Newburyport, Massachusetts
BeachWaves 365 is where lifelong memories are made! You’re surrounded by unobstructed expansive views of dunes, sand and sea! From the wrap around deck, you can watch the boats float, sunsets, sunrises, and birds soar! The sandy ocean beach is just a couple hundred steps from the house where there is a lifeguard in the summer. The house is nestled between 2 great seaside locations, the Merrimack River and the Atlantic Ocean where you can walk a few minutes to the bay side beach for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming or fishing on the ocean side. Either direction – you’re sure to have amazing beach days!
BeachWaves 365 accommodations start with the amazing views. You enter the home from the enormous wrap around deck. You have two floors to enjoy with open concept living space, modern kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on each floor. In addition the property has 2 foot showers: one in the ground-level outdoor shower and one on the wrap-around deck – to easily clean off those sandy feet. What a great space to share an extended family vacation – there’s room for everyone: grandparents, siblings, cousins. The kids can be playing board games on the upper floor, while the parents play cards and sipping wine below.
Available to check-in on Saturday and Sunday for weekly summer rental. Please email for weekday check-in request.

Six of us - good friends/retired teachers, gathered for 2 nights at this beautiful house on Plum Island. We could not have been happier with everything about the house, its amenities and the location! The owner was excellent with communication and conscientious with instructions and details. We had everything we needed at the house. The kitchen(so well stocked!), the bedrooms(so spacious and beds so comfortable), the living rooms, but most of all the deck! If the weather is good(and ours was outstanding) there is no need to go anywhere else...except to walk the long, long stretches of shoreline....we may make this our annual go to gathering spot!! Thank you!
We stayed for a week this summer and had a great time. Close to the beach with calm surroundings. The house is equipped with everything a full house could need. We were 10 family members in total so having an extra fridge upstairs was handy. For us norwegians having aircon inside was nice too. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone who likes a stay by the sea. Had a blast!
Spacious property
Great location! This house layout worked very well for our family. Nice having a seprate kitchen upstairs. Lots of beach options, love this island! Like proximity to Newburyport as well! Close to town, trails and a little park. We hope to come back!
We had a great week. Beach, friends, family, relax.
Wonderful house in great location.
Great time relaxing with family. House allowed daughter and son-in-law with child on one floor while grandparents and single daughter slept in later on the other. Plenty of room to hang out, eat, play games, and enjoy the view.
Great location, helpful owner. All went well!
We stayed at this property for a month while our house was being renovated. It was such an incredible location. It was very comfortable for us and my four-year-old loved being so close to a playground. We spent our Thanksgiving there and found the kitchen to be fully stocked with all that we needed. The owners were very easy to communicate with. Watching the waves crash against the jetty on the second floor was incredible. I hope to one day to be able to stay at this house during the summer because it must be fantastic to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise. One last thing… the shower on the second floor is epic. Outside of the view it’s probably what Ill miss most about this house!
This house was perfect for our group that included 7 adults and 2 small children. There was plenty of space for us all. The kitchen was fully equipped for our needs. We didn't use the upstairs kitchen at all (just didn't need to). The upstairs living room has a great view but the cream-colored furniture looked like it needed a good shampooing.
I think it would have been a better stay if the linen was better quality.
Comfortable and roomy with a really well stocked kitchen! So close to the beach! We had a great stay!
Place is wonderful and has lots of space for family and friends to relax. We loved having many bedrooms and sitting areas. Would highly recommend.
Fabulous!!!
We could not have picked a more perfect place for our family to gather for the celebration of a family wedding. The house is a great arrangement of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space to accommodate a family with spouses and and partners. The views of the Merrimack River and the ocean and the wispy marsh are just spectacular. The home is well isolated toward the north end of Plum Island making it very quiet and peaceful. We loved the the stay and the memories that will last a lifetime!
Our experience right renting this property was wonderful. Kim was very helpful with suggestions about where to bring our mom as she is handicapped. He was able to give us beaches to get to and returned my phone call right away.
Comfortable and relaxing.
We rented this house for our family vacation and had a great time! It was very clean, with lots of space, and beautiful views from the deck and upstairs windows.
The home was the perfect fit for our family. Having two floors each with living space and kitchen was incredibly helpful and the outdoor living on the deck was an extra wonderful bonus that we used a lot! With 3 young children with us the playground two houses down was fantastic and having options to get to multiple different areas of the beach on different walking paths was ideal for all our needs. The stairs were doable for those with less mobility and the walk was close enough for those family members with more limited mobility to also enjoy the beach. We had fun exploring the island with so much very close by (light house, soap company, refuge, restaurants, Newburyport, etc). AND, Kim was very accessible and very helpful throughout - excellent host!! Overall wonderful stay, I highly recommend.
The house, location, views of the ocean and owners could not have been better. The property is well maintained and equipped. We enjoyed having coffee on the large deck every morning while watching the sun come up over the water. The owners were so easy to communicate with and replied to all questions quickly. There is a very short walk to the beach, and the beaches are quiet and not very populated. Most relaxing vacation ever!
We had a wonderful family stay on Plum Island. The house was remote enough that we felt like we were really away, however, it was easy access to get into town, shopping and the area. The beaches were just a short walk from the house. The house itself was well appointed and plenty of space up for our family to spend time together. We are a family who enjoys cooking and found the kitchen well stocked. Overall a great vacation for our family.
We were looking for a spot for a family get-together to celebrate a 70th birthday. The house worked perfectly! The open plan allowed us to interact easily, yet there was plenty of space to get away in small groups or alone. Location, right on the water, gave the opportunity for morning and evening walks. The deck was sunny and open - great for meals, chatting, or playing games. A very easy, comfortable space. We all agreed it was just right for us.
The house was perfect for a large group girls weekend. Walking distance to beach, short drive to downtown, and plenty of space for hanging out together or separately! Gorgeous views and had everything we needed for the weekend.
