Plum Island Beach Cottage!

Plum Island is a great place for bird watching and winter walks on a pristine beach. Grab a breakfast or lunch at Mad Martha's and then take a walk in downtown Newburyport which is minutes away.

This home is a spacious, comfortable two-story cottage. A pleasant retreat with easy access to swimming, kayaking, bird-watching, and sunset-viewing, as well as the restaurants, galleries, and other attractions of Newburyport, and Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Sandy Point State Reservation. A moment's walk to Plum Island Beach on one side of the house and the tidal Basin on the other, 2-mile cycle, walk, or drive to the Refuge entrance, and 4 miles to Newburyport center.

The first floor has a cozy, cottage feeling, including: living room with fireplace, dining-room, well-equipped eat-in kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher, a study/guest room, and full bath. Clothes washer and dryer in basement. Enclosed sun-porch and a small deck at the front of the house.Upstairs is bright and airy. Two large bedrooms, each with French doors open to a deck that runs the width of the 2nd floor, with ocean and Basin views. Drapes provide privacy and shade. Half-bath with view of the Basin .

The house is set back from the street, with small front and back yards and a cobblestone patio in back, offering tree-shaded play areas for children, a place for grilling and outdoor eating, and a semi-enclosed outdoor shower. Parking for 4 cars. Well-insulated. New windows. Gas heat. Central AC (not often needed, because there's always a breeze). Wireless internet.

Great value & location!!!

This house checked all the boxes for us: A/C, 1.5 baths, upstairs deck, outdoor shower, grill, proximity to beach. The house is clean - some fixtures (e.g. couch) are getting old, but overall a great value and great place to stay!

Quick Family/Friends visit

Stayed here for 3 nights to visit friends and family. Location is easy to get to, beach is just across the street. We were there in the after season so it is much quieter in the area (and some restaurants were closed for the season) but Newburyport is less than 10 minutes away and is always busy. Cottage is a typical rustic New England place, perfect for our needs.

Perfect location!

This is our 4 th year staying here. It’s just across the road from the beach, so that location couldn’t be much better! The house could use some updates, but we’re likely to be back again next year. Bill always responds promptly.

Fantastic beach cottage!

We had a great girls weekend staying here! The house was plenty spacious for the five of us to be comfortable and loved using the outdoor spaces as well. The house was very well maintained and fully stocked. We also loved the location, the beach is right across the street and we took many walks up and down the island. Bill was easy to communicate with and always responded fast. We loved the cottage and would definitely stay here again!

This was the first time I had headed north for a vacation. The area was everything that I expected. My host was available throughout the week to answer any questions. I loved that the sheets and towels were provided, access to coffee, staples in the fridge, and close to the beach.

Great Location

Beautiful home with a great view of the ocean from the deck. Wonderful location with plenty of parking. We stayed a month here in the winter and they had everything you would need for a long term or short term rental. Easy to work with the owners and plenty of privacy.

Memorial Day on the beach

The house was clean, comfy and convenient, also well equipped with cooking supplies and beach chairs, etc. and a quick walk to the beach. The gorgeous weather didn't hurt, and the beach wasn't crowded a bit, even on the long weekend.

Comfortable place for a lovely vacation

As a family, we've been coming to Plum Island for decades, and we've stayed at fancier houses, but the layout and space is perfect with kids, and I love a screened porch, and the upstairs deck is my favorite place to be with a book. The kitchen was well-stocked and clean, and the dining table fit us all for games in the evening. We look forward to returning!

Wedding Weekend

The property was perfect for me and my college roommate and our spouses. We had an amazing walk on the beach and breakfast at Mad Martha's. The house was fantastic with dark wood that felt very "camp like" and two modern bedrooms and very clean. The host was the best and let us in early! Would definitely return! Theresa

Plum Island stay

We needed a place for two nights over the Memorial Day weekend as we were attending a wedding. Plum Island beach cottage looked inviting in the ad, and would satisfy our family’s needs. We found the HOME charming, clean, and all the amenities listed were there and in good order. The house was located directly across the street from the ocean and was convenient to local restaurants. I would highly recommend staying at Plum Island Beach cottage. Bill, the property manager, was accessible when needed, and allowed us a late checkout again to meet our needs.

Perfect Summer Vacation!

Bill’s house was perfect: a minute from the beach, short walk to ice cream and the Sunset Grill, and a quick drive to downtown. (If you even need to go down there—the house was thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials, to include a cribbage board and even batteries for the remote control.)

Excellent Week!

We loved the property. It’s location was perfect and made going back and forth to the beach very easy. The rooms were great. I will say, be prepared for the morning light in the bedrooms, but we came for the sun! The place had more than what we needed. We already booked a week for next year.
