This adorable cottage is actually even more charming in person. Upon arriving I immediately felt at home, so warm and cozy! The outdoor shower was a treat (even in Oct), hot water and great pressure. Enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner in the open kitchen. But also, don’t miss Mad Martha’s for a home cooked meal. I would rebook in a heartbeat.

Wonderful spot on Plum Island! The property was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including cookware, soap, extra linens, towels, coffee, cooking oil, and other thoughtful amenities. It was clear that the host had really thought about the needs of guests and what would make the stay both comfortable and enjoyable. The location is fantastic—just minutes from Newburyport and within about an hour of Boston, Salem, and Portsmouth. Overall, a great place to stay when visiting Plum Island. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!
