We planned on visiting Marblehead over the holidays and wanted something different from the usual B&B experience. We found the Admiral's House after calling the Harbor Light Inn. We told them that we really wanted privacy and preferably a suite with kitchen facilities. They recommended the Admiral's House which was on a side street close to everything. It was just what we had in mind. The apt is located in an historic house with its own garden and entrance. We loved the nautical decor, right down to the teak floor in the kitchen. There is a working fireplace in the living room and the sofa is a pullout queen for guests which we fortunately never needed. The bedroom hs a queen four poster and the bath had a Jacuzzi. We wanted to cook for our selves and entertain some local friends occaisionally and this was the ideal place for us. We look forward to hopefully coming back this summer when we can stay longer in our own little getaway. Teh other bonus is that you can pay a little more and have breakfast at the Harbor Light, right down the street. We opted to eat in most of the time but we did have their breakfast buffet on the weekend, which was a nice alternative and we got to meet lots of other travelers.
