Beautiful location, quiet neighborhood, with a sandy beach steps away. Jeff (host) was incredibly kind and responsive. The house has very comfortable bedrooms with a downstairs open floor plan to not feel crowded at all. (We had 6 adults and 1 infant). The quaint downtown of Ipswich is a short drive. Highly recommended.

This house was perfect! It was on the water with a great beach area, plenty of space for the 7 of us, with great amenities. My grandchildren were with us ages 8 down to 8 months. Having a washer and dryer available was a plus (if needed) with little ones. The dishwasher was great, as well. The house and grounds were pristine. There was a great little playground down the street which the kids enjoyed. With close proximity to Salem, Gloucester, and Rockport, we had plenty to do. Our host was easy to communicate with and lived in close proximity to our rental. My daughters and grandchildren want to go back and stay in the same place and further explore the Cape Ann area. We loved it. You can't go wrong with the Anchor Inn property!

THE BEST!

This cottage was by far the best place my sisters and I have stayed. We go away every summer and winter. Our roots in New England, we seem to go back there often. We visited other family who had health issues and as a result we were unable to stay as much in the cottage as would would have liked to. Jeff was one of the kindest hosts allowing us a little later checkout.

Beautiful home in a wonderful neighborhood

We couldn’t have asked for more out of our week staying here. Jeff is fantastic to communicate with, extremely helpful, and just all around kind! The home has absolutely stunning ocean views, and was very well stocked with anything we could need, including firewood and kindling in both the outside fire pit and inside (which we used on a rainy day for a wonderful afternoon of games and indoor fun). Can’t say enough good things about this property!

Couldn't be better

This property is among the very best rentals my family and I have stayed at. It is very clean (important to us), the host, Jeff, really couldn't be more helpful and the views are spectacular. We had the unexpected pleasure of being there to watch a blizzard outside our windows and that was really cool. Jeff stayed in contact with us during the blizzard to make sure we were okay (we were fine and happy the power stayed on) and as the storm wound down he came right over and cleared all the snow. It's an easy 5 star rating here.

Family Gathering

My husband and I came in for the weekend to meet up with our daughter and her husband. The house had everything we expected... a wonderful view, places for the family to sit and and enjoy the peace that comes from the sounds of the water rolling and out. We had everything we needed for a quiet weekend, the kitchen was nicely supplied with all sorts of gadgets, and the needed skillets, pots and such. We had board and card games which we played and books. The wifi worked without issue and of course we did use that as one of us had some business to attend to. There are windows in every room showing the beautiful views and wonderful outdoor areas for sitting in. We watched sailboats, clam diggers, little kids and people that went out for a swim when it was in the 50s so many things to see right outside the door. Really enjoyed our time

The Great Neck House Was Perfect for Us

We came to Ipswich to attend our granddaughter’s graduation ceremony. Since we had 4 other adult relatives also wanting to attend, we decided to rent a house. We looked at several locations, but the house on the Great Neck shore really caught our eye. It minimized the driving time to the graduation festivities, looked roomy and offered many a scenic view from off the bed room porches. When we arrived, the owner personally checked us in. He mentioned that he lived right in the neighborhood, so if we ever had a problem or question, he was not far away and we had his phone number. We thought this was a splendid arrangement, however things went so well that we didn’t ever have to contact him. The owner also had someone graduating and he sat a few rows in front of us at the graduation ceremony. He later texted us with photos of our granddaughter when she gave her speech. I thought that was a very nice thing to do. Our party really enjoyed out stay, even though the weather eventually turned rainy and cool. We lit a fire in the fireplace and enjoyed that very much. It drafted very well and cleaning up the ashes afterwards was extremely easy. The owner had plenty of firewood for either the fireplace or the fire pit on the beach. I got a lot of comments from everyone concerning how well satisfied they were with the house. We used the kitchen a lot, and were very happy with it. We would all be happy to rent this house again.

Perfect gathering place

Our extended family lives in the Ipswich area, and the house was an ideal place for the out-of-towners to stay and the family to gather during the Thanksgiving weekend. Incredible sunrise over the water if you are up early enough, and it was wonderful to practically feel the pull of the tide and witness the wildlife in action out the big beautiful windows from every view. Our hosts were very kind and welcoming, and the house was clean and comfortable. Thank you!

Beautiful views!

The house was beautiful and was perfectly located on the beach. The fire pit was perfect to sit at and watch the ocean. We rode the train into Salem to learn about the witch trials and do some shopping. There is even a winery a little down the road. The food is amazing and the house is perfect for 5 of us to get away. Jeff, the contact for the property met us when we got there and already had a fire in the fireplace for us and was available if we needed anything. We would love to visit again and stay at this property.

Exceeded expectations

Owner Jeff lives close and made it a point to reach out day prior to communicate and coordinate arrival, even offering an early check in if needed. He also personally greeted us to do a brief tour of the place and being a chilly, rainy day, even had a welcoming fire going in the fireplace. Jeff however was never obstrusive for the course of the stay, he respected our privacy. The place was exceptional, from the amazing views of the bay, wildlife and boats, to the location (steps from the beach), to amenities, cleanliness, parking, etc. The stay could not have been better. We've been in a lot of VRBOs, this one was a definite standout - highly recommended.

Great house, spectacular location

Myself, my wife and two other couples stayed for a long weekend to attend a nearby wedding and hit the beach. I can confidently say this is one of the best vacation homes I've stayed at. The home is nice and had everything we needed but more importantly the views and the beach access were perfect. There's a big yard for gatherings, a beautiful firepit and stairs right down to Pavilion Beach. As for the hosts, Jeff was extremely helpful. He met us on the way in and the way out and even helped smooth things over when one of our guests accidentally entered a neighbor's home and used their facilities. It was great to hear about his family's connection to the location and to know he was nearby if we needed help. All in all any time we're heading to Ipswich or nearby we'll consider returning. An excellent stay.

If you’re a fan of the beach, you truly can’t beat the location of this rental!!

My friends and I had the best weekend celebrating my wedding on the north shore! We used the rental property as home base for the groomsmen, and Jeff was the kindest host welcoming us with open arms. The house has so much great family history, picture perfect views from every room, large decks over looking the water, a grassy yard ideal for hanging in the sun, and steps from the beach. Can’t forget the fire pit! My wife and I hope to stay here again! Thank you Jeff, and the French family, for having us!
