This was a perfect beach getaway for our long weekend. We were looking for a place within walking distance to the beach. It is basically an efficiency apartment, not fancy but well furnished, comfortable and quiet. Ed is a great host and we will be back!

A charming hide-away....
Ed's place is a perfect spot to enjoy Plum Island - close to town, to the beach and to the Reserve. It's cozy and charming. We very much enjoyed our time there and hope to return soon.

Peace and quiet
This property sits back in a grove of trees and flowering plants but within 5 minutes walk to the beach. Enjoy breakfast or a late afternoon cocktail at the outdoor table shaded by said grove. Simply but satisfactorily appointed, the accommodations are great for a weekend getaway or a week at the beach. Newburyport and it’s many attractions and restaurants is a short 10 minute drive back from this property

Great stay in a cozy apartment by the beach!
This is a great spot, closely located by the beach, pet friendly, and the perfect amount of space. The small kitchen was enough to prepare meals for my wife and I and. There is a great selection of old books and photos. Ed provided great recommendations in the area to visit as well. If you're coming to Plum Island, you don't want to miss this spot!

Great location!
Sweet basement apartment on the southern side of Plum Island. Ed was kind and the location was fabulous with easy access to the beach and a short walk to local shops. This island is magical.

One of our favorite places to stay on Plum Island
Ed's studio is very charming and comfortable. We loved our stay there so much last year that we booked it again this year. It's a quick walk to "town" and the beach; has a lovely outside garden with table and chairs. We highly recommend this rental. Priscilla and John

enjoyed the stay
This little spot was very private and suited our needs just fine. We were able to eat out and then eat in, so we had little trouble with food, the fridge, though small was sufficient to hold just enough, that really helped when packing up for the return. All in all, the trip was enjoyable and the weather was Wonderfull too.

Perfect location
We enjoyed our stay at Ed’s place. Although it’s a studio apartment it was perfect for us with just enough space to relax. The closest beach was perfect and just over a five minute walk. Will definitely be booking again next summer! Thanks Ed

easy walk to the beach
the location was great- an easy walk to the beach! and having dogs allowed is so appreciated! although the owner lives right upstairs we felt that we had the place to ourselves. definitely a good choice if you are looking for a basic, quiet place, close to the beach. thank you!

Beach girl
A wonderfully charming little get away just two blocks from the beach. It isn’t a luxury accommodation; however, it is quaint and most peaceful. Host provides all basics needed and you have a lot of privacy. Great place to disconnect from the world for a bit. There is no television which was wonderful for me.

A cute little get away!
Two things I loved about this stay. Number one Ed is a very accommodating and responsive host. He was happy to make any changes possible to make my stay nicer. I couldn't ask for a nicer, kinder host. Second the property is tucked away and somewhat isolated which is saying a lot on Plum Island which is a highly populated little bit of land. It was a true getaway! I can highly recommend this place to anyone.

Small studio basement apartment
The stairs walking down to the basement apartment are uneven so be careful. When you open the the door you get hit with the musty smell. If you open the dresser, they smell is even worse. There were alive and dead spiders and flies. There is a crack in the bathroom floor that was covered up by a rug. The bed is hard and pillows inadequate. All the other VRBOs I have stayed at, the owner was not there. Here, the owner was upstairs. Was not a nice romantic weekend. On the positive side, it is close to the beach.

Pretty funky
Not up tp VRBO standard: no TV!! Poorly equiped kitchen with the smallest, inadequate refrigerator I’ve ever seen No clothes line or place to hang wet towels and bathing suits Deferred maintenance inside and outside. But a private, quiet location very conveniently located.
