Plum Island is a 6-mile long barrier beach that extends south of Newburyport. Most of it makes up the Parker River Wildlife Refuge, which is visited seasonally by nearly 300 bird species.
Walking on a beach across a National Wildlife Refuge, hearing the waves crashing on long, sandy beaches, watching birds and deer nearby…
A walk is a nice introduction to the extraordinary diversity of the Plum Island scenery. Take a walk both on the beach and on the main Refuge road, which offers wonderful views on the Plum Island River marshes and the Broad Sound.
Plum Island creates a nice protected bay which leads to marshes along the Parker River - take a kayak or paddleboard tour through the marshes.

Everything was absolutely amazing, what a great place. Nothing at all unsatisfying
We had an absolutely wonderful 3 day getaway on Plum Island. We could easily access everything by bike and the suite is beautiful with a great small kitchen setup and lovely bathroom. Thanks for everything!
The unit with its 2nd floor deck was very attractive. The management was very responsive at all hours! Small ways to improve the venue: add a wastebasket to the bedroom, hangers for the coat rack, remove mirrored room divider to make room for an armoire (and remove coat rack), add another light or two to bedroom (maybe just above headboard for reading in bed), add nightlight to bathroom, unclog sink closest to the bedroom, have housekeeping wash dishes (the mugs were all wet - guests can't be counted on to wash dishes), reduce all the various fees - $100 for one bedroom and bath is outrageously expensive - charge for a much larger venue last summer was $35!
After spending 3 nights at Luney Dunes, we felt that the description in the listing was misrepresented and inflated. For example: As you awaken in Luney Dunes Penthouse, you're surrounded by expansive water views. The only water views you see are between the waterfront houses that obstruct your view. Watch the eagles soar, the boats cruise, and the sun rise from your luxurious king sized bed. Then, you arise and make a lovely cup of coffee and sip it on your private deck. Ah yes! The sounds of the sea! We didn’t see any eagles, just sea gulls and there were no sounds of the sea because the Penthouse is located adjacent to a bay. Kitchenette - Kitchenette furnished with dining accouterments and small appliances - Microwave, mini-fridge, and Keurig coffee maker This Kitchenette was about as minimal as we have ever seen on a vacation rental. It had the 3 appliances noted above, 4 coffee cups, 4 glasses and a plastic baggie with some mixed silver ware. There are no bowls or plates and no sink so when you use the coffee cups and glasses you have to wash them in one of the bathroom sinks. There was no closet where we could hang our clothes up. There was a coat tree that was loose from it’s base. I had to tighten it with my fingers to use it. The Penthouse had two doors connected to the main house and we could hear talking and barking from a large dog and did not feel privacy. We were unable to fulfill our expectations and would not recommend this rental.
Communication with property manager could have been better - some type of of welcome info would have been helpful, i.e.. beach access, instructions as to 3 TV remotes, request for dish soap and a couple extra towels not answered, etc. Tone of messaging could have been better - only there a day or so into a 5 day stay and warned of late check out would result in $100–$500 HOURLY charge and extra cleaning charge for not washing dishes — AND THERE ARE NO DISHES! Had to wash glasses in bathroom sink with hand soap. No trash can or trash bags provided. Seating was limited. Could be better use of “kitchenette” space, e.g., shelves, etc. Patio and patio furniture should be cleaned before each new guest - birds are an issue.
Property was great!! Super great views and peaceful!
A wonderful stay at Looney Dunes, with beautiful views, and a short drive to the public ⛱️ beaches!
Luney Dunes was verything it was described to be. A perfect getaway spot with all the amenities for an individual or couple. I'll definitely keep it on the top of my list for next year. Ray Carcano
The size and location was perfect however there was no A/C. This is a second floor of a residence and the temperature must be controlled by the main house. All of the windows had to be opened to have a cool breeze. This meant you heard EVERY little noise outside where the neighboring houses are super close. Just not what I expected when paying this much to stay. Bathroom and shower was really nice.
It was great !
Though I rated most things high, the overall rating was poor due to one issue. The owners were courteous, friendly, and easy to work with but unfortunately they left the day after we arrived. They had someone house sitting during their absence and whoever it was smoked weed in the main house. The stench came through the air conditioning ducts and the adjoining door to the main house that is located in the penthouse…we noticed it the last two days we were there…we notified the rental company who said they would contact the owner immediately but we are not sure of the outcome. We left the a/c vents closed and opened the windows. I work for an FAA associated job that requires periodic random drug tests. While I doubt I would test positive, I’m not willing to take chances with my career. One other thing is that the rules for the penthouse is no smoking…the a/c system should be separate to prevent such incidents.
Fabulous
