- "Check in was super easy! GPS took us right there. Directions were super clear to get inside. This place was just what we needed. It had the perfect amenities. I brought my son’s family that has 4 kids under 7. We didn’t spend much time at the house but there is a tiny piano that the kids loved playing. There is a bench seat at the table that was perfect for the little ones to sit at. There was a play pen and a crib to use. We came to Maine to visit the beaches. It was about a 25 min drive to Wingersheek Beach and Long Beach. There are a couple of nice beach chairs for you to use. There is a nice back entry area where we could take our sandy clothes and shoes off to not spread sand through the house. We absolutely loved the shower head!! The towels were soft and they smelled amazingly clean. Everyone slept well. Each room has its own air conditioning unit. There were lots of extra blankets. The house, although old did not have any bad odor. It was very, very clean!! We were all very sad to leave. We did not spend any time in Ipswich but noticed lots of places we would like to eventually come back to visit."

- "Enjoyed the stay very much. Place was very clean and had everything we needed. Neighborhood is very nice and very quiet. Front rooms are off Main Street, could be noisy for some but we sleep hard. House is one of 3 apts on site. Some noise can be heard during the day but quiet hours at 10 made it seem like we were on our own. Would stay again." - "Great spot for our overnight. House was spotless, 3 comfortable bedrooms, convenient location. We did not use the porch day bed, but I do think it would be a bit noisy out there, great for kid or teen with the game, but not quite as comfortable as the other 3 rooms.,would stay again for sure"

- "This was a great location. Easy walk into town to eat or shop, but right on a main route that made reaching my stepson's place easy. Extra tall people might have difficulty with low rafters in this "treetop" apartment; but if you have no problem with a tall staircase, it will be a pleasure." - "We had a wonderful time staying at this apartment. I will say the pictures and description are absolutely accurate, so expect what you see. For us it was perfect.I'm 6' tall as is my oldest son and there was lots of crouching and ducking, but for a few days it was just fine. The stairs were good exercise for us with all the great food we were eating. The place was super clean, and the location central to everything we wanted to do in Gloucester and in Newburyport. The hosts were great and responded to all our questions quickly and made it easy to rent from them. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you!"

- "We came to Ipswich to attend our granddaughter’s graduation ceremony. Since we had 4 other adult relatives also wanting to attend, we decided to rent a house. We looked at several locations, but the house on the Great Neck shore really caught our eye. It minimized the driving time to the graduation festivities, looked roomy and offered many a scenic view from off the bed room porches. When we arrived, the owner personally checked us in. He mentioned that he lived right in the neighborhood, so if we ever had a problem or question, he was not far away and we had his phone number. We thought this was a splendid arrangement, however things went so well that we didn’t ever have to contact him. The owner also had someone graduating and he sat a few rows in front of us at the graduation ceremony. He later texted us with photos of our granddaughter when she gave her speech. I thought that was a very nice thing to do. Our party really enjoyed out stay, even though the weather eventually turned rainy and cool. We lit a fire in the fireplace and enjoyed that very much. It drafted very well and cleaning up the ashes afterwards was extremely easy. The owner had plenty of firewood for either the fireplace or the fire pit on the beach. I got a lot of comments from everyone concerning how well satisfied they were with the house. We used the kitchen a lot, and were very happy with it. We would all be happy to rent this house again."

Very quiet farm setting. Newly remodeled and furnished apartment in private residence. Walkout access to pool area to swim and relax. Walking trails near by. Trustees of Reservation properties nearby. Beaches nearby. .

- "We have used vrbo for years, this was one of if not the number one place we stayed. This is a perfect couple's getaway. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but you are six minutes from restaurants. You can hide away in the modern and immaculately clean rental, go through your sliding glass door to the inground pool, or ask Laurel to introduce you to the animals on site. Laurel was amazing. She lives on site, will give you complete privacy, text daily to see if you need anything, suggest restaurants only locals know about, and answer any questions you may have. Check in was super easy and the fridge was stocked with local eggs, butter, cream, and baked goods. Coffee pods were stocked and the Keurig was top notch. Super thoughtful. After you check in you really dont feel the need to go anywhere. I didnt want to leave a review. I'm selfish and would love to keep this a hidden gem but our stay was so amazing I had to make sure I posted a 5 star review."

