Situated on the second floor above a jewelry shop, this cozy hideaway was inspired by Marblehead's nautical history, while still retaining all the modern conveniences today's travelers desire. The space Guests will enter through a private walkway along the side of the building and up the steps leading to a deck and beautiful patio. Inside, the entry area doubles as a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer, in case you need to dry beach towels or bathing suits after a day on the water. This leads to the main living space with an open kitchen. Though the living area may be small, the vaulted shiplap ceilings make the space feel open and airy. It's the perfect spot to curl up with a good book or watch a movie on a rainy day. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need for meals during your stay and includes a peninsula for dining in. Take your pick from the lobster bedroom offering a queen bed or the sailboat bedroom with a full bed. Treat yourself to a bath in the antique clawfoot tub or take a quick shower to wash away the salt and sand. There's even a spacious patio perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun. Decorated in a playful red, white, and blue color scheme, this quaint apartment offers the quintessential Marblehead experience for those looking to live like a local during their stay. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

The photos do not do the property justice! It was clean, had everything we needed, location made it easy to walk to anywhere we wanted. We even took a short 20 min walk to the beach. We came in to check out salem which was a short 15 drive. Lindsay and Elizabeth were quick to respond to any questions we had. This was a wonderful stay.

It was beautifully decorated and the owners thought of every detail that would make our stay comfortable. They left recommendations for places to eat and shop, and they were all excellent choices. There are many places within walking distance, and Salem was just a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet, and there is parking on the street right at the entrance to the apartment. ##### Mary M.

We were a little apprehensive about the tub/shower. It is very cute, but might be hard for someone to get in and out of. This would definitely be a 5 star, but giving it a 4.5 because of the tub/shower. ##### Julie R.

We will enthusiastically return! Stowaway treats we had at our wedding 33 years ago! Just perfect in every way!
