The Holly House was a wonderful accommodation for my daughter and myself. The property was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Additionally its location was wonderful for exploring Ipswich or any of the surrounding areas. The only problem was I didn’t want to leave!

We love Holly house

We stayed in the first floor apartment of Holly House this trip. It was so comfortable and homey. We love that it is right next door to the Harte House restaurant. Thank you Denise for this great stay.

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.

Perfect location & design.

Beautifully remodeled 1880 Victorian keeping the authenticity and charm with some modern touches. The grounds are lovely with ample parking. We were visiting family for 3 weeks & the location was exactly in the middle of all.

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.

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.

Thank you, Stephen, for the lovely review! I was too quick on my phone when reviewing you and accidentally gave you 4 stars on cleanliness. Not true at all!! You were impeccable guests and a pleasure! I will see if I can amend this. I hope you will return!

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.

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!

Wonderful VRBO find!!

The rental was beautifully appointed and extremely clean. The location was central to all with a lovely restaurant right nearby. We enjoyed exploring the Ipswich/Essex area of the state. Occupants were myself(senior) and my 30's daughter. Though we live in MA, we had never spent time in this part of the state. Very quiet unit, full kitchen, and updated bathroom. Nothing more to ask for!

Had I been notified on your first day there, I would have immediately contacted the upstairs guests. We have noise limit policies in place for this reason! It is unfortunate that these people were not considerate but there is most certainly something I could have done about it.

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!
