Brief breath of sea air
Holly House is a remodeled Victorian house. My brother and I were looking for a place with two bedrooms, and we were very comfortable with the two spacious rooms we found. The living room is a good place to relax, and we appreciated the full kitchen where we could do some cooking. The gardens surrounding the house are very pretty. We were a bit concerned about the location along Linebrook Rd., but what traffic there was - Ipswich "rush hour" - didn't disturb us very much, and it was very quiet at night. Holly House is quite close to the town center and is well situated for reaching the beaches, walking trails, restaurants and shopping. We were pleased that a grocery store was nearby. We'd come back and would recommend the place to others.

Perfect spot to explore Boston history
We took our Nephew to the area because he is a huge history nut. The rental was perfect to get in and around Boston. We took the train in from Ipswhich which was super convenient. Highly recommend this rental.

Hidden Gem
This property is beyond perfect! The yard and private sitting area is well maintained and there is plenty of parking space. The interior was spotless and decorated with so much thought and the Victorian decor was cozy yet beautiful. Our hosts were easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions we had. On top of all the charm and elegance the home is located next door to a lovely historic restaurant with delicious food and tasty cocktails. If we ever travel back to Ipswich we will be staying here again!

Clean stay for wedding weekend
We stayed 5 nights for wedding festivities. Pros: exceptionally clean, well equipped, lovely landscape Cons: tired furnishings, odor in entry hall so we used back entrance, mattress uncomfortable, shower faucet failed and could not be shot off, toilet handle broke off in our hand, the glass shower door came off the track. The owners responded within a half hour to our call for help and had the plumbing was repaired same day but I think the whole thing could have been avoided if their cleaning crew reported the problems prior to our arrival. No reimbursement was offered for our inconvenience.

Lovely Apartment in Ipswich
This lovely apartment is only a mile from downtown and next to one of the best restaurants in Ipswich. It is very well stocked for cooking and there is an alcove and outside patio for eating. We only stayed two nights but hope to return for a longer stay.

Nice Midweek Getaway
The house was charming. Lots of windows made it bright and cheery, but at least one window was left unlocked (ground floor). It was clean, but there were a good number of ants in the kitchen around the dishwasher. The 3 window air conditioners adequately cooled the place, in spite of the ghastly hot weather we had while there. The restaurant next door was closed when we visited, so no review on the food. It was close enough to our accommodations that noise probably would have been an issue had it been open so it was just as well. Parking was great, close to shopping.

Lovely Traditional Home
Great location to visit beaches, Newburyport and various museums. Nice apartment with comfortable beds and good sized rooms. Next door to the fabulous Hart House restaurant and close to downtown Ipswich. Denise was wonderful and checked on us during our stay to be sure we had all we needed. Beautiful backyard with grill and outdoor dining. Good for small family group.

Lovely house in a beautiful area
We loved our stay. The town of Ipswich is beautiful and the location of this lovely home is within an easy drive of Salem and Gloucester. The house is well equipped and decorated according to the age and style of the house. The shower was nice and powerful, which is always a plus. The only improvements in our opinions were that the mattresses could do with replacing. They were very soft. Also the couch seats in the living room could be replaced/refilled. These small things did not take away from out stay. Thank you so much

Nice apartment in convenient location
The apartment was clean, well kept, and in a convenient location to a number of amenities. There is a restaurant next store in case you dont want to drive the 2 minutes into the historic town center for dinner. Communication was clear and everything was smooth. We would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Charming, clean, & wonderful location
Had business in Lynnfield, but didn't want to stay in a hotel. This lovely VRBO was well worth the 25-30 min. drive. It's a perfect location to explore, it was clean, had everything needed, and was absolutely charming. Will definitely stay here again if back in the area. Plan some time just to relax with your favorite beverage in the comfy den. While Hart House is a little out of my personal price range, I did have one of the best Old Fashioned ever at their Tavern bar (inside the same house at the restaurant). A local provided the tip, so I'm passing it along! So much to do so close to the home! Perfect combination!

Wonderful home for a north shore getaway!
The house was everything we wanted for a girls long weekend getaway. It's extremely cozy and clean with the comforts of home. Just a mile from downtown Ipswich, it's also very close to Marini Farm, conservation trails and right next door to the 1640 Hart House. Definitely make reservations there. We can't recommend a stay here enough!
