Highly recommend Sailor's Retreat!
This place was everything it promised and more!!! The team at Breakwater Properties made the transaction seamless, and the stay stellar. The location was ideal, the price was lightyears better than all I investigated, and the accommodations were cozy, clean, and quaint.

Amazing location!
Great location, 14-15 minutes from Salem, with scenic drives from the Boston Logan airport. Cozy place to stay that had all the necessary amenities! Matt was super responsive. Wonderful experience and would absolutely refer friends and rebook our stay here again!

Adorable Apartment!
My husband and I stayed here while visiting Salem and Marblehead for a few days. We’re familiar with the area and like to stay outside the hustle and bustle of Salem (a quick Uber ride is all you need to get there!). This apartment was lovely—it’s nestled in a very walkable area and we were able to hit some local restaurants and shops with no issue. It is adorable inside! Full kitchen, good-sized bathroom and bedroom. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect fall getaway!
We selected this rental due to its proximity to Salem as well as the coast. The photos of the unit were spot on and accurately reflected the property. The location is within walking distance of local shopping, dining, and sites. Very clean, comfortable rental. Great communication with the host. I would gladly stay here in the future.

Great spot!
This is a great little apartment to stay in Marblehead. First floor, lovely bathroom with tub, renovated kitchen. Comfortable and quiet, walkable to many nice spots. Matt was always responsive to questions. Only thing that was a little unclear was that the parking spot was not actually in the driveway but about a block away. Not a big deal normally but coming with an infant it would have been helpful to know ahead of time.
