Come visit Marblehead! My home is a mere 10 minutes walk to a park with a playground and a rocky beach with fantastic sunsets. 15 minutes walk in the other direction leads to the historic town center with its pubs, waterfront restaurants and shopping areas. A 5 minute car ride takes you to the larger sandy/pebbly beach on the Atlantic ocean side of Marblehead where you’ll find a playground, ice cream and fish and chips at a food stand with outdoor tables. There are many other playgrounds a short distance away. Supermarket is only 5 mins drive or 15 mins walk. Buy artwork, clothes and souvenirs at a variety of boutiques downtown. Bus stop only 12 mins walk from home gets you to the Blue Line T into Boston. Mbta train from Salem (where you can park all day) gets you to Boston and points north eg Gloucester and Newburyport. Salem is a fantastic town to visit with museums and ghostly happenings all the year round!
Getting to my home
Boston/Logan Airport is about 40 minutes away. It is also possible to take the T Blue Line from the Airport to Wonderland then to catch a bus that brings you right to Marblehead. It’s a good idea to have a car to see the local sights though…so many places to explore!
Nearest airport
Boston/Logan Airport is about 40 minutes away. Unless it’s rush hour when it takes a bit longer!
Getting Around
10-15 minute walk to local shops and to the bus stop for the bus that takes you to the Blue Line T stop or the MBTA train line to Boston. A car is advised to take full advantage of local sights that are off the beaten track.

Angela's home in historic Marblehead Massachusetts was clean, comfortable and a the perfect place to relax after a day out. There is so much to see and do in the area and close proximity to Salem. Which is fun but much nicer to come home to Marblehead. There is a beautiful scenic small beach within walking distance with great views across to Salem. Angela was great to meet and we had a good night out at an Irish session she brought us to. Although we have been to Marblehead many times we learned some good tips from Angela who was always available by what's App if we needed any help. Hope you get over to Doonbeg Angela. Good music is there as well. -
Thank you Ginny! Feel free to come back to Marblehead any time! It was fun to meet you and Frank - hope to see you in Ireland and to enjoy more music soon!

We had a wonderful stay with Angela. When we signed up with PLU, I don't think we really fully appreciated the strength and beauty of the community. Meeting people like Angela, and developing friendships, all with a love of travel, is really a testament to PLU. Angela's home was perfect and had everything we needed to enjoy Marblehead, We spent our days walking trails, exploring Marblehead and nearby communities and eating A LOT of seafood....eg oysters and lobsters. There is a real pride of community in Marblehead with a lot of history. Highly recommend! -
Thank you Lauren for your lovely feedback and for taking such great care of my home and plants. Come back any time!!

Angela
Hello - I’m a single 71 year old woman originally from England (Yorkshire) and now living just north of Boston in a nice seaside town called Marblehead. I used to host an Airbnb and have done home exchanges in the past. I worked as a fundraiser during my career but now I’m retired enjoying being footloose and fancy-free, aside from some grandma and volunteer duties. (I have 4 grandkids under 6!) I love to travel and meet up with friends (usually from the UK) to take trips. I tend to go to the same places though in the UK to see friends so I’m looking for some new adventures in new locations and hoping to bring a traveling companion or two with me. If the right place comes up I hope to bring family members with me too!
