We really enjoyed staying here and Plum Island. We requested an early check-in months previously which didn’t happen( my husband is disabled ) that was the only issue.Great parking for visitors . A bit of a walk to the beach but spent most days at the nice cove which is very close and great for small children.

Beach time

The condo was fully equipped with anything we could have needed. It was a clean and welcoming space. The location was perfect... walking distance to a beautiful beach and driving distance into town for restaurants, shops, and walking along the rail trail. The view from the upper deck was awesome. We had a wonderful time.

The view was nice and the beach was close. It was a nice neighborhood for walking and we were lucky to have gotten a place last minute. The communication about certain things was not great so I’m only giving it 4 stars, plus there were some things in the house that could have been better and made our stay more comfortable.

Plum Island gem

Highly recommend! An amazing and wonderfully located property - just steps from the beach. Second floor deck was ideal for morning coffee/evening sunset enjoyment. It was an added bonus to meet the owner - his recommendations re: restaurants/places to see/things to do were spot-on.

This place was amazing- great location, quiet, and close to water. It had everything we needed and more! Dominick was a great host and was available and responsive to any and all requests. Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows and kitchen utensils. There are even beach chairs and wagons to haul all your stuff! Super grateful we found his place.

Friends after 50 years vacation splurge

Beautifully appointed well maintained property and very responsive owner at every step. Views from porch and deck are wonderful of water, breakwater, small boats, dunes with beach grass. Lots of beach access even for two 80 year olds. Plenty of space in the house for a small family reunion. Only challenge was we are so short we had to improvise step up to get into the beds in both front bedrooms!!☺️

Excellent location

We had a very nice family vacation at the Breakers. We celebrated a birthday with our friends who took the quick drive down from Hampton Beach to join us, and we were able to go back and forth between the two and spend time in both towns. Plum Island is such a lovely place and the beach is beautiful. This house was steps from the beach and equipped with nice beach chairs and an umbrella for our use. The house was clean and nice, but not so nice that I was worried about my kids in the space. The ONLY problem we had was the neighbors dog woke us up every morning at 6:30 with his barking. Thankfully my kids are used to barking and did not wake up, but it woke my husband and I. We had a really nice time and made lots of memories here. Thank you!

Great Stay!

The apt is half of the home - the owner resides in the other half. Dominick was very quick with communications and getting things done when requested. He had good suggestions for getting to know the area since we were staying there for a month. The apt exceeded my expectations. It had just been repainted so was very clean and light. It had pretty much anything we could have asked for. There were only two of us with frequent guests, and occasional overnight guests. The place has plenty of space including 2 full baths which is very nice. The 4th bedroom, as mentioned in another review, requires pass through the master bedroom so would be best for children related to the "masters". The beach access is just across a very quiet street - a nice mat walkway takes you up the dunes and down to the open ocean. You can hear the waves from the ocean from the unit. You can watch the boats come and go in/out of the mouth of the Merrimack River to the open ocean from the top deck which is ample. The deck is accessed via a slider in the master bedroom. Plenty of parking is offered (4 spaces) which is critical in a place like Plum Island where parking is at a premium. The only downside is that the owner's dog tends to greet other dogs walking (via his barking). Most days the dog went with his owner to work or wherever, so was gone a good part of the time. And if you are fond of dogs, you will meet a very beautiful one there. All in all, I would recommend this property.

Great location, nice host.

We were 6 adults and I would say that is about the maximum to fit comfortably. The house (or half of it since only the side to the right of the front steps is rented) is in a great location, steps from the beach. It has everything that is needed for a short stay, though could be organized a bit better. The layout is also a bit weird with the access to one of the bedrooms going through the master bedroom and one of the bathrooms being downstairs, but it was not an issue for our family. The owner was very responsive when we had questions or an issue.

Looks are deceptive!

Picture looks like a lovely 2+ story beach house. In reality what you're renting is only HALF the house with access to the upper deck only through one of the bedrooms... not very convenient for the rest of the guests. We asked twice during the booking process about air conditioning as we expected it to be hot. We specifically asked if the whole house had AC and received a reply of "yes". Upon arrival we discovered that one bedroom had only a fan. The other rooms had portable units that were jerryrigged into the window. One was on the top of a narrow stairway to the attic bedroom. Ok - awkward but they worked. The temp was well over 90 most of the week and one guest had to leave on night one and find another place. We contacted the owner through Homeaway and by phone but received no response until 5 days into the stay- we have documentation of this. The manager, Brian, finally told us he would bring another unit which he did not deliver until 9:30pm the night before our last day there. The unit was a large old boxy thing that smelled so bad when it was turned on that no one wanted to sleep there. The kitchen had all the basic appliances like coffee maker and blender but was poorly equipped in other ways such as only a few pots and pans. This made it difficult to cook for a family of 7-8. The kitchen floor was covered with an old stained carpet. I imagine the owner covers floors and furniture for protection but I never saw a carpet in a kitchen and it seemed unhygienic. The small dining area was part of the kitchen and had only 6 chairs. For a house with 4 bedrooms and potentially 8 guests, there is no adequate space for dining together. Slightly rundown beach houses can be charming but this one seems best for a group of college kids who are not going to cook much, not for families who want to gather together in a clean well-lighted place.

Aurele, We are sorry that the property did not meet your expectations. Please be more attentive to the listing in the future, because we do list the property as a duplex. We have not had any of the above listed complaints in the past and we are always working to make our guest experience a pleasant one. We never said that there was an ac unit in every single room and it has not been a problem until now. We will work in the future to make the experience more pleasurable.

Great Stay on Plum Island

We had a wonderful time at Dominick's place. Great location right across from the path to the ocean beach or a calmer beach off the inlet which was great for my grandchildren. The duplex had everything we needed. Loved having coffee on the upper deck in the morning where you could watch the boats coming and going. Would love to return again next year.

Relaxing Beach Vacation

Perfect house for a family to enjoy time relaxing at the beach. This four bedroom house was perfect for our family of 8 including teenage children and grandparents. The deck looks out to the ocean and has both beautiful sunlight and beach views. Everything was provided such as towels and linens so makes for an easy trip. If you are looking to relax and enjoy the beach this is the place for you.

The space has everything you need to enjoy a beach front vacation. Absolutely fantastic!

This property has it all! A beautiful view of the water from the deck while you enjoy morning coffee, dinner, or an evening cocktail. Watch the boats come and go. The decor is perfectly beachy. The kitchen has all the convenience of your own kitchen. The bed and bath linens perfectly matched the decor. I must say my favorite thing was baskets full of beach towels! You don't even need to bring sand chairs or umbrella!! We loved this spot so much we are already looking forward to our next visit!! Can't wait to get back to The Breakers on Plum Island!

The Burnham family were absolutely a pleasure to host. Out of 5 Stars I would give them a 10! Housekeeping arrived after their departure & they thought the place was already done. It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend the Burnham family I hope they decide to return again next summer ! Dominick Garibaldi
