Travel & Leisure Magazine praises Newburyport as “one of the best laid-back beach towns in the Northeast”. First settled in 1635, Newburyport has a long and rich history. Located on the southern bank of the Merrimack River where it empties into the Atlantic Ocean, downtown Newburyport is quaint, picturesque, walkable and has many top-rated restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. We recommend The Grog for pub food, Michael's Harborside for seafood on their open-air deck, The Poynt for small plates and cocktails and The DECK for casual waterfront dining and drinks. Be sure to visit Bob’s Lobster for award-winning lobster rolls and golden-fried seafood and chowder

Great place- beach and lighthouse are right across the st! Loved the location and layout of this air bnb. My mom & aunt loved this spot and are already talking about when they can come back! One day we had bad weather & spent a majority of the day inside, we all felt very comfortable and right at home. Great communication & answered any questions right away!

Christopher Hebert

Sean's place is absolutely adorable! Very clean, very private and just lovely. Plum Island is a great place to stay and I highly recommend Sean's house!

Jill Diaz

The Lighthouse, December 2024

Such a lovely place. Beautifully kitted out, comfortable beds, very clean. I love Plum Island and this was a great location. So close to the sea - a minute's walk - with the added bonus of a basketball hoop and kid's playground less than a minute from the back door. It felt very private - a real haven. Sean was a fantastic host - he responded immediately to any queries and was super helpful. Thanks for having us!

Third time we stayed here. Perfect for our needs. Shower could use a safety bar for getting in and out , it’s a big step down.

Tracy Toth

The Lighthouse, November 2024

Excellent service! Clean, very accurate description of amenities and the overall house.

great location and house. Will return

Thomas Weir

The Lighthouse, October 2024

Amazing location - wish we'd had more time here! The apartment was spotlessly cleaned and truly is steps away from the beach, lighthouse, etc.!

Erin Gasperson

The Lighthouse, September 2024

Great location! Bathroom and a half is great for families. Full bath shower is a little high and might be tricky for very small children or folks with limited movement. Close to beaches. 10 to 15 minute drive to downtown which offers many restaurants and ice cream.

Ruth Febo

The Lighthouse, September 2024

My friends and I loved our quick stay at Sean’s place! An amazing location with incredibly easy beach access, and the space was clean and comfortable. Would love to come back for a longer stay one day!

Danielle Chaney

The Lighthouse, September 2024

Overall my friends and I had a great beach weekend getaway. Whenever I had questions Sean the host was quick to respond and friendly. The location is pretty much perfect! You are truly steps away from the beach and a short drive to the restaurants.

Araceli Rebmann

The Lighthouse, September 2024

The home was perfect! Great location especially with kids!

Natalie Francis

The Lighthouse, September 2024

The house was clean, all supplies were provided and stocked. The house was private and in a great location. We felt right at home. The location was as described and beautiful. We would love to stay again!

Kimberly Leute

The Lighthouse, September 2024

Sean was incredibly nice and very easy to communicate with! The place was somewhat small but very cute and right on the beach at the far end of Northern Blvd. About 3 min drive down to the restaurants, public beach, ice cream stand, surf shop. A/C units in 2 of the 3 bedrooms were much appreciated!

Jen Stornelli

The Lighthouse, August 2024

the space was exactly as stated

Pam Dzierzanowski

The Lighthouse, August 2024

This place was comfortable for the 4 of us- very clean and had everything we needed and it was nice to have air conditioning in 2 of the bedrooms- Sean, the host, was very responsive- the place was quiet and in a great location- it was nice to find a place that was willing to allow us to rent for 4 days and not the requirement of a full week- would definitely go back.

Sharon Zavorotny

The Lighthouse, August 2024

Perfect! The house is super-clean and has everything you need. The owners live above but it still felt very private. I had a great stay and am already planning on coming back next summer. The beach is basically your backyard!

Josh Maiocco

The Lighthouse, August 2024

Sean was very communicative and the space is exactly as described. We loved the easy access to the beach. The owners of the home, who live upstairs and are related to Sean, were also incredibly helpful and accommodating! The Airbnb at the time we were there was stocked with everything we could need - coffee filters, sugar, bowls with lids, pots, pans, the kitchen essentials and more! It was great!

Hanna Henshaw

Great location!

Helena Widtfeldt

The Lighthouse, July 2024

Incredible one of a kind location. Lighthouse on one side, beach on the other. With a 5 year old, added bonus was the playground. We are very familiar with Newburyport and Plum Island and I'd stay here every time if it was available

Shergul Arshad

The Lighthouse, July 2024

Thank you for a wonderful few days at your Plum Island cottage! Great decor, plenty of beds, nice kitchen area, and walkable to the lighthouse and beach. Sean was always immediately responsive to any questions or comments.

Virginia Black

We had a lovely two day stay at this charming cottage on Plum Island. The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for making meals. Plus the host was friendly and easy to communicate with and super responsive before, during and after our stay. Thanks, Sean!

Mary Beth Forton

Wonderful little place to enjoy a few days away. We had some problems with the digital lock starting on day 2 but the team responded VERY QUICKLY with alternative instructions. Great, great place to stay!

Tracy Toth

The Lighthouse, November 2023

Location easy to find. Extremely comfortable mattress and bedding. Quiet, enjoyable location. The cottage has quite the charm.

Sherry Franks

The Lighthouse, November 2023

this was a darling cottage in the perfect location on Plum Island. We went back and fourth to Beverly and Gloucester and Plum Island for all the wedding events, this location seemed perfect. I loved walking to the water and sitting on the porch. I loved that we had 3 bedrooms and the one bedroom had a separate half bath and then the full bath we shared. it was just the right size and felt very homey. We enjoyed our time together as a family and we enjoyed spending time with old friends making new memories.

Virginia Lindsay

The Lighthouse, October 2023

Very responsive and great communication, comfortable home, clean and well stocked.

Sharon Belisle

The Lighthouse, October 2023

This apartment was convenient to the beach and playground. It was clean and contained all we needed for our stay

Nicholas Keil

The Lighthouse, October 2023

Great location. Most well- provisioned apartment, we have ever rented. All cooking and cleaning supplies available and easily accessed. Nice parking spaces. We were very pleased with this apartment.

Anne Marie Coggins

The Lighthouse, October 2023

Great spot . Met all our expectations!

Holly Dufresne

The Lighthouse, September 2023

Would definitely recommend! Great spot at the beach with awesome amenities. Loved the grill outside and extra touches in the kitchen. Would gladly stay again. Thanks!

Rachel Reed

The Lighthouse, September 2023

We enjoyed Sean's beach house. It was nicely appointed with beachy atmosphere, usable kitchen amenities, comfy beds and comfortable space. People in the area were friendly at beaches and on the street. They may have been tourists or locals. We had a nice visit. The ceiling above the bunk bed was rather low and smaller children needed to be extra careful. We enjoyed walking to the beach but we would have liked to have been a bit closer to the nicer beaches. We were unfamiliar with the area and did not realize that we needed to find some place closer to the beach accesses .The lack of public parking near many beach accesses makes it difficult with smaller children. We have been in many larger places with better access to beaches and amenities in other areas of the country and world for this nightly rate.

Laurie Harrison

The Lighthouse, September 2023

A cozy place with all the comforts needed for our family and a short walk to the waterfront.
