SeaCity View: Stunning Views, Walk to Beach & Town, Private Garden

Experience holiday splendor at Hammond Castle Museum’s sixth annual Deck The Halls celebration in Gloucester, MA!
Try to imagine that perfect blend of urban convenience with seaside fun! That's SeaCity View. With a hilltop location and a roof deck, SeaCity View offers amazing views: beach, ocean, and the Boston Skyline. Sip your morning coffee and watch the sunrise; sip your evening wine and enjoy the colorful sunsets; sip your nightcap and star gaze! Wow - does it get any better than this? More than just amazing views, SeaCity View offers that perfect blend of serenity, stunning views, and convenience!

Convenience: A 5 minute walk to wonderful beaches, a 5 minute walk to many dining options, and a 10 minute walk to the train station. From Swampscott, trains connect directly to Boston and all the seaside cities along Boston's North Shore. The train to Boston's North Station is 30 minutes or less with the express trains. Take a northbound train to Salem, Gloucester, Rockport, Ipswich, Essex, and Newburyport - easy to explore so many historic mariner cities. If you prefer driving, take the Scenic Essex Byway - meander through so many historic seaside villages, soft sandy beaches, and rocky shorelines.

Serenity: SeaCity View is a charming, beautifully furnished home nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a private garden. All the benefits of a private home and yard!

As you enter the front door, SeaCity View welcomes you with an open floor plan. The foyer leads to a comfy living area with a big screen smart TV. Kick back, relax, and watch your favorite streaming services. Gather around on the comfy couch and chairs for conversation. Adjourn to dine where the dining table comfortably seats 4. Around the corner, enter the gourmet kitchen with full sized appliances: fridge, gas stove, dishwasher, and microwave and fully stocked kitchen wares.

Take the stairs up one flight, and enjoy the master suite level. The master bedroom with king-sized bed, bedside table with lamp, full mirror, and comfy chair. The full bathroom provides a combination shower & tub. A small cozy snoring room provides a few benefits - Is your partner snoring? Then s/he can nap on the chaise lounge in the snoring room. The snoring room provides a quiet corner to read or meditate. The vanity provides the perfect spot to get ready for date night.

Go up the stairs to the Roof Deck Level, and find the family room with office work space. The family room is amazing - the roof, lined with skylights, brings in tons of sunlight all year long - cozy and warm even on cooler days. The couch and comfy chair provide another gathering space for guests to enjoy this charming home.

The Roof Deck Level family room leads to the roof top deck. Furnished perfectly! For relaxing , there's the L-shaped couch; for dining, there's a table and chairs. Ooh la la - that view! Overlooking Fisherman's & King's Beaches, enjoy watching the sun glisten off the waves or soak in the Boston Skyline.

The work area provides a spacious desk, ergonomic work chair, a large monitor, and a printer - an excellent work space with a view!

Descend down the stairs to the Garden Level.. On the Garden Level: guests will find the guest room and half bath. The guest room furnishings include queen-sized bed, private desk, and large screen smart TV. Guest have 2 bureaus to store their belongings. Off the guest room, is the utility room which provides full-sized washer and dryer.

From the utility room, guest can access the private backyard & outdoor spaces. SeaCity View offers another beautifully furnished gathering space, the covered porch. Laze about on the couch; gather on the cozy chairs; set-up appetizers on the spacious coffee table. Enjoy the fresh air in a shady space.

From the covered porch, head into the garden with lovely plantings, a fountain, and the gas grill. An outdoor dining set rounds out the accoutrements of this fabulous private garden!

About Marblehead
Founded in 1629, Marblehead was a crucial fishing port during the American Revolution; much of its history can be discovered by navigating through the colorful, narrow streets of Old Town. Like an open-air museum, Marblehead flaunts its history not only in its well-preserved 18th-century houses and architecture, national historic landmarks and local shops are sprinkled throughout the town.

After meandering amongst the quaint Colonial houses, take a tour through Marblehead Neck, which leads to the lighthouse. Marvel at the breathtaking views of Marblehead Harbor, birthplace of the US Navy, & a major sailing capital.

Marblehead’s most popular beach, Devereux, has plenty of picnic tables, playgrounds, and on-site restrooms. Gas House Beach is on Little Harbor. With a rocky shore and small boats anchored in tranquil, shallow water, the scene at Gas House is perfectly New England. Active visitors can enjoy a paddle at King’s Beach with views of Boston.

Sanctuary from Salem
We came to the North Shore to experience all things scary in Salem. Salem was enjoyable, but very crowded. It was amazing to have this home away the tourists. Walking distance to a wonderful restaurant Mission on the Bay and great shopping in Marblehead. Would love to come back and enjoy the patio during the warmer summer months.

Mildew/Mold
The bottom floor of this home was completely unlivable. It had a VERY extreme mildew smell and there was clear mold in the bathroom. The property was advertised having a queen bed, but we were unable to use it as anticipated due to it being located in the basement. Another one of the beds was just a small chair folded out. 2 of our guests had to unexpectedly sleep on the couch on the top floor. In addition, we were forced to come through the basement door any time we entered or left the home due to that being the door with the keypad lock. It would have made much more sense (and would have been more healthy) to have the keypad on the main door. We ended up holding our breath anytime we had to enter and exit the home through the basement. It was extremely disappointing and we felt very misled by the advertisement. The rental property (iTrip) was not helpful and just argued back and forth via email and refused to give a partial refund for the extreme inconvenience.

Don't Stay Here
I have nothing to gain from this review (the company wouldn't take our feedback seriously), other than to alert other people not to stay here. First, there is no key or code to the house. You have to go around, down an exterior stairwell, and in through the laundry room and then up to get in the house every time you enter. Good luck if it's raining or dark. The main living room lights don't work so you walk into darkness every time. A few blinds don't work, and there are bug traps throughout. Hand soap is provided, but thats it as far as amenities go. The upstairs twin bed is really a futon. There is no mattress. It's just couch pads with sheets on top. It's not comfortable, and there are no pillows in the house, but there are extra comforters that we used to make padding so it was somewhat doable. The king bed in primary room is fine. The bed downstairs; however, is the photo of the white couch you see and is really a pull out couch. The company will tell you it has a full size mattress so it's a true bed. Sure, but at the end of the day, it's a pull out couch and downstairs is stale and musty and hard to access with narrow, steep stairs. Regarding the smell, the company will tell you this is typical in older homes (note: we live in a 1910 home in Seattle and both my partner and I are in real estate for a combined 40+ years). The only concession we were offered was to stay at another property an hour north which was not feasible.

Great Location and views.
We used SeaCity view for 3 nights while we traveled around the area. So much is close to this location and easy to travel around and see. The home is comfortable and has everything you would need. Just beware you will have to climb 4 floors of stairs from basement to top deck. Not an issue for our group but could be troubling for others. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking.
