Take a stroll down the beach and purchase tickets for the next deep sea fishing excursion to catch "monster" Haddock, Cod, Pollack, and Halibut.

For the boating enthusists, the Arctic cottage also has a deep water mooring that's available to all guests of the cottage.

Located at the Northern tip of Plum Island, 10 minutes from downtown Newburyport...fast becoming the #1 Summertime Destination Point in Massachusetts.

This 1920's vintage Plum Island cottage - known as the "Arctic Cottage" is one of the oldest cottages on Plum Island. Originally built as a seasonal cottage, many of it's architectural features were designed to take advantage of it's seaside location. The distinctive wrap around porch that provides shade and shelter after a long day out on the beach...the "pocket" windows that mysteriously disappear into the walls to take advantage of the summertime breeze. The expansive windows throughout the cottage that brings the outdoors - inside...transforming the cozy beachfront cottage into an "on the water" experience! To get a "bird's eye" view of Plum Island and to see the cottage's location...go to Google Maps and enter the address - 82nd Street Newburyport, MA.

This cottage was even better than I had hoped. I stayed for a week, and then booked another week 2 weeks later! It is right on the water, has a great covered deck, is well appointed with updated furnishings and appliances. The location is spectatcular. Highly recommend! Plus the owner is very easy to work with.

Visiting the Arctic Cottage is the quintessential New England experience. The views, salt air, swimming, beachcombing, and access to fine dining,boutique shopping and Starbucks make it the perfect family vacation. We're looking forward to our third year of creating lifelong memories for our children at the Arctic Cottage!
