Our home is fully furnished with Fire TV televisions in the living room and in the master bedroom, a well stocked kitchen, two bedrooms and a screened in wrap around porch facing the basin. All linens and towels, and 4 beach chairs are provided. The indoor bathroom has toilet, shower and sink, and there is another shower located outside.

Fun beach cottage get-away

Our family of four had a lovely stay at this waterfront home. The cottage had what we needed. The outdoor shower, colorful furnishings, hammock, and comfortable sitting areas overlooking the tidal basin made for a very pleasant stay.

Summer beach visit with family

Our family loved our stay here. It has authentic New England beach house charm, upgraded with all of the modern amenities. The back porch has an incredible view of the sunset over the basin. Our kids loved going out into the basin when we weren’t doing a full beach day (but bring waterproof shoes with strong straps if you are going to walk into the basin!).

Great Location! Gorgeous views off the back porch, hang for a phenomenal sunset. House is well appointed, kitchen, towels etc... Dave communicated everything clearly. Outdoor shower was awesome, beach a short walk away with the bay as your backyard! Would stay here again!

Lovely cottage and setting

A true cottage with loads of charm but with every convenience and a well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds and a gas fired “wood stove” came in handy for chilly mornings. But the best part is being right on the water and 2 blocks to the ocean. It is a tranquil and beautiful spot and Dave was responsive when I had a question. Would definitely go back again. Only caution is the stairs to second floor are steep and narrow.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Brouillette

Host profile image
We are a bi-coastal family having raised our kids in Newburyport and family both east coast and San Francisco. We love spending time at our Plum Island cottage and enjoy sharing it with others when we are not there.

Why they chose this property

We feel our cottage offers the best of both worlds with sunrise on the ocean beach just a five minute walk away and pictures sunsets in your backyard every evening.

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of our cottage is having your own private beach steps from your back door. Enjoy your own private safe space away from the crowds.
