About this property

Adorable Boat House with Covered Deck, Courtyard and Office. Pet-friendly

Discover The Boat House — a charming gem nestled at the heart of it all! The delightful maritime theme and intricate decor will captivate you.

Situated in the center of Marblehead, with convenient access to local shops, eateries, and beaches, this cute cottage presents numerous delightful surprises. Boasting a spacious chef's kitchen, a secluded courtyard, and a detached office area, this sea-inspired sanctuary provides all the essentials for your perfect home away from home.

The Space - An unexpectedly spacious stainless steel kitchen that flows seamlessly onto a charmingly shaded deck with a view of the private courtyard. Enjoy your morning coffee while basking in morning sun and gazing upon the landscaped backyard. The vibrant living space in the front of the home connects to a half bath and wet-bar, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable stay.

On the second floor, high cathedral ceilings tower as you relax on the plush king bed in the primary bedroom, which offers ample storage for longer visits. An exquisite ensuite bath boasts whimsical nautical touches as well as a glass-enclosed shower. The bedroom, at the opposite end of the second floor, presents an equally cozy queen bed and laundry accessibility.

Please note, both bedrooms lack privacy doors. They are positioned apart yet sharing a common hallway.

The lower level living area expands the entertainment area and offers a sofa bed as well as courtyard access.

Tucked at the courtyard's end is a quaint detached office — ideal for undistracted work.

Fantastic property in the middle of everything

Nautical themed property that was aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, immaculate, and hosted by a very responsive hostess. Amy responded immediately when I misunderstood the check in instructions and came by to make sure we were settled. Everything was perfect with gates and bowls for our pup. Comfortably housed me, my son and two of his teen teammates in town for a regatta. Ac was excellent as were all appliances/fixtures and kids loved the amp while I loved the great kitchen and private back balcony. Perfect stay with easy on street parking.

Why they chose this property

Marblehead is a quaint seaside town that offers many options for both locals and vacationers. Visit any of our local beaches — Gas House Beach, Devereux Beach or Grace Oliver's Beach, walk around Old Town and browse the local shops, or visit one of our many restaurants, such as The Landing, Sea Salt, Maddie's Sail Loft or The Beacon and enjoy some time with family and friends. If you take a quick drive over to Marblehead Neck — "The Neck", as it's commonly known — you can spend the day at the Chandler Hovey Park enjoying the lighthouse and all of the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. Or, head over to Castle Rock and watch the waves crash against the rocks.

You will never get bored touring the lovely sights of Marblehead! And, if you are lucky enough to visit us during the month of July, you are in for a treat! The Festival of the Arts hosts a wonderful array of music, art and celebration (not to mention fireworks) to celebrate the birth of this great nation. It's a series of fun-filled days that you will be sure to enjoy! And, if you are visiting during the month of October, you have to venture over to Salem to take in Haunted Happenings! It's a must if you are in the area at that time of year.
