Plum Island's crown jewel.

ABOUT PLUM ISLAND. Plum Island is an 11 mile long barrier island just off the shore of Newburyport, Mass. The island faces the Atlantic Ocean and is separated from the mainland by a causeway that crosses spectacular tidal marshes and the Parker and Merrimac Rivers. Most of Plum Island is part of the 4,600 acre Parker River Wildlife Refuge. The remaining part, the northern end of the island is populated with an eclectic mix of cottages, 'architectural mistakes' and trophy homes that truly make it movie set worthy! Just steps away from any home is the beach, ten gorgeous, pristine, unspoiled miles of it. The sunrises, the sunsets, and the stargazing are stunning.

Plum Island has one small, very luxurious beach front hotel, a handful of shops and 3 restaurants, all within walking distance from the cottage. The historic town of Newburyport is the quintessential New England town with a very sophisticated selection of shops, restaurants, galleries and theaters. Day trips abound, as does anything else you would want to do; golf, tennis, boating, kayaking, whale watching, horseback riding, yoga, spas and spa treatments, antiquing, out let shopping etc.

Legend says that Plum Island is a one of a very few Native American sacred sites in North American for healing. I choose to believe this is true. To those that feel it, Plum Island has a very seductive charm and allure.

A wonderful little cottage
Very comfortable, with wonderful outdoor spaces to hang out and enjoy the scenery. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. Eleanor was helpful and very nice. Would love to return someday.

It's a sweet place
If you need a small comfortable rental, perhaps for two couples, this is a decent place. Beds were comfortable, bath towels were plush and thirsty, baths off of each bedroom were lovely, kitchen was well appointed. The second floor outdoor area was our "go to" place for "wine at five". We were on Plum Island to see family and hope this will be a yearly tradition and we hope to rent this cottage again.

Great property
This is the second time I’ve stayed in this home - and both times off season. This home is clean and cozy - everything we were looking for a relaxing retreat! Looking forward to returning!

A wonderful home!
It was a delight to stay in such a sweet seaside cottage, beautifully provisioned, and perfectly situated on one of our favorite vacation spots. The beach is a stone throw away, provisons a short drive away in Newburyport. Eleanor was charming, helpful and welcoming. We're already excited about a return next summer. We couldn't be happier with our sojourn!

Mar 2021 stay
We were mostly comfortable at this property. I would have preferred more window coverings on the first floor. We struggled to open the lockbox that contains the house key. It’s a little stubborn and my hands are not very strong. Overall we found the cottage very clean, well stocked, mostly comfortable, and charming. Very easy access to the beach. I was sad to see how much trash washes up on the beach from the ocean 😔.

Glorious Beach Weekend
I rented this property for three nights with a couple of friends. It is charming and updated. There is a staircase that lands in the kitchen, a delightful place to sit and chat while fixing a meal. The furniture and beds are comfortable and clean. There is a rooftop deck with a view of the ocean. We went prepared for cold and rainy November weather, but ended up with glorious beach weather. I hope I can rent this place again -- it is lovely.
