Comfortable and convenient

Holly House is a very clean, comfortable and convenient property! Denise thought of every detail down to automatic night lights, house slippers and child gate for safety. Bethany had the house spotless upon our arrival and the accommodations were spacious. Thank you for a wonderful visit…we are sure to return and recommend to others!

Great stay

My kids and I stayed for two nights in February from Washington state. Was cold and snowy/icy and the apartment was warm, cozy and inviting. Steps were salted every day.Would definitely stay next time we come back to the area

Perfect location, clean & comfortable

So many thoughtful details. Extremely comfortable beds, quality linens, responsive hosts, proximity to beaches, surrounding quaint towns, local, restaurants, and the train to explore even more. We had a great time with Holly House 2 as our home base. For sure will return to this spot!

Location!

We were attending a family event in Ipswich and needed a place to stay. The condo offered a great location and all the comforts of home. The condo is close to town, the beach and the locals are very friendly.

Perfect Place for our Family Stay

We loved this property. It had all we needed for our stay on the North Shore. We loved how everything was set up for our stay. Our kids enjoyed playing the board games in between outings. We enjoyed Russel Orchards and Appleton Farms and loved our time in Ipswich. Great gratitude for such a lovely stay.

Great Place in a Beautiful Area

Holly House was a beautiful home. It is clean and located in a convenient location, yet out of the way from the town hustle and bustle. We had a wonderful mother/daughter trip visiting a friend, touring the areas of Boston and Salem, as well as learning more about Ipswich and its history.

Ipswich treat

Ipswich is a town with good folk. The VRBO was an easy walk to a friendly New England village. From the brewery to the restaurants it was a great place to unwind and feel like a local.

clean, beautiful home

This may be the most immaculate and well-maintained VRBO I've ever stayed in! It had everything we needed, in a bright, airy apartment, close to the walks and beaches, with lots of restaurants a short drive away. We were able to cook full meals in the kitchen, and enjoyed the comfy spaces for hanging out on our friends-cation. I would definitely recommend the Holly House!

Extended stay in Ipswich

We found Denise's property to be charming, immaculate, light filled, well equipped and convenient. We could walk downtown and easily access the surrounding towns and beaches by car. We loved being next door to the 1640 House and its wonderful restaurant. It was just two of us but there is plenty of room for four. We would definitely rebook should we return to the area.

Excellent

The property was very clean and in order as per our expectation. In addition the owner needed our comment directly. As per our request she added additional instrument and service during our stay. She was very efficient and she is proud of her property.

Good locations but....

Great location for us to explore the area between Newburyport and Manchester. It was a very basic apartment. No dishwasher. I should have noticed that in the description. The issue for us were the mattresses. Very low quality and not comfortable. Even my 14 year old complained and she never complains.

Great place to stay

The apartment was adorably decorated and immaculately clean on our arrival. The host reached out to us to be sure our check in was smooth, which it was. On our departure day it snowed and someone had already shoveled and salted the walkways and stairs before we left at 8am. The only downside was the radiator heat in the bedrooms when you shut the doors - we either had to sleep with the door open or with a window open and door shut. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay for the weekend. Would recommend to a friend.

Home away from home.

The apartment was the perfect location to visit with my sisters family just north towards Newbury port and take in Ipswich. Hope to come back in the spring or summer and explore the town some more.

Perfect location to catch the train into Salem and short drives to Gloucester and Rockport. Loved our little home away from home. Nice that there is a beautiful restaurant right next door. Would 100% stay here again!!
