As birders, we loved the proximity to Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. The cottage is also very close to the town center, so we could walk to restaurants. The town itself is relaxed and quirky. Sean was very communicative, but we had no issues and enjoyed our stay very much.

A beautiful refurbished beach home. Great places to eat within walking distance. We enjoyed our time there!

Robert Traugh

The Nest, September 2025

House was very clean, loved the shower, bedding was comfortable and clean, and the neighborhood was great. Three minute walk onto the sand and right around the corner to pizza, coffee, store, etc. I enjoyed the high end appliances as well!

Jaclyn King

The Nest, September 2025

It is right across the street from an entrance to the most beautiful and quiet (when I went) beach! The apartment is a bit sparsely decorated, could use a furniture update, and many windows don't have screens. The neighborhood is lovely, and the host was responsive, though asks to sign up through a portal, which I didn't like. The location makes up for anything else lacking here!

Francis Guerriero

The Nest, September 2025

Great experience overall! Such a beautiful place with a short walk to the beach and beach town restaurants.

Ashley Davis

The Nest, September 2025

Great location on Plum Island - fantastic bungalow across street from the beach. Cannot see the beach but it is so close! Very very clean - especially bath and kitchen which is important to us. Linens and towels felt clean and fresh. Very nicely appointed w/ great kitchen space w/ nice appliances. My husband and I enjoyed 3 days post labor day on Plum Island enjoying the beach, great biking, and wonderful shopping and restaurants in Newburyport. Have to pay extra for early/late check-in/out but we were able to find things to do. Great for 2-3 people - might be a bit tight for 4 but you could make it work. Would definitely stay again. One of my favorite AirBNB's to date.

Elizabeth Bengtson

The Nest, September 2025

Had the most wonderful stay at the nest with my husband & our 3 girls. Absolutely perfect location. Right across from the beach — 1 minute walk! Walkable to all Plum Island restaurants (our fav being the sunset club) and a 5 min drive to Newbury downtown. Cutest little house - super high end appliances and fixtures. Clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Sean was an absolutely wonderful host - proactive and wanted to make sure our vacation was the absolute best.

Megan Paglialunga

The Nest, September 2025

Plum Island is a great time and this location is right where you want to be. It’s an easy walk to the beach and all restaurants & stores on the island, plus a very short drive to downtown Newburyport. The house itself is up to date with a great kitchen for cooking and a nice deck for hanging out at night. The host was very responsive anytime we had a question.

Dylan Tancill

The Nest, August 2025

Very nice place on plum island. Brought along entire family and was welcomed warmly to this very comfortable home. Highly recommended

Joe Panarese

The Nest, August 2025

The Nest was a fantastic stay! Beach access was just across the street, the location was close enough to the center of plum island for necessities but far enough to be a peaceful, quiet area. The amenities need some google searching and figuring out. I recommend bringing a microwave if you do not know how to use a convection oven. Wife also mentioned that there should be a full body mirror for those late night dinner dates. The Nest was clean, neat, and organized. The deck was our favorite spot, the neighbors were quiet. Privacy was limited if the window shades were open, but during the day the windows were shaded enough to not be seen. We will definitely rent from this manager and The Nest again (and we will be back).

Alexander Moir

The Nest, July 2025

Had a great time, sean was very responsive and would love to stay again.

Tessa Larose

The Nest, July 2025

Sean’s place on plum island was great! Perfect location and the host was extremely responsive.

Jake Marion

The Nest, July 2025

This place was amazing to relax and unwind at after a weekend of festivities! Sean really did an amazing job with how clean the place is. Would definitely go back here in the future!

Brett Sooy

The Nest, June 2025

This airbnb looked exactly like the pictures. Everything was clean, upgraded and spot on. We loved the spacious walk in shower - came in handy having a toddler. Location wise, it's literally a 2 min walk to the beach - a very clean private sandy beach! Sean had clear instructions and was on top of everything! We would definitely stay here again.

Houda Colic

The Nest, June 2025

Great location and perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway! Walkable and close to downtown by uber.

Molly McLaughlin

The Nest, June 2025

Our stay at the beach house was phenomenal! The location was perfect and the house was spotless, modern, and equipped with everything

Dale Marie Breault

The Nest, June 2025

This is a beautiful place to stay. Beach is right there. Sean is very responsive and helpful.

Yvonne Lamberton

The Nest, May 2025

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this house. The house was beautiful inside and very clean. It was right across the street from the beach and a great location. We love Plum Island and this was our second time in this area. Sean was an awesome host and incredibly responsive. We would definitely recommend this house and host!

