Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 6): Primary Bedroom - second floor (sleeps 2) - King-sized bed - Ensuite bath - Large built-in bureau Queen Bedroom - second floor (sleeps 2) - Queen-sized bed - 2 closets Lower Level - basement level (sleeps 2) - Sleeper Sofa An unexpectedly spacious stainless steel kitchen that flows seamlessly onto a charmingly shaded deck with a view of the private courtyard. Enjoy your morning coffee while basking in morning sun and gazing upon the landscaped backyard. The vibrant living space in the front of the home connects to a half bath and wet-bar, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable stay. On the second floor, high cathedral ceilings tower as you relax on the plush king bed in the primary bedroom, which offers ample storage for longer visits. An exquisite ensuite bath boasts whimsical nautical touches as well as a glass-enclosed shower. The bedroom, at the opposite end of the second floor, presents an equally cozy queen bed and laundry accessibility. Please note, both bedrooms lack privacy doors. They are positioned apart yet sharing a common hallway. The lower level living area expands the entertainment area and offers a sofa bed as well as courtyard access. Tucked at the courtyard's end is a quaint detached office — ideal for undistracted work.

Other Details to Note

The stairs between each level are a bit narrow and steep and the stairs to the second level is a bit windy. The driveway is shared with the neighbor. It is a bit tight so if you have a larger car, you may find it easier to park on the road in front of the home.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Marblehead is a quaint seaside town that offers many options for both locals and vacationers. Visit any of our local beaches — Gas House Beach, Devereux Beach or Grace Oliver's Beach, walk around Old Town and browse the local shops, or visit one of our many restaurants, such as The Landing, Sea Salt, Maddie's Sail Loft or The Beacon and enjoy some time with family and friends. If you take a quick drive over to Marblehead Neck — "The Neck", as it's commonly known — you can spend the day at the Chandler Hovey Park enjoying the lighthouse and all of the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. Or, head over to Castle Rock and watch the waves crash against the rocks. You will never get bored touring the lovely sights of Marblehead! And, if you are lucky enough to visit us during the month of July, you are in for a treat! The Festival of the Arts hosts a wonderful array of music, art and celebration (not to mention fireworks) to celebrate the birth of this great nation. It's a series of fun-filled days that you will be sure to enjoy! And, if you are visiting during the month of October, you have to venture over to Salem to take in Haunted Happenings! It's a must if you are in the area at that time of year.

Our group of 4 had an amazing time at Amy’s! She is very responsive and had great local recommendations. The house is charming and quaint. It is perfect for a group of 4. Anything more may be a bit crowded as there are only 4 seats at the dining table and only 1 full bathroom. Keep in mind that the bedrooms upstairs do NOT have doors and share the connecting hallway. So you will be able to hear conversations etc. The couch in the basement does fold out and it was quite comfortable for us to sleep. The location was perfect and close drive to Salem!!
