"Check in staff were so helpful and kind. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and swim up bar. No coolers were allowed in pool area. Had to purchase their alcohol. We enjoyed our stay. This was our second time staying and first time we were able to use the pool. The A/C unit was loud, woke me up every time it kicked on. I ended up just turning it off. They had security at the entrances to the facility during after hours. We felt very safe and comfortable. Not sure why they needed security but it was a nice feature. We definitely recommend staying here. Such a close 5 minute or less walk to restaurants/downtown."

The Wave at Marblehead

The Wave at Marblehead

10/10 Excellent
"The Wave was a beautiful property in close proximity to the village of Marblehead. The small boutique hotel had an on grounds bar and restaurant, which is always a must for us. My only complaint was the food at the restaurant. I had a sticky rice appetizer, which had the smallest amount of fish possible and was very disappointing. The next night we ordered a roast beef sandwich. While the amount of meat was generous, the disappointing part was that it was served cold and felt more like a deli style sandwich than a hot cheesy roast beef that I had expected. For a $24 + 2 more dollars for fries I, again, expected more. The hamburger was delicious…so just a few minor adjustments and the property would be perfect."
