Why the Owner Chose Plum Island
We fell in love with the light on Plum Island. it is quite unique and one of the last coastal towns in the area that is still relatively authentic. We wanted an original house with character to capture the true essence of PI and we found it with the West Wind.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The porch is a key benefit. It was constructed in the 1920s using windows from an old school in Newburyport and two windows have huge screens in them for nice ocean breezes. You can either relax on the wider part with friends or while away the time on a rocking chair at the front section. The house is also one of the last remaining original cottages. It is almost 100 years old and we have restored it to retain most of it's character while making it suitable for modern day living.

We stayed in this cottage for 3 weeks last spring and it was just beautiful. If you want a real beachhouse instead of a typical family home we would highly recommend this. They take well behaved dogs which is really convenient. The house is incredibly clean and very pretty. The beaches are only a minute or less away and this part of the island is really nice and quiet.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
