Quaint Cottage by the Sea

My husband, dog, and I enjoyed our peaceful week at Steve’s cottage. We loved starting our day drinking coffee on the Adirondack chairs on the front porch listening to the birds. The location was perfect, close to downtown Newburyport and the beach. We had a comfortable stay and Steve is a great host. Be sure to watch the sunset from The Sunset Club at the end of the road and get breakfast from Mad Martha’s.

The cottage is a true gem

This place is great all around, it was designed with thought and has the comforting rustic New England charm. Note that the mattress is on the soft side so if you have a bad back, that might be an issue. Otherwise you’ll be plenty comfortable.The location is prime; with direct access to the bay and an easy walk to the ocean and river. Great spot for all water sports and with beautiful, quieter beaches around. The neiborhood is friendly and none intrusive. All in all, it was exactly what I was hoping to find.It was super nice to meet Steve. Great guy, was not around much but made sure I not hesitate to reach out if I needed anything. Even came out to help me tighten up the kayak to the car before I left. Unfortunately, the weather went from spring to fall for the week. I was there so that put a big dent on my plans. I would’ve extended my stay if someone hadn’t already snatched up the place. I will most definitely return!

Steve's house is just lovely. Wonderful location on Plum Island, and all the essentials for a wonderful stay. We couldn't have wished for a better week, or better lodgings. And we both felt that we'd known Steve for years, even though we'd just met.

We had an amazing two week stay. The air is so fresh on Plum Island.

Steve's cottage is perfect. He has it well stocked with everything you need and it's very comfortable to hang out in. Morning sunrise over the river is so beautiful. We loved walking to the end of the road for sunsets. He lives on the most friendly street and we look forward to talking with his neighbors again next year. We did a lot of site sightseeing on Plum Island, Newbury, and every Beautiful Beach along the way. We really enjoyed getting takeout from Loretta in Newburyport, Outdoor dining at Bob Lobster and Woodsman's. Thank you, Steve, for being a perfect host!

Plum Island magic

Even though we had some rain, Steve’s little slice of Plum Island heaven was warm and cozy! Great location, lotsa places to walk to, and easy to drive to other great spots. The guest house might feel small to some, but we had two adult women and a dog and never felt claustrophobic. Steve was great, available if needed, but still gave us our privacy. The entire time was simply magical!

Great Plum Island retreat!

My husband and I spent a week at this lovely cottage on Plum Island. Steve supplied everything that was promised and everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The location of the cottage is just right… close to the natural beauty of Plum Island and very close to Newburyport with its many shops and great restaurants. It is also located within an hours drive of many beautiful seaside towns such as Salem, MA, Portsmouth, NH, and Ogunquit, ME. We had a great time! Thank You!

Could not have been a better deal, considering price, location, and just all-round friendliness of the owner and surrounding neighborhood. Short walks to numerous water and beach views, and Newburyport has numerous and diverse restaurants just a short distance away. The very nearby Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is the icing on this shoreline cake.

Exactly as advertised this cottage is well equipped and cozy. Water views and a quiet neighborhood to walk, even on the dunes off Avenue K. Close to local restaurants and a short drive to all that Newburyport has to offer. Lots of rabbits in the area to keep one entertained. It's a great place and the owner is very attentive.

Perfect beach cottage

What a fantastic cottage on Plum Island. I plan to do it again next summer. The pictures were accurate. The house is an updated 1 bedroom small cottage behind Steve’s house. It had a small porch where I had coffee each morning watching the sunrise, and lots of parking. I worked while I was there and the WiFi was on 100%. It was about a .5 mile walk to beach, we would drop our beach gear off with the car and park back at house, then walk or bike back to beach. I would SUP in high tide right from ramp by main house. The neighbors were so friendly and Steve was a fabulous host.
