The cottage was really cute and comfortable. I wish we had better weather as the kayaks would have been wonderful to use, especially with direct access to the water. I would love to visit again!

Moot Point is in a great area of Ipswich, easy access to anything you want. We were looking for time away from the city. We got beautiful sunsets, so many choices of hikes & amazing seafood. The cottage is well laid out, comfortable & very clean.

This charming beach house is beautifully appointed—especially the deck and the views. It was spotless and cozy and a very comfortable base for the four of us and our retriever to explore the area from. We’re very grateful to Denise for her clear and prompt communication…we hope to return!

This was our second stay in this lovely cottage. The views from the main bedroom as well as the living room are spectacular and ever changing. Watching the tide roll in and out, seabirds coming and going as well as wind surfers and clam diggers was restful and interesting. Ipswich is so close to other small coastal towns that it is very convenient to go exploring and not have to spend all day in the car. We enjoyed Russell’s Orchard (twice!) for cider donuts, Northern Lights Farmstand for the freshest produce, cut your own flowers and the cutest donkeys you’ve ever seen. Ipswich Seafood has fresh caught cod and haddock at great prices. Antique stores in Ipswich and Essex were fun to explore as well. We’ve already booked a return for next fall! Denise makes the process of booking and checking in very easy and she is easy to reach via email and responds quickly.

Amazing Views

Ipswich is a great place to stay especially at the home Moot Point which is located directly on the water. It also has access to a beach just a few minutes away. There are amazing views from the deck and lots of bird watching. The home is comfortable too.
