Beautiful Views, 1 Mi to Beach! Ipswich Cottage

Host was very welcoming and communicative. The property was in a beautiful area overlooking the marsh and near some great walking trails. It was also very close to downtown and the train station, both 7 minutes away. From the station my young children, husband, and I were easily able to get to Salem within 20 min and into Boston within an hour. The cottage itself was warm, comfortable, had cable and the ability to watch Netflix. Everything was in working order. The beds and furniture were clean. The only drawback was the upstairs bed was broken so it was a bit lopsided and that they had not cleaned out the prior tenants old food or finished their laundry. This just meant that we had a bit to do for ourselves and then a bit to do when we left. Not bad, just inconvenient. As far as parking- we were given options and had no issues. Overall, a great stay!

The location was the reason we selected the property. A bit disappointing that kitchen equipment did not work, oven was not clean, coffee maker did not work and no microwave. There were a couple other items that needed updating. Pet friendly and owner did. communicate.

beautiful views; no privacy/adjacent to owner; interior could be charming but needs much work; access dirt track deeply rutted and dangerous to undercarriage of car.

The location was unbearable, short walk to quiet beach. Great communication and property as described

Enjoyed the accommodations! Rustic New England with all the charm that comes with it. Thank you!

We needed to vacate our home nearby for 4 weeks while it was undergoing extensive work. The proximity of Chris' property was perfect for us--we already know and love this historic small town, but enjoyed the peaceful space of this charming house, with its spectacular marsh views and stunning stars under clear, unencumbered sky. The house was cozy and comfortable for my husband and me and our two kitties. I'm sure it's even better in warm weather, with the ocean and the most beautiful beach in New England just a stone's throw away--but we were happy there even in the decidedly non-beach weather of March in Massachusetts. Chris was an attentive yet unobtrusive host. Most definitely recommend as a peaceful New England getaway destination.

The views were excellent! The house was perfect for a group! We could have used a microwave but the oven worked for heating up food. It was peaceful and quiet after roaming around Salem.

Cottage was okay. Location was good. Parking was poor. We had to drive up a grassy and leaf covered hill and park on sloping grass. Very difficult and unsafe. I have back issues and had to have my husband assist me to the house from our parking area. I

It was a really neat house, in a great location!! The house is clean. We liked to look at the marsh with the different birds and boats. Check in was easy,beds were soft. Didn't have to worry about much. The town was close, has great places to eat. Location was near Salem. Great time.

The house was as the pics showed. Wish there were a few more amenities like a micro, toaster and ac in the living room. Owner was great, so close to the beach, view was beautiful and I had a great time!
