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!

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!

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!

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!

The house was exactly as listed and could not have been a better fit for our needs. Not one thing could be done to make the house better.

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 husband’s 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!

We stayed a week for our annual girls trip. The cottage was clean and spacious and the nightly sunsets were amazing. Our daily excursions seemed to be about 30 to 50 minutes away great home base. Would rent again!!!

Pros:
- Sunset views
- Comfortable beds
- Outdoor shower
- Window AC units in bedrooms
- Complimentary Skin-So-Soft
- Beach pass
- Internet speed
Cons:
- No beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, etc.
- No extra towels (1 per person)
- Ramshackle kitchen (mismatched glasses, no nonstick pans, messy drawers, etc.)
- Very old board games (missing pieces, boxes falling apart, etc.)
- No hooks on outdoor shower (for towels, clothes, etc.)
- House smells damp/mildew-y
- House generally dated and in need of investment
This house has the feel of a boat - it is small and cramped, smells damp, but has nice views.
Despite the proximity to the water and the availability of a beach pass, there were no beach supplies available to guests. I found it odd that the host told us to purchase beach towels at CVS. We ultimately did - but had to visit 3 stores to find some, which was not how we wanted to spend our vacation time.
Likewise, we did not use the kayaks, as we did not want to purchase life jackets.
This home seems like it might be a better fit for local guests that want to stay 1-2 nights on the North Shore and are willing to bring some basic comforts from home.
This was not a great fit for our family of four. Other homes that we have rented on the North Shore have been well-stocked with conveniences (coffee, cooking supplies, beach supplies, extra towels, etc.)
With some minor investment by the owner, this property would be much improved.
5.0
Overall, clean, comfortable, and effortless in terms of checking in/out, etc. Clear instructions, a nice welcome folder with lots of suggestions for places to go. We didn't cook, but the kitchen had everything. The view of the estuary was great. Beds were clean and comfortable. Overhead fans were helpful to keep temp. comfortable. My only issue was with the bathroom. The shower had great hot water, but it was a tight stand-up space, and not a full tub. The toilet was small and low to the ground. May not be an issue for some, but could be for someone with knee or back issues. There was no support bar to use as a pull up if needed, so someone could get stuck. There was a helpful reminder sign about not clogging the septic system, but using a lighter toilet tissue than the one provided (such as Scott's 1000) would also help in that regard.

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.
5.0
Very quaint place! Very clean and organized. The stairs down to the bay were super cool and my boys enjoyed collecting shells and sea glass during low tide. VERY close to downtown area. The scenery was amazing as well. The BBQ grill even had full propane and worked! I dont recall the last time we rented a place that the BBQ grill was actually functional! Will def be back!

Classic seasonal cottage over looking a wonderful seaside location. The owner has decorated it in a classic New England cottage feel. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.
5.0
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. We ate most of the meals at home out on the porch, watching the constant parade of birds, sunsets, etc. The neighborhood was very quiet, the views from the house over the water were amazing. We took a trip up to Plum Island, and spent a day there on the beach. As always, it appears you couldn't get a bad meal in the area if you tried. One meal at Seaport Grille in Gloucester was simply off the charts. Certainly worth the trip...excellent food, excellent portions, excellent pricing. Also we tried Choate Bridge Pub in Ipswich, and the clam chowder was outstanding. Denise was also very helpful. We never got to the kayaks, so we'll do that next time. Go, stay, enjoy!!!

Moot Point was our jumping off point to all the places we wanted to experience
The house was clean, beds were excellent and the sunset views from back deck perfection
The welcome packet: the Pavilion Beach pass, restaurant suggestions and local sightseeing brochures were much appreciated.
As a Trustee member I was able to get passes to Crane Breach daily

Lovely Stay
My husband and I had a great vacation in July at Moot Point. Denise was easy to communicate with and the house was lovely. Lots to do in the area and a great spot for coffee and meals just down the road.

Slice of Heaven
Enjoyed every minute of our time at Moot Point. Cozy gem with beautiful sunset views and great location to area beaches. Hosts were responsive and a pleasure to work with throughout the rental process.

perfect vacation
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!

Great cottage on the water
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is the perfect size for up to four people. The pictures accurately reflect the property. It was clean and very convenient to the town of Ipswich as well as other local towns including Newburyport, Rockport, Gloucester, Salem and Boston. The in contact during out stay to ensure we had what we needed. I would recommend this location.

Beautiful location
Moots Point was the perfect getaway. Quiet, comfortable and located really close to hiking trails that both we and the puppers enjoyed. The cottage is quaint and has kept some of the features of yesteryear that keeps it charming. It is decorated nicely. Using the gas heater stove was a really nice touch with the chilly nights. The beds were comfortable. Pet blankets were available to us to cover the couch. Having local takeout menus available to us is nice touch for delivery. I did cook most of our meals. There were plenty of pots, pans and bakeware to do so. The fridge, however, is a tad outdated and found some of our foods had frozen, (milk, lettuce and other veggies). The gas grill does not function properly, it only offered a 1/2 inch flame, on high, and would not cook our steaks. Thankfully, I can master one hell of a pan fry for a steak. The coffee maker is a very inexpensive appliance that we found out by default, does not have an auto shut off, 8 hours later, the smell of burnt coffee alerted us to this. I found this to be dangerous and disappointing with a higher price pointed property as well with the refrigerator and gas grill.
I would stay here again, because the sunsets were amazing and hope to find time in warmer weather to enjoy the local beaches.

Awesome stay in Ipswich
Such a great little house. Others had said the kitchen and bath need remodeling . I would agree- but you wouldn’t come here to have a fancy bathroom. This is like grandma’s house- in fact it reminded us our our grandmothers house in central Illinois. We loved the nostalgia of it . Would stay again!

Lovely place and unique location!
Loved our stay at Moot Point! Denise is a thoughtful and responsive host. House is cute, comfortable and well-stocked. Excellent location - on a hill / bluff with steps that take you to the water, incredible views of a tidal salt marsh, high enough up quiet and still close to all you’d need in Ipswich, plus close to beach and recreation areas. Views are amazing all day and at sunset! Watched clam diggers, boats and birds - saw a bald eagle, dozens of great and snowy egrets and great herons, a kingfisher, and numerous song birds and shore birds...highly recommend!
