The cottage was adorable, spotless and missing nothing. We especially loved the decks, where we spent a good deal of our weekend. The owner made sure we were settled and was available to answer any questions that came up; she was kind and helpful. We highly recommend this sweet cottage.
We loved our time in this special house. The view from the back was perfect for coffee and afternoon cocktails. Easy walk to the “secret” beach and even closer walk to the sunset club and other eating establishments. Our family had a great time here. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The owners were extremely helpful and kind. We can’t wait to go back!

Thank you Audra! I am so happy you will be back in the summer snd that you all enjoyed your time. Thank you for being a great guest!
Our small group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Moon Cottage. The kitchen area and large table easily accommodated us and the kitchen was well appointed for us to enjoy dinner and breakfast times together. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The decks with plenty of seating to enjoy the views of the marsh and sunsets were perfect too. We llook forward to returning soon!

Thank you Lori. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back again.
This was our second visit to Blue Moon Cottage. The views from the home and many decks are stunning. Wonderful secluded privacy being at the end of the road on the marsh. The home is easy to enjoy with a small group or family with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. We will be back to enjoy this lovely cottage again.

Thank you Lori! It was a pleasure to have you and your guests back. Please come back anytime and appreciate the kind review.
Everything about our stay at the Blue Moon cottage was incredible. The sunsets at night that we could see from any of the three decks were spectacular. The master bedroom has a pane of stained glass and many windows that let in the incredible air at night. The master bathroom has a nice washer/dryer set. The house itself has three showers, one of them outside. We loved everything about the house. The owners responded quickly whenever we had a question. We did not want to leave.
This is our second summer staying at Blue Moon Cottage. The house’s three decks face the marsh, and are great places to have morning coffee and watch the sunset. In the mornings, we often saw a blue heron and egrets. We love the peacefulness of the marsh, but we also love the ocean. The beach is less than a mile from the house. The master bedroom is perfect- lots of windows make it easy to enjoy the fresh air at night. There is a washer/dryer in the master bathroom. If you like outdoor showers, you’re in luck. We love this house and its surroundings.. Can’t wait to go back next year.
We have stayed on Plum Island many times, and this was absolutely our favorite rental. Communication with the owner and check-in/check-out were seamless. Upon pulling up to the property, we were struck by its quaintness, and then once we entered the home, we could see how much work was put into updating it. The first floor master suite is large and gorgeous, kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, and the upstairs space works well for four additional people. Now the view... it's just incredible and the outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Usually on vacation, we might turn on the TV in the evening, but the TV never went on because the view was so gorgeous. We were mesmerized. Don't hesitate to rent this property. We will definitely return!
