Jessica’s apartment is simply wonderful. It’s spotless, beautifully furnished, and has a well equipped (3 coffee makers! French Press, drip and Keurig) kitchen with modern appliances. The patio and garden are peaceful and a great place to have mornIng coffee or tea even though it’s in the center of town. The koi pond adds to the peace. The distance is because of the stairs to the apartment but we think it’s worth the climb.
The building is steps away from a terrific market and an Italian restaurant that’s very good. There’s an ice cream parlor just beyond the market. If you’re after a cafe/bakery, there are two not more than a 5 minute walk. There’s very good sushi at Junji’s and of course lobster at several seafood places. If you’re after lobster and in town on Wednesday, definitely check out Bargain Day at the Barnacle. It’s a 15-20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive.
Salem is 15 minutes, Gloucester 10 minutes more - Rockport is a bit more than a half hour farther. All easy, suburban roads.
Jessica is a wonderful host, easy to contact and very responsive. She even let us feed the koi.
We will definitely stay at Jessica’s the next time we’re in the area.

I booked this property for a short weekend getaway to relax and recharge. It was absolutely what I needed! A very clean and cozy space with various places to unwind and enjoy company. I often forgot we were a short walk to the historic district! Jess and her husband were also very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely book again if in the area!

This rental is the perfect place to call home while visiting Marblehead! It is clean, very well equipped (including shampoo, coffee, etc) and has a lot of character. The location is ideal - an easy walk through old town to the harbor and to the stores and restaurants of downtown. Jess is a delightful host - warm, friendly and accommodating. We will be back to this little corner of zen living!

Overall, the living space was clean and well maintained. I had a user error with the dishwasher and the owner promptly replied to me and assisting with the issue (yes it was my fault, not the equipment). Many other "extras" that made our stay comfortable. Ex: beach chairs, extra bathroom towels, pillows for the outdoor seating, extra pillows for the bedroom, throw blankets, etc.
The outdoor space was tranquil and inviting both during the day and at night. The lighting created an ambiance at night that made you want to sit outside a bit longer and enjoy the summer evening.
Personally, we experienced zero negatives during our stay. The owner of the property was welcoming, willing to answer any questions and prompt in her responses. We would love to stay at this property again if ever in Marblehead!

The location made it easy to explore the town of Marblehead on foot. It also was convenient foe trips to nearby cities like Salem and Boston. The property is everything promised; relaxing, clean, and full of personality. Jessica is a gracious host who truly wants your stay to be amazing.

We were very warmly welcomed for our stay over Christmas, even with holiday decorations! This is a very comfortable space, with room to spread out, or be cozy together around the fireplace. The furniture and beds are all very comfortable. A claw foot tub in the main bath was a true luxury. Jess is a very attentive host, who took great care to meet our requests. The location is perfect to enjoy the delights of Marblehead. Be mindful that it is on the third floor, so there are steps to climb to get there. That being said, once you are up, it feels like home.
5.0
I loved this location, the area was beautiful to walk around.
the apartment was fun, there is a loft area that the girls loved to hang out in, out side is the perfect space for morning meditation or qigong. I wished we had a little better weather on our stay but the couple of days that were nice the zen garden was perfect.
Jessica was very helpful and pleasant to talk with she allowed enough space to get ourselves together after a long drive, and was available whenever needed.
I would highly recommend this location for a stay.

The property was in the perfect location for checking out Marblehead and a short (cheap) Uber ride into Salem! Jess was wonderful and the place was clean and beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable too!! Definitely recommend if you're planning to visit Marblehead and/or Salem!!

My friend and I wanted to visit Salem, but did not want to stay there. We found this charming two bedroom/2 bath apartment in Marblehead. The en suite bathroom has a clawfoot tub, I had shower, and a bidet. The owner, Jessica could not be more accommodating. The furnishings and accents are a combo of oriental and eclectic. It was immaculate. The weather complied, and we were able to have coffee outside in the Zen garden. If you rent this place, you will not be disappointed.

