Our January stay was more than expected. The house was warm and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with more than most. There was nothing we thought we needed that was not available (from cooking to relaxing). We were fortunate to be able to take a walk on the beach. The access was just across the street. I woud definitely stay at the Ocean Song when visiting family in the area again. Hopefully in warmer weather!

We stayed at OceanSong over a long weekend in October. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Richard the host greeted us on arrival and gave us a thorough overview of the house and local area. house is close to the beach and within walking distance of the National Wildlife Refuge. The drive into Newburyport only takes 15 minutes so this really is the perfect home base for a stay on Plum Island. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day.

We stayed for a cousins getaway. Richard could not have been more helpful. He was waiting for us when we arrived and gave us a full tour, including walking us to the beach. The house was great! It was clean, the beds were comfortable. It’s one of the most well stocked kitchens we have seen so far. It was a 2 min walk to the beach. Even though it’s not right on the beach, we had views of the ocean from multiple places in the house. We plan to stay again if he will have us :-)

My sisters and I so enjoyed our stay at Ocean Song on Plum Island. Richard is a wonderful host and very responsive and helpful. The house is very clean, mattresses are comfortable, plenty of towels, linens and extra pillows, beach chairs, etc. We really appreciated the Bosch coffee machine-barista quality coffees right at the beach house! We enjoyed sunrise on the back deck and sunset on the front deck! Just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy!

OceanSong will only accommodate up to six (6) guests (adults+children). Elisabeth’s review suggests 7 guests stayed. I’m very disappointed. On arrival we discussed, and Elisabeth confirmed, only 6 guests. I will not rent to Elisabeth again.

Wonderful place for a peaceful visit

Richard is a terrific host. He met us at the house and gave us a tour, including some fun local history, a walk to the beach, which is just a short walk away, and every thing we needed to know about the house, which is very comfortable and has a completely stocked kitchen, good mattresses, plenty of pillows and clean linens. First choice for a return trip!
