About the host

Host profile image

My husband and I purchased this beautiful Victorian 2 family home in Ipswich in 2019. We have been residents of Ipswich for more than 28 years! In fact, you will be right around the corner from our neighborhood when you go to Marini Farm for fresh produce and baked goods. We are very involved in our community with my Windhill Real Estate business and my husband, Nishan, having been a town selectman for the past several years. We are often nearby should you need anything. We are not new to the vacation rental business-we have another Premier Partner listing on Great Neck, Ipswich. You can check out our ratings on VRBO as a premier partner by search property # 763198 .

Why they chose this property

We immediately fell in love with the lovely gardens, convenient location and historic charm of this 1880 Victorian home. It reminded us of some of the New England Bed and Breakfasts one might see along the coast.

What makes this property unique

Our hope is to bring guests the charm of a Bed and Breakfast but with the space of a full dwelling including a fully equipped kitchen! Why share a bathroom with other guests and be confined to one bedroom while visiting the area when you can have the B & B charm WITH the privacy and space of a full apartment?