Prior to the stay, the host was constantly messaging me with random updates and demanded that I check in at a certain time. I told her I would check in at some point after the 3pm start time of the booking. On the day we checked in, I was exploring the area on vacation with friends, and received a call from the host demanding to know where I was and how many people I was with. She then mentioned to be on the lookout for a water leak, to which I asked if she had called a plumber. She told me she had taken care of it.
When we arrived at the apartment, I received a text saying she was glad we arrived. We felt like we were being watched, but still wanted to give it a try since there were limited options for places to stay nearby.
We went out to dinner and when we came back, a ton of water had filled the laundry room and was leaking everywhere. I called the host and she and her husband came pretty quickly, but said that no plumber could fix it that weekend. She told us we would need to shower in her long term tenant apartment in the unit beneath us. We told her we felt completely uncomfortable showering in a strangers apartment but she kept insisting.
Finally, I called Vrbo for a resolution. They were able to get her to agree to give us a full refund but not before she made up random accusations about us. We had to find somewhere else to stay at 11:30pm because we felt so unsafe at this location and at the hosts insistence we shower in a stranger’s unit.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Jess's property! The location was perfect! It's close to restaurants and shops that are within walking distance. We had a great time exploring Marblehead and Salem which was only 5 miles away! The property has everything you need including a cute little outdoor space. Jess was super friendly, easy to communicate with and more than willing to help with anything you may need!

This property is even more beautiful than I had imagined and was very sad when I had to leave the incredible Zen garden. It features comfortable, luxurious accommodations with a well equipped gourmet kitchen…the location is fantastic with easy walking to all that Marblehead has to offer… Jesse was the most lovely host imaginable and we will be staying with her again.

Jessica and her husband were SO NICE.
When we let her know about our late arrival she offered to get some food to leave for us in case restaurants were not open when we arrived.
Her husband greeted us to show us the apartment and Jessica left two pieces of homemade apple pie for us which were delicious.
We were very happy with our stay.

The apartment was immaculate and very well equipped.
There is an allotted parking space and both inside and outside steps up to the apartment. For me the location was perfect as it is in central Marblehead so I could walk to shops, restaurants, etc. Although downtown, in back of the apartment is an Asian garden and a large table and chairs where one can eat outdoors and is completely private. It was great for having nearby family for lunch. Excellent AC indoors. Jessica was a gracious host throughout. Very satisfied.

My family had a great vacation at this property. The host, Jessica, was very helpful and communicative. The apartment has everything anyone would need, is cosy and very comfortable.
It has a lovely and quiet outdoor relaxing and eating area. There's also off-street parking, which is a bonus in this busy town.
Perhaps best of all, the property is within walking distance of most attractions, including beaches, that the town has to offer.
We highly recommend this property.

Jess was a wonderful host, she made sure everything was perfect - such detail to make everything cozy and nice. Place was spotless, and very well stocked with more than the kitchen essentials.
The neighborhood is very safe and accessible to Marblehead Center and the Beach. Very easy to get in and out to sight see in other places on the North Shore, Salem, Beverly, Ispwich.
All in all a great place to stay. Five stars.

Can't explain the overall tranquility we felt as soon as we entered! We loved the antique decor which felt cozy and comfortable. Beautiful kitchen with everything we needed - 2 good sized bedrooms and bathrooms, a gorgeous patio with a pond as well as a great location within walking distance to great restaurants and convenience stores. Host was gracious and we felt very much at home here. Will definitely stay again!

What a beautiful property. This was the perfect location for our Salem vacation. It gave us a peaceful getaway from the Salem traffic - we got to see the beautiful coast, the gorgeous little town, and truly enjoyed the home.

I spent a weekend at this wonderful property with my 12 year old daughter, her bff, and one other Mom.
The location is fantastic, but it doesn’t stop there.
Jess is a thoughtful and kind hostess. She was attentive and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
The property itself is whimsical, unique, and had everything we could have desired. The outdoor space is magical! The thoughtful small touches, decor, and ambiance were all incredible.
Inside, our rooms were comfortable, and the common areas were great. Jess provides so many extra little touches and amenities that truly go above and beyond!
We enjoyed Marblehead and exploring Salem, which was super close and convenient!
We felt safe, cozy, and incredibly happy all weekend!
Just book it!

Fantastic Rental, Fantastic Town
We gmhad a wonderful time here. The rental was very clean and comfortable. Jess made sure we were comfortable, providing basic staples (butter, milk, lots of coffee choices). The zen garden area is very beautiful and peaceful. Location is great, right in the heart of Marblehead and walking distance to soo much good food and shopping.
We will definitely stay again on our next trip to Marblehead!

Treasure in Marblehead
We had an amazing visit stay at Jessica Lee's property. She was in contact prior and during our trip, as needed. This home is truly a gem with a waterfall on the patio, charming furnishings and bathrooms. She left us ingredients for mornings, including coffee, tea, cereal and more. Sitting by the fire on a rainy afternoon was cozy. We appreciate the efforts she put forward in preparing her property for our visit. We would love to visit again!
