Oceanfront Luxury Home: 6BR - 4 King, 4.5 BA, Elevator, 3 Decks & Hot Tub
Blue Sky will lure you in with its oceanfront views, private walkway/stairs to the beach, six-person hot tub facing the ocean, deck spanning the length of the house, a sunset deck facing west, a sundeck facing south, and a two-level swing set for the kids.
Enter the house through a grand stairway or an elevator with handicapped access to all floors. Choose to sleep in one of the 4 king bedrooms, the middle bedroom with two twin beds, or a fun loft with 4 single beds. Enjoy the open-concept gourmet kitchen, living room, dining room, and sunroom all with incredible views of the Atlantic. Blue Sky also offers stunning views of the Great Marsh, Newburyport harbor, Cape Ann, Salisbury Beach, Hampton Beach, and Isle of Shoals. All amenities on Plum Island are within walking distance or a 5-minute drive to historic Newburyport.
This house has been our family's primary residence for over 30 years. It is a dream come true to live on the ocean in a community rich with maritime and American history. We have always loved to share our home with family and friends and now we share it on a rental basis for 2 1/2 months in the summer with families who will enjoy it and treat it like their own home. Our Newbury short-term rental permit number is 2026-038.
Our optimal rental clients are families or extended families with 14 members or less, especially those with accessibility requirements (elevator). We have also rented to sets of friends who like to vacation together. To minimize excessive wear and tear and respect our neighbors, we refrain from renting to local families who want to invite local friends and/or business acquaintances for beach/house parties. No parties or events are allowed or guests beyond the rental party itself, without prior approval. Instant booking is allowed, although we will review clients to make sure they fit this profile, and recommend it is not a good fit if they desire to open the house to extra guests beyond the rental party.
We bought the original cottage, which was located on the ocean side of the property, and built this house while living in the cottage. Since the house is built into the primary dune, the main entrance and driveway are at the basement level. During a renovation 15 years ago, we installed an elevator to make the house wheelchair accessible. The family bathroom toilet and sink, as well as the outdoor shower on the main deck, are wheelchair accessible. We are happy to extend all the joys you'll find in this house for those with extra needs.
Upon arrival, we give everyone a 30+ minute tour of the house and show you how everything works (i.e. elevator, German-style tilt/turn windows, A/C systems, fully automatic generator backup system, hot tub, etc.) and answer any questions you may have. During your stay, we will be available by phone and in person, and have technical support on call if any maintenance issues arise during your stay. Some systems are automated and we get web notifications if there's a water leak, if the Sub-zero refrigerator doors are left open, etc. The light switches are automated and we can remotely provide assistance turning on or turning off lights, if necessary.
The surrounding areas of Boston, North Shore, Portsmouth, NH, and all of northern New England are all at your disposal when you stay at Blue Sky.

About the host
Hosted by David Williamson
I'm 70 years old and have worked in the high-tech industry for 25 years and have now quasi-retired to manage real estate holdings. I remarried in 2015 and have a 27-year-old daughter and a 30-year-old son. Besides enjoying my wife, children, and extended family, I love to fish, boat, sail, swim in the ocean, body surf, etc. The ocean itself is ever-changing and every day it presents something different to enjoy and marvel at and makes you feel grateful to be alive.
Why they chose this property
It's always been a dream to live right on the ocean. The house sleeps up to 14 people in beds plus a pull-out couch and single pull-out loveseat. It has an elevator for those less ambulatory and plenty of common areas for everyone to hang out...perfect for the family reunion! Enjoy views of the beach, ocean, Isle of Shoals, Great Marsh, Newburyport, Merrimack River, fireworks from Salisbury Beach and Hampton Beach, and even a Maine mountain in the distance. Within walking distance of the house on Plum Island, there are restaurants, a convenience store, a liquor store, and a bait and tackle shop. Newburyport, a five-minute drive, is a historic seaport town in all its original brick facades and was one of the most productive ports in early Colonial history. Newburyport is full of shops, restaurants, riverfront boardwalk, fishing charters, sailing charters, whale-watch tours, theatre, free waterfront concerts, etc. It was voted one of the top three cities for its flower box displays. The house is within a short drive of Boston, Portsmouth, Kittery ME, etc. Enjoy all the history and sights of Boston, the outlet shopping in Kittery, ME, and the history and sights of Portsmouth, NH.
What makes this property unique
Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves hitting the shore in front of the house. Sit on the ocean deck and enjoy the boat traffic or people watch those on the beach. Enjoy views of the ocean from all six bedrooms. Bake in the sun on the Sun Deck which catches rays all day long. Watch the sunset from two of the five bedrooms. Enjoy the sunset with a cocktail as well as a panoramic view of downtown Newburyport, NH, Maine, and the ocean from our Sunset Deck. Watch a movie with the extended family on a choice of 70' or 55' large-screen TVs or play cards or board games at the dining room table with the ocean as your backdrop. Play a game of cornhole on the deck if you're waterlogged from too much body surfing or swimming in the ocean. Make sand castles galore or relax your muscles in the 7-person hot tub.