Adam Doling

The Nest, April 2025

This place had modern upgrades, but lacks some basic comforts that would have infinitely improved our stay. Pros: Place was clean and convenient and comfortable. The beds stood out as being quite comfortable. The coffee maker was also very nice. Our host was quick to respond and provided us with missing pot holders, although other issues we had were not addressed. Cons: No hot water (unaddressed), no microwave (steam oven not the same, hard to reheat coffee in a steam oven, and no instructions for use, unaddressed), grill broken (a literal hole in the bottom of it), outside fireplace broken

Moriah Turcotte

The Nest, April 2025

Great stay beautiful cozy home right next to the water

Ryan Whitley

The Nest, February 2025

My husband and I stayed for two nights in the dead of winter. We loved it. Great place. Had everything you might need and more. Was warm and cozy. Easy beach access. Beautiful beach - get down there for sunrise! Quick drive to Newburyport (try Loretta, a great restaurant).

Kathy Tyson

The Nest, January 2025

Had a lovely, quiet little New Years at this spot. So close to the beach for —albeit blustery given the season!—nice walks. Well stocked, reliable appliances (ok now I want a steam convection combo oven), feels spacious despite being a small unit, and all one floor was perfect given that I am quite pregnant. (There are just a couple steps in the front and a few more than that from the parking spot to the back door, if you’re concerned about stairs.) definitely keeping it on my list of spots when I return to PI!

Mary E Everett

The Nest, January 2025

5 star experience all around!

Edward Rich

The Nest, January 2025

House was easy to find and clean. Asked for early check in since the property was not booked the day before but was not allowed to check in until 4:00 PM😩

Kathy Welch

The Nest, December 2024

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic house on Plum Island, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the charming beachy decor and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The house is ideally located just a short walk from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for daily trips to soak up the sun and enjoy the stunning ocean views. It's also close to local shops and restaurants, so exploring the island is a breeze. Inside, the space is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living area offers the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. I especially loved the large deck where I could lounge with a good book and breathe in the fresh sea air. The owners were incredibly responsive and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Their attentiveness truly made a difference.

Alistair Boudreaux

The Nest, December 2024

Erin Haggerty

The Nest, November 2024

Belle découverte! Plum Island est un endroit charmant et tranquille en bord de mer… parfait pour le repos, les longues marches sur la plage et la nature. Je recommande!

Caroline Laliberte

The Nest, November 2024

Beautiful clean cottage. Everything was in pristine shape. Communication was great and very responsive. Beach across the street was beautiful. Sunrises were awesome. Easy drive in to Boston each day. Local stores and restaurants were great. Quiet neighborhood. Very restful for the person coming to relax. Shower was amazing. Only one bathroom but ok for 4 people. Back deck has grill and fire pit. Would visit again and stay here.

Heather Meares

The Nest, October 2024

Perfect spot. Very well appointed. Sean was proactive in communication and made check-in and check-out effortless! This is the perfect place on PI. Highly Recommend!!!

David Mullen

The Nest, October 2024

Sean was a great host, very attentive and I will 100% be booking at this property again.

Brandy Hauser

The Nest, October 2024

This rental is great! Location is right across from beach access and you can walk to dinner and ice cream which was a huge plus! Plenty of room for my husband, baby, and I. We will definitely be back to Plum Island.

Hayley Troknya

The Nest, September 2024

Great location, comfortable home

Madeline Richard

The Nest, September 2024

We really enjoyed our stay! Can’t wait to return!

Stephanie Dion

The Nest, September 2024

Literally a 2 minute walk to the beach. Beautifully renovated space with impressive high-end appliances and details. My family of 6 (4 kids) was happy and comfortable at The Nest!

Ignatius Calabria

The Nest, August 2024

Great place in a great location. Highly recommend staying here.

Elie Maalouf

The Nest, August 2024

Andrew Brannan

The Nest, August 2024

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Nest on Plum Island. The beach right across the street was beautiful and the home was beautifully decorated. I recommend renting this location.

Laura Mellick

The Nest, August 2024

Sean’s place was wonderful! Thank you!!

Brooke Welch

The Nest, August 2024

Beautiful place to stay and great location! House was very clean and well appointed! Easy access to beach right across the street made it perfect.

Matthew Vieira

The Nest, August 2024

Easy and comfortable stay. Location was great and Sean was very responsive. Very much enjoyed the stay.

Matt Araujo

The Nest, August 2024

Great place and location. Four adults and 2 small children. (Bring what you need for small children - we rented Pack and play and high chair). A few maintenance items and things to take care of that we communicated to Sean but nothing too far out of the ordinary for a beach rental. Host was very receptive to our suggestions. Could use another comfy seat or two in the living area but otherwise furnishing was good. Would definitely stay again. Nicely remodeled. Great appliances and shower was really nice.

Paul Smith

The Nest, August 2024

Great place close to the beach.

Tim Nourse

The Nest, July 2024

So much attention to detail in the space. The host clearly wanted us to have everything we needed.

Josh Rilla

The Nest, July 2024

We had a nice relaxing stay at The Nest on Plum Island. The location directly across the street from the beach was terrific. The cottage was super clean. We all loved the shower and the beds were very comfortable. The appliances, kitchen sink, and lighting was very nice. The check-out is pretty simple, which is great for a 10am checkout time. We would definitely return and recommend The Nest when visiting Plum Island and Newburyport area!

