Bill and his wife were amazing hosts. Very easy to reach if needed and the property itself was just perfect! Home was located in a beautiful neighbourhood and only took us about 10-12 minutes to drive into Salem. The property had everything you would need...movies, games, books, outdoor dining space, garden etc.. This home is a 10! We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay ;)

The house and communcation with the host was fantastic. The area is very quiet and located in a neighborhood. It fit our needs perfectly. We left a suitcase at the house and the host worked with us to make sure we were able to easily retrieve it. I highly recommend this host and this house to anyone looking for a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of Salem. Downtown Marblehead was adorable and had fantastic restaurants.

Warm and relaxing

Stayed in Marblehead for a Celebration of Life. The house was comfortable, had a large yard for the kids to play in and the 1 year old learned to climb stairs (totally his option LOL), Rooms are larger than you expect and plenty of room to find your own space. I would recommend it for a family and it is pet friendly. Thanks Bill for letting us stay there.
