Charming private townhouse-style lodging, a block from Marblehead Harbor
Chestnut Sweet, a two-floor townhouse-style apartment, is located in its own building in one of Marblehead's historic neighborhoods, called the Shipyard. Ideal for two adults (or for a couple and one guest), the Sweet is quiet and private, a gentle, fireplaced respite from your day's activities: swimming at nearby beaches, playing tennis and pickleball, sailing, shopping, and dining in town, and enjoying Marblehead's rich history. Everything is within easy walking distance. The Sweet features, on its first floor, a sitting room on the garden with a convertible love seat (to a double guest bed if needed0 and large closet; a living room with flatscreen TV and gas fireplace; a kitchenette (coffeemaker, countertop oven (we are not zoned for a full-size stove), microwave, electric kettle, and small fridge; full bath with rain shower, laundry facilities, and easy, private ground-floor access.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Francie King
Your hosts are Francie King and husband Robert Erbetta. Francie is a writer and book editor, and Robert is a facilities manager and historic-house renovator. They have lived and worked in Marblehead for several decades and consider fine hospitality one of life's purest pleasures. They are deeply familiar with the North Shore, where Marblehead is located north of Boston, and eager to share its gifts with their guests.
Why they chose this property
We invite guests to fully enjoy the Sweet, while encouraging them to explore Marblehead, fall in love with it (as many do) and return often. The Sweet is located in a neighborhood that hugs the waterfront and that once housed shipbuilders, sea captains, and waterfront workers. The Sweet itself, located in its own building with its own small outside brick patio adjacent to a lush garden, is ideal for a summer stay, but equally pleasurable for a winter retreat, thanks to a cozy fireplace. The Sweet's central location means that many guests simply park and leave their cars during their stay, while walking to Marblehead's shops, restaurants, historic sites, and beaches, nearly all of which are within easy walking distance. Ours is a true seaside walking town, with many amenities close by.
What makes this property unique
Close to the harbor, beaches, parks, shops, and restaurants; private; quiet; and available year-round for both short or longer stays. Salem is a 15-minute drive away, and Boston can be reached by car (45 minutes) or public transport. Marblehead is in the heart of historic New England, adjacent to other villages and towns with deep roots in the past. Hosts are amateur historians of the area and of Marblehead's place in Revolutionary War history.
