It was amazing. great walking distance from all shops and restaurants. absolutely loved it!

The home is comfortable with plenty of space and situated in the historic district. It was an easy walk to shopping, dining and waterfront. The locals were friendly and helpful. Location is convenient to Salem. As mentioned, the upstairs shower is challenging, but downstairs shower worked better for some of us. John was helpful and responsive when I had questions. We really enjoyed our stay.

We've used Vrbo for stays before and the pictures are usually nice but the house doesn’t live up for some reason but that is not the case here. It is so much better in person! It's age absolutely shines and it so much bigger than the pictures look! The location is perfect for quick walks to downtown or around the beautiful historic homes. Will definitely look to see if this home is available when we plan to visit the area again!!

Lots of space in this place! Beautiful rooms and great for family dinners.

Beautiful old home in down town Marblehead. Large planked wooden floors kept in spectacular condition. Misleading description re:bathrooms. Upstairs bath 90% dysfunctional. Claw foot tub & shower total accident not up to code. Toilet & Sink fine. Only bath to use is down stairs. Again old and unsecured drain. When I entered food cabinets filled with old food from previous tenants. Old bathroom products left from previous tenants.(1/2 used tooth paste, 1/2 dozen used toothbrushes. Not pleasant. Bedspreads and blankets old and dirty. Unhealthy environments. Upon my suggestion Owner did buy 2 new bedspreads, pillow covers & 1 new blanket. John is truly a kind man and means well. Suggestion is to review VRBO Host requirements.

This house was perfect for what we needed. The town had quite a lot to offer and it was a quick car ride to Salem.

Great location, plenty of room in the house for my family, John was very helpful with any questions I had. Would stay there again.

Really enjoyed stay

This house is located in the historic area of Marblehead within blocks of water views, shops, and restaurants. (We met so many kind and friendly people on our daily walks!) Don't miss Prospect Alley and a meal at The Barnacle. John greeted us upon arrival and was available via text at all times, checking in to be sure all was in order. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. Outdoor spaces include a nice front porch and a cute deck and side yard. Access to a good kitchen and laundry facilities was especially appreciated by us. If we're ever in the area again, we'll surely try to make this our place to stay.

This was a great location in the charming town of Marblehead. John was very responsive and helpful. The property itself is well taken care of and is stocked with everything you could need. A couple of things to note if traveling in larger groups. With 5 adults, the bathroom situation was a little difficult to navigate. This is not the fault of the owner, we knew the property only had 2 bathrooms. However, one shower is very small and the other is a tub that has been converted and does leak on the floor. Also, the upstairs shower is not meant for a tall person. Just some things to keep in mind as you plan your trip. We had an excellent time and really enjoyed the property and the area.

This property is exactly as pictured and was very clean (and I’m picky about that!) The location is ideal to everything local, you can walk to numerous restaurants, grocery stores and fun local shops. Abbott Hall is directly across the street. It’s also very convenient to Salem, MA, only about 15 mins away and much nicer than staying in the congestion of Salem. John was very helpful and a pleasure to chat with, even solving a last minute parking issue when the local streets where being cleaned on short notice. I felt confident if we had any issues, which we did not, that he would have worked hard to resolve them for us. Our dog enjoyed the small fenced in yard and Marblehead and Salem are both very dog friendly towns, with water bowls and treats outside of various establishments. Preston Beach, a four minute drive, is also dog friendly (for part of the year.) We had just two adults and a dog but there is plenty of room here -3 bedrooms and two baths with a shower or tub-easily accommodating a larger group than us. There is plenty of space for everyone to interact but not be on top of each other. There are even two fun reading nooks. I would not hesitate to recommend this property. And if we ever come back to Marblehead this is where we would choose to stay!

Comfortable home walking distance from Marblehead shops and 15 minutes driving from Salem.

John's house in Marblehead was the perfect base for our holiday visit. The house is in a wonderful location for walks into town and is quiet, charming, spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. John was a truly fantastic host and was responsive, flexible and accommodating. We highly recommend this property and hope to return in the future!

