A Christmas we will Always Remember

We rented this home so that we could visit with family & friends for the week of Christmas. It is in a nice section of Plum Island and only a short walk to the water (water views can be seen from the home).We met Richard (the owner) upon our arrival. He welcomed us and showed us around the home. This home has everything needed for your stay. The kitchen is well appointed and the bathrooms even included toiletries. The house is very clean and is nicely heated. There is plenty of parking available in the driveway.Richard responds quickly if you have any questions or concerns.

We stayed at OceanSong over a long weekend in October. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Richard the host greeted us on arrival and gave us a thorough overview of the house and local area. house is close to the beach and within walking distance of the National Wildlife Refuge. The drive into Newburyport only takes 15 minutes so this really is the perfect home base for a stay on Plum Island. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day.

My sisters and I so enjoyed our stay at Ocean Song on Plum Island. Richard is a wonderful host and very responsive and helpful. The house is very clean, mattresses are comfortable, plenty of towels, linens and extra pillows, beach chairs, etc. We really appreciated the Bosch coffee machine-barista quality coffees right at the beach house! We enjoyed sunrise on the back deck and sunset on the front deck! Just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy!

Wonderful place for a peaceful visit

Richard is a terrific host. He met us at the house and gave us a tour, including some fun local history, a walk to the beach, which is just a short walk away, and every thing we needed to know about the house, which is very comfortable and has a completely stocked kitchen, good mattresses, plenty of pillows and clean linens. First choice for a return trip!

Oceansong is wonderful

Family came from out of town for Thanksgiving, and we didn’t have extra beds for them. We rented Oceansong so they would have a place to sleep. It’s a lovely property, very clean, and our guests were very comfortable staying there. The owner, Richard, was very friendly, and accommodating, and we will definitely rent Oceansong again in the future.

The best time at OceanSong

My husband and eloped this past weekend at OceanSong and the experience was amazing. The place was spacious and clean and Richard was so helpful with our checkin and made sure we had what we needed! You also can’t beat the location in terms of walking to the Main Street with restaurants and stores and to the beach!

A wonderful experience

Ocean Song is a wonderful place to stay on Plum Island, Massachusetts. A short walk to a beautiful beach. It is located in a lovely neighborhood. The Home was very clean and well equipped and stocked. There are several decks so you can choose shade or sun throughout the day. We spent long hours relaxing and talking on the deck. Richard, our host, was very communicative and a joy to talk to. We all would highly recommend this lovely property.

The property was as advertised. Very clean, had everything stocked that you might need. It provided a great base for some family time and visits into Boston to visit friends. Richard is so easy to work with. We really enjoyed our time at OceanSong and on Plum Island.
