About this property

Plovers Nest: Stay in the Heart of Newburyport During Yankee Homecoming Festivities!

Looking for that perfect couple’s get-away? Then, Plover’s Nest is the ideal venue for you! Take a short walk to a small local beach, or a longer stroll to miles of beach. Located on a cul de sac on Plum Island – Plover’s Nest is that perfect balance of a quiet location that’s just minutes to all the action!



Newburyport is a 5-minute drive and has so many accolades: best place to live in Boston’s North Shore, Most Charming Downtown, and host of Hallmark Holiday movies. Why? Newburyport’s quaint historic downtown boasts excellent restaurants, unique boutiques, cultural venues (theatre, concerts, museums), and waterfront fun (whale watches, deep sea fishing, sunset cruises, & more)!



Plover’s Nest first welcomes you with outdoor gathering spaces – Adirondack chairs and bistro dining on the covered deck … and you haven’t even opened the door yet! As you enter Plover’s Nest, the home opens to a beautiful kitchen, comfy breakfast bar, and cozy living room.



The kitchen is nicely appointed with high-end appliances: fridge, a 3-burner induction cooktop, a combination microwave & convection oven, and dishwasher. The breakfast bar makes that morning coffee oh so convenient – everything’s right at your fingertips: Keurig coffee maker, coffee, and cups!



The living room with cozy couch & chair, big screen smart TV and a fireplace. The perfect place to snuggle.



Just off the kitchen is the full bathroom with large walk-in shower.



Step out the back door to find the outdoor shower and gas grill.



Ascend the stairs, to arrive at the romantic sleeping loft with en-suite bath. The queen bed is embraced by 90-degrees of water views. Guests can enjoy stunning sunsets! The ideal place for that quiet drink is the upper deck: take a seat at the table; relax, soak in the water views, and watch the stunning sunsets! Hidden behind the doors, guests will find the ½ bath and laundry closet.

**** Explore Plum Island - by foot, paddle or pedal.



Plum Island is a 6-mile long barrier beach that extends south of Newburyport. Most of it makes up the Parker River Wildlife Refuge, which is visited seasonally by nearly 300 bird species.

Walking on a beach across a National Wildlife Refuge, hearing the waves crashing on long, sandy beaches, watching birds and deer nearby…

A walk is a nice introduction to the extraordinary diversity of the Plum Island scenery. Take a walk both on the beach and on the main Refuge road, which offers wonderful views on the Plum Island River marshes and the Broad Sound.



Plum Island creates a nice protected bay which leads to marshes along the Parker River - take a kayak or paddleboard tour through the marshes.

Enjoyable Trip

The property was true to the write up. It was well located, close to the beaches. Downtown Newburyport was a quick drive. We also drove to Rockport during our trip, about 45 minutes away, passing through Ipswich on the way.

Pros: Adorable, cozy house! Very clean and well set up. While the house was small, the bathroom/shower was nice and large. It was located in a nice quiet area.Cons: Would recommend hanging the upstairs curtains higher to cover the transom window and change them to darker/blackout. The streetlight shining in kept us up and made it hard to sleep.Overall a great place though!

Beach getaway

I stayed two nights at Plovers Nest for an end of summer beach getaway. It was the cutest little house, with all the things I could need to make my stay perfect. I really enjoyed the location, the overall setup of the house and how close it was to downtown Newburyport. Overall I had a great stay!

Lovely home w/ river views

Wonderful space in great location! Perfect size for 2 people. We truly enjoyed the modern kitchen & bathrooms, comfy bed & beautiful views from the 2nd floor. The balcony dining set up was perfect for enjoying the gorgeous sunsets. Parking was extremely convenient & we loved being able to walk around the island. Would definitely come back in the future!

Wonderful bungalow

Loved this place. Great location and it was a very quiet space (though I did go and off-season at the beginning of May). Stove and microwave took some getting used to, and I didn’t use the oven, but the kitchen was great. It’s a small space, and the loft is open to the living area so it’s best for a couple that goes to bed at the same time or someone traveling solo. Wish they had a fire pit, but the space was great.

The house is very nice.

There were no sheets for the pull out bed. I sent a text message to inquire about it and got no reply from the host. So we had to make do without sheets for my guest.

Wonderful home away from home

We absolutely loved spending the week at Plovers Nest. From the moment we opened the door we were impressed. The purposed for our stay was my husband had to work in town and since I work from home instead of him driving 2 hours each way we wanted to find a place I could work from and he would have a quick commute. Plovers Nest exceeded our expectation! We had everything we needed to make dinners at home each night and I had no problem working from the house due to the great internet and the desk with ample power outlets. The view from the workspace at sunrise and sunset were unbeatable. This host really thought of every detail and loved the detail of labeling and instructions. We wanted to spend another week, but due to it already being booked (not surprisingly) we were not able to. Thank you for a great experience and a mini unexpected staycation. It truly felt like a home away from home.

house was cute. really like having a second bathroom. frustrating when trying to see if can check in a few hours early (in case the home was ready) but it just seemed like they wanted to get paid for an additional day. didn't end up doing it. school buses all turn around right in front of the property so the back up beeping got annoying

Lovely Home

My husband and I enjoyed our little get away in the Plover's Nest! While we expected a smaller quaint home, we were amazed at the thoughtful storage solutions and the beautiful touches throughout the home. It was very cozy! We would have enjoyed being able to sit outside, but unfortunately the weather was cool and rainy while we were there. We would definitely choose this place again if we ever return to Plum Island!

Always a great stay

Great location, very clean, can bike to the beaches, and there are at least two beach restaurants at the end of the street. Close to Newburyport as well. Hope they get those curtains in on the second floor fixed and there is a vent outside the upstairs bathroom (outside) that needs a hood replaced or it makes noise on a windy night. Such small things true my, and it wouldn’t stop me from staying there again!!!
