    We had a lovely stay here on New Year’s Eve and day. The kitchen had everything we needed to have a nice dinner. We were able to watch a beautiful sunset from the house. The house was clean and was an easy walk to the beach!

    What a fabulous house. We celebrated Thanksgiving which is a tradition to take the weekend and spend time together. This is our favorite location yet. It is very well stocked for cooking which is always a treat. The bedrooms are exceptionally comfortable and there are thermostats in every room. So each person's preferences for temperature are available. Really awesome experience! Thank you so much!

    We had a wonderful stay at this very clean, quiet, and spacious whole house within walking distance to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. There was easy access to a pristine and sandy beach, cute decor, very comfortable mattresses, and great water pressure. We would definitely stay here again.

    Nestled just steps away from the pristine shoreline, this property offered the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience.From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this house was wonderfully appointed. Every room was tastefully decorated, showcasing a blend of modern aesthetics and cozy beach vibes. The open-concept living space was bright and airy, filled with natural light, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day in the sun. The kitchen was fully equipped with high-end appliances, making meal preparation a breeze.Cleanliness is often a concern when renting a vacation property, but this house was immaculate. It was evident that the owners take great pride in maintaining their space, ensuring that every corner was spotless and welcoming. The location couldn't have been better! With the beach just a short walk away, we found ourselves enjoying sun-soaked days without the hassle of driving or parking while being close enough to town for great dining and shopping. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway spot. We can't wait to return!

    We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is spacious and the bedrooms and kitchen had everything we needed. The second floor living space had beautiful natural light from all the giant windows. Easy 2 minute walk to the beach, and although its not directly on the water you can hear the ocean from the deck. Easy off street parking too. We stayed during the off season, so the area was pretty quiet which we enjoyed. Visited some great coffee shops and restaurants nearby as well. We would love to stay again in the summer!

    The house is exactly as pictured and a short walk to the beach. On clear days, we could see the ocean in the distance. The home is well-appointed, with comfortable furniture, quality kitchen utensils, generous “base” supplies, and the whole house was spotless! We loved driving into Newburyport to shop and dine (be sure to eat at Poynt!), and, had the weather been nicer, we would’ve walked around the neighborhood or on the rail trail. Absolutely perfect for our annual girls’ weekend!

    We’ve stayed at Plum Island for years and this was our first time booking this home. It was perfect for our Thanksgiving getaway with extended family- three generations under one roof! So close to the beach and the wildlife preserve as well. Highly recommend!

    Four adults with four kids (age 5 and under) stayed comfortably for 2 nights to attend a wedding in the area. The beach was close by and very nice. Parking for large SUVs was easy. The bedrooms downstairs and living space upstairs was a very good layout for our stay with young kids; it was good to have that separation. Beds were comfortable, couch was comfortable, and kitchen was very functional. Plenty of bathrooms for our stay. Many large beach towels were made available to use. We considered using the trundle bed as a sleeping option for a child but no extra linens were readily available and the fitted sheet on that bed was not clean. The top bunk was fine for a 5 year old but didn’t seem sturdy enough for an adult or a larger child. Bath towels were clean but there weren’t extra available. Overall we found the house quite suitable and we would come back for another long weekend another time!
