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.

Relaxing, Upscale, quick walk to downtown
My family had a great trip and loved this property! Decor is really beautiful and simple and coastal- all bringing in the local feeling of this New England coastal town. The kitchen and bedrooms had everything we needed. My niece slept on the pull out couch (15yo) and was very comfortable. The beds upstairs also gave great nights’ sleep and we were all happy. This house was just enough for us (2 adults and 4 kids 15,13,10,7.) We kept noticing little pops of character and thoughtfulness throughout our stay. Cute decorations and quality amenities! There were THREE different coffee makers! And since I love coffee, this impressed me! (A regular machine, a keurig and a nespresso.) My 7yo daughter was up early every day, and we found a stash of board games to keep us busy and quiet. Also, this home is nicely located for visiting Salem and Boston. We did some history and ghost tours in Salem and also visited some Boston colleges. This property is only about a block from the town center, too, and there is great shopping and plenty of food- coffee, boba, cafe and snack options! A short walk in the opposite direction put us on the water- so beautiful! Would certainly come here again! Thank you to the hosts for sending a warm welcome email with recommendations for where to go and being available to us- though we didn’t need anything during the stay- everything was already taken care of for us!!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Our vacation exceeded our expectations. The property was perfect. It felt like a home rather than just a house. Rob was great as the owner. Very communicative and helpful. We would definitely come back. Marblehead was the prettiest place and exemplified what I though of as a beautiful New England town.

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!

A lovely gem
Marblehead is our home town so we have visited family many times over the years. This was our first time staying in this house and it was perfect for our needs. While in a quiet residential part of town, it was still walkable to downtown, shops, restaurants and the water, for those who like to walk. The entrance to the house is one step up from street level for visitors that have mobility issues and that was a plus for potential family we might have invited over. It is also quiet and picturesque, near the water on a pretty street. Parking was very, very easy. There is a great driveway and plenty of on street parking. The house was very attractive, well laid out and clean. We really enjoyed sitting out in the front yard at night. It was fun to see people walking by with their dogs, even a cousin happened to walk by and stopped to say hello, it felt like we were home. The instructions left by owners were very clear and easy to follow and the amenities were very thoughtful. As travelers away from our homes we are often in the position to receive hospitality from local family. It's a nice switch to be able to invite a couple local family members over to where we are staying for a simple deli lunch when we are in town. We were very comfortable doing so in this space. The living room, kitchen and dining room areas are pretty, bright, airy and uplifting and had everything we needed to feel at home. It's a very comfortable, well appointed and welcoming home. I highly recommend staying at this property. I'm sure we will visit again!
