Great location

We enjoyed a long weekend at the end of September. There were 3 of us having a girls weekend. There was plenty of space, very clean, comfortable mattresses, everything you need in the kitchen. The unit has been fully updated. The area is quiet and we rode bikes all over. We’d get an Uber to town to go out for dinner and shop. We had a chilly weekend, but we still walked over to the beach anyway. We had a really nice time.

The house at plum island is very clean and so cute. Very well maintained. We had some issues with the door code not working and right after I sent an email my phone rang and management was calling to help us with our issue. Very responsive and easy to get a hold of if an issue which really impressed me. We are already planning on booking for next year :)

Lovely Beach Stay!

The property was nice and very comfortable, the location was fantastic and the hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. The owners who live upstairs were very nice - waving down from their balcony to let us know to tell them if we need anything. We had a great stay and wanted for nothing. Would stay again! The proximity to the beach and nature preserve is perfect.

Really nice vacation

This was a great place for my family of 4 (kids are elementary school aged). Playground right out the back door! Easy walk to nice sandy beaches on the Merrimack River. At low tide the beach has many little tide pools that are shallow and fun for kids. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for the week to have our meals there. Beds were comfortable and household linens provided. We loved having the grill and picnic table outside. Building owners were very nice to chat with when we saw them (but did not intrude). Opening the front window and back door got a nice breeze from land or sea to keep the living area cool. The one drawback we had was on two very hot days. (with no breeze/land breeze). My kids adored the small bunk bed room. But between no AC in that bedroom and the water heater or furnace also being in the closet, the room got very warm. There is a really great fan in the room to circulate air which helped a lot. By the second day, we figured out we needed to start the fan way before bedtime to make it more comfortable. Overall it was exactly what we were looking for; a quiet family-oriented spot to get away and spend our days at the beach. My kids are already asking when we can go back again! Kudos to Sean and Mike for creating a really nice little place to stay on Plum Island.

We liked the configuration of 3 bedrooms and having 1.5 bathrooms, perfect for us as grandparents with two grandchildren. We loved being able to walk right down to the beach at any time. Low tide was especially interesting. Short drive to other beach and Parker Reserve was wonderful.

The Perfect Escape

Ship’s Anchor was the perfect escape to celebrate my 61st birthday with my husband. We have rented many VRBO/Home-Away condos, apartments, and houses in Massachusetts, across the country, and throughout Europe, and Ship’s Anchor was definitely one of my favorites. The apartment had everything that I look for, and nothing that I dread. The apartment was bright, cheerful, well-decorated, and immaculate. There was the perfect amount of beachy touches…and no clutter. The owners were friendly and helpful. My husband and I both felt at home. The location is ideal. We are big fans of Plum Island and enjoyed two great days of hiking. It was also great having the beach so close by. With family in the area, we will definitely be back!

40th Anniversary Trip

We had a great time exploring Plum Island and the surrounding area. It was wonderful to return to our cute, cozy, clean, and classy VRBO rental. Loved the beach vibe decorations. I can see how the nearby playground would be a GREAT perk for families. We missed having an outside space with a view but were able to accomplish that with a quick walk and carrying the chairs we brought. So impressed with the Parker River Wildlife Refuge...what a gift to the Earth. We hope to return to Plum Island.

We enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It was clean and well-maintained…and very cute! The beds were very comfortable and they had everything we needed for our short stay. Sean was excellent at communication-even letting us know we could check in a little early! The only thing we didn’t like about this rental was having to pay such a huge security deposit when we booked the house several months in advance of staying.
