Very peaceful and quiet spot. Perfect for a short solo getaway. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the nearest beach but would be even easier with a bike. This was one of the cleanest places I’ve stayed and Steve was great.

This little cottage was the perfect place for me, my wife, and our 7 month old puppy for a week in July! On the quieter side of Plum island which was great to walk our dog around and explore. Still within walking distance or a 2 minute drive to all the beach access or restaurants. The house came equipped with a well stocked kitchen, a grill, and a spacious layout that was perfect for chilling after the beach. Steve was also a great host who communicated well ahead of check in and was available if we had any questions or anything. Will be staying again next year!

The cottage was delightful, a perfect place for the two of us and our two dogs. It had everything we needed and more. Located on a quiet dead end street, in a very friendly neighborhood. Steve is a gracious and personable host, we really enjoyed meeting him. It was close to the refuge where we spent many hours birding, we will certainly return!

Quaint Cottage by the Sea

My husband, dog, and I enjoyed our peaceful week at Steve’s cottage. We loved starting our day drinking coffee on the Adirondack chairs on the front porch listening to the birds. The location was perfect, close to downtown Newburyport and the beach. We had a comfortable stay and Steve is a great host. Be sure to watch the sunset from The Sunset Club at the end of the road and get breakfast from Mad Martha’s.

Plum Island Gem

Steve's house is just lovely. Wonderful location on Plum Island, and all the essentials for a wonderful stay. We couldn't have wished for a better week, or better lodgings. And we both felt that we'd known Steve for years, even though we'd just met.

Wonderful little cottage for 2 people. Great neighborhood. Dead end street quiet and safe for dog. Host was very friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to Plum Island center (restaurant/bars, groceries, ice cream shop, fishing tackle, clothing). Very near beautiful beach at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. 10 minute drive to Newburyport ... lots to do.

Plum Island magic

Even though we had some rain, Steve’s little slice of Plum Island heaven was warm and cozy! Great location, lotsa places to walk to, and easy to drive to other great spots. The guest house might feel small to some, but we had two adult women and a dog and never felt claustrophobic. Steve was great, available if needed, but still gave us our privacy. The entire time was simply magical!

Quiet Cottage Getaway

Perfectly provided 1-2 person attractive small cottage on a small lot on small street, quiet and friendly, but no view. Kitchen has no dish pan nor 2 person coffee maker( I hate Geuriig). Lots of shade (thank God), and adjoining friendly landlord provides window A/C by July or request.

We had an amazing two week stay. The air is so fresh on Plum Island.

Steve's cottage is perfect. He has it well stocked with everything you need and it's very comfortable to hang out in. Morning sunrise over the river is so beautiful. We loved walking to the end of the road for sunsets. He lives on the most friendly street and we look forward to talking with his neighbors again next year. We did a lot of site sightseeing on Plum Island, Newbury, and every Beautiful Beach along the way. We really enjoyed getting takeout from Loretta in Newburyport, Outdoor dining at Bob Lobster and Woodsman's. Thank you, Steve, for being a perfect host!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Collier

Host profile image
My name is Steve. I have lived here on plum island for 26 fantastic years. Plum island is an enchanting place with a very special feel to it. I came here in 1992 and never left! You won't want to leave either.

Why they chose this property

This is one of the increasingly scarce old plum island cottages left. It has been updated with a new & modern interior. The house has a real beachy feel to it. The neighborhood as quiet and tranquil as can be. Very Relaxing.

What makes this property unique

It has a unique wooded setting that is like no other here on Plum Island. This location is extremely quiet and tranquil as it located at the end of a dead end street against the Basin. Lots of interesting birds due to the amount of trees around the property. Quick access to some stunning beaches. Awesome Paddle Boarding or Kayaking property, just steps to the Tidal Basin, or venture back to the Great Marsh!
