ABOUT PLUM ISLAND. Plum Island is an 11 mile long barrier island just off the shore of Newburyport, Mass. The island faces the Atlantic Ocean and is separated from the mainland by a causeway that crosses spectacular tidal marshes and the Parker and Merrimac Rivers. Most of Plum Island is part of the 4,600 acre Parker River Wildlife Refuge.

The remaining part, the northern end of the island is populated with an eclectic mix of cottages, 'architectural mistakes' and trophy homes that truly make it movie set worthy! Just steps away from any home is the beach, ten gorgeous, pristine, unspoiled miles of it. The sunrises, the sunsets, and the stargazing are stunning.

Plum Island has one small, very luxurious beach front hotel, a handful of shops and 3 restaurants, all within walking distance from the cottage. The historic town of Newburyport is the quintessential New England town with a very sophisticated selection of shops, restaurants, galleries and theaters. Day trips abound, as does anything else you would want to do; golf, tennis, boating, kayaking, whale watching, horseback riding, yoga, spas and spa treatments, antiquing, outlet shopping etc.

Legend says that Plum Island is a one of a very few Native American sacred sites in North American for healing. I choose to believe this is true. To those that feel it, Plum Island has a very seductive charm and allure.

Lovely and comfortable home! The host has truly maximized this space and made it a beautiful seaside escape. Lots of nooks and crannies inside and out to enjoy your time away. Very clean and very responsive. So close to the beach and delicious breakfast around the corner at Mad Martha's, or coffee at Lucy's. Just down the street from Sunset and a quick drive to downtown Newburyport. Highly recommend and hope to be back again!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house. The home itself was spotless, charming, and just a short walk from the beach — truly the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. One of the unexpected delights was the great collection of books; my family and I loved having so many good reads to choose from during our downtime.Our host was exceptional — incredibly responsive and very accommodating when we needed to adjust our schedule. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended.
