Charming getaway

We loved staying here, enjoying all that Marblehead had to offer. It was the perfect distance from both Salem and Boston and had lots to offer when we decided to stay in. We came on an unseasonably cold week but stayed nice and cozy in the Vrbo. Highly recommend!

The house was so cute and wonderfully decorated. The check in and check out process was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make food and store left overs. We often walked into town for coffee, lobster rolls, and to go the beach. We loved staying here and it has everything one could want in a vacation home.

Great house and communication! Had a little trouble with parking but that’s normal in the town honestly. Inside steps were steep so just be careful! House was very cute just like the pictures. One of the bedrooms, the hanging light bulbs did not turn on so we had to use just one light for the room! House had everything we needed. Would recommend

Rachel was the BEST host. She is SUPER attentive and and accommodating... responds quickly to messages and just overall great to deal with. The property was lightyears better than the original place we booked that didn't turn out. This property was in a great location, quaint, and very "homey" feeling. We wont hesitate to rent from her again if/when we find ourselves in the area again in the future. Thank you Rachel for turning our Salem trip from a bad start to a fantastic ending.

Great stay in cute area

We stayed here when visiting Salem. Salem is a short drive away if you have a rental. The Marblehead area is super cute to explore & has plenty of restaurants/bars! Communication with the host was excellent!! Parking wasn't the best, but we always managed to find a nearby spot!

I really like the location and having our own home that was historic and quaint. 2 pianos, which were both enjoyed. Staying here , you connect with the locals. You feel part of the area- not a tourist. True immersion experience. Friendly area. Park and no need to drive. Walk everywhere for everything. Groceries , dining. Views. Met lots of people in the community. Very relaxing. Beautiful historical homes. Truly a beautiful area. Great space for a musician or writer to create or anyone who wants "me time" Greatly enjoyed by teen. He would move in permanently. Beds very comfortable. Air conditioners in each bedroom and larger one on main floor. Plenty space in rooms. Washer and dryer excellent. Cute and fully functional kitchen. Nice appliances. Outdoor couch lounge area. Overall great experience.

Perfect Stay for Exploring Salem and Boston!

This home exceeded all expectations! From the cozy charm to the unbeatable location, it was the ideal spot for our three-night stay. We loved being within walking distance of adorable shops, fantastic restaurants, and coffee spots—plus, downtown Salem was just a quick Uber ride away. The cleanliness was outstanding—honestly, the best I’ve ever experienced in a VRBO. The kitchen was impressively stocked with every appliance, serving item, and staple you could need, making it easy to feel right at home. While we didn’t get to enjoy the inviting outdoor area, it looked perfect for relaxing. Inside, there were books and games for downtime, and the shower’s water pressure was phenomenal—small details, but they made a big difference! It was the perfect spot for me, my 20-year-old daughter, and her 2 friends. We spent one day soaking at Salem's Haunted Happenings, and another exploring Boston, just a 45-minute Uber ride away. Though I initially hoped to stay in Salem, I’m so glad we chose this home. It offered us the best of both worlds—a peaceful retreat with easy access to everything. Highly recommend!

About the host

My family and I have been on the North Shore for the last 10 years and love exploring all that this area has to offer! We love to enjoy Gloucester beaches, or adventure to local coffeeshops and breweries. When I'm not managing airbnbs I am working for a local nonprofit mentoring middle and high school students or chasing around our growing baby! We love enjoying short term rentals as guests and getting to experience new places in unique homes. Some of our favorites have been in Sarasota, Santa Barbara, and Montreal. I'm looking forward to hosting you here in our neck of the woods. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
