Great stay

Lovely house, very comfortable for 5-8 people, big back yard which the dogs loved. Conveniently located near Newburyport downtown. Would recommend!

Excellent location, 5 min from Newburyport. Quaint, nice place to stay. Back yard completely fenced, though side fencing is only about 4 feet high so if you have big dogs you may need to leash walk (just mentioning to help others, we would still have rented in a heartbeat!) Host very communicative and even let us check in an hour early.

Ladies weekend

Perfect spot for our yearly ladies weekend. We enjoyed bird watching, and the cozy outdoor space and proximity to shops and restaurants. We all slept well and agreed that the beds were some of the best of any Vrbo homes we have stayed at.Thanks again, we look forward to a return trip.

What a great cozy home and wonderful host. The house was exactly what we expected a quintessential New England cape. Perfectly located close to all of our favorite towns, wildlife reservation and beaches. The host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable and the house was very clean with extra touches like filtered water, luggage racks and plenty of games and puzzles if you get snowed in like we did. We can’t wait to come back in the summer months to enjoy the big back yard and the beaches!

January Visit

My family, including my two young children and mother, had a lovely stay here. The location is great for access to Newburyport and all the area has to offer. The house itself is cozy, the layout makes it spacious, and clean. We had a great time both out and about and hanging out together at the house playing games and doing puzzles. Thank you so much!

There was a problem with the hot water not being available one day. The door to the garbage drawer under the sink was broken.

Thank you, Alan, for your feedback. We take maintenance very seriously. I stayed at the house for some routine maintenance just a few weeks before your stay and there was no problem with the cabinet door to the pullout trash bin. It must have come loose in the days before your stay. When you reported it was broken, we offered to send a handyman, but you preferred to leave it as-is during your stay. We repaired it the day you checked out. Regarding the hot water, we haven’t been able to replicate any issues since installing a new water heater last month, even with a full household of family members staying. We wish we had known during your visit, so we could have investigated immediately. Any details you can share—like the number of showers or laundry loads—would help us provide accurate information to our plumber. We appreciate your stay and your input, which helps us ensure the house is always in top condition for everyone. We appreciate your stay and your input, which helps us continue to care for the house and ensure everything is in top condition.

It's home

A couple, a senior and a few adult children stayed for my daughter's wedding. I chose this house for the perfect bed/bedroom arrangement, and it delivered! High quality bedding and towels, plenty of paper products, well labeled lights, etc. The weather kept us indoors so we did not use the beautiful yard space which I imagine is lovely in the summer. While this house would accommodate eight adults I think that it would feel small if you were unable to use the outdoor space- there is just one living room, and the bedrooms do not offer chairs, etc. to invite you to linger there. Also, there are no dressers so you live out of your suitcase.This was one of the most well-appointed, inviting and cozy spaces we have ever rented. We would love to return if the need exists!

Thank you for your kind review and suggestions, Christine. I'm glad the house worked well for your family, especially on a special occasion like your daughter's wedding. We also appreciate your suggestions. It’s a shame the weather didn’t cooperate so you could enjoy the yard, but hopefully it will be sunnier if you come back in the future. We will be happy to host you again.
