Cozy Cottage with Beautiful Sunset Views

This cute rustic cottage is well-situated for seeing beautiful sunsets across the bay. The kitchen had everything we needed and the house is located only a short drive from town. You can kayak directly from the property at high tide but with the twice-daily tides, the area near the house is mud for a large part of the day.

Sweet Cottage

Denise’s house is simply wonderful! It’s a cozy New England cottage with a lovely view of the marshlands and stairway access to the water for paddling at high tide. The deck outback is spacious and furnished with comportable furniture to enjoy beautiful sunsets. The interior is nicely decorated, and has great lighting. We did not cook our meals but easily found some great nearby restaurants. If you are looking for a quiet, charming cottage for 4 people in the Ipswich area you should check out Moot Point.

Cozy, Charming, Quiet

Impressively decorated with clever colors and accents that come together and makes it a very special place. My husband enjoys cycling and plenty of areas to explore. Rockport is a fun place to go and check out The Boat House for a great meal! I bothered Denise about things and she and her husband were very helpful! It was a delightful location and experience. Simply charming.❤️

Charming cottage with spectacular views

The location of Moot Point couldn't be better! Great Neck is a quiet enclave and very special because of the abundance of nature right in the neighborhood! Also a great jumping point to Cape Ann and other surrounding destinations. The cottage was clean and beds comfy. The hostess was very responsive and you can just tell that she cared that your vacation was satisfying and that your needs were met.

Fantastic cottage on the water

This is such a cute and quaint property in a beautiful location! It was so relaxing to enjoy morning coffee on the back deck while watching the wide variety of birds coming and going. No one wanted to leave, including the dogs :) I would definitely recommend this place over and over! Thank you Denise!

Wonderful cozy cottage in fantastic location

We loved staying in this delightfully cozy cottage in a beautiful location on the sound. We loved the personality of the home, which was comfortable and clean -- perfect for us to relax and enjoy our visit. We also enjoyed the gorgeous location -- what incredible views over the water and access to fantastic local beaches. It was also a perfect place for day trips to explore so many great sites along the coast. The host was responsive and we had everything we needed for our visit. We'd love to return!

This cabin's a keeper!

We just loved this cottage! We arrived in time for our first great sunset and woke up to low tide and accompanying wildlife show the next morning. My husband is an avid birder and he was in seventh heaven. A pair of deer spent several nights sleeping just over our wall on the lawn next door. They didn't seem bothered by the two dogs we had with us, and we enjoyed observing them as well. The beds were so comfy as was the overstuffed living room furniture we got to enjoy a it rained for the greater part of our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with pantry items, coffee, pots and pans, but bring any spices you may need beyond salt, pepper and garlic salt, LOL. Cape Ann has so much to offer. We look forward to staying in this cabin again next year!

The house was in a great location. We are cyclists and were able to do 4 great rides from the house. The house was very clean and cozy. The view was amazing. My husband’s favorite part was Kayaking. That is a great perk of the property. The owners are very nice and answer questions quickly. We would love to stay again!

Overall impression and suggestions

Overall, clean, comfortable, and effortless in terms of checking in/out, etc. Clear instructions, a nice welcome folder with lots of suggestions for places to go. We didn't cook, but the kitchen had everything. The view of the estuary was great. Beds were clean and comfortable. Overhead fans were helpful to keep temp. comfortable. My only issue was with the bathroom. The shower had great hot water, but it was a tight stand-up space, and not a full tub. The toilet was small and low to the ground. May not be an issue for some, but could be for someone with knee or back issues. There was no support bar to use as a pull up if needed, so someone could get stuck. There was a helpful reminder sign about not clogging the septic system, but using a lighter toilet tissue than the one provided (such as Scott's 1000) would also help in that regard.
