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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Fall getaway

This is a great base location. We enjoyed a day touring Ipswich, a day at Crane Castle and Beach, 2 days touring Salem, a day in Boston, and spooky visits to Lizzie Borden's House and the Conjuring House. The kitchen was well stock with the basics for making meals and having laundry facilities allowed us to pack light.

This is a beautiful Victorian house that is very nicely decorated and has lots of light. My friend and I felt very comfortable there. The rooms have air conditioners and/or a ceiling fan, which was fortunate because it was hot out and it's on the second floor.

4 Days at Holly House

The apartment is bright, spacious and immaculate, with a large kitchen and a private access from a back staircase. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with a back yard appointed with umbrella tables and chairs which provided us a pleasant area to read and enjoy take-out meals. This--as well as lots of room for parking--was an unexpected bonus. The entire property is obviously well maintained and a good base for exploring the area.
