You really can’t beat the location. Though in the more active area of the island, it was quiet and peaceful. The space was very cozy, perfect for two or ideal for a small family. ##### Kirsten P.

Most fun beach and location. My teens love that there are shops to walk to and places to walk to get ice cream. With the sand bars constantly changing it's a new experience each year! ##### Sheila D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily B. 24 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location on Plum Island You cannot beat this location and access to the beach. Right on the sand and walking distance to shops and restaurants. We were able to park and essentially not move the car the whole week. The unit has its quirks, such as the location of the bathroom inside the bunk room and older doors that are sticky, but it is very nicely decorated and easy to keep clean due to the size. Kitchen has all of the essentials and the outdoor space can’t be beat. We will definitely be back! Thank you! ##### Emily B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie C. 22 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Plum Island paradise Location is perfect, comes with 2 parking spots & right across from a parking lot if extra guests visit. Private outdoor area is great and perfect to relax off of the beach with the kids but still be outside. When staying with kids or another couple it may be tricky accessing the bathroom and master bedroom since you need to go through the bedroom with the bunk bed (twin, full & trundle bed). The loft area you need to duck and stay low to access the additional full bed. Having access to a washer & dryer is a bonus with beach rentals, washer and dryer located outside of the house in the garage. Overall a great location, good communication and accessibility with the owner when needed. Would recommend. ##### Marie C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corina B. 26 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location! Great little place on the beach, perfect location to walk to a few restaurants and bars plus ice cream & a great little convenience store across the street! Family of 5 had a great time! If I had to give any suggestions for improvements, I would say perhaps a sectional for the living room would be extremely beneficial just due to the size of the place as it can be hard to hang out there with more than 4 people if weather is bad and you maybe want to watch a movie or play games. The bathroom situation was expected as other reviews indicated you have to walk thru the 2nd bedroom to get to the master or the bathroom but we dealt just fine-even with 3 men! ;P All in all, great place, very clean, thanks so much Tami for the place and your kindness! ##### Corina B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vanessa O. 26 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Location The location can’t be beat, but the rental needs some work. Most notably the walkways shown in the pictures are not usable, they are buried under at least 6 inches of sand. The walkways should be maintained weekly to avoid this. Walking through the sand with a child every time you leave the house is frustrating and unnecessary. The bed in the main bedroom also needs replacing. Otherwise this is a great rental with great location. ##### Vanessa O.

The condo is well-maintained. The very minor issues were the coffee maker (Keurig-like but not brand-name), which only worked about half of the time; including linens would have also simplified the rental. ##### Kate B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Torry V. 6 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Beach Stay Our family had an amazing time in Plum Island. The views from the house were unbeatable, and we saw whales and a seal right from the porch! It would be helpful if the listing was clear regarding the need to bring your own linens. There was also not enough blankets for the trundle and pull out couch. Overall our stay was amazing! Tami was very communicative and accommodating. ##### Torry V. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel C. 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The stay was great overall. When we entered the rental unit there was a lot of sand throughout, and the trash barrels were full and had not been taken to the curb (they had food items left in them so there were some maggots in the barrels, unfortunately). Aside from some trouble trying to fit our garbage into the barrel before the midweek pickup everything else was pretty smooth. Two things I would suggest is replacing the bug screen on the main sliding door, it’s a wonderful feature to have in order to enjoy the wonderful ocean breeze at night, however, the adhesive on the top of the doorframe and side does not seem to be sticking well any longer so there are gaps where bugs can come in. Lastly, the swinging bench on the porch looks lovely and many people have commented about it in the guest book, would have loved to have used it, but it looks like one of the main support rods on the bottom is broken and hanging so we did not want to sit on it and have it break, would be something that should be on the replacement list soon. Aside from those minor suggestions, we enjoyed our stay here, the unit was adorable, had all the amenities we needed and is in a wonderful location, beachfront and an easy walk to all conveniences. I have already sent the VRBO link to a few friends and would recommend it again! Thank you so much for your hospitality! ##### Rachel C.

