WOW!!!
Our visit was absolutely incredible. Diane and Chris are amazing hosts, they emailed a few days ahead of time to let us know we could check in early + extended the check out time and left some amazing local treats for us to enjoy. The property is even better in person and we super appreciated all the amenities, fire pit, games and beach items. We stayed here during our wedding weekend and will forever cherish the memories and remember this beautiful home. Thank you so much Diane and Chris for sharing your home and hospitality with us!!

Wonderful Plum Island Retreat
Our stay at the Sand Dollar on Plum Island was delightful. The owner made check in a breeze was was very helpful and attentive. This traditional cottage was tastefully and smartly updated and is only a few minutes walk from the beach. While the weather during our stay was less than desirable, this cozy cottage made for a relaxing retreat. Highly recommend.

Fall family trip
We absolutely adored this cute and cozy cottage style house for our family of 5 vacation. The people who own it really thought of everything! Close enough that we were able to visit Salem, and Boston on different days after we had explored Plum Island and the town of Newbury. We enjoyed the outside area when the weather allowed and the house was peaceful and quiet. This place was a perfect little getaway for this KY family!
