On top of all the charm and elegance the home is located next door to a lovely historic restaurant with delicious food and tasty cocktails.

Sep 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brief breath of sea air Holly House is a remodeled Victorian house. My brother and I were looking for a place with two bedrooms, and we were very comfortable with the two spacious rooms we found. The living room is a good place to relax, and we appreciated the full kitchen where we could do some cooking. The gardens surrounding the house are very pretty. We were a bit concerned about the location along Linebrook Rd., but what traffic there was - Ipswich "rush hour" - didn't disturb us very much, and it was very quiet at night. Holly House is quite close to the town center and is well situated for reaching the beaches, walking trails, restaurants and shopping. We were pleased that a grocery store was nearby. We'd come back and would recommend the place to others. ##### Diane B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura F.

Pros: exceptionally clean, well equipped, lovely landscape Cons: tired furnishings, odor in entry hall so we used back entrance, mattress uncomfortable, shower faucet failed and could not be shot off, toilet handle broke off in our hand, the glass shower door came off the track. The owners responded within a half hour to our call for help and had the plumbing was repaired same day but I think the whole thing could have been avoided if their cleaning crew reported the problems prior to our arrival. No reimbursement was offered for our inconvenience. ##### Laura F.

The location was central to all with a lovely restaurant right nearby. We enjoyed exploring the Ipswich/Essex area of the state. Occupants were myself(senior) and my 30's daughter. Though we live in MA, we had never spent time in this part of the state. Very quiet unit, full kitchen, and updated bathroom. Nothing more to ask for! ##### Patrice O. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen Jul 8, 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This property was not as expected. When we arrived the smell of mothballs was overwhelming. We went around opening windows and trying the AC but to no avail. The queen bed was lumpy and extremely uncomfortable. There was only one bathroom, no 1/2 bath and the door to get in couldn’t open all the way without hitting the toilet. Shower was moldy with no pressure. Overall a very unpleasant experience and not up to the standard we expected based on the price point. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### TODD B., WILLOW STREET Jul 15, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Very responsive host Denise is very easy to communicate with and we appreciated her quick responses!

This lovely VRBO was well worth the 25-30 min. drive. It's a perfect location to explore, it was clean, had everything needed, and was absolutely charming. Will definitely stay here again if back in the area. Plan some time just to relax with your favorite beverage in the comfy den. While Hart House is a little out of my personal price range, I did have one of the best Old Fashioned ever at their Tavern bar (inside the same house at the restaurant). A local provided the tip, so I'm passing it along! So much to do so close to the home! Perfect combination! ##### Kerri W. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alison S. Jun 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely house in a beautiful area We loved our stay. The town of Ipswich is beautiful and the location of this lovely home is within an easy drive of Salem and Gloucester. The house is well equipped and decorated according to the age and style of the house. The shower was nice and powerful, which is always a plus. The only improvements in our opinions were that the mattresses could do with replacing. They were very soft. Also the couch seats in the living room could be replaced/refilled. These small things did not take away from out stay. Thank you so much ##### Alison S. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne J. Jul 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Midweek Getaway The house was charming. Lots of windows made it bright and cheery, but at least one window was left unlocked (ground floor). It was clean, but there were a good number of ants in the kitchen around the dishwasher. The 3 window air conditioners adequately cooled the place, in spite of the ghastly hot weather we had while there. The restaurant next door was closed when we visited, so no review on the food. It was close enough to our accommodations that noise probably would have been an issue had it been open so it was just as well. Parking was great, close to shopping. ##### Anne J.
