Walk to Beach. Private Nature and Bird Watching Trail. Quiet.

This is just a nice, quiet little place.

Nice quiet hideaway close to a great beach. Very private with rustic charm.

It was a really nice and quiet stay. Lots of spiders to keep you company but lots of greenery in the backyard as well.

Great location property could use some updates no tv stuffy/mold smell clean enough but

This was a perfect beach getaway for our long weekend. We were looking for a place within walking distance to the beach. It is basically an efficiency apartment, not fancy but well furnished, comfortable and quiet. Ed is a great host and we will be back!

Perfect peaceful location within walking distance to a idyllic beach.

We didn’t do any cooking , just made coffee in the morning. The location is splendid. Edward greeted us when we arrived and pointed out some pertinent information. Very private and quiet location which I loved

The host, Ed, was very friendly. The property was located in a quiet, peaceful spot convenient to Parker River NWR and short walk to area restaurants. Clean and comfy, would return.

Wonderful rustic summer cottage in the woods! One of the few really private wooded areas on PI and easy walking distance to town beaches. Reminds me of how the island used be decades ago -- nothing fancy but nicely appointed. A great collection of old books and travel guides.

Excellent owner response, beautiful location, short walk to beach, well stocked kitchen. If I were to go back, I'd ask Ed if I could arrive at noon & assist in cleaning.

A beautiful gem. Clean, quiet and surrounded by nature. A small walk to the beach. At the end of the beach there is a captain's fishing rental for deep sea fishing and or seeing the river.Will definitely stay there again.Tony and Terry

Great location and very peaceful. Easy parking and check-in and -out.

Location is great. Bed was good but linens were a bit musty.

Easy check in and check out. Cozy stay, comfy bed, and wonderful location!

Our go to place for vacation on Plum Island. A short walk to the beach and also a quick drive over the bridge into Newburyport center. Highly recommended.

In the morning, the light comes in softly. One of the few properties with trees and seclusion.

Enjoyed a very quiet stay on beautiful plum island

Because of this private location when you look out your window all you see are trees and bushes. However it is only a 5 minute walk to the beach.

The stairs walking down to the basement apartment are uneven so be careful. When you open the the door you get hit with the musty smell. If you open the dresser, they smell is even worse. There were alive and dead spiders and flies. There is a crack in the bathroom floor that was covered up by a rug. The bed is hard and pillows inadequate. All the other VRBOs I have stayed at, the owner was not there. Here, the owner was upstairs. Was not a nice romantic weekend. On the positive side, it is close to the beach.

…and tranquility on a busy August weekend

This is our third stay at Ed's studio on Plum Island. It is charming and very comfortable, shor walking distance to beach and restaurants, general store with ice cream parlor. The bed is very comfortable, the garden is private, quite and visited daily be birds and neighborhood wild turkeys. Ed is a great host; easy to contact and responsive. We hope for another stay next year.

This understated property is in a quiet, very private spot with an outdoor seating area, large parking spot and beach access just a short walk away. This is not fancy, it is rustic and quaint, but has perfect amenities and plenty of storage/space inside. The kitchen was well-appointed with freezer and refrigeration, stove, microwave, coffee maker and full sink. Everything you need is there - pots and pans, dishes, silverware, dish soap, towels and even aluminum foil and plastic wrap for leftovers! The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the bathroom was fine with extra towels, a full tub and shower. Laundry was available if you need it. It had reliable, free Wi-Fi which allowed me to work from the room - and also allowed me to watch streaming movies and television from my computer. There isn't a television in the room, but there is a cable hookup in the room. If you're looking for fancy and flashy, this is not the place - but this is better - it has a library of classic books, local artwork, photographs and a homey feel. Really, it felt more like being in a really nice cabin in the woods! I recommend this location and can assure you that Ed was a gracious and kind host.

Great location just minutes from the beach and The Sunset Club. A short drive into Newburyport center to the restaurants and shops, harbo and whale watch tours. Highly recommended !
