We had a great time. The host is easy to contact, and gets back to you promptly. You can not beat the views and location. The cottage is more than adequate for a small get together

Fabulous location and cozy, with just enough space for our family; 2 adults, 2 young teen boys, and a small dog. We loved the covered porch and various outside seating areas. Communication with Tami was easy and prompt! I’m booking it already for next year and it can’t come fast enough!

Watching the sunrise with a coffee on a private porch is tough to beat. Great location right on the beach with multiple shops and restaurants walkable within minutes. The place was reasonably clean, but in need of a lot of maintenance.Host had some poor communication. I was accused of bringing two dogs without permission, even though I explicitly got approval before booking. They apologized but then expectations for payment of a pet fee were not communicated properly. We were blamed for damage to furniture that was there before us, but I didn't think to take photos when checking in. We came to an agreement in the end, but I don't think I would book with this host again.

An adorable home where you feel the ocean breeze. It had just enough space and the amenities were great. The beach area was probably the best part. Step right out onto the sand and have your coffee or tea overlooking the beach. A really lovely spot.

Amazing Location

It was our first time staying beach side and this little bungalow offered so much. You really can’t beat the location. Though in the more active area of the island, it was quiet and peaceful. The space was very cozy, perfect for two or ideal for a small family.

Some response was delayed. Lots of sand in the pathway which hadn’t been cleaned out. Parking was definitely a challenge for two full sized SUVs . No way were we comfortable parking in what was noted as two parking spaces.

Unreal location

This property is amazing. The view is unparalleled. The kids played in the sand from sun up to sun down and our beach time wasn’t disturbed with baby/toddler nap time because we were right outside the whole time. We loved our stay!

Perfect getaway as always

This is our third year and we will be back next year again. Most fun beach and location. My teens love that there are shops to walk to and places to walk to get ice cream. With the sand bars constantly changing it's a new experience each year!

The views and beach are absolutely gorgeous! I was slightly taken aback that they expect you to bring your own sheets. We also had some difficulty figuring out how to get in, but eventually figured out to go through the back gate. Other than that we had a lovely time and enjoyed the rental!

Great Beach Stay

Our family had an amazing time in Plum Island. The views from the house were unbeatable, and we saw whales and a seal right from the porch! It would be helpful if the listing was clear regarding the need to bring your own linens. There was also not enough blankets for the trundle and pull out couch. Overall our stay was amazing! Tami was very communicative and accommodating.

Perfect location on Plum Island

You cannot beat this location and access to the beach. Right on the sand and walking distance to shops and restaurants. We were able to park and essentially not move the car the whole week. The unit has its quirks, such as the location of the bathroom inside the bunk room and older doors that are sticky, but it is very nicely decorated and easy to keep clean due to the size. Kitchen has all of the essentials and the outdoor space can’t be beat. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Perfect spot for small family!

We found and booked this property for a last minute beach getaway. It was our first time to Plum Island, and we loved it! This house was the perfect location, with a private beach and sandy spot overlooking the ocean, which was fantastic for our almost 3 year old to play and watch the waves. She also loved sleeping up on the loft. The master looked right out at the ocean as well, which was lovely to wake up to the sound of the waves crashing. The house was walkable to several restaurants and ice cream. We stayed the last week of August, and it was so nice and quiet, like our own little private paradise.

Nice location

The bedroom setup is very miss leading. If I my adult children had come, there was no privacy in the bunk room or the loft. I would have to walk through the bunk room for the bathroom. The place is a little small to have 8 people stay. There is enough sleeping, but the couch is large enough for 3 and there are really only enough seating to eat for 5. The location was beautiful, but the house was good for maybe a small family.

Plum Island paradise

Location is perfect, comes with 2 parking spots & right across from a parking lot if extra guests visit. Private outdoor area is great and perfect to relax off of the beach with the kids but still be outside. When staying with kids or another couple it may be tricky accessing the bathroom and master bedroom since you need to go through the bedroom with the bunk bed (twin, full & trundle bed). The loft area you need to duck and stay low to access the additional full bed. Having access to a washer & dryer is a bonus with beach rentals, washer and dryer located outside of the house in the garage. Overall a great location, good communication and accessibility with the owner when needed. Would recommend.

Great location!

Great little place on the beach, perfect location to walk to a few restaurants and bars plus ice cream & a great little convenience store across the street! Family of 5 had a great time! If I had to give any suggestions for improvements, I would say perhaps a sectional for the living room would be extremely beneficial just due to the size of the place as it can be hard to hang out there with more than 4 people if weather is bad and you maybe want to watch a movie or play games. The bathroom situation was expected as other reviews indicated you have to walk thru the 2nd bedroom to get to the master or the bathroom but we dealt just fine-even with 3 men! ;P All in all, great place, very clean, thanks so much Tami for the place and your kindness!

Location

The location can’t be beat, but the rental needs some work. Most notably the walkways shown in the pictures are not usable, they are buried under at least 6 inches of sand. The walkways should be maintained weekly to avoid this. Walking through the sand with a child every time you leave the house is frustrating and unnecessary. The bed in the main bedroom also needs replacing. Otherwise this is a great rental with great location.
