Wonderful stay, short walk from the beach

The location is ideal for a walk to the beach or to the Sunset Club and RipTide. There is a cute little store that has a great array of vacation needs from liquor to beach toys and greenhead bug spray. The Parker River Refuge is just down the road. Charming downtown Newburyport is a short car ride away. The apartment is fresh and clean with a well-appointed kitchen. The space is comfortable. There is a good sized outdoor area and parking (a big perk for PI). The Host was very responsive. Our visit was over a couple of very hot days so the lower level living helped to keep us cool. The bathroom had a step up that was a little hard to get used to but the bathroom was nicely renovated. There is a washer and dryer which would be handy for a longer stay (we did not use). Plum Island is a beautiful spot with a retro beach feel. The apartment is a good find.

This place is great - so convenient and comfortable.It had everything we needed - well stocked kitchen, laundry, very comfy couch area, beds were also comfy.It was too cold to use the outdoor area, but that looked like it would be nice in warmer weather. The host was very helpful, and easy to reach. Highly recommend!

We have stayed in the area multiple times and loved this location. However for such a significant cost for a week, there should be ample supplies- the unit had exactly one roll of paper towels and two rolls of toilet paper. Bath towels but no washcloths or hand towels, no kitchen basics except a bottle of vegetable oil- not even salt & pepper. There were no books, brochures or personal touches at all. Other rentals for less in the area make an effort to make guests feel comfortable and at home. The check-in instructions did spell out the spartan nature of what was supplied, however we did not receive those until a couple of hours before our arrival. It was like camping, but inside. There were also cobwebs in the corners and the back breakfast area had no working lights or power. The sheets didn’t fit the bed and kept popping of the corners. One thing we appreciated was the pet friendly rental. Upon our arrival, however, our dog instantly became frantic. We finally figured out that the white units plugged in throughout were ultrasonic rodent repellers that were torturing his ears. Unplug them before taking your dog in! The location did a lot to make up for these deficiencies, but it would have been appreciated if we didn’t have to spend time on our vacation just trying to get the basics that should have been there already.
