Why John Foran chose Newburyport
There is a saying, "Once the sand of Plum Island gets in between your toes, you will always want to return.' This was true for my family as we visited Plum Island for the first time in 2000. We loved the unique island with its beautiful beaches and natural surroundings. We hope others will come to love and appreciate this unique island. Our cottage is a magical - the perfect place to reconnect and recharge. Spending days on the beach and nights in the screened in porch playing games or listening to music. Ride bikes to the lighthouse or to the pier to see the fishing boats off for the day. Greet the day from the basin atop the paddle board or kayak.
What makes this Cottage unique
50 step walk to the basin, shortwalk to the beach, explore island on bike, breezes and views of marsh and basin. Less than 5 minutes away is Newburyport. Enjoy endless dining experiences and take in the free entertainment in the town square.

Great view of the inner bay!
Nice access to the bay for kayaks, the roof top deck was amazing!
I call this cottage "Heavenly Spent"
This is our second year staying at the cottage, we love it there. John and Vanessa are very kind and accommodating , the cottage has everything you would need. We appreciate all of the amenities, I usually am ready to go home after a week away but this cottage is a tough one to to say goodbye to, I will miss my morning coffee sitting on the rooftop deck and greeting the morning sunrise, we were fortunate to have sunshine everyday.
Such a cute cottage right on the basin. My favorite space was the rooftop deck
I went for a week with my teenage girls. We all loved the location of the cottage. We used all the amenities the cottage had to offer. The bikes, paddle board, kayak.
I would love to return next year.
Wonderfully peaceful and charming
My husband and I lived on Plum Island over 20 years ago on the beach side. We come back form time to time, and this time brought my 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend. This sweet house offered something for everybody; beautiful rooftop deck for me, kayaks and bikes for the kids, and close proximity to EVERY food and beverage place for my husband:)
I enjoyed this side of the Island-less hectic, beautiful scenery. Very nice neighbors on this street as well, and a great 3 season porch. Thanks John and Vanessa-we will be back!
Ahhh-dorable place.
We loved this sweet cottage. Very comfy and easy. Rooftop deck is fantastic. Favorite place was the sunroom -- great for gathering in the evening with friends. Nice area for walking. Enjoyed the basin views. Minutes from Newburyport. We'll be back.
My daughters and I loved this place!
I rented this cottage in August of 2014 with my two young daughters and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I was up on the rooftop deck almost every day reading and drinking in the view and on the one rainy day, we spent our time in the spacious sunroom. The view of the basin was lovely and I saw a variety of birds including two osprey fishing in the basin one morning. My girls and I walked along the road many times and loved looking at all the cottages and the wildlife nearby. It's a quick drive into Newburyport where there's plenty of shopping, dining, entertainment and the lovely boardwalk to stroll along. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone who loves a water view and enough privacy to relax and unwind.
