Book a hotel near Castle Hill on the Crane Estate, Ipswich

"Moot Point was the perfect coastal retreat for my husband and I to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary! The location on Great Neck is peaceful and quiet, with local wildlife surrounding us. The house is adorable and as advertised - very cozy and comfortable with everything you need - and the deck and view from the backyard is stunning (especially the sunsets!). Moot Point is conveniently located to Cape Ann, Rockport, Newburyport, and Plum Island (to name a few). Denise was wonderful and very responsive. We can’t wait to return! "

"This property was perfectly located for our group. It was clean and had all the things you might need in a temporary rental. All members of the group, 4 generations, walked to local stores, restaurants, or just to enjoy the surroundings. Ipswich is a lively little town during the day but a very short walk or drive will take you to a quiet street filled with very very old houses or beautiful farmland or natural areas. If you are looking for a very quiet spot this might not work but it was perfect for us between pre wedding, wedding, and post wedding family activities. "

"The location was unbearable, short walk to quiet beach. Great communication and property as described "

"We spent a lovely girls week along the North Shore, with this beautiful little beach house as our home base. It was a little step back in time, which was just what we midwest girls were looking for. Hosts were responsive and helpful, cottage was clean and well-stocked. We were up high enough to get all the views of the ocean and sound, yet just a short walk to the rocky beach, and a few blocks to a sandy public beach. We had unseasonable cold while there, but stayed warm with the fireplace and room heaters, and enjoyed watching the storm and waves. Did not use any beach items, but the house was well-stocked. Modern appliances in great working order.*washer and dryer are in the basement, accessible only through outside doors. Stairs inside are narrow and bathroom spaces typical of an older beach home."

"The listing is accurate, stairs are steep and the property is certainly a classic. No issues, perfect for the wife and I and walkable to a cute downtown. Had dinner at the brewery and brunch at Heart and Soul, both were great."

"I visited my son for his birthday and stayed at this lovely little getaway. It had everything that you could possibly need and I could not be happier."