We found and booked this property for a last minute beach getaway. It was our first time to Plum Island, and we loved it! This house was the perfect location, with a private beach and sandy spot overlooking the ocean, which was fantastic for our almost 3 year old to play and watch the waves. She also loved sleeping up on the loft. The master looked right out at the ocean as well, which was lovely to wake up to the sound of the waves crashing. The house was walkable to several restaurants and ice cream. We stayed the last week of August, and it was so nice and quiet, like our own little private paradise. ##### LIndsey T.

If I my adult children had come, there was no privacy in the bunk room or the loft. I would have to walk through the bunk room for the bathroom. The place is a little small to have 8 people stay. There is enough sleeping, but the couch is large enough for 3 and there are really only enough seating to eat for 5\. The location was beautiful, but the house was good for maybe a small family. ##### Jennie F.

Right had a fence with gate. Listing said it was a “3 bedroom”. Not so. You had to walk through bedroom with open loft bed to get to master bedroom. Bathroom was on bedroom with loft bedroom. Slightly uncomfortable if with another couple. The book in cottage guidelines said NO recycling. But barrel was outside. Night lights not working. Light switches were confusing to was it turned on. Laundry is NOT in cottage. Was outside the building with door that needed code. Could not find. Code and had to send a message. That was tough because messages on app that I ent took a week to get an answer. Found in book a number and sent a message, much quicker. Porch lights not working so replaced bulbs and worked. Faucet cold water handle kept moving around. No dish towels or dish strainer. No hand towels. We had cleaned A/C filters. Window facing rode was so dirty and made it difficult to e out. Master bedroom door would not shut. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Walkway between buildings to get to cottage is filling up with sand and the stairs going up to cottage. We still enjoyed our time. It is directly on beach. ##### Linda A.

We had to pull the car out and park on the side of the road to get our 2 kids in and out of their car seats. that's all not so bad and easy to remedy if you're not bringing kids or they're good sleepers/older. However, there were some other issues with the upkeep of the house that would stop me from coming back, even without my kids. First, there was broken glass on the floor when we got there and my husband cut his foot. that had us stressed about how well the house was cleaned between rentals. The queen sized bed also had a sheet on it (you must bring your own linens and towels so i assume the people who rented it before us left it?) that was covered in sand and someone else's hair, so clearly hadn't been cleaned between people. that queen-sized bed also doesn't fit in the bed frame, so the foot of the mattress rests on top of the footboard and makes it so when you're asleep your head is lower than your feet. we just ended up sleeping with our heads on the wrong end (if you've ever slept on an uneven floor or a mattress pitched the wrong way you know that you feel pretty junky when you wake up, and that's no way to spend your vacation). I was planning to email the owners about the glass and the hair, but then we had a big rainstorm and the skylight in the kitchen started leaking. So I messaged Tami to let her know and she said she'd come by to check it out. I figured I'd just speak to her about the other issues in person, but no one ever came by. I got a message later that night saying sorry for not making it over and that they were scheduled to have the roof done, so she already knew it was an issue. You really can't beat the location but i've stayed in many rentals in tons of different areas of Plum Island over the last 20 years; there are better houses for the price, even if they're farther from the beach. ##### Margaret J.

It had just enough space and the amenities were great. The beach area was probably the best part. Step right out onto the sand and have your coffee or tea overlooking the beach. A really lovely spot. ##### Christine S.

Met all my expectations! ##### Suzan E. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ashlee G. 11 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Perfect location, great for young families Tami's home is very clean and is in a fabulous location; your yard is the beach and ocean and you can walk to restaurants, ice cream, surf shop and a small market. My only reason for not giving five stars is two fold: the bed in the main bedroom needs to be replaced. The frame appears to be broken and the mattress sags greatly. We slept poorly and that is tough considering the nightly rental price. Also, the bathroom is only accessible by walking through the second bedroom. I assume if you have little kids they will not be bothered by this, but it was an issue with our teen. Otherwise, it was a great stay and Tami was very responsive when we had questions. And it's easy to take day trips to other towns in Mass, NH and Maine. And Newburyport is an adorable town, just a few miles away. ##### Ashlee G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ---
