We just keep coming back. Best cool house. Best location. Best property management. Best view! Next trip is already planned. What a great tonic to 2020!

The house was charming and comfortable. The owner was accommodating and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Everything about this place was great. We enjoyed the sunrise over the river and all day sunshine on the upper deck and the back patio for afternoon/evening relaxing and dining. I love to cook and this is the best stocked rental kitchen I have ever used. The beds, linens, and towels were high end the house is charming and old with some great modern amenities. Will stay again.

Enjoyed our stay immensely. Historic house and location, views of the water; terriffc amenities; close to so many things. We walked to shops and town, Jopppa Flats; rode bikes on the Clipper City Rail Trail; went kayaking; out to Plum Island; ate out, cooked in. Only thing we couldn't find was a whisk! Great communication with hosts.

Nicely appointed

The view from the deck is amazing. House was clean and comfortable. Location is perfect; short walk to center of town and a quick hop to plum island. Would recommend this place for sure

Enjoyed many evening dinners on the lower patio, retiring to the upper deck to take in the great views. You could not ask for a better location. Walking distance to town and a short ride to the beaches of Plum Island. Steve was an incredibly host and extremely responsive.

This properties location is perfect! Beautiful water views from the second floor deck and easy walk to the center of town. I just wish we could have stayed longer!

We had an amazing time in this charmer with all the comforts of home. The location was could not have been better, it really made exploring so easy. Steve was very helpful throughout our entire stay. We can't wait to come back.

We have stayed at this gem a number of times. Keep coming back because it is a wonderful place in a wonderful place! Water views on the roof top deck can not be beat. Grab your family friends and a bottle of wine !

Charming place...loved the old beams and crazy angles. Beautifully situated and comfortable. We would definitely visit again!

We stay in Newburyport when we come to visit our daughter and son in law and baby. This home has become our home base. Great spot nearby the best Newburyport restaurants. Unmatched view. Special owners. A perfect get away.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday family gathering here. We loved the fact that the historic character of the house remained lovingly preserved while the bath and kitchen renovations made the home very comfortable. Steve was very accommodating and generous. I hope to return!

Very clean. Beautiful modern kitchen. Very charming. Close to town. Across street from Merimac River Estuary beautiful view.

I actually live in Nbpt but had to be out of my house for renovations. I have a very nice house from the late 1800s (not as old as this house) but it certainly doesn't have the view this place does. This house is the epitome of old New England charm with it's wood beams in the ceiling and old wide pine floors and shingled siding. It was warm, cozy and quiet. I would stay here again in a heart beat and I will be sure to recommend it to friends/family that are visiting and prefer their own space. Thank you for sharing your home, not only to me but to my two Shih Tzus as well.

My husband and I loved the ambience of this home, the location to downtown Newburyport and the restaurants close to us! I loved the modern kitchen and prepared meals for our special occasion of Valentines Day / Presidents Day. I recommend this home for couples and a small family to vacation near the gorgeous beaches and shopping! Steve has his house well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms!! Love, love this place! 💕

This is the second time we have stayed at 164 Water Street. Love it even more! Stroll the streets of Newburyport, enjoy seafood by the water, sip wine on the deck of this gem. Thanks for the perfect spot!

Great little Newburyport location with a lot of charm and character. Loved the ability to walk to town and make a quick run down to the beach....and the sunsets from the deck off the living room were awesome.

We had a fabulous stay in this perfectly located house. We spend great time with our 3 teenagers at Salisbury Beach (10 min by car) and Boston (1 hour drive). We enjoyed Newburyport's restaurants and boutiques at a walking-distance from the house. The upper deck is a great spot to have a glass of wine while looking at the sunset colored sky. We just left and we already want to go back! We also enjoyed the historic district walking tour we made with the help of the guides we found in the living room! Thanks for that too!

We spent the month of June at 164 Water Street and are still swooning!The home sits on the south end of this charming port town and it is an easy walk to everything including great restaurants, shops and the river walk. This house gives you a great home base for all the activities of Newburyport. But don't think it is only about Newburyport or the beaches of Plum Island. This home is a step back into history and is very special. First, the deck! Starting the day with coffee watching the sun rise from the deck is spectacular. Late afternoons, our favorite entertaining always started on the deck overlooking the water. Cool breezes were almost always there to refresh us. Our next favorite spot, the courtyard! Always provided a great spot to BBQ and enjoy dinner when we took a break from eating out. The gourmet kitchen brings a high level of sophistication to the home and we loved cooking inside too! The owner responded to any questions in a flash. Even told us the home's history which added to our appreciation of this home. We already booked our next trip to Newburyport and love knowing we will be back at our favorite spot on Water Street in October!

Overall ok; very rustic which was not indicated in the website photos. We arrived during a hot spell and the room AC were loud and generally not very efficient making for some stuffy nights. One of the bed mattresses were not up to standard. Overall, ok. The venue is truly worthwhile, the town is charming and the week was worth repeating
