Amazing Halloween week
The four of us stayed here for the week of Halloween. The close distance to Salem along with the short walk to plenty of shops in downtown Marblehead made it the perfect location. John was very helpful and made for an easy check in and check out. The house was amazing, with plenty of room for four people to move around comfortably and well equipped for the breakfasts we cooked and the chicken we grilled. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Fabulous location, charming historical home. The street parking is generous and you should have no problems finding parking. We had a memorable dinner down the street at Five Corners Kitchen, didn’t even have to drive since it’s a five minute walk. Landlord was very friendly and extremely responsive. Wonderful stay!

This listing and the town of Marblehead are stunning. It gave us the fall vibes we were looking for. Got around easy with Uber. John was excellent to work with and help us out with a late check out because of a flight delay. I would recommend this listing to anyone. Margie

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for my wife, our pups, and me. The little fenced-in side yard was super convenient, and the neighborhood is very dog-friendly. The house is cozy and the bed was comfortable. The location is great. It was a short drive to Salem. The commuter rail from Salem to Boston is easy and did not take too long. John is an excellent communicator, and check-in was easy. Would definitely stay again.

I was visiting town with family and have lots of family in town. The house is perfectly situated next to Abbot Hall steps from both old town as well as the downtown shops and restaurants. Parking was easy, check in was easy and the house had everything we could need. It also had several charming outdoor spaces for coffee or reading. Thank you John for your kind thoughtful hospitality
