About this property

Charming, beloved house sleeps 8, with huge deck over pond & close to the ocean

Come stay in our refurbished four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, house on a quiet, beautiful private way in Marblehead, MA. You can sip cocktails on the deck overlooking the pond as the sun sets while your children feed the ducks and play with the turtles, frogs and fish of the pond.

You can stroll to the private rocky beach a short five minute walk away or drive 5 minutes to the sandy town beach where you can enjoy chowder and a lobster while your children build sandcastles or play on the playground equipment.

In addition to all Marblehead has to offer, we are minutes from downtown Salem, the "Witch City", home of the renowned Peabody Essex museum, and site of month-long celebrations in October leading up to Halloween.

Marblehead is a short 40 minute drive to Boston where you can stroll Newbury St., visit Faneuil Hall, or visit Fenway Park.

Salem Girls Weekend
House was in an amazing neighborhood just a shot walk to the ocean. The house has a spectacular setting overlooking the pond - tranquil and just very lovely. Quick drive to Salem and a welcome retreat after a full day of witchy wonders and people watching. I hope to get back to The Pond House one day.

Pond House
We found ourselves needing to find accommodations quickly in order to travel to a family funeral. We were delighted to find that the Pond House was available. The house was nicely appointed, comfortable and close to all our planned events. We (as well as our grown children and spouses) found it fit all our needs. Would live to come back again!

Wonderful home in a great location!
Me and my friends stayed here for an early June bachelorette trip and absolutely loved it! The house was clean, comfortable and well-stocked and you can't beat the neighborhood and pond views and proximity to Salem. The hosts were incredibly helpful on communicating the check in process and had info around the house for anything we could need. 5/5 recommend staying here!

Gorgeous Home!
This is an absolutely beautiful home and was perfect for our annual girls weekend! This house has plenty of room (and bathrooms!), a stocked kitchen, gorgeous deck, and is a short drive away from Salem (Ubers find it easily too). Henry is incredibly nice, accommodating, and responsive. The pond ducks were also friendly and said hello back to us when we talked to them (just be mindful of their little bellies and don't feed them bread!). We will definitely stay her again if the chance arises!

Enchanting
We had such a great time staying here. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed (and more). We loved watching the ducks and the turtles in the backyard. The neighborhood was so charming, like something out of a storybook. We are people who keep our house fairly cool and we saw a few reviews saying there was no central A/C but, we had no issues staying cool. The windows were open and the house has several fans to keep it nice and airy. The location is great because it’s close to so many towns where we were able to do a lot of exploring. We loved it!

Quirky tucked away house with amazing deck!
Very fun time staying here with my entire family (my two kids, husband, sister and parents) and everyone had space! Kitchen and living room were smaller but had everything we needed and more! We played games and ate meals all together in the dining room but best of all is the deck. The outdoor space at this house is amazing! My 2 year old got to say hello to the turtles, ducks and fish endless times through the day while my family and I enjoyed beverages on the comfortable patio furniture!

Cozy Coastal Fall Getaway
We had a wonderful girls weekend at the Pond House - the perfect location for trips to Boston and Salem. The home itself was clean and cozy and nestled in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Henry was a great host - he was responsive to anything we needed and we appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine!

Convenient and Comfortable
The goal of this stay was to relax and clear our minds. This cozy little place was serene and tucked away in a place where we could do our morning walks to the beach or down town to grab a quick bite. I would stay here again just because the hosts were so accommodating and the location was very convenient. Thank you!

Amazing vacation
Beautiful, central location. Close to everything we wanted to do on our vacation. The peaceful back deck with the ducks, adorable turtles, and sound of the frogs was amazing. The Rocky beach was so beautiful at sunset. Communication with owner was great. My mug and wine was such a nice touch. Would definitely stay there again!
