Plum Island Guest Cottage With Water View

Come stay at my quiet and tranquil Guest cottage. This unique House is on a dead end street located on the west side of Plum Island Basin. The cottage is located in a small wooded area overlooking the basin and my home with pristine gardens. Plum Island is a unique place with some of the best beaches in New England. It's Just steps away from the a tidal basin, enjoy watching the tide come in and out twice a day. Bring your Kayak for two 6 hour windows of High tide. Awesome Paddle Boarding location! Breath in the cool salt air breeze. It's a small house with a big feel. Vaulted ceilings all around. A nice size open kitchen, with everything you need and a Gorgeous Cherry Wood bar. Seating comfortable for four people. Washer and dryer. Queen Size Bed with a walk in closet. The bedroom is open concept with no door (Similar to a hotel suit). There is a queen pullout bed in the living room. Bamboo flooring. There is an HDTV and a stereo. Wifi provided. You can drive a few miles into beautiful downtown Newburyport where there are many great restaurants, bars and shopping. Just one Mile south is a 9 mile long National Wildlife Reservation with gorgeous beaches and boardwalk trails. Beyond that is State owned Sandy Point Beach overlooking Cranes Castle. This beach is stunning as well ! Plum Island beaches are about a ten minute walk away. Bring your bike for some fantastic biking. You won't want to leave. It is truly a special place.

Wonderful little cottage for 2 people. Great neighborhood. Dead end street quiet and safe for dog. Host was very friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to Plum Island center (restaurant/bars, groceries, ice cream shop, fishing tackle, clothing). Very near beautiful beach at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. 10 minute drive to Newburyport ... lots to do.

Quaint Cottage by the Sea

My husband, dog, and I enjoyed our peaceful week at Steve’s cottage. We loved starting our day drinking coffee on the Adirondack chairs on the front porch listening to the birds. The location was perfect, close to downtown Newburyport and the beach. We had a comfortable stay and Steve is a great host. Be sure to watch the sunset from The Sunset Club at the end of the road and get breakfast from Mad Martha’s.

Plum Island Gem

Steve's house is just lovely. Wonderful location on Plum Island, and all the essentials for a wonderful stay. We couldn't have wished for a better week, or better lodgings. And we both felt that we'd known Steve for years, even though we'd just met.

Plum Island magic

Even though we had some rain, Steve’s little slice of Plum Island heaven was warm and cozy! Great location, lotsa places to walk to, and easy to drive to other great spots. The guest house might feel small to some, but we had two adult women and a dog and never felt claustrophobic. Steve was great, available if needed, but still gave us our privacy. The entire time was simply magical!

Quiet Cottage Getaway

Perfectly provided 1-2 person attractive small cottage on a small lot on small street, quiet and friendly, but no view. Kitchen has no dish pan nor 2 person coffee maker( I hate Geuriig). Lots of shade (thank God), and adjoining friendly landlord provides window A/C by July or request.

We had an amazing two week stay. The air is so fresh on Plum Island.

Steve's cottage is perfect. He has it well stocked with everything you need and it's very comfortable to hang out in. Morning sunrise over the river is so beautiful. We loved walking to the end of the road for sunsets. He lives on the most friendly street and we look forward to talking with his neighbors again next year. We did a lot of site sightseeing on Plum Island, Newbury, and every Beautiful Beach along the way. We really enjoyed getting takeout from Loretta in Newburyport, Outdoor dining at Bob Lobster and Woodsman's. Thank you, Steve, for being a perfect host!

The cottage is a true gem

This place is great all around, it was designed with thought and has the comforting rustic New England charm. Note that the mattress is on the soft side so if you have a bad back, that might be an issue. Otherwise you’ll be plenty comfortable.The location is prime; with direct access to the bay and an easy walk to the ocean and river. Great spot for all water sports and with beautiful, quieter beaches around. The neiborhood is friendly and none intrusive. All in all, it was exactly what I was hoping to find.It was super nice to meet Steve. Great guy, was not around much but made sure I not hesitate to reach out if I needed anything. Even came out to help me tighten up the kayak to the car before I left. Unfortunately, the weather went from spring to fall for the week. I was there so that put a big dent on my plans. I would’ve extended my stay if someone hadn’t already snatched up the place. I will most definitely return!

The guest cottage is very comfortable and Steve is a wonderful host. The location is perfect to enjoy the entire island, Newburyport, and the surrounding shore line - including, most of all, Parker River National Wildlife Refuge - absolutely incredible experience !

Great Plum Island retreat!

My husband and I spent a week at this lovely cottage on Plum Island. Steve supplied everything that was promised and everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The location of the cottage is just right… close to the natural beauty of Plum Island and very close to Newburyport with its many shops and great restaurants. It is also located within an hours drive of many beautiful seaside towns such as Salem, MA, Portsmouth, NH, and Ogunquit, ME. We had a great time! Thank You!

Clean, good use of space, and dog-friendly

Could not have been a better deal, considering price, location, and just all-round friendliness of the owner and surrounding neighborhood. Short walks to numerous water and beach views, and Newburyport has numerous and diverse restaurants just a short distance away. The very nearby Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is the icing on this shoreline cake.

Plum Island Cottage

Exactly as advertised this cottage is well equipped and cozy. Water views and a quiet neighborhood to walk, even on the dunes off Avenue K. Close to local restaurants and a short drive to all that Newburyport has to offer. Lots of rabbits in the area to keep one entertained. It's a great place and the owner is very attentive. Go and enjoy "The Cottage".
