My second stay and going back soon for a third. I travel extensively and am in love with this rental. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and the beach and wildlife refuge are right there! Any season here is amazing

The location is great for walks on the beach and the kitchen was well set up for self caterers.

This is a perfect little cottage only steps away from the beach. My family enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to booking next year.

This was our second visit to the cottage. The property has everything you need for a beach vacation. Property is a 3 minite walk to the the beach, offers a very quite environmentat night and is equiped complete for all your housing needs. HIghly recommend this for couples who want a beach getaway.

The property is so much more than the pictures show! Ed was always readily available.

The quaintness is unsurpassed. Convenient to the beach, just 200 steps away. Quiet little “village” of six units but this is the only rental. Meticulous and well appointed.

Plumtucket is a very special place. The cottage is a little gem of perfection. The grounds are magical, especially at night when bunnies dart about the white shell pathways in the shadow of a magical tree.

How often can you say that the place you stayed in exceeded the owner's description or the ambiance portrayed in their photos? On arrival at the cottage we were met by a wild, yet blasé, bunny who kept munching on the emerald green grass that surrounds the cottage, his presence said, "Welcome, there is magic here." Imagine a one floor cottage that by all rights should feel small inside but instead feels expansive and airy with its: cathedral ceilings; two magnificent ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom; skylights and windows aplenty so that no matter the weather outside the interior is light-filled, airy and breezy. Edward's Placid Cottage offers every amenity imaginable and the kitchen was perfect for all of our meals...of course we treated ourselves here and there ( I highly recommend Bob's Lobster shack which has the best Lobster rolls I've ever eaten.) As a couple we love quiet and peaceful spaces, which was our experience for the whole week. A welcome surprise were the neighbors in the other cottages who were very friendly, and equally, respectful of letting us feel as if we were were the only cottage on the property. Once you "live" in a place you start to notice all the little details that the owner took great care in adding, I got a great kick out of the bathroom faucet, seriously!! as the water flowed from its open design like a waterfall! We knew we would I would fall in love with the natural beauty of Plum Island, but to feel that way about the cottage too was unexpectedly lovely. As a host Edward is extremely accessible, friendly, and responsive. We could not ask for a better experience than we had with him. We are truly hoping spend another week in Placid Cottage next summer. Cheers, India and Jim.

I love this place- and come often. The location, the cottage, the neighborhood - are wonderful. I will miss it and can’t wait to return!

This Cottage was amazing. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The cottage has everything you need, and so cozy. Good communication with the owner, really enjoyed my month long stay.

This property is just as advertised!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in this cute cottage a block from the beach. Everything was as pictured. It rained for quite a few days during our stay. Most of our time was spent indoors. It would've been awesome to have had a smart tv to cast our favorite standing apps. Overall, it was great. Cute place to spend a week or so. We really enjoyed ourselves

This was a perfect place to stay during our wedding weekend. Family and friends stayed nearby and we spent a wonderful weekend together walking Plum Island and coming back to a beautiful, clean, quiet cottage.

Even though my husband was in rehab, I had a very nice place to return to each evening.

Lovely property. Very quiet and relaxing! Great proximity to the gorgeous beach. Enjoyed our stay!

Small but well lit, maintained and appointed 2013 cottage outstanding with high ceilings, fireplace, quality construction in great location 1 block from beach access. Ideal for singles and couples.

We really enjoyed our stay. Perfect spot, lovely collection of cottages. The place looked as posted with everything needed for time away. No complaints, would definitely rent again.

We love this property and location. We love the access to the beach and Newburyport restaurants.

Cottage was very nicely equipped and furnished. Very quiet relaxing location just a short walk to the beach.

We very much enjoyed our week at this cottage. The property is beautiful, well maintained with a five minute easy walk to the beach. Our immediate neighbors were friendly and courteous. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet with little traffic considering it is peak season. Easy parking. We will return.

The cottage is simply wonderful. A great place for a couple wanting a quiet, secure location with easy access to a great beach. The cottage and its content is as pictured; its fully equipped and everything is in great working condition. Neighbors are very friendly and helpful. Edward responds immediately and is super supportive. We will definitely book again.

I had a lovely stay at the cottage, Edward is very kind, helpful and responsive as well.

Everything was as promised, and it was perfect for the two of us coming to join-in with our family to celebrate the birthday of our daughter who has a nearby winter rental.

The cottage was great and just the right size for the two of us. Location was perfect: quiet with easy access to beach and Parker NWR.
