"If you only care about location, this is the place. Staff is nice but the property requires serious care and attention. The word “dated” doesn’t describe it. Its structure is giving in and I seriously believe it needs some inspection. "

Sunnyside: Sunset View Getaway - Relaxing Retreat in this Charming Home!
10/10 Excellent
"This was just the right size cottage and the location couldn’t have been better! We had a fairly easy drive up from the Logan International Airport, getting to downtown Newburyport was a breeze, and the little Plum Island store & restaurants were wonderful. The area around Sunny Side was quiet & peaceful. We would book it again!"
"House has been completely remodeled and it was very well done. Traffic noise was a little intrusive at times, but I seemed to be the only one in my party that had trouble getting accustomed to it. The host was super responsive to our needs and we appreciated that very much. Kitchen was well equipped and we used it a lot."
Plum Island Beach Cottage - 4 Minute Walk To Beach!!
10/10 Excellent
"Our first time to Plum Island and it did not disappoint! Kelli was great and the cottage itself provided a perfect getaway for myself and my five besties! Great proximity to everything you need and well stocked both inside and out, with bikes, coolers and outdoor games for you to enjoy. Everything was clean and neat and just lovely overall. Top that off with a beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear water within walking distance and breathtaking sunsets right out the front door every evening and this place is truly a gem! "

Beautiful 4 Bedroom Home in the Heart of Historic Downtown Newburyport
10/10 Excellent
"We were in for the 5k/Half Marathon. Check in was easy. Location was perfect (everything is walking distance). There were 7 of us and plenty of room. Games were played.Puzzles were put together. Sat on the back deck for breakfast. Full dinner in the dining room. We were able to get a late checkout so we could shower after the race."
"This property was perfect for our family of 4. We loved walking across the street to the beach. We went into Newburyport multiple times which is a beautiful town that had a lot of really good restaurants and fun shops. The house has nice appliances and the multiple mini splits did a great job controlling temperature. Great communication and check in process from the host. "
Beautiful Plum Island Escape; Steps from Beach- Coveted Southern Island Location
10/10 Excellent
"Nestled just steps away from the pristine shoreline, this property offered the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience.From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this house was wonderfully appointed. Every room was tastefully decorated, showcasing a blend of modern aesthetics and cozy beach vibes. The open-concept living space was bright and airy, filled with natural light, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day in the sun. The kitchen was fully equipped with high-end appliances, making meal preparation a breeze.Cleanliness is often a concern when renting a vacation property, but this house was immaculate. It was evident that the owners take great pride in maintaining their space, ensuring that every corner was spotless and welcoming. The location couldn't have been better! With the beach just a short walk away, we found ourselves enjoying sun-soaked days without the hassle of driving or parking while being close enough to town for great dining and shopping. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway spot. We can't wait to return!"

Sept & Oct are the perfect time to be beachfront on Plum Island!
10/10 Excellent
"This is a prime location for relaxation, ocean views, and beach access. We had plenty of room and privacy for 2 adults, 2 tween boys, and our little dog. Rob is an excellent host and provided so many beach and vacation necessities. It made packing and enjoying our time a breeze. I would have booked a second trip back this summer if it wasn’t already sold out! I can’t say enough good things. Thank you!!!!"
"The stay was great overall. When we entered the rental unit there was a lot of sand throughout, and the trash barrels were full and had not been taken to the curb (they had food items left in them so there were some maggots in the barrels, unfortunately). Aside from some trouble trying to fit our garbage into the barrel before the midweek pickup everything else was pretty smooth. Two things I would suggest is replacing the bug screen on the main sliding door, it’s a wonderful feature to have in order to enjoy the wonderful ocean breeze at night, however, the adhesive on the top of the doorframe and side does not seem to be sticking well any longer so there are gaps where bugs can come in. Lastly, the swinging bench on the porch looks lovely and many people have commented about it in the guest book, would have loved to have used it, but it looks like one of the main support rods on the bottom is broken and hanging so we did not want to sit on it and have it break, would be something that should be on the replacement list soon. Aside from those minor suggestions, we enjoyed our stay here, the unit was adorable, had all the amenities we needed and is in a wonderful location, beachfront and an easy walk to all conveniences. I have already sent the VRBO link to a few friends and would recommend it again! Thank you so much for your hospitality! "
Modern Cottage, Private Island, Unparalleled beauty
10/10 Excellent
"This place was fantastic; it's in a perfect location, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. I loved how close it was to the town center, making it easy to explore everything. The people I met were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with easy access to local attractions. It truly made my trip enjoyable!"
"Our group was two couples, one grandmother, one 17 year old girl and a 10 year old boy. That left 3 or us with a full size bed and/or a pull out couch in the living room with no privacy The property should list "sleeps 6 people" noting that two people sleep in living room. Otherwise we had a lovely vacation, steps to beach."
