About the host
Hosted by Tracy Brodd
I’m originally from Washington state and it lived throughout Massachusetts south and north I’ve owned property in Marblehead for 20 years and managed other Airbnb‘s. Things that I enjoy: I enjoy real estate investing and I love my French bulldog and I international travel, and I love to cook. And I love to do something different that makes someone's day.... or weekend.
Why they chose this property
PARKING: There is plenty of street parking on both sides of Washington St. or if needed some of the side streets. There is no problem parking. Location This home is 1 mile to the beach (we supply the chairs, towel and lotion- has food stand) .4 miles to Crosbys Grocery Store .3 miles to Crocker park, .9 to Ft Sewall, .2 mile to CVS, 800 ft to Abbot hall. 2.5 miles to Salem, 15 mi to Logan Airport, 1 14 miles to Boston, 40 miles to Portsmouth, 21 miles to Newburyport, 53 miles to Ogunquit/Wells beach in ME.
I’ve lived in many neighborhoods in Massachusetts, including downtown Boston and Beacon Hill, south of Boston and by far Marblehead is my favorite place. The people are unique and special and outgoing and easy to quickly make friends. The properties are so old and historic, this is the town where the Navy first originated and it’s an incredibly walkable town you can walk to the grocery store and all the shops and restaurants, movie theatre, 3 parks, and it’s 1 mile to the beach.
What makes this property unique
My goal was to create something different that every member of the family can enjoy or every group of friends traveling together. You will enjoy a bottle of prosecco when you arrive, you will have chocolates, brochures on the town and a welcome guide I've written. You will have directions to the French Bistro around the corner, and our very own Speak Easy if you are hungry and thirsty. But in addition to these little luxuries, each room will greet you with a theme so you can really feel away, safari in the living room, bedrooms: glam room, mid century modern, my happy place and the oceanic room with fish swimming on the walls, games and books, and a chalk wall you can write on, and glow in the dark stars on the ceiling, just one of the many surprises each room has to offer. This property has a perfect location in our town, it has a beautiful backyard with squirt guns, a sprinkler to run through and other children's games and plenty of seating, with a sectional couch, 2 heat lamps, 3 other chairs and tables to enjoy the space, day or lit up with solar lights at night. It’s located right downtown at 5 Corners and walkable to everything this town has to offer, including 1 mile to the beach. Its very spacious and enjoyable.
