    Lovely space to venture to and from by foot. Comfortable, clean, and quiet space. Loved being in the heart of historic Marblehead with easy access to places of interest - Fort Sewell, beaches, shopping, history, cuisine and a short drive to Salem. Hope to return

    This is my second (or third) time renting this property - I love it, and I will come back whenever possible. The Old Town location is fabulous, and it's a 2 minute walk to Fort Sewall and the harbor. It's perfect size for an individual or a couple. A couple of caveats for those who might struggle with mobility: The stairs (front or back) are quite steep. And, the bathtub, while charming (and with a grab bar) is a clawfoot soaking tub, which requires the ability to climb in and out. Finally, the hosts are wonderful and extremely responsive.

    We recently stayed at Sandy Bay Suites in Marblehead. The apartment was great! Very comfortable to relax in with tasteful furnishings. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and checking out this wonderful town. So close to Salem and the Essex Scenic Byway. Would highly recommend! We loved our visit!The hosts were easy to communicate with and accommodating. Thank you!!

    Very convenient location. Bed was extremely comfortable. We appreciated the big thirsty towels in the bathroom, though the tub/shower would have been a challenge to enter/exit without the handlebars! The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the place!

    Spotless, appointed, cotton sheets, charm, cozy and warm. Spacious bedroom and living room. I was in town visiting family and was super comfortable in this 8 window, wide plank floor upstairs apartment. Small claw footed tub with piping hot water & shower. Lovely place!!! I would stay here summer or winter. Walk to shops, bars and restaurants- super local!! Stair case is challenging with large luggage but doable. Family picked me up - parking is on the street. Loved my time here!!!!

    My boyfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway and it couldn’t have been more adorable. We actually left fiancés and this apartment was the perfect place to celebrate. Matt was nothing but helpful and very communicative with any questions we may have had. We would absolutely stay here again. 5 out of 5 stars across the board!

    The property was a quiet, great central location. Interesting places within walking distance and also a good spot to drive to some outlying locations.

    Planned a short trip to Salem and found this great place. Everything was as described. I thought it was even better in person. It was cute, quaint, quiet and peaceful. The bed was super comfortable. Some reviews are saying the shower was too small but I’m tall and had no problems with the shower. They do mention that parking in the back was very tight which is accurate but there was always a place to find parking elsewhere. Everyone in town was friendly and every place we ate was good. The scenery was beautiful and there were plenty of things to do. The drive to Salem, or Boston was very easy. Overall the experience was great and would recommend this place. We will most defiantly be returning!

    Loved my stay. Almost felt like a sailor in the old part of town. I walked everywhere and swam every day. Capped the day off with dinner at local restaurants. A true vacation.

    We loved our Marblehead stay! Super cute rental that is walking distance from the main shops. We had no trouble finding street parking close by, and mostly walked everywhere except the beach and Salem. Our one complaint is the bed. I thought other reviewers were exaggerating, they were not. If you like a bed so hard that it hurts to sleep on your side, you'll love the bed at this rental! Know that the building is not at all sound resistant, and the floor and bed squeak readily. I really appreciated how reachable the property owner was. I had to reach out twice and was answered promptly both times.

    We had a lovely time staying at this apartment in Marblehead. It was our first time to the area and a last minute trip that turned out to be fantastic! The apartment was in a great location. We were able to park and walk to restaurants, stores, and waterfront. We did use the car a couple times to go to a further away beach and a farmer's market. The apartment had everything we needed, kitchen, full bath, living room and a huge bedroom. All arrival and departure instructions were very clear from the host. We will definitely stay here again!
