About Marblehead
Founded in 1629, Marblehead was a crucial fishing port during the American Revolution; much of its history can be discovered by navigating through the colorful, narrow streets of Old Town. Like an open-air museum, Marblehead flaunts its history not only in its well-preserved 18th-century houses and architecture, national historic landmarks and local shops are sprinkled throughout the town.

After meandering amongst the quaint Colonial houses, take a tour through Marblehead Neck, which leads to the lighthouse. Marvel at the breathtaking views of Marblehead Harbor, birthplace of the US Navy, & a major sailing capital.

Marblehead’s most popular beach, Devereux, has plenty of picnic tables, playgrounds, and on-site restrooms. Gas House Beach is on Little Harbor. With a rocky shore and small boats anchored in tranquil, shallow water, the scene at Gas House is perfectly New England. Active visitors can enjoy a paddle at King’s Beach with views of Boston.

This was a great spot for our family overall. We had a short drive to visit relatives in Marblehead. It was a short drive or walk to delicious food, the beach, and Fort Sewall. We looked at all the great jewelry and treasures in the shop downstairs and made some great finds. It was a little tricky to park, but we had to get a bigger rental car -- we knew that going in. Appreciated the complimentary coffee, a/c, cozy blankets, board games, streaming options, and blackout shades (in one bedroom). The five of us managed with just one bathroom on the upstairs floor, and I was glad we didn't have tiny kids or frail elders to navigate the stairs. It was big enough to have some family over for dinners and games.

Our stay was ok but I did reach out to the property manager about an early check in. I was told maybe but she would get back to me. I never heard back from her and when we arrived at the 4:00 pm check in time we still couldn’t check in because the cleaners weren’t done cleaning the property. I also don’t remember being told about the parking situation until a day or so before we checked in. The listing stated that there is parking on site but I don’t remember it mentioning that you have to be driving a very small car in order to utilize the on site parking. We had a rental SUV and ended up damaging the vehicle because it is such a tight squeeze to get to the on site parking. The owner of the property is unprofessional and uncooperative and has failed to return a few items that we accidentally left behind. When I realized I left some things behind the day after we checked out, I immediately messaged the owner to let her know that I forgot some things and that my mother was still in town and could easily stop by to get them. Instead, she told me she would ship them to me and she would send me the information to purchase a shipping label. A few days went by and I still hadn’t received the email. She has been playing this game of cat and mouse with me now for nearly 3 weeks. We checked out on 7/18/24 and today is 8/6/24 and I still do not have my belongings or confirmation that she has shipped them. At this point, I’m assuming she intends to steal them. Unreal.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Sweet Retreat! Had we known just how much we were going to enjoy our stay, we would’ve booked longer. Comfy beds, shower is great and the area is amazing. It is on a very, busy street so the back bedroom is much quieter! Believe it when you read that it is a tight squeeze to get to the parking spot! We drove a CRV and it was tight. Anything wider won’t fit!
