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.

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.

The house is perfect. Very clean, stocked with everything you will need, and plenty of space for your own belongings. It is in a great location - just steps away from the beach. Also a short walk to other beach access points, which are also great to check out. Sean is a wondering host - very responsive to any needs or questions.

Great location

We enjoyed a long weekend at the end of September. There were 3 of us having a girls weekend. There was plenty of space, very clean, comfortable mattresses, everything you need in the kitchen. The unit has been fully updated. The area is quiet and we rode bikes all over. We’d get an Uber to town to go out for dinner and shop. We had a chilly weekend, but we still walked over to the beach anyway. We had a really nice time.

The house at plum island is very clean and so cute. Very well maintained.

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.

Delightful week!

This rental on Plum Island was the perfect spot for a week vacation with family. Situated on the tip of Plum Island, it was just a short walk to the beach for play or to view beautiful sunsets. The owners were keen to make sure their home felt like our own. Everything was perfect and so clean. It’s hard to know which property to choose when booking online, and we have been burned before by inaccurate descriptions. You can absolutely rest assured that you will be completely satisfied and enjoy your stay at this rental property!

We loved staying here!!! Sean was so professional, responsive, genuine, and accommodating. The place was perfect space and location for my husband, 2.5 yo daughter and myself. We also entertained other families throughout the week, and had my parents stay over one night while we did a date night in Newburyport. Love there are 2 walking beaches nearby, large outdoor space for grilling/ hanging and playground steps away. The cleanliness and beautiful beachy decor in rental was just icing on cake for our stay. Thank you Sean and family!!! Look forward to working with you again and being back on Plum!
