Perfect spot for visiting Marblehead
Marblehead is a beautiful place to visit, and having a comfortable place to rest at the end of the day makes it that much better! The Yachtsman was clean and nicely decorated. My husband and I felt at home right away. We will be back just as soon as we can.
Beautiful street in Marblehead, with lots of stores and yummy cafes. We would love to stay here, again!

A wonderful stay in a charming town in a perfect location.
Great location for exploring charming Marblehead - close to the waterfront and downtown businesses and restaurants. Lovely quiet neighborhood and Matt is a very responsive host! Highly recommend.
Marblehead was a wonderful place to stay! The houses, along with the town have a wonderful personality and history. The people were friendly and the coffee shops were wonderful. The house was open with a great view from the kitchen.

First time to Marblehead
The property was just as described in the listing. It is very clean and well located in the center of things. Easy to get to and easy to park. We had great communication with the owners. We loved Marblehead and hope to go back someday. Everyone in town was very friendly.

Everything was perfect, loved every minute
This was our first time staying in a coastal town and it was breathtaking. Very clean and tastefully decorated suite. The location is very walkable and everyone and everything was very nice. Communication was A+. Already thinking about going back, thank you.
This place is nicely appointed with furnishings and newer appliances. The location is prime and makes walking to shops very easy. I was concerned about the very obvious, easy to guess numeric passcodes for getting into the apartment and reached out to host about changing these before our stay. He graciously made it happen and I hope he keeps the codes changed; it made me feel safer about our stay. I also suggested he label the garbage disposal switch in the kitchen for safety and hope he does so. We had HVAC issues- apparently during change of seasons, if the upper apt (also owned by host) sets the mini splits to heat and the lower apt wants cool air (as we did), this is not possible. We spent almost the entirety of our stay without working air but host was in communication with us and his HVAC contact trying to problem-solve. It finally kicked on around 10 pm our final night because the upstairs guests had checked out. If these issues were resolved, our stay would have been nearly perfect. Very comfortable and stylish and can't beat the convenience!
Comfortable apartment in a beautiful Marblehead location
The apartment is spacious and bright. The kitchen had everything one could want. The location is within walking distance to everything including numerous seaside parks, beautiful Colonial houses, shops and restaurants. Just park your car and forget it. We had a wonderful stay.
Excellent property with all amenities you could wish for. The area is lovely . Marblehead is a lovely old New England town. The apartment is walking distant to shops, restaurants and the ocean. Communication with host was quick and easy. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Very accurate description and pictures. Easy communication with owners. The property is very clean and cute. Right in the middle of town with its own parking space. We were very happy.

A lovely weekend in Old Town
My husband and I recently stayed in Old Town Marblehead. We had the opportunity to stay in the Yachtsman Suite which was perfectly located in Old Town. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops with ease. Walking the historic streets of this town was so interesting and the views of the bay and ocean were stunning. The first floor apartment was comfortable and quiet. Kitchen and bathroom were recently updated. Place was clean and in a great location. We will definitely be back.
It was a fairly nice place to stay. Thankfully there was a second entrance as the battery in the front door lock was dead. The kitchen could be a little better equipped but overall was fairly good. The entire building is run off of one thermostat and it was locked in a range of 66-70 degrees. Would be nice to have more control over the heat especially if you are in a unit without a thermostat. The area is very neat to see but if you are wanting to travel into Boston a fair bit, it is not the nicest drive.
