Home was nice, very clean and very nicely decorated.The area was nice and most of the time we found parking in front. For three adults seating was a little tight.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was beautiful, extremely well organized, and so aesthetically pleasing. They provided just about everything you could possibly need, which made our stay really easy and comfortable.The only things I would suggest adding would be a fan for guests and possibly a handle or grab bar in the shower, as the floor can get a little slippery.Just a heads-up for anyone with difficulty walking or mobility concerns: there are stairs you have to go up to access the building. The unit is located above a jewelry shop right downtown, which was such a cute location.We were visiting Salem and loved that it was only about 12 minutes away. It was actually really nice to stay somewhere a little more laid-back and get away from the busyness of Salem in the evenings. There was yummy food nearby, and everyone we encountered was so welcoming.And despite the age of the building, there were absolutely NO haunted vibes , which was a plus!Overall, we would definitely stay here again and would consider it an ideal place to stay. Highly recommend!

This property was an absolute gem and a perfect place for our family of three to stay for a few days of exploring Marblehead, Salem, and Boston. Everything in the home was exactly as pictured and spotless clean. The decor was beautiful and intentional and gave such a calm, crisp seaside vibe. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linens were provided (extra towels, washcloths, etc.). The location was awesome and in walking distance of many delicious restaurants, cute local shops, and historical sights. We loved all of the historic homes and beautiful flowers along Washington Street. It was a quick Uber ride to Salem, and we took the commuter train into Boston one day as well which was quite straightforward. We loved our stay in Marblehead and 100% recommend this property. It’s one of the best vacation rental properties we’ve ever stayed in!

Beautiful Marblehead location

We travel to Salem for Halloween and this location was perfect. It was about 15 minutes away, but very close to downtown Marblehead. Very clean very nice. Highly recommend.

Beautiful historic New England Town

This is a gorgeous place to stay. It was beautifully decorated and the owners thought of every detail that would make our stay comfortable. They left recommendations for places to eat and shop, and they were all excellent choices. There are many places within walking distance, and Salem was just a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet, and there is parking on the street right at the entrance to the apartment.

This is the cutest property!!! The photos do not do the property justice! It was clean, had everything we needed, location made it easy to walk to anywhere we wanted. We even took a short 20 min walk to the beach. We came in to check out salem which was a short 15 drive. Lindsay and Elizabeth were quick to respond to any questions we had. This was a wonderful stay. Can't say enough good things about our stay!

Very Nice VRBO

It was very nice, clean and great location. We were a little apprehensive about the tub/shower. It is very cute, but might be hard for someone to get in and out of. This would definitely be a 5 star, but giving it a 4.5 because of the tub/shower.

Marblehead Themed Get Away Just Perfect In Every Way!

Every detail was noticed and appreciated. The decor was iconic Marblehead and adorable for a long romantic weekend or vacation stay. Lots of amenities --from a steam iron to use on our wedding attire to cooking/fresh linens/laundry/and extra towels. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay --so close to walk to everything! We will enthusiastically return! Stowaway treats we had at our wedding 33 years ago! Just perfect in every way! I've shared the website to many others hosting upcoming yacht club weddings. -Catharine
