About the host

Hosted by Scott mccown

Host profile image
Growing up on the Seacoast, the ocean has always been at the core for our family. We come from two large local families and Plum Island has always been a destination that marks the summer season, fun in the sun, and is synonymous with family and friends. We are happy to share the Plum Island experience with others; it's an amazing place.

Why they chose this property

BriVera by the Sea represents 5 generations of Plum Island family history and memories. Playing on the sand, jumping in the waves and enjoying the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets are just a small piece of what our family has loved most throughout the years. Plum Island has close proximity to Boston (45 minutes off peak ), and Newburyport which is one of our favorite towns. It has fun shopping, festivals, and absolutely fantastic eats. Sailing, kayaking and fishing is easy to do about anywhere near Plum Island. Location offers great day trip access to the Maine coast, white mountains, lake Winnipesaukee, and so much more. BriVera by the Sea is also walking distance to the Parker River Wildlife Refuge.

What makes this property unique

Located on the very south end of Plum Island, before the nature reserve, traffic is low and things are just easy going. The south end has far less homes and people so the property is truly tranquil. Large windows facing N/S offer great views but captures the gentle breeze that makes it feel like the the beach and vacation. The decks face the ocean and there are limited homes between you and the beach. Cross the open lot, see Google map, and access the beach. Quick and easy.
