Plum Island Basin House

Our stay in Plum Island was awesome! Awesome communication from the landlord. Well appointed home and no annoying chores on check out!

This is a lovely home and a great location. It’s so quiet and relaxing. Beautiful views and plenty of space to be together or have alone time. It’s a quick 3 minute walk to the beach. Beds were comfortable, WiFi was great. Rose was delightful to communicate with and she responded quickly to every request. We loved our time here and hope to stay again next year!

I really wanted to like this place - the location was amazing and the property manager was very responsive. The neighbors were also super nice. We were also so grateful to be able to bring our dogs and they had a great time swimming in the basin. We also loved being able to walk to the beach and restaurants. HOWEVER - iit needs a lot of work. At first we thought it was just cosmetic stuff and we didn’t care. We were there to enjoy the beach and the basin and didn’t mind. In fact, it was a relief to not have to always be worrying about being super careful about everything. But then - one after another- we discovered things that weren’t working right/ were broken, and the including: the dishwasher, the clothes dryer, one out of two microwaves, the coffee pot, the ignition on the gas grill. Worst of all were the sink that had a MAJOR leak and the kayaks thar SUNK! For real, there were holes in them and they sank while we were paddling in the middle of the basin! Luckily we had brought our own lifejackets and were able to get to shore safely, but it was scary. Better a/c would have been nice too, but to be fair we had a week+ of 90-100 degree temps and I’m not sure any a/c would have been able to keep up. We’d love to go back, but only if they fix things significantly.

Great family vacation, great location, wonderful weather, everything we needed was there.!

Excellent location, close to beaches, quite neighborhood, 8 minutes from Newbury's shops and restaurants. Beds were very comfortable, the property inside was well maintained and clean; water pressure on the second floor a little low and the exterior of the house needs some work, but other than that recommend this property for familes and groups. Pet friendly

This home is NOT how it is pictured. There are portions of siding missing, mold in the windows, one window looks to be DUCT TAPED to hold it in the wall. HORRIBLE - DO NOT STAY. April 2022. I can not believe VRBO has not taken this home off of its platform. What an absolute disgrace.

The house offered comfortable, home-like accommodations for us, well-situated to enjoy Plum Island – the main attraction. The house is set back from the basin (the view in the posting is from the third floor bedroom area; living space and deck are on the first floor). Space was ample. Furnishings and general conditions are dated. We had a couple of issues (washing machine malfunction, the larger microwave did not work), and we would have welcomed a wider selection of cable channels. Wifi was strong (and reliable), as advertised. We received timely responses to our questions, before and during our stay. Minutes walking to the beach, nice cafe very close -- walking distance, friendly neighbors...enjoyed the stay.

We loved the location, a short walk to the beach and just steps to the basin gave us all sorts of options. The house is nice, showing its age a bit, but everything was in working order and the wifi was really fast (which made working from here very easy). Overall a wonderful stay and would definitely stay there again,

House is a short walk to beach. Quiet neighborhood, nice deck which allowed for meals outside. All ages were able to relax and enjoy a beautiful week.

We had a wonderful month at this property from Memorial Day weekend through most of June. The location is wonderful for walking PI in both directions and it was great to be so close to the beach and Mad Martha’s. The property manager Rose was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns and helped our trip run extra smoothly. The wifi was perfect throughout the entire stay and having strong shower pressure were simple pleasures (never know when you rent a beach house!). The house was perfectly imperfect which allowed for a comfortable stay. I would recommend this property.
