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 canât wait to return!
Perfect little cottage for my husband and I and our two dogs. Lots of day trips to see the sites and walk the dogs. Denise is a great host and easy to communicate with.
Loved our stay, would definitely recommend!
I had to come to the area for a family emergency. Denise was so incredibly accommodating to allow us a two night stay.
Itâs a beautiful spot that I would definitely return to for a vacation. Denise couldnât have been more helpful
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.
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.
My husband and i along with our dog Max have traveled from Wisconsin. The cottage was very clean and beautiful! We truly enjoyed our stay at Moot Point and if we travel that way again, we wilo definitely be staying there! Thank you for making our trip perfect!
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.
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.â€ïž
My family returned to this beautiful home this summer for a wonderful and restful vacation. This is a lovely home with incredible sunset views. Our host was so thoughtful and highly responsive to our needs during our stay. We recommend this home very highly!
Lovely, bright and cheery cottage on the water with the absolute best sunsets. Wonderful to sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful view or venture out to enjoy the multitudes of activities in the surrounding area. The owner Denise was communicative and informative and we would absolutely book this property again!
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!
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!
Deniseâs house is simply wonderful! Itâs 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.
My husband, daughter, and I had a wonderful stay in this lovely home this summer. The views are absolutely spectacular, and our stay was so quiet and peaceful. Our hosts attended to all the details to make our stay extra special including thoughtful gifts upon our arrival. We have recommended a stay here to our closest family and friends. We recommend a stay in this beautiful home highly. Thanks for such wonderful hospitality.
This house is in a wonderful location right on the water. It is cozy but had everything we needed for our vacation in Ipswich. It was also very clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed the great views of the water and using the two kayaks provided by the owner. We enjoyed exploring Ipswich and other surrounding towns. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Denise for a wonderful rental.
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 husbandâs 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!
Great place! Deer and ground hog visited us in the yard. Unfortunately the weather no so cooperative. Noseums also visited. Got some bug spray and smoker coils that took care of it!
Cottage was great. Did see awesome sunset one night and lightening storm another! Would definitely stay again!
Great place to unwind!
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!
Moot point is one of our favorite rentals in the area. Breathtaking views, amazing beaches, and access to kayaks for some really fun exploration. Check-in was seemless and the place was spotless and extremely comfortable. My only very small concern is that there was some poison ivy growing right under the storage area for the kayaks. It's possible that conservation regulations prevent removal, but it created a bit of a hazard for getting the boats in and out. If something could be done about this, it might prevent someone who isn't as familiar with the flora from having a bad experience. Or, if it cannot be removed, then maybe just hang a sign down by the boats so folks pay extra attention? Really though - this is an incredible place and our time there was extremely restorative!
My husband and I purchased this wonderful cottage on Great Neck in Ipswich in 2015 and we have been residents of Ipswich for more than 26 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 always nearby should you need anything...
This home was previously owned by a local Ipswich family who enjoyed it for over 30 years with their friends and family. It was originally called "Windswept" because the former family thought that the breezes sounded and felt lovely. They also playfully named the stairway access to the water "Runway to the Ocean". Nishan and I enjoyed hearing their stories and learning of their father's journal entries about his time there. We are hoping you will add your experiences to the journal we have left for you and future vacationers!
Nishan and I were immediately captivated by the amazing view/sunsets and the abundance of wildlife when we first visited this adorable cottage. We were thrilled with the idea that we might be able to drop our kayaks in right from our own property. We could immediately see ourselves calling this our retirement home, only we are no where near retirement! Nishan and I very much look forward to the days we can spend sipping cocktails on the deck, but for now we are happy to share our vision and dream with you!
