Oceansong was a great house with wonderful views, especially from the skyloft. The house suited our needs perfectly and was in a great location. We look forward to staying there again next year. Richard was in constant contact with us for anything we needed and accommodated us on our very late arrival.

We had a lovely stay in Ocean Song and the location could not have been better. The house itself is older and had many nooks and crannies. Richard , the lovely owner, greeted us on arrival and went through how the house runs. If you are looking for a basic beach house without a lot of frills look no further. It had everything we needed and the town was very walkable. We will be back.

This is a comfortable, no frills beach home with the best of two worlds, the unrivaled, natural Atlantic beach a few steps away & the historic towns of Newbury/Newburyport a short drive away, with plenty of shopping & restaurants. The kitchen is completely equipped for all cooking/baking projects, the living area well worn & comfortable, and the neighborhood lovely & quiet. The owner, Richard, is nearby & personally invested in this unique property, which should be treated as your own. Most enjoyable!

So much to do right from this inviting home; beach, biking, birding, walking. Plenty of nooks to relax while listening to the waves crashing on the beach. Ocean views from many rooms.

We enjoyed our stay. The home was just as described & was exactly what we were looking for. We greeted some weekend sunsets & sunrises overlooking the ocean......from the cool house lookout area. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house, Richard was a great host, and area is very fun! The house was clean and well kept. Just steps from the beach and the Refuge is just a short walk away. We even saw a piping plover in the refuge. Comfortable beds, nicely stocked kitchen, and a great living space. Very welcoming. Highly recommend this spot. Thanks!

The host Richard was very keen/eager to show me around when I arrived from Vermont. [We rented two houses on Plum Island for a family wedding.] He reminded us that there were only six people allowed to stay there and only three parking spaces--which, of course, was not an issue for us as we had arranged for two separate houses. The place is very clean, tidy and comfortable; however, we were responsible for making the beds ourselves. The location is ideal--just a short walk to the beautiful beach.

We visited Ocean Song a couple years ago from California and enjoyed it so much we wanted to do it again!! We loved his charming house and again had a wonderful time on winter on the beach. So peaceful. And you can’t ask for a better host. I highly recommend it!!!

We enjoy visiting plum island a couple times a year. Oceansong is close to the beach and walking to Mad Martha's for breakfast is fun. Richard greets you and let's you know everything about the house. This was our 2nd time there and we would stay here again.

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Oceansong. Richard made sure we were checked in thoroughly and didn't have any questions about the property. The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach and down the road from the wildlife preserve. Highly recommend!

We were three adult friends who wanted a break from daily city life. What could be more fun than a seaside town off-season. It was late October 2021. Our visit of 2 nights unintentionally coincided with a nor'easter, with rain and high winds. We had a great time! The host, Richard Gandt, was most kind and gracious and went out of his way to see that we were ok, given the unusual weather conditions. The house was spacious, very clean, very comfortable and well-equipped, with lots of windows (tho surrounded by other houses). I particularly liked that there were nooks of privacy, so people could be doing different things and not running into each other. We were 50 feet from the ocean. Fortunately, we had times of decent weather and were able to walk and drive some of the beach and the famous Parker Wildlife Refuge nearby. Market provisions and seaside dining places were very accessible, within 5 minute drive. We all left with a desire to return, and with no regrets about coming during a time when anyone - in their right mind - would have stayed home. But this is travel during a time of climate change.

Ocean Song was in just the right place and at the right time for our family of 4 (plus two of our children's friends) to enjoy time together and at the ocean. It's location on Plum Island is unbeatable. The sunsets were a highlight of each day. Richard was very available and responsive and knows a lot about the area. Hope we can come back.

If only we were lucky enough to own a beach house...
OceanSong was the most comfortable rental for our long weekend getaway
The home is so clean and well stocked with anything and everything you will possibly need. Richard was a lovely and informative host and explained nearby attractions.
And wait till you see the endless beach!
Worth the gravel road trip to the very end of the Nature Reserve where there is a beautiful peaceful beach.

Ocean Song
Ocean Song was pristine clean, beautifully equipped, and has an incredibly responsive kind owner, Richard. The house is walking distance to the beach as well as restaurants on the island. We were having a reunion there and it was off season. The wildness of the sea and the solitude were antidotes to the horrendous pandemic year. The house was spacious and comforting. You can climb up to a little room
overlooking the sea and pretend you are on a ship. The winds are amazingly strong and the birding is fabulous.
