Great spot in Marblehead

We had a fantastic stay here. We are actually neighbors and had an urgent need for quick stay at very short notice and they more than accommodated us. It fit our needs perfectly and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a home while they explore Marblehead and the North Shore

We booked this place for a bucket list Salem Halloween trip. Perfectly outside Salem ($10 Uber into town), but we fell in love with Marblehead. We WILL be back. This house was perfect, clean, perfect location, could not ask for more 💕

Wonderful little cottage in a lovely, quiet New England seaside village

Everything about our stay was terrific! The house is old and feels historical, but it's also renovated and has all the modern amenities. It's comfortable and quiet and perfect for relaxing, cooking and enjoying time with the people you love. And it's just a short walk to the ocean and some great local Marblehead shops and restaurants. It is also a quick drive over to Salem, which was great. We also drove up to New Hampshire and Maine for a day trip, and that was a quick drive up as well. Fantastic location, beautiful home, highly recommend! And if I'm up in the area again, I will definitely stay here again.

Delightful Cottage

A sweet, small summer cottage within walking distance of much of Marblehead. The owner has decorated it well, and has provided everything one might need. Excellent communications, except VRBO listing lists various number of bedrooms. There are two bedrooms, one bath.

Charming cottage - great location

We loved our 3 night stay in Marblehead. The property was in excellent condition, the location worked well for our purposes and the home was well equipped with anything one might need for a short stay. We especially appreciate access to a large washer and dryer and the off street parking. The location is very walkable. It was more than I wanted to spend, however I think it was worth the price.

Great place for a Salem Vacation

Just outside of Salem, it truly felt like a home away from home. We enjoyed spending the nights in watching horror movies. Perfect for families.

Perfect Place in Marblehead

This was our second stay at this property and for the second time, it did not disappoint. The home is beautiful, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the location is terrific. It's close to Salem, which was a plus for the kiddos. Rob is a terrific host. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. We will be back!

The best location in Marblehead!

We've rented locations in Marblehead several times and this one is just perfectly situated and gorgeous. It's clearly all been recently redone in a darling seaside theme and it's just so, so charming. It has everything you need and you can walk to anywhere in town very easily. Highly recommended for a small family or two couples.

Marblehead & Salem Family Vacation

This was our first vacation to the area. It is absolutely beautiful! And the rental home was fabulous & very clean! It is centrally located within walking distance to the ocean. And just a 15 minute drive to Salem. Our vacation was centered upon Salem, but the town of Marblehead is quaint with cute shops too. We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

Wonderful stay at Rob and Sarah's cottage

We loved our stay at Rob and Sarah's cottage. The house is in a great location not far from the beach and numerous lovely restaurants. The house is spacious, has all the amenities you may need, is beautifully designed and clearly taken care of with much love. There are two parking spaces. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!

Beautiful little, house in a fun, old town

The house is just as nice as it looks in the photos: everything is in great condition, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. It's small, but not at all cramped. We traveled with a toddler, and appreciated that one of the bedrooms had a large enough closet for him to sleep in his pack-n-play. And we loved the relatively private patio space. It's also located in walking distance of both the town center (5min walk) and the more historic section of Marblehead (10-15min walk). The host was also very communicative and accommodating. The place was everything we expected and more. We'd love to visit Marblehead again, and when we do, we'll definitely stay here again.

Wonderful!!

My girlfriends and I have been planning for years to do the Salem trip. When we couldn't find anything in Salem I came across this cute and beautiful place! It did not disappoint one bit! The place was so clean and the location was perfect! They also had some great restaurants right there in Marblehead. We also walked down to the water for the views . It was honestly perfect for us and I will most definitely be coming back with my husband. The only thing it was missing was a full body mirror for us ladies, other than that it was great! The owner was also wonderful for contact for us! Thanks for an amazing stay and experience!

Girls salem trip

Wow! I can not say enough good things. We were nervous about staying out of Salem.. when that’s what we came to see. Marblehead was amazing . Quiet, safe, peaceful. We could have spent a whole day exploring Marblehead if he had time! Shubies grocery had everything we needed. The staff was beyond lovely, including Mr. Shubie himself. Lol! Girls trip… all healthcare workers… needing some fun, quiet, good food and hilarious moments. This beautiful home had everything we needed for the perfect trip. And given that we ate .. and drank.,, in the house a lot… they had more than enough dish ware to create beautiful meals and the happiest of happy hours. A perfect reprieve from the craziness of Salem…. And our lives;) Exactly what we needed. Thank you.
