    We enjoyed our stay at Edward's cottage on Plum Island. Edward was very attentive to our needs even let us check in a full day early so we could travel in safer weather. The cottage had everything we needed and the fireplace was great as we had some cold temperatures during our stay in January.

    It’s rare to find a vacation property for two people that has all the amenities, is in a great location, and is actually affordable. Plumtucket checks all the boxes, and Ed is a great host.

    The cottage was very nice and as close to beach without staying on beach. Close to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

    We had a great time. The cottage is beautiful. It had everything that you could require. The location is fantastic. Downtown Newburyport is a 5 - 10 minute ride down the road. The only issue was the access to the beach was just a little too steep. It seems that it could be regraded as a more gradual walkway. We found ways around that and had a great time. We highly recommend Placid Plumtucket Cottages. Dave&Diane C.

    My 5th time staying at Placid Plumtucket was the best so far - it just keeps getting better! If you stay here, you are lucky.

    This was the perfect place for the escape that I needed! The cottage was as pictured...beautiful and clean with everything you would need. Close to the beach, and a short drive to Newburyport for great restaurants and ambiance of a seaside town. I can't wait to go back :)

    The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Just a short walk to the beach that was only busy on the 4th of July. We enjoyed the cottage very much.
