We absolutely loved the location of the property. Even though we were here in the fall when it was chilly, it was still so nice to be so near the ocean. The house had everything we needed and everything was very clean. Communication with the host was easy, and any questions were answered right away. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Lovely Beach Stay!

The property was nice and very comfortable, the location was fantastic and the hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. The owners who live upstairs were very nice - waving down from their balcony to let us know to tell them if we need anything. We had a great stay and wanted for nothing. Would stay again! The proximity to the beach and nature preserve is perfect.

The place was adorable. Great little park just outside the back door, so close, as was the beach. The vacation was so enjoyable for all three generations. Grill and picnic table were especially nice. It fit everyone's needs, from young to old. Loved it.

excellent beach vacation!

Went back for the second year in a row. Love the cute, beachy apartment. Property manager and owners very nice and accommodating. Proximity to the beach is perfect, and nice to have a small private beach to enjoy. Plenty to do in the area, even while socially distancing! Hope to go back again next year!

Just right

We liked the configuration of 3 bedrooms and having 1.5 bathrooms, perfect for us as grandparents with two grandchildren. We loved being able to walk right down to the beach at any time. Low tide was especially interesting. Short drive to other beach and Parker Reserve was wonderful.

Great place to stay - clean, relaxing, nice location

PRO's : * communication from property mgmt. - perfect instructions on parking, accessing door lock, etc. emailed a few times during our stay to make sure everything was good and if we had any questions. * the house was very clean & organized * access to the beach right out the back door and instant access to the road on/off the island * neighbors and all near properties were nice and also very quiet - barely any noise aside from the occasional car passing by * comfortable furniture/beds, plenty of room in kitchen and large refrigerator CONS : none We looked at some options for staying in this area and this was the best value we found. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Will book again

The house at plum island is very clean and so cute. Very well maintained. We had some issues with the door code not working and right after I sent an email my phone rang and management was calling to help us with our issue. Very responsive and easy to get a hold of if an issue which really impressed me. We are already planning on booking for next year :)

Great property for family. Can't beat the closeness to beach access

Everything was as advertised. The owners are very nice and responsive. The unit worked really well with our toddler. It was safe for her and a public playground and the path to the beach are just steps from the back door. (Just be aware that the full bath has a large nice shower but no bathtub.) The kitchen suited all of our needs, we made two dinners in the house. And the mattresses were very comfortable, always an added bonus when traveling.
