomes peaceful enjoyment alone or with others. This is truly a special space in Marblehead.

Fabulous Zen Retreat

This property is even more beautiful than I had imagined and was very sad when I had to leave the incredible Zen garden. It features comfortable, luxurious accommodations with a well equipped gourmet kitchen…the location is fantastic with easy walking to all that Marblehead has to offer… Jesse was the most lovely host imaginable and we will be staying with her again.

A Surprise Addition to our Salem Get-Away Weekend

When we booked our October stay in Marblehead, we deliberately selected a place that was removed from the busy streets of Salem. We didn't expect this charming little gem of a place - so cozy and inviting. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor garden space and loved the added touches provided by the host. Thank you Jessica, we enjoyed our stay and slept well at night!

Our stay could not have been better. Jessica communicated with me quickly when I had questions and checked in with us during the weekend. A lovely flat with complete kitchen and an amazing patio with Koi pond. I highly recommend the accomodations and plan to stay here in the future.

Wonderful!

This rental is the perfect place to call home while visiting Marblehead! It is clean, very well equipped (including shampoo, coffee, etc) and has a lot of character. The location is ideal - an easy walk through old town to the harbor and to the stores and restaurants of downtown. Jess is a delightful host - warm, friendly and accommodating. We will be back to this little corner of zen living!

Perfect relaxing getaway

I booked this property for a short weekend getaway to relax and recharge. It was absolutely what I needed! A very clean and cozy space with various places to unwind and enjoy company. I often forgot we were a short walk to the historic district! Jess and her husband were also very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely book again if in the area!
