About this house rental
Built in 1701 as a cooper shop, warehouse, and storefront, this beautifully restored home is one of Salem's oldest surviving buildings. With original character, thoughtful updates, and panoramic views of Derby Wharf, the Friendship, Pickering Wharf, the Custom House, and the National Maritime Park, it's a place unlike any other.
Relax & Recharge
The updated kitchen features a GE Café refrigerator, induction stove, and several inviting spots to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine overlooking the Historic Salem Maritime Park.
The cozy living room includes two Stressless leather recliners, comfortable sofa, and a 55-inch Samsung Frame TV with popular streaming services.
Step outside to your own private fenced yard, complete with a grill, bistro table, and park/waterfront viewing bar—an ideal place to unwind while watching boats, visitors, and life along Derby Wharf.
Sleep Above the Harbor
Both bedrooms are located upstairs. Like many authentic 18th-century homes, the staircase is narrow and steep and may not be suitable for young children or guests with mobility limitations.
The climb is worth it.
The spacious primary bedroom features a king-size bed, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams. stone chimney, coastal antiques, a cozy workspace, and breathtaking harbor views. A sliding barn door and half wall create an airy yet private retreat.
The second bedroom offers a cozy coastal cottage feel with a full-size bed and vaulted ceilings.
The upstairs bathroom serves both bedrooms and includes a compact shower typical of historic homes. A second full bathroom downstairs offers a larger shower and grab bars for added convenience.
A Note About Our Resident Cats
Two friendly, affectionate cats call this home theirs. They are independent and easy to care for but do appreciate fresh food, water, and a little attention each day. Many guests enjoy their company, and they're part of what makes this home feel so welcoming. (Our dog lives here too but will not be present during your stay.) If you have cat allergies, please keep this in mind before booking.
