Excellent Retreat

This wonderful little house has everything you need for a week or two on Plum Island. The photos are accurate. The open concept makes it seem even bigger in person. The washer/dryer was a huge plus and the master bed was very comfortable! Highly recommend.

Well appointed Beach Bungalow

We enjoyed the property with the acceptation if the smoke detector going off for no apparent reason after we were in bed. Could not shut off alarm without destroying detector. Called the emergency number and no one answered so left message. someone eventually returned the call. Never heard from anyone else about the issue until I reached out again the next day. The second bedroom had no mini split so had to sleep with door open in order to get the benefit of the mini split in the main living area. Ideal for 4 people, but would be very tight for any more than that.
