About this property

Charming, beloved house sleeps 8, with huge deck over pond & close to the ocean

Come stay in our refurbished four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, house on a quiet, beautiful private way in Marblehead, MA. You can sip cocktails on the deck overlooking the pond as the sun sets while your children feed the ducks and play with the turtles, frogs and fish of the pond.

You can stroll to the private rocky beach a short five minute walk away or drive 5 minutes to the sandy town beach where you can enjoy chowder and a lobster while your children build sandcastles or play on the playground equipment.

In addition to all Marblehead has to offer, we are minutes from downtown Salem, the "Witch City", home of the renowned Peabody Essex museum, and site of month-long celebrations in October leading up to Halloween.

Marblehead is a short 40 minute drive to Boston where you can stroll Newbury St., visit Faneuil Hall, or visit Fenway Park.

We stayed 2 weeks before Halloween and it was excellent !. The house was so clean !!! It rained the first two days we were there but it just made Salem a little spooky. We had time to go to the beach. Tide Pools, sea glass, heart rocks and shells made our day and we even found a Fort . The pond was so great watching the ducks. Had no problems while we were there and would book again.

Henry’s home was lovely! We explored Salem during the day but the house was an amazing retreat after a day of walking. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. It was perfect in every way!

Adorable home in a quiet neighborhood! Deck overlooks a pond with ducks and there’s a rocky beach about a 5 minutes’ walk away. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Plus, the host was very prompt with replies and super accommodating. Highly recommend!

Great spot!

We had a great time spending the 4th of July weekend with friends and family. The large porch made a great gathering spot. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. We were worried about not having ac but with the windows open, a nice ocean breeze and the provided fans we were fine.

Beautiful location

The location was perfect. On a beautiful pond. Bull frogs singing . Our stay wasn’t long enough. Be careful on the transitions from room to room. Small 2-3inch transition. Screwed my knee up pretty bad. It was nice to have a bbq on the deck.

Wonderful home in a great location!

Me and my friends stayed here for an early June bachelorette trip and absolutely loved it! The house was clean, comfortable and well-stocked and you can't beat the neighborhood and pond views and proximity to Salem. The hosts were incredibly helpful on communicating the check in process and had info around the house for anything we could need. 5/5 recommend staying here!

Salem Girls Weekend

House was in an amazing neighborhood just a shot walk to the ocean. The house has a spectacular setting overlooking the pond - tranquil and just very lovely. Quick drive to Salem and a welcome retreat after a full day of witchy wonders and people watching. I hope to get back to The Pond House one day.

Pond House

We found ourselves needing to find accommodations quickly in order to travel to a family funeral. We were delighted to find that the Pond House was available. The house was nicely appointed, comfortable and close to all our planned events. We (as well as our grown children and spouses) found it fit all our needs. Would live to come back again!
