Affordable shore stay
We enjoyed our time here. This is the upper flat of a house. Parking is next to the garage, just off the street. The unit is accessed by walking through the garage & across a well-kept deck walk to the rear of the unit.
The space is clean and decorations are well-placed and tasteful. The small but sunny kitchen is at the rear of the unit. A living room, bathroom, and bedroom all take up the middle. The front of the unit is a large bedroom and the enclosed front sunroom is accessed by walking through that large bedroom. The sunroom faces Nahant Bay, and the city of Lynn on the far shore. (Note, the view is across a bay, not of the open ocean.)
The house is located on Nahant, essentially an island accessed by the causeway from Lynn. The island is pretty to drive - though no visitor parking for shore access. The beach on the causeway is very easily accessed with public parking.
Getting to Nahant and this unit was a bit challenging as the city of Lynn is a navigating challenge. There were very few amenities in Lynn - had to drive a bit for good coffee & a nice grocery store. However, Salem & Boston were very quick drives.
The owner (who lives downstairs) met us to greet us and show us how to access the unit. Communications throughout the stay were very good.
This is a charming rental in an older house with character - don’t expect brand-new. Nahant is charming despite a bit of a challenge to access. Sunrise & sunset in the sunroom were worth the stay.
