Such a cute, fun place to stay on our girls' trip! The place was perfect for just the two of us. A quick drive to the quaint town of Newburyport, plus a train to Salem or Boston for day trips. I would highly recommend this property!!

Very clean and well-appointed. Buses start at 7:00am and back up right in front of the house so you cannot sleep in. Just an fyi for anyone that likes to sleep in on vacation. Other than that we loved the place.

Great trip!

Everything about Plover’s Neat was top notch. The house itself is very well build, tastefully decorated and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the gas fireplace was a nice touch on our cool nights. Great location at the end of the street which made for quiet nights (we did go off season). We were also able to get into the accommodations early which was wonderful!

Overall, we were really impressed with the location — it’s ideal for one couple traveling.Make sure to stop by Mad Martha’s, Lucy’s, and downtown Newburyport. We loved our dinners downtown, especially The Goat, where we enjoyed their Tuesday BOGO burgers and live music.

The Plovers nest is a perfect couples get away. Close to everything but yet far enough away. Place is spotless and very well appointed. Everything you see in the pictures does not do it justice. Only recommendation I would give is just book it you will not be disappointed! First time on Plum Island and will be back.
