Beautiful, friendly and relaxing

If we could have a home away from home this would be it. Absolutely lovely host, beautiful property, and great central location to so many places. The property was quiet. The pool was refreshing after a long day. We had everything we needed provided up front by the host.
Friendly horse says hello.

Lovely pool and large airy apartment

This lovely, quiet farm is a welcoming retreat from the big city hustle and bustle but is close to restaurants, historic Ipswich, polo and several beaches.. This was our second visit and hope to visit again soon.

It was perfect!! A pool right outside my door, beautiful decor and very up to date appliances. Most of all Laurel and Bill could not have been nicer! A barn full of horses, sheep and chickens was a delight for my grandson. Already planning on staying again!

Best place to stay

This property perfectly met our needs. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and close to the town. Our hosts were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. They were a wealth of knowledge about the area and local sites. Having the farm animals made it more memorable.

This is the first time we have stayed somewhere multiple times. We came last year and loved the place so much we booked it for this year before we even left. It is perfect for us. The owners are so nice they are like family. We love the horse and sheep and visit them daily, along with the beautiful and well behaved dogs. The bed is super comfortable with is very important to us. I have never felt more comfortable at a VRBO.

The stay was like being at home, very comfortable. The view was very pretty cool too. We got to see horses, chickens, goats and mini pony’s. I am pretty sure I saw a bald eagle fly over the pool when I was sun bathing. Our hosts were so friendly and pleasant to talk too. This rental has everything you need. Wish we could have stayed longer!
