About this cottage rental

Nestled in Rowley, this lovely cottage for $581 per night is a great option for your next break. The cottage name is "High Tide" and is truly a hidden gem! It's located on a small island/peninsula called Little Neck in Ipswich MA that not many know about. Little Neck is a gated, private community where you can step back in time, relax, enjoy family time or begin a new adventure. It's a Seasonal property and only rented May - October. Off season May, September and October there is a one week minimum rental. Peak season June, July and August there is typically a two week minimum rental. The 100 year old cottage has been updated with all the modern amenities to make it easier to relax and enjoy the spectacular views but has kept its historical charm and roots. It boasts water, beach and sand dune views from every room, the beach is about 100 yards away, includes access to kayaks, a private community dock and two kids playgrounds. High Tide sits on a small hill overlooking the water with spectacular views of Crane Beach known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Northeast, as well as views of Plum Island, Gloucester and the Ipswich River salt marshes. “High Tide”, is the quintessential vacation cottage, complete with wrap around porch and rocking chairs to enjoy the fabulous sunrises and sunsets. The place is clean, spacious and well cared for. There are 4 good sized bedrooms, a generous sized amenity stocked kitchen, a large dinning room to accommodate a crowd for a lobster bake, a sunroom to enjoy your morning coffee, a large porch for coffee, afternoon cocktails or a place to nap, a family room with gas fireplace, and a must try outdoor shower. Each bedroom has a water view. The primary bedroom has a king bed with smart TV, 2nd bedroom has a queen, 3rd bedroom has a full and the 4th bedroom located on the first floor has two twin beds. Amazing place to watch the sunrise and sunset, and has the perfect night sky for stargazing! Comes with some beach chairs, beach toys and a wagon to bring your stuff to the beach. It includes two flat screen smart TVs, WiFi, washer and dryer, Weber gas grill and some air conditioners when needed. Ipswich has great restaurants, is rich in history with historical houses to visit, the best homemade ice cream around, easy access to Crane Beach Estate and so much more. It’s close to other cities and towns to explore including Rockport, Newburyport, Gloucester and only and hour north from Boston. See details under location tab. The Little Neck community has a schedule of social events for the season that you're welcome to join in. Typically most weekends there is an adult or family event such as a beach bonfire and roasting marshmallows or a lobster bake on the beach. There is a "coach" that plays organized games with the kids on the ball field each morning Monday - Friday and is free to those kids who don't require a babysitter. Everyone who has visited or stayed at High Tide has remarked what a hidden gem it really is...

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this charming home with gorgeous views of Ipswich River and Bay. The house is both cozy and open and nicely located to enjoy all that the North Shore has to offer.

The cottage is well taken care of. The sunroom was delightful and spent many hours there looking at the water. The sunsets from the porch were amazing and one evening we had a bagpiper playing down by the beach. A month before our visit we sent an email to confirm some questions. We never heard back till a few days before we were to be there It was vey unsettling for us as we had a long drive ahead The owner asked us to text her when we were 30 minutes from the house and she would meet us there and show us around. We never heard back from her. After we arrived she texted us she could stop later but we needed to go out to buy food We loved the house overall

This was our 2nd year staying at High Tide and it was wonderful. We didn't have the best weather but it honestly didn't matter. My daughter posted on her instagram account a beautiful picture view from the porch "see you again next year!"

HighTide continues to be an outstanding place to vacation. Great location, wonderful views, everything one could want inside & out. Super location for enjoying outdoor activities, both on Little Necks and elsewhere off-island. Linda & Peter are outstanding hosts - helpful & responsive when any questions come up but respectful of your time at the cottage. Couldn't give anyone a higher recommendation.

Nothing short of Wonderful!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to find ourselves restoring our sanity at High Tide. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. The house was so comfortable. The front porch is the best place to spend the day just relaxing. The master bedroom has the most comfortable bed I think I have ever slept in. Linda, the owner was so kind and thoughtful. Our flight was cancelled ☹ and we had to scramble and rebook a flight that didn’t get us to the house until about 9:30 p.m., almost 12 hours later than expected, but Linda was there to greet us and make us feel welcome. The neighbors invited us over for a glass of wine and made us feel like family. I could go on, and on, and on… So, as I said, I can’t say enough good things about our experience. But one thing for sure, we will be back. Assuming we can find an open week.

We picked this location for our fall tour of New England and we weren't disappointed. The view from the front porch/deck was soothing and relaxing. We found the area to be a choice location to find local seafood at its finest. This was considered a 5 star vacation and I thank the owners for the opportunity to have stayed there.
