Great Stay AGAIN

This was our 2nd time to stay in this Marblehead Charmer. It is a short drive to Boston and the attractions there. But it is also such a beautiful town in itself. So much history all around. The home is cozy and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. (Family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teenage boys.) Can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Sugar Firtel

Host profile image
I live in Florida most of the year but since I have family in nearby Swampscott, I had to find my own place near enough to see them and full of things to do. Marblehead is just fantastic!

Why they chose this property

I wanted to buy this property a year before it went on the market! Its got all it's old 1920 charm (some uneven floors, small doorways, etc) and I've modernized it for comfort and equipped it with many fun vacay amenities.... beach toys, waffle maker, blender... but it's still a work in progress, so please leave me suggestions!

What makes this property unique

2 parking spots although in the warmer months, when street parking is allowed, Prospect St provides much easier access, closer and no stairs, than the parking lot. there's plenty to do and see nearby so you can walk to most of the "in-town" attractions, restaurants, boutiques, Marina and beach!
