Our family had an excellent, memorable stay, including our pups. The home offered plenty of comfortable spaces for everyone to sprawl out and was wonderfully quiet and private. Each evening we watched the sunset over the marsh from the backyard, which backs up to the dunes and felt magical; the fire pit was also a nightly favorite. Itâs also an easy walk to the main strip and many beach access points. Micheal was incredibly friendly and responsive, Highly recommend!
From the perspective of a handicapped person staying in the home with family and a dog, I have to say everything was as expected - except the bathroom. We all managed but the step-up into the bathroom and the tight quarters in there were a challenge for a person using a walker. This was communicated by the owner but I took a chance and managed. It was worth the effort as the sunsets, the beach and downtown Newburyport are amazing places to explore. I was able to use my mobility scooter to access these places as well as the Hellcat Trail in the National Wildlife Preserve. It's a well-maintained boardwalk, which is easy to navigate. The house was comfortable for my family and for our dog, Brady. Thanks for an unforgettable summer memory.
We had a fabulous time at this property. We really enjoyed the fire pit, the surrounding yard and closeness of the beach and ice cream! We would definitely stay with this host again.
Pros: Location, surrounding property, fire pit, really GREAT host.
Cons: The kitchen is a bit small, but has all the needed amenities, and the room with the single bed does not have a window.
This lower floor rental is unassuming from the outside, but very nice on the inside. The beds are comfortable. The ownerâs treat the rental as if they were accommodating family. They really paid attention to detail. Good quality everything The kitchen was very well stocked.
An excellent spot for a group of adults. Cozy little place with enough space for everyone to spread out or get together as needed. Perfect walking distance from the beach, bar, and local shops. No issues.
We have stayed in the area multiple times and loved this location. However for such a significant cost for a week, there should be ample supplies- the unit had exactly one roll of paper towels and two rolls of toilet paper. Bath towels but no washcloths or hand towels, no kitchen basics except a bottle of vegetable oil- not even salt & pepper. There were no books, brochures or personal touches at all. Other rentals for less in the area make an effort to make guests feel comfortable and at home.
The check-in instructions did spell out the spartan nature of what was supplied, however we did not receive those until a couple of hours before our arrival. It was like camping, but inside. There were also cobwebs in the corners and the back breakfast area had no working lights or power. The sheets didnât fit the bed and kept popping of the corners.
One thing we appreciated was the pet friendly rental. Upon our arrival, however, our dog instantly became frantic. We finally figured out that the white units plugged in throughout were ultrasonic rodent repellers that were torturing his ears. Unplug them before taking your dog in! The location did a lot to make up for these deficiencies, but it would have been appreciated if we didnât have to spend time on our vacation just trying to get the basics that should have been there already.
We had a great visit! The house had all the essentials for a very comfortable stay and the location was great. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Highly recommend.
The place was absolutely adorable and very clean! The place was such a great location too. It's walking distance to the Sunset Club where you can watch the sunset and have some food and drinks among other little shops and provisions. The beach is a little bit of a walk, but it's doable. There are parking lots available though. I definitely would rent here again!
Had a great time at this wonderful house, just a short walk from the beach and around the corner of the best little beach town bars and shops. Clean and as described - comfy beds, grill, fire pit. 10/10 would book again!
Everything within walking distance and wonderful spaces to relax.
The first highlight of this property is it's proximity to everything you might want to do on the island. There is an open social space right down the road along with ice cream, a package store, beach access and pretty much anything you might want to do... All without worrying about parking which there is pretty much none anywhere on the island. :-)
The second asset to this place is the living room. The couches are comfortable and it would be a great place to just lounge with people or watch a good comedy with your family after you've gotten a lot of sun. :-)
The third assets are the beds. Seriously, the two beds in the back bedrooms are some of the most comfortable I've ever slept in which was proven after a wonderful and unexpected two hour nap in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. :-)
The owner was quick to respond and it's solid for a small family who wants to enjoy some fire pit time, some relaxation and still be close to things that you can casually get to. :-)
This is without doubt one of the best locations on the north shore. We had a fabulous time exploring the great community and surrounding areas. The people are fantastic and welcoming. The property is great with a wonderful setup and an easy walk to the beach. The place is very very clean and has everything needed to feel at home. We will be back.
The plum island cottage was perfect for our family. Definitely enough room in the unit for several couples and kids to hang out. Easy bike ride to the beach and food. My favorite was a that it is a quick drive to Sandy Point, which makes you able to get a spot in that coveted parking lot at the end of the island early in the morning. The owner was extremely responsive and set up all the comforts for a perfect vacation getaway.
We really liked this location for a three night stay. The location is great and the site was very clean. Added plus of a washer and dryer really helped. Was closer to the water/beach than we expected which was nice
