Great place and perfect location for a relaxing beach vacation. This was our third year at this cottage and we’ve booked for next year.
We had a great stay. This was our 4th year renting this property. The house is clean and beds are comfortable. Any questions or concerns Bill is just a text message away. I highly recommend this house. You won't be disappointed.
We loved the location, the 2nd floor deck, and proximity to the beach. We're already signed up for next year!
We had a lovely time at your cottage. It is beautiful home with an upstairs deck that was one my favorite parts of the home. On some days, there was a beautiful breeze, and it was relaxing place to be at the end of the day. First floor was nice as well. It had all the amenities to cook in and a clean grill to cook on.
This cottage was perfect for our family vacation on Plum Island. We’ll stock, comfortable with a nice out door second floor deck and a short walk to the beach across the road.
Location, house, and weather was fantastic.
The house was clean, comfy and convenient, also well equipped with cooking supplies and beach chairs, etc. and a quick walk to the beach. The gorgeous weather didn't hurt, and the beach wasn't crowded a bit, even on the long weekend.
We flew in from NC for my Nephews wedding in Newburyport! This was the perfect location it was close to church. Beautiful beaches, beautiful cottage, and it had everything we needed for our short trip! We loved the cottage, maybe we could come back to visit in the future! Out trip was too short. Beautiful place
Great property
The property is great and actually much more spacious than the pictures show. I came with my family and there was definitely enough space for group hangs and privacy. The views were great and this place is probably an absolute dream In the summer. The kitchen was super well stocked with dishes and cook ware. However, we stayed over Christmas and it seemed like the house was not really prepared for our stay. There was some trouble with a leaky roof the first night. That being said Bill was super responsive despite being out of state. We were even partially refunded a portion of our stay very easily. The heat doesn’t seem to reach all rooms if it’s cold, but that seems to just be a fact of these types of beach houses.
great location, home is very comfortable.. would book again for sure
Owner was extremely responsive and helpful. The house is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. We stayed for a week and were absolutely thrilled with all aspects of the home and it's convenient location. Can't wait to come back!
In addition to being comfortable and convenient, the house is extremely well-equipped and well-maintained. I say this with some reticence, not because it's not true, but because it may prompt VRBO users to rent it at times I'd like to in the future, which I definitely will.
We had a great week at this property. The house has great bones - great A/C and heat, propane stove that cooks things immediately, plenty of hot water including outside shower, quick wifi. The upstairs deck has a recessed partial ocean view. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, linens, blankets, kitchen items including keurig cups. Location is perfect - away from the public beaches but with 'across the street' access to the beach. If I had to pick one thing to improve it would be the kitchen cabinets and countertops. But not a big deal at all - we're going back next year!
Property was fine! No surprises! Nice location! Thanks for a great week!
This is a cute house in a perfect location. This was our second stay here and hope to come back next year.
I love this house! This is my 3rd summer coming here. The location is perfect, the house is perfect, and Plum Island is perfect! The beds are comfortable and the house is clean. The deck is a great place to spend your evenings relaxing. There's a small backyard, which we used during the day between beach and shopping trips. The only downfall, for me, is leaving! I have already booked for next year. Thank you Bill!!
Bill’s house was perfect: a minute from the beach, short walk to ice cream and the Sunset Grill, and a quick drive to downtown. (If you even need to go down there—the house was thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials, to include a cribbage board and even batteries for the remote control.)
We had a great time at this property. The property manager was super responsive and friendly. The house has everything anyone could need and was clean and right across the street from the ocean. We had a wonderful time.
Great place to stay for a few days.
