    Everything was as stated even though we had a tough time getting in touch with the past property manager but the owners reached out as our time was approaching and everything went so smoothly. It was a perfect location for a family reunion/celebration with close friends and family. The gardens were beautiful and the location couldn't have been better! We would love to return in the future.

    The property was amazing as ever and because of its excellent location, with the sea as a dark backdrop, we were able to view the stunning northern lights this week!...making our stay this year even more magical. Thank you for making such a wonderful place available to us. We look forward to our stay next year!

    The property was excellent, but the property manager Bruce Warren was listed in the book and was no longer available and did not call back. We finally used the correct number for new manager and had good results getting a technician to review an ice maker not working, refrigerator required defrosting service and proper leveling and no availability of beach chairs kayak that others tenants had had in the past. It is a beautiful beach, linens and kitchen tops and we hope to get back next year. We also had a front row seat of fireworks on July 3rd.

    This is the most beautiful estate we have ever stayed in. The home is expensive. The gardens are gorgeous and the beach is lovely and private. We were all very sad to leave

    We could not love this place more! We just finished our third year of coming to this step-back-in-time lovely home. Everything is just perfect! Having access to a private beach, swimming in the ocean in October, watching the sunrise and sunset, running along the country roads, playing pickle ball in the nearby courts, shopping for groceries five minutes away in a hallmark-sequel town—idyllic!! Caretakers are responsive and kind. The furnishings are old, but are authentic and only add to the ambience. We love the Grafton home and will be there again and again!

    Our group traveled to Manchester for a family wedding and this was the perfect place to set up camp. We had plenty of space to all be outside and inside. Loved the huge dining table and all of the outside areas. Would definitely rent again.

    This is a fabulous property. Plenty of room for 8 adults and 5 kids to sleep and just hang out in the brisk Massachusetts Fall weather. The private beach was a terrific spot to fly kites, walk, climb the near island (at low tide). Big kitchen and dining room table made meals easy. Definitely recommnend this for extended families.

    The house, the garden, the sea will take your breath away. Each room in the house has it's own little pleasures. There was plenty of room for everyone and accommodations for everyone. I personally liked what I called the Victorian room because that's the first thing I though of when seeing it. Cozy room with books, writing desk, fireplace and massive window. The formal dining room was quite beautiful as was the formal living room, each with it's own characteristics. The sunroom was outstanding.. I would recommend adding another large refrigerator as there is only one big one and for us, it was a struggle. Also, a bigger microwave would come in handy.. So, be aware of that. Other than those, the kitchen areas held everything you could want. The grounds and the garden were magnificent, well kept and just gorgeous. Magical. The walk and stairway to the beach was just great for most folks. It could be a little hairy for senior citizens so be aware of that. But this senior citizen did manage it, so there you go. The private beach on the ocean, which is at your door, was definitely a wonderful experience making memories with the family.
