Everything I thought it would be

We had a great time at Moot Point. My goal was to get my daughters to catch some stripers and for my wife to read as many books as possible, both were accomplished. Fishing was slow but steady and the girls had a blast. Kayak access is easy just have to be 3-4 hours of the high tide. Denise was a fantastic host. We had a hot week and the back deck gets ALOT of sun. My only ridiculous complaint is we needed more forks and pot to steam lobster would have been good. Amazing sunsets and pleasant mornings.

Anniversary Visit to Ipswich

Moot Point was the perfect coastal retreat for my husband and I to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary! The location on Great Neck is peaceful and quiet, with local wildlife surrounding us. The house is adorable and as advertised - very cozy and comfortable with everything you need - and the deck and view from the backyard is stunning (especially the sunsets!). Moot Point is conveniently located to Cape Ann, Rockport, Newburyport, and Plum Island (to name a few). Denise was wonderful and very responsive. We can’t wait to return!

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!
