The view from the back porch(es) was fantastic. Sit back and watch the wildlife in the bay. A very comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood with a great view that is close to town.

Thank you, Chris! We appreciate your positive feedback and are happy that you enjoyed your stay. You're welcome back any time. Have a great rest of the Fall!
We enjoyed the property for our corporate retreat. Very nice, peaceful lakefront and kind amenities (water bottles, bottle of wine) left by the host!

The house is beautiful. Even nicer in person. Everything went very smoothly and we loved the quiet neighborhood while still being only a few minutes drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend this property!

Fortunate to have wonderful guests whom enjoy the uniqueness of this very special home and location. Sarah's social gathering group connected to the spot and was respectful, taking good care of my property.
Booking to checkout this was an excellent host and residence. Clean, peaceful, and right on the water. It was a relaxing retreat. Looking forward to the next time! Thank you, Julie, for sharing your home with us!

Todd and his entourage were easy, considerate guests. Attentive and respectful towards my very special home. Would absolutely be welcome back for another visit, hopefully longer stay!
Absolutely loved our stay in this Salem house by the water. Not only is it a beautiful home with tons of natural light by the water but the host made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. Greeted with a bottle of wine, snacks, and water after a travel day was the perfect touch! Would definitely stay in this home again for our next trip up to Salem!

Ayesha, It was such a pleasure to connect and have you and your family stay at my home. Hope you have a chance to come back again without 'special 'commitments. Very best you you! Kind Regards, Julie
The house is absolutely gorgeous. Views are stunning, everything was so clean and organized and the hosts were super helpful with providing some local recommendations, and so thoughtful to leave wine, chocolates and a basket of toiletries in the bathroom. Quiet neighborhood just minutes away from all the fun of downtown salem. We had so much fun in October, I imagine the summers are beautiful here as well !

Great to hear that you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our home as much as you did. Enjoy the rest of your Fall, and we look forward to welcoming you back in any season.
The property was even more beautiful than the photos. Our family was there together and we enjoyed exploring Salem as much as sitting and relaxing on the porch. Neighborhood was quiet and close to everything. A favorite was walking from the house on the rail trail to Marblehead. Julie was very responsive and gave us wonderful tips about where to eat and what to see in the area. Can’t wait for a return visit!

Great to have you visit, such considerate guests whom treated my home as your own. I appreciate that you truly enjoyed the magic of this place and location. Welcome again soon I hope. PS. Cowboy boots are on their way!
Perfect for family. Only 35 minutes to Boston. The playground and private Park besides de House is wonderful! Cozy interior design.
Julie was very nice from the beginning. The only thing we noticed: Appliances are little bit old and only one full bathroom upstairs.

I'm delighted that you and your family had the opportunity to visit the area and relax in my home. Very easy and considerate guests!
We loved the location size and amenities of your home- beautiful views! - only drawback was no functioning AC on first floor and the second floor AC was not sufficient to cool the whole upstairs. It was unseasonably warm and the fans provided did help. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home- we had a great time!

We're so happy your stay was a good one! Always check amenities before booking aany property, as mine doesn't list A/C as a feature. Hope to have you back again! Happy Summer!
Coming out each morning to sit on the spacious deck, watching the lapping waters of the bay, then eating our home-cooked meals (ample kitchen) on the same deck while watching the sun recede, plus access to the sweet, quiet little beach you see in the photos…it doesn’t get much better than this!
The legacy 3-story house has enough room for a good-sized family, and our host, Julie, was totally responsive and accommodating to our needs there.
A stone’s throw from all Salem has to offer, yet you feel totally removed in a quiet neighborhood near Salem State University.
If you get a chance to stay here for a few nights or more, don’t hesitate.

Thank you for your thoughtful description of this special home and its location. It really does feel sometimes manifested from a Nancy Meyers movie. Glad you had a chance to make a connection to what N.England has to offer ... for your future explorations. You were wonderful guests, putting up with a few moments of 'character' from my home. It's an area of amiable, kind human s ... and incredible soul.
We rented this beautiful house to celebrate my husband’s completion of his cross country bike ride. It couldn’t have been more perfect for him to decompress and spend time with our adult children that came to Boston to celebrate.
We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, the comfy beds, the laundry room and the nicely decorated and welcoming feeling of the spacious house.
But my absolute favorite part was the feeling of being in a quiet and private beachfront location within a very large city. The wicker rocker on the middle deck (you have 3 decks to choose from!) was where I spent my time relaxing and enjoying Salem Bay.
Thanks again for sharing your lovely home.

Hi Billie
Delighted that a momentous journey ended with an easy, relaxing time surrounded by your loved ones. Sounds like an 'as good as it gets' moment in time. ~ Kind Regards, Julie
We just experienced the most magical Thanksgiving in this beautiful home! We were in the Boston area visiting our college-age daughter, and touring colleges with our high school-age son, and couldn't have found a more comfortable or charming option for the entire family. The owner was easily reachable when we experienced one minor snag, but the issue was resolved very quickly and easily. We hope to come back again.
Peaceful location within walking distance of downtown
Beautiful property with a gorgeous view! Perfect for watching sunrises. Neighborhood is walkable to downtown.