The beds were comfortable and the sheets smelled so good. Thank you for a wonderful three days! We definitely would stay here again." - "Very comfortable apartment with stunning view of Ipswich River. Street parking was easy. Walkable to downtown. Ipswich was an accidental discovery since our destination was Gloucester, but we want to return to Ipswich since there is so much history and many beautiful old homes (17th century) there. Quite a few stairs to get to the house and apartment but this was no problem for us. Yes, we'd come back!"

- "We were looking for a nice, simple place to stay in order to spend Thanksgiving weekend with extended family, but still have our own space. This place was perfect. It was clean, quiet, and was just as advertised. The beds were really nice. It was walking distance from the center of tosen, but also out to the marshses and beautiful water views in the other direction. Also, Ozzy was really easy to communicate with and was quick to get back to us when we had questions. There are a bunch of stairs both up to the house, then up to the apartment, which was fine for us, but may not be for everyone."

We were only able to stay for two nights, but we will look forward to staying there again when we have more time to enjoy it!" - "The property owners did a great job in converting this house into 3 inviting apts for vacationers.

- "This property was part of a historical estate, which was interesting to learn of while walking the property. It is now a 7 acre parcel, with a barn, overlooking the river. It was very nice to unplug here, and be surrounded by nature. If you enjoy canoeing, walking through the woods, and sitting out on a patio with a firepit, this is the place to be. There were many deer sightings, and plenty of birds to see. It is down a long drive, so very peaceful, but town for conveniences are very close by. We were here for a family reunion and 90th birthday celebration. There are stairs for all of the bedrooms, if that is a consideration for your stay. "

“Perfect spot for a New England vacation”

“Great outdoor space to entertain!!”

“The location was convenient to everything.”

“The house with its surrounding decks immediately transported us into the beach vacation vibe.”

The reviews are in for the Great Neck Nook — a little bit of heaven on the North Shore with views of Plum Island Sound and access to a sandy, private beach. Its location makes it a great base camp for exploring the coast where you’ll find a wide range of activities that suit every taste including the Crane Estate which offers art and music exhibitions, kayaking and hiking and, of course, quintessential Crane Beach.

There are also plenty of great restaurants to choose from although, if you’re like us, you’ll find yourself opting for cocktails on the Adirondack chairs, a barbecue on the deck, and then walking around the neighborhood as the sun goes down over the sound.

If you’re looking to live by the sea this summer, the Great Neck Nook is a perfect place to do it.

Please Note: Non-shedding dogs will be considered

In addition, there is a 12 ' x 15' unfinished room in the basement that includes an informal living area with chairs, a table and a SmartTV. A large hobby table and chair can be used as a home office or for working on projects or puzzles.

- "Very comfortable and spacious! Beautiful location, great outdoor space to entertain!! Owners were great to work with as they respond to all questions! Beds were comfortable and a great bathroom! It felt like home to us!! I would recommend this rental to others! It won’t disappoint!!" - "Very comfortable, exactly as advertised, excellent location, owners very helpful and easy to communicate with, would heartily recommend it." - "This property satisfied all of our needs during our week stay. We wanted a place to keep as a temporary home base as we traveled around the Boston vicinity with our teens. But we also wanted a comfortable place to hang on those days we relaxed. Our family of four had ample space to spread out. I especially enjoyed being able to sit outside and enjoy reading on the deck or relaxing on the Adirondack chairs. My husband liked how the t.v. was adjustable to where he was sitting. This was helpful while the Olympics were on. The beds were comfortable. The darkening blinds were a plus. There was plenty of hot water for showers. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare meals on the days we didn’t eat out. And I really loved how many hooks were available for towels and clothes. We didn’t get to Clark Beach but we did enjoy time at Pavillion Beach. It was great being able to park close by and not have to walk too far over hot sand. Having the beach chairs, a cooler and plenty of towels at the house for us to use was awesome. And the cute mud room! How nice to be able keep all beach sand from upstairs. We went into Ipswitch a handful of times to eat, tour the museum and look at all of the First Period Homes. Our kids enjoyed ice cream and mini golf at Whites and our days at Crane Beach and Plum Island. Overall, this house was essentially a home for us and that was exactly what I was looking for when planning our summer vacation. Thanks for the memories! ."

- "All topics were given 5 stars, except the online descriptions of bedrooms each start with "2" and the size bed, but in reality there is one bed that sleeps 2. The photographs are accurate and I believe the host will be removing the extra "2" to read 1 twin 1 Murphy bed, Masterbed room 1 Queen, Living sofa sleeps 2, not 4, and First Floor Bedroom is 1 Double Bed and 1 Twin Murphy. We hope this clarifies the sleep accommodations and enjoy your stay! We did 😎"
