Herb’s home was our 6th summer rental on the upper east coast. Absolutely the BEST!! Convenient location for family from Hudson, Melrose, Marshfield and Wilton, NH. The house is absolutely beautiful! Bright, airy, comfortable furniture , beautiful prints in every room , gigantic dining table that easily accommodated 13 of us for a lobster feast. The kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed. The 3 bedrooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. A pull-out sofa in the living room also came in handy. Short walk to a beautiful beach which was not crowded even over Labor Day weekend. Herb is the perfect host !! Any problems or concerns were addressed immediately. He maintains the property and foliage around it meticulously. Looking forward to returning next year!!
Great location, plenty of space, walk to beach, restaurants and bars ?
Let me start by saying that Plum Island is a wonderful location with great beaches and restaurants only minutes away. Our neighbors were friendly and very helpful with local recommendations. Overall, we rate this house a 2 out of 5. The pictures on the website are not accurate. The furniture on the porch were vinyl chairs, not the advertised cushioned couch and chairs. And instead of clutter-free, minimal decor, all the walls are covered all over the house in random prints and there are breakable tchotchkes in the living room. While not major inconveniences, the pictures on the listing should absolutely be accurate. Other inconveniences: ant infestation due to crumbs left under rug in dining room; musty odor throughout the house and no smell or evidence of any cleaning products upon arrival; overgrown plants and weeds vining over patio furniture; expired food left in fridge; mouse traps on shelving in kitchen pantry; audible mouse deterrent plug-ins in kitchen and laundry room; a/c unit in living room is so loud on high setting that it's hard to have a conversation; no hand soap at bathroom sinks; cable tv was basic package - what you'd get with an antennae. And lastly, the communication with and professionalism of the landlord was sub-par: no check-in information provided (until I called and asked); no instructions on trash removal or check-out; and he came by mid-week to water the plants. None of the above ruined our vacation, but not what we expect from a VRBO.
Great stay at this beach house. Very clean and comfortable, plenty of room for everyone. Beach chairs were a plus, and just a short walk to the beach access entrance. Kitchen well equipped, bright and sunny throughout.
We had an awesome week. The house has plenty of room for everyone to spread out, but also big enough spaces for everyone to gather for meals, games, or just hang out. The nearness to the beach is so convenient for those looking to sunbathe, but we also surfed, fished, kayaked and ate without even getting in the car!
Online pics made property seem a little bit spiffier and more comfortable than reality. But everything functioned well and no major complaints. My husband was disappointed that ESPN and NESN weren't available - no Sox games! The walking distance to beach, breakfast spot, ice cream shop and the two bars and restaurant in town make the location ideal.
Roomy, comfortable, nicely furnished, well-designed house. Excellent location, very close to the beach and Mad Martha's. Great layout for a family vacation. Highly Recommended.
Herb was a wonderful landlord and great gardener constantly making the site even more beautiful . The house is wonderful with a great kitchen, spacious and Comfortable living room and dining room. Bedrooms and bathrooms are perfect -comfortable and pleasant. Close to the beach and quiet street.
This Plum Island home is in a great location and very comfortable for several people. The kitchen is well-stocked and has extras such as condiments in the ‘fridge. If you prefer to have someone else clean the home before you leave, there is a fee that will be provided to the cleaner and can be coordinated with the owner. Owner arrived as we were leaving and we would have preferred a 30 minute grace period. If it felt a bit like a bums rush. Otherwise we had an absolutely wonderful time in the home and on Plum Island!
Excellent short walk to the beach. Great sand bar walk at low tide.
