Enjoy a true Old Town experience at this charming two bedroom apartment steps from Abbot Hall, Crocker Park, beautiful beaches, and the best shops and restaurants downtown Marblehead has to offer. Situated on the second floor above a jewelry shop, this cozy hideaway was inspired by Marblehead's nautical history, while still retaining all the modern conveniences today's travelers desire.
The space Guests will enter through a private walkway along the side of the building and up the steps leading to a deck and beautiful patio. Inside, the entry area doubles as a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer, in case you need to dry beach towels or bathing suits after a day on the water. This leads to the main living space with an open kitchen. Though the living area may be small, the vaulted shiplap ceilings make the space feel open and airy.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need for meals during your stay and includes a peninsula for dining in. Take your pick from the lobster bedroom offering a queen bed or the sailboat bedroom with a full bed. Treat yourself to a bath in the antique clawfoot tub or take a quick shower to wash away the salt and sand. There's even a spacious patio perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun. Decorated in a playful red, white, and blue color scheme, this quaint apartment offers the quintessential Marblehead experience for those looking to live like a local during their stay.

If I could give this wonderful property 100 stars I would. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Our hosts were so responsive and helpful before, during and after our stay. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Such a lovely place! Everything was thought of (beach towels, speakers, good variety of kitchen appliances) and the apartment was beautifully finished. Look forward to visiting again in the future!
The place was very clean and decorated very nicely! The neighborhood was super walkable and had a lot to do. Everyone is in town was very friendly and helpful!
This is the cutest property!!! The photos do not do the property justice! It was clean, had everything we needed, location made it easy to walk to anywhere we wanted. We even took a short 20 min walk to the beach. We came in to check out salem which was a short 15 drive. Lindsay and Elizabeth were quick to respond to any questions we had. This was a wonderful stay. Can't say enough good things about our stay!
We travel to Salem for Halloween and this location was perfect. It was about 15 minutes away, but very close to downtown Marblehead. Very clean very nice. Highly recommend.
This is a gorgeous place to stay. It was beautifully decorated and the owners thought of every detail that would make our stay comfortable. They left recommendations for places to eat and shop, and they were all excellent choices. There are many places within walking distance, and Salem was just a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet, and there is parking on the street right at the entrance to the apartment.
It was very nice, clean and great location.
We were a little apprehensive about the tub/shower. It is very cute, but might be hard for someone to get in and out of. This would definitely be a 5 star, but giving it a 4.5 because of the tub/shower.
This rental was so lovely. The attention to detail was flawless! The location was great. It was so comfortable. We recommended it to all of our friends at the wedding we attended in Marblehead on Saturday! Thanks again. We will be back.
Marblehead Themed Get Away Just Perfect In Every Way!
Every detail was noticed and appreciated. The decor was iconic Marblehead and adorable for a long romantic weekend or vacation stay. Lots of amenities --from a steam iron to use on our wedding attire to cooking/fresh linens/laundry/and extra towels. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay --so close to walk to everything! We will enthusiastically return! Stowaway treats we had at our wedding 33 years ago! Just perfect in every way! I've shared the website to many others hosting upcoming yacht club weddings.
