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!

Nature's Serenity

It was a beautiful little spot, tucked away in the trees and nature, with a short walk to the beach. Relaxing, peaceful and quiet. My wife and I enjoyed it very much.

Peace and quiet amongst chaos.

Because of this private location when you look out your window all you see are trees and bushes. However it is only a 5 minute walk to the beach.

Convenient and quaint

Very nice to be so close to the beach and enjoy the national park. Might suggest a newer AC unit as it would likely save on electric and cool more efficiently. Host was very polite and quiet and a nice neighborhood.

Charming studio in a lovely spot on Plum Island

This is our third stay at Ed's studio on Plum Island. It is charming and very comfortable, shor walking distance to beach and restaurants, general store with ice cream "parlor". The bed is very comfortable, the garden is private, quite and visited daily be birds and neighborhood "wild" turkeys. Ed is a great host; easy to contact and responsive. We hope for another stay next year.

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!

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.

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!
