We had an amazing two week stay. The air is so fresh on Plum Island.

Steve's cottage is perfect. He has it well stocked with everything you need and it's very comfortable to hang out in. Morning sunrise over the river is so beautiful. We loved walking to the end of the road for sunsets. He lives on the most friendly street and we look forward to talking with his neighbors again next year. We did a lot of site sightseeing on Plum Island, Newbury, and every Beautiful Beach along the way. We really enjoyed getting takeout from Loretta in Newburyport, Outdoor dining at Bob Lobster and Woodsman's. Thank you, Steve, for being a perfect host!

Plum Island magic

Even though we had some rain, Steve’s little slice of Plum Island heaven was warm and cozy! Great location, lotsa places to walk to, and easy to drive to other great spots. The guest house might feel small to some, but we had two adult women and a dog and never felt claustrophobic. Steve was great, available if needed, but still gave us our privacy. The entire time was simply magical!

Quiet Cottage Getaway

Perfectly provided 1-2 person attractive small cottage on a small lot on small street, quiet and friendly, but no view. Kitchen has no dish pan nor 2 person coffee maker( I hate Geuriig). Lots of shade (thank God), and adjoining friendly landlord provides window A/C by July or request.

Plum Island

The guest cottage is very comfortable and Steve is a wonderful host. The location is perfect to enjoy the entire island, Newburyport, and the surrounding shore line - including, most of all, Parker River National Wildlife Refuge - absolutely incredible experience !

Great Plum Island retreat!

My husband and I spent a week at this lovely cottage on Plum Island. Steve supplied everything that was promised and everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The location of the cottage is just right… close to the natural beauty of Plum Island and very close to Newburyport with its many shops and great restaurants. It is also located within an hours drive of many beautiful seaside towns such as Salem, MA, Portsmouth, NH, and Ogunquit, ME. We had a great time! Thank You!

Clean, good use of space, and dog-friendly

Could not have been a better deal, considering price, location, and just all-round friendliness of the owner and surrounding neighborhood. Short walks to numerous water and beach views, and Newburyport has numerous and diverse restaurants just a short distance away. The very nearby Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is the icing on this shoreline cake.

Plum Island Cottage

Exactly as advertised this cottage is well equipped and cozy. Water views and a quiet neighborhood to walk, even on the dunes off Avenue K. Close to local restaurants and a short drive to all that Newburyport has to offer. Lots of rabbits in the area to keep one entertained. It's a great place and the owner is very attentive. Go and enjoy "The Cottage".

Perfect beach cottage

What a fantastic cottage on Plum Island. I plan to do it again next summer. The pictures were accurate. The house is an updated 1 bedroom small cottage behind Steve’s house. It had a small porch where I had coffee each morning watching the sunrise, and lots of parking. I worked while I was there and the WiFi was on 100%. It was about a .5 mile walk to beach, we would drop our beach gear off with the car and park back at house, then walk or bike back to beach. I would SUP in high tide right from ramp by main house. The neighbors were so friendly and Steve was a fabulous host.

Lovely getaway

A lovely little house in a great location on the bay side of the island. Loved sitting on the deck and looking at the water. Nicely decorated, simple but comfortable, with plenty of storage and a well-stocked kitchen. Very quiet, at the end of a dead-end street, with friendly neighbors. Steve was an excellent host, very helpful. Would gladly stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Collier

My name is Steve. I have lived here on plum island for 26 fantastic years. Plum island is an enchanting place with a very special feel to it. I came here in 1992 and never left! You won't want to leave either.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the increasingly scarce old plum island cottages left. It has been updated with a new & modern interior. The house has a real beachy feel to it. The neighborhood as quiet and tranquil as can be. Very Relaxing.

What makes this property unique

It has a unique wooded setting that is like no other here on Plum Island. This location is extremely quiet and tranquil as it located at the end of a dead end street against the Basin. Lots of interesting birds due to the amount of trees around the property. Quick access to some stunning beaches. Awesome Paddle Boarding or Kayaking property, just steps to the Tidal Basin, or venture back to the Great Marsh!
