Great value & location!!!

This house checked all the boxes for us: A/C, 1.5 baths, upstairs deck, outdoor shower, grill, proximity to beach. The house is clean - some fixtures (e.g. couch) are getting old, but overall a great value and great place to stay!

Memorial Day on the beach

The house was clean, comfy and convenient, also well equipped with cooking supplies and beach chairs, etc. and a quick walk to the beach. The gorgeous weather didn't hurt, and the beach wasn't crowded a bit, even on the long weekend.

Quick Family/Friends visit

Stayed here for 3 nights to visit friends and family. Location is easy to get to, beach is just across the street. We were there in the after season so it is much quieter in the area (and some restaurants were closed for the season) but Newburyport is less than 10 minutes away and is always busy. Cottage is a typical rustic New England place, perfect for our needs.

This is our 4 th year staying here. It’s just across the road from the beach, so that location couldn’t be much better! The house could use some updates, but we’re likely to be back again next year. Bill always responds promptly.

Comfortable place for a lovely vacation

As a family, we've been coming to Plum Island for decades, and we've stayed at fancier houses, but the layout and space is perfect with kids, and I love a screened porch, and the upstairs deck is my favorite place to be with a book. The kitchen was well-stocked and clean, and the dining table fit us all for games in the evening. We look forward to returning!

About the host

Hosted by James Antonelli

Host profile image
We live an hour away in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After frequently making day-trips to Plum Island, then renting cottages for a week or two over several summers, we decided to buy a house here where we could build memories for ourselves and our friends. We love the quiet, the bird-song, the closeness of the beach, the summer breezes, and the way the landscape and the light are always changing.

What makes this property unique

Many of our renters have come back year after year when their children are young, and others have been people who once lived on the island and wanted to come back and visit. Winter tenants are often people considering moving to the island, starting a new job in the area, or making another transition. We think this is a house that welcomes people and wants them to feel at home.
