The house is listed as a "Pristine New England Beach House." If you read the entire listing, the owner states that "breathtaking sunsets" are "steps away on Ipswich Bay." This is not a beach house. The house is located in a forest. The nearby beaches and sunsets are not "steps away." When you spend more than six thousand dollars for 15 days at a "beach house," you notice these things. While the owner--who happens to live next door--is a competent, professional manager with excellent attention to detail, her description of the property and its proximity to Ipswich Bay and Diamond Cove is, at best, technically correct. The house itself is clean, pet-friendly, roomy, well-appointed, and practical for families with children. The granite steps leading up from the driveway to the front door would be difficult for older people, or for anyone with a disability or an injury. There are beach houses for rent in the area. If you want to see the water, this may not be the best place for you. If waterfront views are not important, this house is a good choice.
