Not what we expected

Listing is a little deceiving. Expected the property to be a little more updated. Musty smell when you walk in. Supplies not fully stocked, no ice. No one was happy that we had to wash bedding and towels used. You pay a cleaning fee that should not be our responsibility. We would definitely come back to Marblehead, but will not rent that property again.

10/10 would recommend

This was the perfect house for our trip of 8 adult friends. The house is old and charming but all of the appliances and bathrooms are updated and the beds are unbelievably comfortable. The location was just 20 mins from Salem, a few mins from Stop and Shop and a bunch of other large chain stores, and just three mins from a Dunkin Donuts and liquor store. The neighborhood is pretty and quiet and the pond nearby has a ton of ducks. The owner was very reachable and communicative. Would definitely stay here again. The front door was a little difficult to open given the fact that it was so hot and the wood probably expanded but the side door was easily accessible and opened easily. And we had no problem parking three cars right in front of the house/in the driveway.

Great stay in Marblehead

We had a very good stay at this property. The house is very large and spacious, great for our 4 teens to spread out in. The kitchen is well stocked and the tv room has multiple couches and chairs to gather and watch movies. It was great that 3 of the bedrooms have tvs in as well, as after walking around all day it's nice to watch tv in bed. It was so lovely to walk around the town. You are 2-3 mins from the ocean, and lots of restaurants and great shops. Getting to places like Salem, or Boston are also easy and not to far way. The one thing I will say is that the couches and chairs in the tv room are very worn out. My suggestion would be to get some covers to update the look, as they are still comfortable. John was very easy to communicate with and very helpful with recommendations.

About the host

Hosted by John Johnson

We raised our twin children (boy and girl - now 26!) in this home and they spent many happy hours at the beaches and pond nearby. We added on a huge family room, kitchen eating area and back deck in anticipation of our growing family and we spent most of their time there enjoying views on three sides! I am a (near) retired energy conservation engineer working for a large company but I am now travelling a lot (business and pleasure) so renting my home out during the summer is perfect for us (although we hate missing the best part of living in Marblehead - the summer activities!).

I moved here in 1977 straight after graduating my engineering program at University of Illinois (Champaign/Urbana campus), since I fell in love with Marblehead at first sight! I have never tired of seeing and smelling the ocean next door and always feel that "Ahhhh!" moment when I drive past Grace Oliver Beach on the way to the driveway after a long hard day at work.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is filled with young children and everyone is very friendly. We are all professionals in the neighborhood and we live here because while the home is near the central Historic District, we all love the open areas and countryside features of the neighborhood. It is a very quiet neighborhood and everyone looks out for each other. That's why I always feel safe and welcome here in this little gem of a neighborhood. You will too!

What makes this property unique

This house always draws a "Wow!" when people first see it. It's a central-entrance Colonial built in 1875, but beautifully maintained and retaining all the original architectural features that made it special in 1875: exterior Greek Revival details, shutters (real ones) that still work, interior mouldings, and many built-ins that make living here both beautiful and convenient.

We added a huge family room that adjoins the conveniently arranged kitchen and allows everyone to join together in activities. An outdoor deck is right off the family room and has couches, chairs and tables for outdoor relaxing and eating.

The best feature, however, is the location - walkable to everything great about Marblehead and on the border of the Historic District. There are so many unique hidden walkways and stairs in Marblehead that you will undoubtedly spend many hours exploring the neighborhood and each time you will find something interesting you missed the last time!
