Enjoy your morning coffee while basking in morning sun and gazing upon the landscaped backyard. The vibrant living space in the front of the home connects to a half bath and wet-bar, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable stay. On the second floor, high cathedral ceilings tower as you relax on the plush king bed in the primary bedroom, which offers ample storage for longer visits. An exquisite ensuite bath boasts whimsical nautical touches as well as a glass-enclosed shower. The bedroom, at the opposite end of the second floor, presents an equally cozy queen bed and laundry accessibility. Please note, both bedrooms lack privacy doors. They are positioned apart yet sharing a common hallway. The lower level living area expands the entertainment area and offers a sofa bed as well as courtyard access. Tucked at the courtyard's end is a quaint detached office — ideal for undistracted work.

Other Details to Note

The stairs between each level are a bit narrow and steep and the stairs to the second level is a bit windy. The driveway is shared with the neighbor. It is a bit tight so if you have a larger car, you may find it easier to park on the road in front of the home. If you are new to Airbnb or will be bringing a pet, you may be asked to sign our rental/pet agreement. The agreement states the dates of stay, the names of each guest, the house rules and information about your pet. You will have 48 hours to review the agreement and if you are not comfortable signing it, you can cancel for a full refund. Pets must be approved by the host in advance of your stay. If approved, there is a $130 pet fee per stay. Only dogs. No cats.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Marblehead is a quaint seaside town that offers many options for both locals and vacationers. Visit any of our local beaches — Gas House Beach, Devereux Beach or Grace Oliver's Beach, walk around Old Town and browse the local shops, or visit one of our many restaurants, such as The Landing, Sea Salt, Maddie's Sail Loft or The Beacon and enjoy some time with family and friends. If you take a quick drive over to Marblehead Neck — "The Neck", as it's commonly known — you can spend the day at the Chandler Hovey Park enjoying the lighthouse and all of the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. Or, head over to Castle Rock and watch the waves crash against the rocks. You will never get bored touring the lovely sights of Marblehead! And, if you are lucky enough to visit us during the month of July, you are in for a treat! The Festival of the Arts hosts a wonderful array of music, art and celebration (not to mention fireworks) to celebrate the birth of this great nation. It's a series of fun-filled days that you will be sure to enjoy! And, if you are visiting during the month of October, you have to venture over to Salem to take in Haunted Happenings! It's a must if you are in the area at that time of year.

We loved our stay in Marblehead! The boathouse is adorable-great kitchen, super sweet outdoor space though it was raining when we were there : / All the accoutrements were top notch. It made for a great family reunion.

Gorgeous house, clear communication, and wonderful stay close to many shops and restaurants. House is just as described including narrow parking situation for a small car and shared space for two beds upstairs. Stairs are also very narrow and steep so just beware. It was completely fine for our family of 4 but may not be conducive to everyone. Loved the outdoor space with fire pit and kitchen was well equipped with many tools including an air fryer. Great stay!

We had an amazing time. House was very comfortable! Great location - very close to Salem but without all the craziness. Marblehead was a cute town to explore - nice shopping, excellent food, walking distance to beach, and great hiking trails.

Our stay at the boat house was nothing less than amazing. Walking distance to local shops, cafes, and restaurants. The house was very clean and comfortable. A private back patio and outdoor seating. The hosts were quick to respond and gave clear instructions for our stay. Minutes away from Salem it was super easy to Uber/Lyft, and cheaper than the parking fees. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.
