Fantastic cottage on the water
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!

Wonderful cozy cottage in fantastic location
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!

Ipswich Cottage
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!

About the host

Hosted by Denise Mootafian

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased this wonderful cottage on Great Neck in Ipswich in 2015 and we have been residents of Ipswich for more than 26 years! In fact, you will be right around the corner from our neighborhood when you go to Marini Farm for fresh produce and baked goods. We are very involved in our community with my Windhill Real Estate business and my husband, Nishan, having been a town selectman for the past several years. We are always nearby should you need anything...

Why they chose this property

This home was previously owned by a local Ipswich family who enjoyed it for over 30 years with their friends and family. It was originally called "Windswept" because the former family thought that the breezes sounded and felt lovely. They also playfully named the stairway access to the water "Runway to the Ocean". Nishan and I enjoyed hearing their stories and learning of their father's journal entries about his time there. We are hoping you will add your experiences to the journal we have left for you and future vacationers!

What makes this property unique

Nishan and I were immediately captivated by the amazing view/sunsets and the abundance of wildlife when we first visited this adorable cottage. We were thrilled with the idea that we might be able to drop our kayaks in right from our own property. We could immediately see ourselves calling this our retirement home, only we are no where near retirement! Nishan and I very much look forward to the days we can spend sipping cocktails on the deck, but for now we are happy to share our vision and dream with you!
