Beautiful, Cozy Ultra Convenient Salem Home

8.2 out of 10, Very good, (32)
"Overall the house was fine. The location was perfect (close to Salem, but the neighborhood was quiet) and the beds were super comfortable. My recommendations would be to have a tv in the first floor living area and tvs in the bedrooms as well. Also some kind of curtain or frosted glass in the upstairs bathroom for privacy, since it looks right out onto the Salem State fields."

The Warlock House: Bewitching - Speak Spells, Wave Wands, Ride Brooms - Walk to Salem, WiFi, Parking

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (36)
"Super unique! Very walkable to all the fun stuff downtown. I give this place 4.5 stars. My only beef is its terribly expensive for a 1 bathroom and the living room is cool, but uncomfortable. Great for insta pics and all that, but if you think you're gonna unwind an watch a scary movie its not gonna happen. The couches are more decorative. Big kitchen with everything that you'd have at home. And whoever was the decorator...the detail is impeccable. "

We could see the care and love he has put into the home. We now have a new favorite place to stay when we visit the Boston area. Hope to stay again soon. "

Walk to the ocean, very private. Secluded, woodsy location.

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (19)
"Beautiful, cozy stay near the ocean. Beautiful views a short walk away. Because of the weather we didn't get to use much of the outdoor space, but several nice chairs outside. Felt pretty private, separate entrance from rest of house. The grill was a nice touch, but nowhere to sit and eat inside (other than the bed) so we didn't get a chance to cook. Thanks for the lovely stay!"

"Very convenient to the train station where you can park for free. Good property , well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. The town was nice but the neighborhood was a bit noisy very early before dawn. Also there is no way to comfortably watch tv with the setup . The tv should be moved to the other wall.
