About this property

Enjoy this beautiful 4 bedroom home in the heart of downtown Newburyport. Located on Garden Street which is directly off of historic State Street where all of the quaint shops and restaurants of Newburyport are located. Stroll along the board walk along the Merrimack river or take a quick ride to Plum Island Beach which is only a few short miles away. This is the perfect location whether you want to escape to the beach or enjoy all the luxury downtown living that Newburyport has to offer.

Just a block away are downtown Newburyport's Market Square where holiday events and live entertainment go on. Unique, original and beautiful describe the items found in Newburyport's eclectic shops. Shop for the person in your life who's hard to buy for, or find a one-of-a-kind item that's perfect for yourself.

Newburyport/Plum Island is world-famous as a “natural history” destination. Recognized as one of the nation’s finest birdwatching areas, birders and nature enthusiasts from around the world come to this area.

There are whale watch cruises with Newburyport Whale Watch, deep-sea fishing boats, evening party boats, public docks, sunset cruises, and harbor tours. Numerous yacht clubs and marinas are within a short distance of downtown.

Kayaking are ways to enjoy the river and sea. In the summer, the Merrimack River is full of boats; you don’t have to have your own to enjoy the beauty from the water. Instead, you can take a narrated harbor tour or a Plum Island Ecotour.

There are plenty of fish to be caught in the Merrimack River and offshore. If you enjoy fishing, you can cast your lines off the shore of Plum Island, or sign up for an off-shore excursion with the Captain’s Fishing Parties, Rocky Point Fishing Charters or the Clipper Fleet. Or hire a charter boat with Channel Edge Charters.

Located close the brand new Clipper City Rail Trail Walk or bike along the1.1 mile multi-use pathway. Haley’s Ice Cream and various bakeries, coffee shops, and restaurants located a short distance from the trail. Bicycling, running, jogging and walking around the flat streets of the city are popular pastimes. Bicycles may be rented right in downtown Newburyport at both EZ Pedaler and Riverside Cycles.

Newburyport is a restaurant mecca of renown. Fine foods and wine and fine dining for every season. Newburyport’s reputation for exquisite fare is well known throughout New England and beyond. Park your car and you are in walking distance to over thirty restaurants. Locals, day-trippers, and tourists flock to this city of dining delights, not only in the summer but year-round.

We hope you enjoy your vacation in our beautiful home.

Great place to stay

This was my 3rd time renting this house and it doesn't disappoint! Location is perfect, rooms/beds are comfortable and well appointed (lots of hanging/storage space), great living/entertaining space. If I had to list a "down-side", it would be the parking...you can only fit 2 cars for a 4 bedroom house, and the street parking is for 2 hours, so we had to continually shuffle cars and/or walk to the parking lot a distance away. Not a fault of the house/owner...just something to be aware of if you have more than 2 cars (perhaps a street parking permit could be issued to renters for their time there?) Regardless, I would rent for a 4th time if the occasion arose!

Nice property - would rent again

Very accurate listing. Clean and well-stocked, and quite cozy. As others have said, this is a good rental for someone who likes old house charm, not someone who needs wide hallways and access for disabled people. Location is great. Parking is tight, typical for Newburyport. I appreciated that towels and blankets were plentiful. If you prefer a plush towel, you may want to bring your own. Kitchen is excellent compared to other rentals - it has the basics you need but hate to buy just for a weekend, and more than enough tableware. Nice!

Christmas family vacation!

We stayed with family over Christmas weekend and the house was great. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas which was a nice bonus! The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Also can’t beat the location - we walked downtown several times.

Baby's Christening

Needed a large enough home for 8 adults and a one year old. Our adult children and their SO were getting together with us to celebrate our first grandchild's christening. This house was perfect. A meticulously kept, beautifully decorated Captain's house that was a short walk to everything Newburyport has to offer. Highly recommend.

Charming house and neighborhood

Our family was able to reconnect with one another during our stay. Enough communal space, a kitchen with cooking supplies, and private spaces and rooms upstairs. The mattresses were comfortable and the upstairs shower was fabulous. Newburyport is super cute and close with good shops and boardwalk.

Great location, but suffers from lack of maintenance and cleaning

This home is well located in close proximity to all the fun that Newburyport has to offer. It's relatively quiet area, and parking was sufficient. Beyond that, we were on the whole, disappointed by the upkeep and maintenance of the home. The flooring on the ground floor buckled up in areas. The awning over the outdoor table was ripped and rigged to the fencing. There were ample towels but they were old and over used. The BBQ was filthy - could not have been cleaned recently. One toilet seat was broken. Unlike the photos, the living spaces were cluttered (including redundant appliances -e.g., 3 coffee makers in the kitchen) and the furniture was only partially as shown in the photos. The landscaping is not as nicely maintained as the photos depict, and the structure needs a serious power washing to remove mildew. Given the high per-night price, cleaning fees and deposit, we were very disappointed that the property wasn't better cared for.

Incredible location and spacious

We had an amazing week staying here. The beds were extremely comfortable and had a ton of room for our family of 5. The kitchen was well stocked and tons of towels. The location was the best part- 2 minute walk from everything! We look forward to coming back!

Perfect location, comfortable home

Mothers/daughters trip. It was great to have 4 rooms, 2.5 restrooms. It’s a historic home so lots of steep stairs. Back patio area was perfect. The kitchen was stocked. We went to plum island and had wished there were some chairs or umbrellas to use, but that would have been the icing on the cake. It was wonderful and very comfortable! Location could not have been more perfect.

Amazing stay

Was a great place to stay for our family to get together. Beautiful old home. All beds were comfortable with the exception of the top floor bed. The dryer definitely needs to be repaired as the door doesn’t shut so we had to use tape. Second floor sink needs to be snaked or something. First bedroom on 2nd floor has some very loose floorboards. Top floor is very warm. I gave five starts because we truly loved the home. Loved the location. We had an amazing time.

Great Location

Easy lock on door for check in but Picture on VRBO shows red door! It's black now so harder to spot when arriving. Navigating big car on this street and for parking is challenging fyi. House is spacious! Lots of stairs should be mentioned in description...maybe we overlooked? Please replace carpet on lower staircase, very old and dirty....maybe add carpet to upper stairs, might be safer. Would suggest arriving with some basic groceries....not much grocery shopping very close. 7 eleven type store about 4 blocks which works in a pinch for the basics! Overall, a great place to be close to shops, restaurants etc...Newbury Port has many good restaurants, wonderful town to stay in.

Great Location

The house is in a great location, close to downtown and all the shops and restaurants. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. A few things the owners may consider for future renters would include new sheets, linens and pillows, and new bath towels. The kitchen could use some updating, and a few pods for the coffee machines would have a been appreciated. Overall a good stay and the location can’t be beat.

Excellent location!

We stayed over the Christmas weekend. The home was beautifully decorated inside and out which my family loved! This home is in such a great location. Short walk to restaurants and shops in downtown Newburyport. There was plenty of room for my family of 7. I agree with other reviews - the kitchen is pretty well stocked with dishes, silverware, and cookware. There is a Nespresso, Keurig and a regular coffee pot as well. Also has a tea kettle on the stove. It was a bit drafty, but to be expected and we were able to adjust the thermostat when needed. The upstairs was already warm and comfortable. The driveway only fit two of our cars but that was not a big deal. We parked my sons at a nearby park n ride lot at no cost for the weekend.
