Charming getaway

We loved staying here, enjoying all that Marblehead had to offer. It was the perfect distance from both Salem and Boston and had lots to offer when we decided to stay in. We came on an unseasonably cold week but stayed nice and cozy in the Vrbo. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely house, perfect for people who need two bedrooms but can share a bathroom. The location is great. Parking was not a problem during our stay in early June. We walked in the neighborhood each day to admire the houses and gardens. People were friendly and we visited with a few dogs. The kitchen is modern. The fridge was 100% empty, so bring or shop for everything you need including butter, condiments, salad dressing etc. The air conditioners worked well. We didn’t have a way to cover the outside chairs, so we didn’t chance sitting outside. The host’s requirements for checking out are minimal, and we felt welcome.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rachel’s beautiful home, which was not only incredibly charming and clean, but also perfectly located in walking distance to restaurants and shops in Marblehead’s old town. It happened to snow the first night of our stay, and we were pleased to see that she made sure her outdoor porch and steps had been promptly shoveled and salted. I would highly recommend Rachel’s place to anyone visiting Marblehead!

The house was so cute and wonderfully decorated. The check in and check out process was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make food and store left overs. We often walked into town for coffee, lobster rolls, and to go the beach. We loved staying here and it has everything one could want in a vacation home.

Liked: Location
Our stay was awesome and the house was so adorable. The only reason I did not give it a full 10/10 is because of a couple minor things. Hanging bulb light in larger bedroom didn’t work, TV in same room did not work and we could not get the temperature in the home to not be sweltering hot during the day or freezing cold at night and the shower is at an angel but the shower curtain is not so it was very hard to not get water out of the shower since it had no option but to stay open due to the slant. We did fall in love with Marblehead and the home itself, neighbors were always nice and said hello and waved. Charming place!

We stayed here when visiting Salem. Salem is a short drive away if you have a rental. The Marblehead area is super cute to explore & has plenty of restaurants/bars! Communication with the host was excellent!! Parking wasn't the best, but we always managed to find a nearby spot!

Rachel was the BEST host. She is SUPER attentive and and accommodating... responds quickly to messages and just overall great to deal with. The property was lightyears better than the original place we booked that didn't turn out. This property was in a great location, quaint, and very "homey" feeling. We wont hesitate to rent from her again if/when we find ourselves in the area again in the future. Thank you Rachel for turning our Salem trip from a bad start to a fantastic ending.

Great house and communication! Had a little trouble with parking but that’s normal in the town honestly. Inside steps were steep so just be careful! House was very cute just like the pictures. One of the bedrooms, the hanging light bulbs did not turn on so we had to use just one light for the room! House had everything we needed. Would recommend

I really like the location and having our own home that was historic and quaint. 2 pianos, which were both enjoyed. Staying here , you connect with the locals. You feel part of the area- not a tourist. True immersion experience. Friendly area. Park and no need to drive. Walk everywhere for everything. Groceries , dining. Views. Met lots of people in the community. Very relaxing. Beautiful historical homes. Truly a beautiful area. Great space for a musician or writer to create or anyone who wants "me time" Greatly enjoyed by teen. He would move in permanently. Beds very comfortable. Air conditioners in each bedroom and larger one on main floor. Plenty space in rooms. Washer and dryer excellent. Cute and fully functional kitchen. Nice appliances. Outdoor couch lounge area. Overall great experience.

Perfect Stay for Exploring Salem and Boston!

This home exceeded all expectations! From the cozy charm to the unbeatable location, it was the ideal spot for our three-night stay. We loved being within walking distance of adorable shops, fantastic restaurants, and coffee spots—plus, downtown Salem was just a quick Uber ride away. The cleanliness was outstanding—honestly, the best I’ve ever experienced in a VRBO. The kitchen was impressively stocked with every appliance, serving item, and staple you could need, making it easy to feel right at home. While we didn’t get to enjoy the inviting outdoor area, it looked perfect for relaxing. Inside, there were books and games for downtime, and the shower’s water pressure was phenomenal—small details, but they made a big difference! It was the perfect spot for me, my 20-year-old daughter, and her 2 friends. We spent one day soaking at Salem's Haunted Happenings, and another exploring Boston, just a 45-minute Uber ride away. Though I initially hoped to stay in Salem, I’m so glad we chose this home. It offered us the best of both worlds—a peaceful retreat with easy access to everything. Highly recommend!
