Guests have enjoyed this cozy, charming house for over 10 years. The huge deck is a main draw, along with the pond and the neighborhood's rocky beach (5 min. walk). The pleasures of Marblehead are minutes away by car. A unique alternative when visiting Salem, the North Shore, & Boston. Sleeps 8 + full kitchen makes for a good value. Built originally as an ice house, today the pond-side location and large deck make for a unique, beautiful setting, overlooking the pond. Set in a private neighborhood, this house will feel like home soon after your arrival. You'll have a full kitchen and 6 person dining area (with folding chairs available if needed). Gas grill on deck. There is a living room on the ground level, with a small lounge in the loft above. The master has a private deck overlooking the main deck. Kids love rowing out on the pond and jumping into the ocean off the neighborhood beach! The neighborhood is quiet as can be, with friendly neighbors and a private, if rocky New England-style, beach. You and your guests will enjoy the peace of your vacation home, while only 40 minutes from Boston.
