Nice quiet area cozy home

We loved our time at the Pumpkin house. The house is in a great location, walking to shops, the path along the water, and many restaurants. The owner was easy to get in touch with and helped us with extra blankets on our first chilly night. Our weather was cold, but in warm weather the backyard is a cute retreat and would expand the space. We really enjoyed our time there.

Great location

Pumpkin house is a great location in Newburyport. Walking distance to everything, yet on a quieter street. Pluses: Totally modernized and updated older property. Kitchen is first class. Very comfortable for a couple. The guest room is good, but the bathroom situation means guests go through master BR or downstairs. It's an old house, so understandable. We did not use AC in Sept/Oct. Heat was nice a couple of days and the gas stove was really nice on chilly New England fall mornings. One "gripe". The TV service was pretty horrible and hard to use. We don't watch a lot, but for the price $$$$, throw in a decent cable service. We would definitely stay there again if our plans take us that way.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa DiPiro

Host profile image
It was love at first sight with the Pumpkin House. We live and work in Newburyport and feel so fortunate that we can reside in this amazing city where adventure, shopping, beaches, hiking, farms and fabulous restaurants are within minutes. We have three wonderful girls, a dog (Ozzy) and a cockateil (Mr. Feathers). We make sure we take advantage of all the fun, adventure and relaxation Newburyport has to offer.

Why they chose this property

The Pumpkin house is an alluring downtown gem. It is tucked away on a quiet, historic street only 2-3 blocks away from downtown and the vibrant Newburyport waterfront. We furnished this home so every guest feels like they are at home in a wonderful seaside New England retreat. We especially love the secluded Beacon Hill-type garden in the rear; here you can relax and read a book or entertain your favorite guests. We have done our best to outfit the house so as to accommodate every guests' needs, but we are always open to suggestions!

What makes this property unique

The location is difficult to beat. It is within walking distance of all of Newburyport's most popular offerings and a quick bike ride to tranquil beaches, farm stands, hiking and much more.
