This was an excellent location for a girls’ trip to Salem! It was super close to without being in the thick of the crowds and a short Uber drive away. We each had our own room (4 of us) and shared the two bathrooms. You have to walk through one of the downstairs bedrooms to go upstairs (which is also where both bathrooms are) so just a note if you’re traveling with other folks you don’t know well. We had plenty of rooms to spread out and not be right on top of each other. There was a lovely seating area outside and the kitchen had everything we needed to make coffee and snacks while we were home. There’s a lovely market around the corner within walking distance, as well as a CVS, restaurants, coffee shops and shopping! I recommend the Hidden Door speakeasy which was a fun and super close place to end one of our evenings. Magical!Also, we 100% love love loved Marblehead. The town was precious and the people were delightful and I can’t wait to go back with my family. A small water taxi runs from Salem to Marblehead starting October first and it was another one of my favorite things we did. The ferry owners were on our taxi with us and offered to give us a lift from the wharf to the VRBO. It was the nicest slice of Americana you could ask for. If you’re debating visiting stop what you’re doing and just do it! Take the trip, stay in this VRBO and have amazing memories for years to come.

I loved my stay!Tracy is a wonderful host and she has taken care of everything you could want and need while being in this lovely seaside haven. I delighted in people watching from the front room, star gazing from the outdoor patio, and just vegg’ing out with the kids downstairs in their own amazing space.Location, location, location, is absolutely king here! You can walk anywhere from this central location in no-time flat. A few suggestions from me - cross the street and get the best Greek style pizza around at Marblehead House of Pizza, take that special someone for a dinner in one of Marblehead’s nicest restaurants, Five Corners, and finally the town has one of the coolest cinemas just a stone’s throw away at the Warwick!Whatever you plan for your time in Marblehead if you stay in this gem you are sure to have an amazing experience! We can’t wait to come back!!

Amazing property in the heart of it all

We are long time visitors of Marblehead and this has been one of, if not the best place we’ve stayed so far. The property was well appointed from the kitchen all the way to linens. A great central home that you will love!

Beautiful clean home however some difficulties including difficulty with locking/unlocking doors with codes, sensitive fire alarm went off easily and host was not responsive in a timely fashion. Quiet hours are very strict and host lives above VRBO property. Otherwise clean home, pictures as listed and great location nearby Marblehead.

Its always a bit upsetting when a negative review comes through, I read them all and am so thankful to have a 5 star super host rating. I work very hard for it. I believe a few things were left off in Meghans review. 1) it states clearly on line that I have quiet hours of 10pm -8am. My house was built in 1733 and is definately not soundproof. So when Meghan and her friends came home around midnight laughing, yelling and slamming doors, it was upsetting they couldnt adhere to the rules. (they are also posted in the unit) Since I live above the unit this is the one rule that is important to me. I was expecting an appology the next day for the rude behavior not a negative review. As far as entering the unit, the unit has a code, that is sent to all guests ahead of time. I dont understand the difficultiy in entering the unit, no other guest has had an issue. I was never notified of the smoke detector going off, or what they were cooking to set it off so Im not sure how I can be judged on that. I'm glad the rest of their stay was enjoyable and you enjoyed the unit and Marblehead, as that is always my goal.

My family and I stayed here while attending a wedding in Boston. The home itself was fine, but unfortunately the host made us feel very unwelcome. We had a service dog, and despite cleaning up after him every time, the host told us he was not allowed in the backyard because her dog was taking longer to use the bathroom bc it could smell our dog. She even threatened to remove us if she saw him outside again, and attempted to charge an extra fee after our stay, which showed a severe lack of ADA protections.The backyard was also often unavailable in the evenings due to the host using it with friends. With 4 adults, and three small children, the house is tight and not particularly kid-friendly. The first-floor bedroom had a very uncomfortable spring mattress, and both bathrooms were located on the first floor (none on the lower level). Parking was inconsistent—sometimes available nearby, but at worst down the street.Overall, while the home had potential, the experience was extremely disappointing due to the host’s restrictions, rude demeanor and lack of hospitality.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Marblehead! The location is unbeatable—charming, quiet, and just a short stroll to the historic downtown and the waterfront. The home itself was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space was perfect for an evening chat with a glass of wine. Our host was exceptionally welcoming and responsive from booking to checkout. We couldn't have asked for a better coastal getaway and are already looking forward to coming back!
