Amazing property in the heart of it all

We are long time visitors of Marblehead and this has been one of, if not the best place we’ve stayed so far. The property was well appointed from the kitchen all the way to linens. A great central home that you will love!

I loved my stay!Tracy is a wonderful host and she has taken care of everything you could want and need while being in this lovely seaside haven. I delighted in people watching from the front room, star gazing from the outdoor patio, and just vegg’ing out with the kids downstairs in their own amazing space.Location, location, location, is absolutely king here! You can walk anywhere from this central location in no-time flat. A few suggestions from me - cross the street and get the best Greek style pizza around at Marblehead House of Pizza, take that special someone for a dinner in one of Marblehead’s nicest restaurants, Five Corners, and finally the town has one of the coolest cinemas just a stone’s throw away at the Warwick!Whatever you plan for your time in Marblehead if you stay in this gem you are sure to have an amazing experience! We can’t wait to come back!!

Beautiful, unique home

This home was beautiful, bright, cheery and clean. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect! Restaurants, shops and beaches within walking distance. We had great communication with our host who made our visit personal and would love to stay here again.

Beautiful clean home however some difficulties including difficulty with locking/unlocking doors with codes, sensitive fire alarm went off easily and host was not responsive in a timely fashion. Quiet hours are very strict and host lives above VRBO property. Otherwise clean home, pictures as listed and great location nearby Marblehead.

My family and I stayed here while attending a wedding in Boston. The home itself was fine, but unfortunately the host made us feel very unwelcome. We had a service dog, and despite cleaning up after him every time, the host told us he was not allowed in the backyard because her dog was taking longer to use the bathroom bc it could smell our dog. She even threatened to remove us if she saw him outside again, and attempted to charge an extra fee after our stay, which showed a severe lack of ADA protections.The backyard was also often unavailable in the evenings due to the host using it with friends. With 4 adults, and three small children, the house is tight and not particularly kid-friendly. The first-floor bedroom had a very uncomfortable spring mattress, and both bathrooms were located on the first floor (none on the lower level). Parking was inconsistent—sometimes available nearby, but at worst down the street.Overall, while the home had potential, the experience was extremely disappointing due to the host’s restrictions, rude demeanor and lack of hospitality.