The property was just as advertised and we really enjoyed our stay.

Our week in Marblehead was fantastic! The home is wonderful and has the best equipped kitchen I've ever encountered in a VRBO. Situated within easy walking distance of the grocery store, restaurants, bars and shops, there was no need to drive. Couldn't have had a better experience. Host John was helpful and responsive and made checking in and out a breeze.

The pictures posted do not do this house justice. The house has many features & is cozy. Street parking wasn’t an issue. Neighborhood is very quiet. Looking forward to rebooking.

Parking, very small shower and shower head difficult to use, upstairs bathroom should just be tub because when taking a shower water gets on the floor, hot water was scalding hot and unexpected and cable tv only had local channels

We loved it here. The town was quaint and stuff was close enough we walked most places. The owner was such an amazing person. Easy to talk to and fast to respond. Overall 5/5! Will definitely book again!

Nestled in the heart of the historical Washington Square this house is everything it is described as and more. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, and local historical venues. Parking on the street was ample during our visit in October. Beds are comfortable, and linens are provided to make your packing light. The kitchen was stocked with essentials, coffee, tea, salt, pepper and sugar. Plus some spices. The spacious dining room was our hub, and has plenty of room for dinners, gathering to chat or plan your next excursion. This was a girls trip celebrating my 60th. Most of our activities took place in Salem, but we found this location much more relaxing and we were only 15 minutes away. The drive was fine, and parking in Salem was ok, as we parked in the MTBA parking garage at the train station. We explored Marblehead by foot and found many great shops, and a great restaurant. The Barnacle. John is a great host, and responds very quickly to any inquiries or issues if they arise. We left behind a couple shopping bags and when contacted about this he sent them to us. John is a host that goes the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your stay and feel comfortable. I highly recommend this house, and this host! 5 stars all the way.

Great location, easy access to town. A great host with excellent communication. Will look forward to staying again! Best, Andy

Fun property located next to Old Town Marblehead.

This property is located in a great location in Oldtown Marblehead, within walking distance of all restaurants, stores and other sites. As a bonus, it's right next to Abbot Hall, a must see for visitors to Marblehead. The host, John, couldn't be more accommodating. In addition to being a great person, he was a very attentive host and promptly and efficiently tended to all our requests and needs. The house itself is 100+ years old, is very spacious, and in great condition. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed John as a host.

We have been coming to Marblehead for years and this was by far our favorite place to stay. Plenty of room, charm, perfect location and even a small yard. Owner John is very responsive and helpful. We will be back!!

This house was situated in a wonderful location for our family. My kids especially appreciated the uniqueness of a northeastern style home. John was an excellent host and promptly answered any questions. Would highly recommend.

This was such a wonderful property. Right at the heart of Marblehead, MA. You can walk to so many different places for food, coffee and cute shops. We loved the old house and all the history it had to offer. John and his wife were wonderful hosts. We will definitely stay here again.

The house was clean and quiet and John was very responsive when we needed assistance. The location is great, walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

We stayed at the house for a long weekend celebrating our son's engagement. Everything was perfect. The house accomodated a few family members for overnight stays and we were easily able to host a small gathering of family and friends. Everyone loved the house and spent most of time enjoying the front porch. The property is located in the historic area directly across from Abbott Hall. John is a terrific host with great recommendations. He even dropped off flowers to help celebrate the event. A weekend to remember and a return to look forward to.

Oh my gosh I cannot say enough good things about this house and its owner. The house is beautiful. The location is perfect. Walking distance to a lot of the little shops in Marblehead. Not too far from Salem and Boston. We were there at Christmas so the owner put up Christmas decorations for us. He met us when we checked in and carried our luggage up for us. And when we checked out he offered to come carry our luggage down to the car for us. The Muffin Shop is within walking distance of the house and we ate there nearly every day. Seriously - you should book this house!
