This was a perfect beach getaway for our long weekend. We were looking for a place within walking distance to the beach. It is basically an efficiency apartment, not fancy but well furnished, comfortable and quiet. Ed is a great host and we will be back!

One of our favorite places to stay on Plum Island

Ed's studio is very charming and comfortable. We loved our stay there so much last year that we booked it again this year. It's a quick walk to "town" and the beach; has a lovely outside garden with table and chairs. We highly recommend this rental. Priscilla and John

Great stay in a cozy apartment by the beach!

This is a great spot, closely located by the beach, pet friendly, and the perfect amount of space. The small kitchen was enough to prepare meals for my wife and I and. There is a great selection of old books and photos. Ed provided great recommendations in the area to visit as well. If you're coming to Plum Island, you don't want to miss this spot!

Convenient and quaint

Very nice to be so close to the beach and enjoy the national park. Might suggest a newer AC unit as it would likely save on electric and cool more efficiently. Host was very polite and quiet and a nice neighborhood.

Charming studio in a lovely spot on Plum Island

This is our third stay at Ed's studio on Plum Island. It is charming and very comfortable, shor walking distance to beach and restaurants, general store with ice cream "parlor". The bed is very comfortable, the garden is private, quite and visited daily be birds and neighborhood "wild" turkeys. Ed is a great host; easy to contact and responsive. We hope for another stay next year.

Peace and quiet

This property sits back in a grove of trees and flowering plants but within 5 minutes walk to the beach. Enjoy breakfast or a late afternoon cocktail at the outdoor table shaded by said grove. Simply but satisfactorily appointed, the accommodations are great for a weekend getaway or a week at the beach. Newburyport and it’s many attractions and restaurants is a short 10 minute drive back from this property

Pretty funky

Not up tp VRBO standard: no TV!! Poorly equiped kitchen with the smallest, inadequate refrigerator I’ve ever seen No clothes line or place to hang wet towels and bathing suits Deferred maintenance inside and outside. But a private, quiet location very conveniently located.

Cute cottage that could use some dusting

The location of this cottage is excellent! But there were some dust bunnies and we would have appreciated a little more cleanliness. The Wi-Fi password did not work and when I reached out to the owner he never responded. That was a bit of a disappointment but not the end of the world.

Small studio basement apartment

The stairs walking down to the basement apartment are uneven so be careful. When you open the the door you get hit with the musty smell. If you open the dresser, they smell is even worse. There were alive and dead spiders and flies. There is a crack in the bathroom floor that was covered up by a rug. The bed is hard and pillows inadequate. All the other VRBOs I have stayed at, the owner was not there. Here, the owner was upstairs. Was not a nice romantic weekend. On the positive side, it is close to the beach.

A quiet, private getaway

This understated property is in a quiet, very private spot with an outdoor seating area, large parking spot and beach access just a short walk away. This is not fancy, it is rustic and quaint, but has perfect amenities and plenty of storage/space inside. The kitchen was well-appointed with freezer and refrigeration, stove, microwave, coffee maker and full sink. Everything you need is there - pots and pans, dishes, silverware, dish soap, towels and even aluminum foil and plastic wrap for leftovers! The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the bathroom was fine with extra towels, a full tub and shower. Laundry was available if you need it. It had reliable, free Wi-Fi which allowed me to work from the room - and also allowed me to watch streaming movies and television from my computer. There isn't a television in the room, but there is a cable hookup in the room. If you're looking for fancy and flashy, this is not the place - but this is better - it has a library of classic books, local artwork, photographs and a homey feel. Really, it felt more like being in a really nice cabin in the woods! I recommend this location and can assure you that Ed was a gracious and kind host.
