A Surprise Addition to our Salem Get-Away Weekend

When we booked our October stay in Marblehead, we deliberately selected a place that was removed from the busy streets of Salem. We didn't expect this charming little gem of a place - so cozy and inviting. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor garden space and loved the added touches provided by the host. Thank you Jessica, we enjoyed our stay and slept well at night!

Wonderful!

This rental is the perfect place to call home while visiting Marblehead! It is clean, very well equipped (including shampoo, coffee, etc) and has a lot of character. The location is ideal - an easy walk through old town to the harbor and to the stores and restaurants of downtown. Jess is a delightful host - warm, friendly and accommodating. We will be back to this little corner of zen living!

Perfect relaxing getaway

I booked this property for a short weekend getaway to relax and recharge. It was absolutely what I needed! A very clean and cozy space with various places to unwind and enjoy company. I often forgot we were a short walk to the historic district! Jess and her husband were also very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely book again if in the area!

Fabulous Zen Retreat

This property is even more beautiful than I had imagined and was very sad when I had to leave the incredible Zen garden. It features comfortable, luxurious accommodations with a well equipped gourmet kitchen…the location is fantastic with easy walking to all that Marblehead has to offer… Jesse was the most lovely host imaginable and we will be staying with her again.

LITTLE GEM IN MARBLEHEAD

Can't explain the overall tranquility we felt as soon as we entered! We loved the antique decor which felt cozy and comfortable. Beautiful kitchen with everything we needed - 2 good sized bedrooms and bathrooms, a gorgeous patio with a pond as well as a great location within walking distance to great restaurants and convenience stores. Host was gracious and we felt very much at home here. Will definitely stay again!

Cozy Condo in Nice Neighborhood!

Jess was a wonderful host, she made sure everything was perfect - such detail to make everything cozy and nice. Place was spotless, and very well stocked with more than the kitchen essentials. The neighborhood is very safe and accessible to Marblehead Center and the Beach. Very easy to get in and out to sight see in other places on the North Shore, Salem, Beverly, Ispwich. All in all a great place to stay. Five stars.

Wonderful Marblehead Vacation

My family had a great vacation at this property. The host, Jessica, was very helpful and communicative. The apartment has everything anyone would need, is cosy and very comfortable. It has a lovely and quiet outdoor relaxing and eating area. There's also off-street parking, which is a bonus in this busy town. Perhaps best of all, the property is within walking distance of most attractions, including beaches, that the town has to offer. We highly recommend this property.

Review of Jessica's place in Marblehead

Jessica and her husband were SO NICE. When we let her know about our late arrival she offered to get some food to leave for us in case restaurants were not open when we arrived. Her husband greeted us to show us the apartment and Jessica left two pieces of homemade apple pie for us which were delicious. We were very happy with our stay.

Great spot

I loved this location, the area was beautiful to walk around. the apartment was fun, there is a loft area that the girls loved to hang out in, out side is the perfect space for morning meditation or qigong. I wished we had a little better weather on our stay but the couple of days that were nice the zen garden was perfect. Jessica was very helpful and pleasant to talk with she allowed enough space to get ourselves together after a long drive, and was available whenever needed. I would highly recommend this location for a stay.

Host profile image
We are a mature couple who owns and operates an arts and antique gallery on the first ground floor a few days of a week. Although we are experienced landlords for many years in town, running vacation homes rentals is a new venture for us.
The space is deigned and built for us in recent years for better comfort and luxury living including a central air, a convenient gas fire place and spacious kitchen with high end appliances.
We moved out to another property we own that needed the renovation.
During the Pandemic, We furnished the place for a couple, friends of ours.. who needed the place when their grown children decided to move back home with their grand children.
When they left after 8 month, we decided to keep the place as furnished and started vocational rental business. We are looking forward to start our new exciting venture.
We live just around the corner with two parakeets and two beloved pets that I do not like to even refer them as "dogs" but consider them as our kids. Our close proximity make it easy to be available for guests if needed.

Why they chose this property

Our place is centrally located steps from beautiful Town Hall between the old town and down town, walk to beaches , all tourist attractions, shops, and public transportation such as to bus stops to the subway and train station to Boston. Although it's centrally located, we are a few blocks away from hustle and bustling shopping area providing the plenty street parkings as well as one car off street designated parking space on the property. You will find the place to be comfortable with modern convenience of luxury amenity but also offer an enchanting tranquil Asian garden to enjoy overlooking Koi fish pond with a water fall in the Summer

What makes this property unique

A fully independent private living space including a well equipped kitchen with high end appliances including laundry and dryer. 1 bedroom with 2 full baths including an old fashion claw foot Victorian bathtub w/shower and bidet and another separate full shower bath room.
Although the property is listed as 1 bedroom, if you desire to travel more than two in the party, there is another separate full size bedroom available for an additional nightly charge of $25.00 for each additional guest.
The interior living space is truly unique with a hint of Eastern accents that Steps out to
surprisingly spacious Zen garden with blue stone patio with Koi fish pond w/ water fall. Cathedral ceilings through out that gives open and airy space. Convenient gas fireplace and central air condition for an added comfort.
