We had a great stay! The home was exactly as described and had everything we needed. Check-in was smooth, the place was clean and comfortable, and we didn't run into any issues during our visit. The host was easy to work with and made the whole experience hassle-free. We'd happily stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Sept 2026
We were able to immediately respond to any items that were brought to our attention. The other items brought to our attention, like a request for extra firm mattresses or a ultra-premium channel lineup, were not consistent with our listing and we are sorry that you didn't ask before you booked. Almost all our reviews are 5 out of 5, and there are numerous mentions of the comfortable beds. Although we have a hundred channels on cable and hundreds more on streaming Live TV, you also have the ability to load almost any app that you want to stream from. Our house is well over 100 years old and in great shape, but it is not new construction.

The houses is charming as is the area of Marblehead, the creaking floors there’s no way anyone can sneak around and scare people Abbott Hall, with their bell chiming every hour, was remarkable. It was just a lovely sound. We had to get used to the cars going by since we live in the country and we’re not used to living in a city. Marblehead is a very quaint little area, walking distance to the beach, plenty of restaurants and stores. Salem just up the road about 15 minute's, Boston is about an hour, Plymouth about an hour and a half. It is a perfect place to stay. My suggestions would be - install a shower curtain instead of the 1/2 glass panel in the upstairs bathroom, beautiful claw foot tub , downstairs showers is claustrophobic. If we decide to head back to Massachusetts we will definitely be staying again.

Great place to stay with all of the necessities for a multi day stay. The place was clean and charming. The area is a beautiful part of town.

Very comfortable, very Marbleheady old home complete with creaking floors, lots of wood, radiators that worked excellently (it was cold & rainy for part of the time we were there), updated windows and large fans in every room. The common areas were comfortable and useful while still being charming. The kitchen was well stocked, including a spice rack. The decor in the bedrooms was a little sparse and the third floor bed was too small for my young, newly married 20-somethings. It would be fine for one person. The upstairs shower was classic Marblehead retrofit but a little dangerous for older folks - needs a grab bar for exiting. Abbot Hall bells didn't disturb and only brought back memories. The Marblehead walking access was exactly what we were looking for! Thanks for the authentic Marblehead experience!

Great Location

Located in the center of Marblehead, MA, the property is convenient to the two main shopping areas of Marblehead. Ample on street parking is a benefit, and, in the event of snow there is a garage on the property.