Charlene Galt

The Nest, July 2024

Nice place and looked as described. Close to amenities and beach. Had all utensils as detailed. I was a little worried about the noise monitoring system but had no issues. Beach chairs were available but older, 1 was broken and as I was sitting in another on the beach it ripped and I was sitting in the sand. I’m going to assume that it’s early in the summer season so they were probably going to get replacements anyway. Would definitely go back

Gabriel Santana

The Nest, July 2024

Sean's Place was conveniently located for trips to Byfield and downtown Newburyport. The house was clean and had great appliances. The setup was great for hanging out too. Easy walk to breakfast, convenient stores and the beach. Great parking and easy instructions for getting the place dialed in. Sean is super friendly and very responsive. A great stay!

Mara Psaradelis

The Nest, May 2024

Great experience!!! It was a great weekend get away spot!! It was an amazing house with really close beach access and an extremely nice surrounding area. Check-in and check- out was made super easy! Sean was a huge help through our entire stay! The house was very clean and felt like home! I cannot wait to go back

Jakob Margetta

The Nest, April 2024

It has been a wonderful experience and Sean has been helpful and proactive. I recommend without resevations.

Chiara Bassetti

The Nest, April 2024

Wonderful experience!

Michael Dudzinski

The Nest, April 2024

Lovely place right at the best of Plum. Walk to everything, cozy place to hang. We were there in the cold but the back deck is amazing. Great space perfect for 4 people!

Allison OBrien

The Nest, February 2024

We are a family of 5 and we loved The Nest! We give it 5+ stars. Beautiful, clean, high-end place right across from the beach. Responsive and friendly host. We look forward to returning for a future visit!

Joyia Moeller

The Nest, January 2024

I was there to spend Christmas with family, so didn’t do the usual vacation things, but it was a nice place to host them for a meal. The bed was great 👍 as was the shower! The 3 heating units made it very comfortable. Thanks.

Mary Whitcomb

The Nest, January 2024

My family of 4 and I spent a wonderful 4 days in this clean, comfortable and tastefully renovated house. It is situated right across the street from a magnificent beach on Plum Island that even in November was a pleasure. After crossing the beach and going over the dune we could see the sunrising over the ocean! The kitchen is well equipped and we really appreciated the gorgeous WOLF range. Communication with Sean was easy and he was quick to respond to all questions. We hope to return someday!

Heather Lyon

The Nest, December 2023

Great kitchen

April Boucher Allen

The Nest, November 2023

Great stay . Literally steps from the beach and was close to Salem which we spent a day there . Beautiful area would stay again for sure

Colin Tullgren

The Nest, November 2023

The nest was sparkling clean and the location is AWESOME. Would definitely love to go back.

Katie Shaw

The Nest, October 2023

The one-level house was perfect for a couple and had ample space to enjoy delicious outdoor cooking at the available grill. The kitchen was well-equipped and ready to use. It would have been great to see a fire pit at the back as it has a favorable space for another amenity to enjoy the ocean wave sound from afar. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the stay and would recommend it to anyone that wants to escape from the city. The hosts are always available for any questions.

Katherine Vazquez Sanchez

The Nest, October 2023

Very functional cottage.

Joseph Maggio

The Nest, October 2023

On a adoré notre séjour. On dort bien, c’est propre, tranquille et l’emplacement est parfait, à proximité d’un accès à la plage! on recommande !

Nicolas Prud'Homme

Great location

Jamie Simpson

The Nest, September 2023

Perfect spot with a terrific layout and well stocked kitchen that’s across the street from the beach.

Sonja Nesbit

The Nest, September 2023

Great beach house just steps across the road from very nice quiet beach - was a perfect spot for our family of four to relax for a few days. Walkable to everything, including delicious dinners and ice cream. Well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, and solid beach equipment were very much appreciated! Sean a very responsive host and got right back to us after we extended our rental and had a small snafu with the door code - we really were grateful for his response time.

Lindsay Pitzer

The Nest, September 2023

This is a centrally located house with east beach access and high-end appliances. It was easy to find and easy to enjoy - highly recommended!

Adam Wright

The Nest, August 2023

Wonderful stay at The Nest. Great location across the street from the beach, immaculate, comfortable house with high end amenities. Very professional host.

Michael Doherty

The Nest, August 2023

We loved the neighborhood and the beautiful beach. It’s got that small town feel. The locals were very friendly and gave us good recommendations on places to eat and things to do. We had a great time.

Paula Wood

The Nest, August 2023

great little place across the street from the beach. very modern touch and extremely clean. only issue we had was trying to figure out how to turn on the sink (motion censored) but didn't seem to want to work for us. the house is within walkable distance to several restaurants and stores. reall enjoyed our time

William Newhouse

The Nest, August 2023

Great spot! Highly recommend. Wonderful accommodations and host ♥️

Aline McKenna

The Nest, August 2023

The Nest was absolutely perfect for a family getaway. If you don’t want to deal with the crowds of Hampton I couldn’t recommend this place more. It is located across the street from the beach, and very close to the shops and restaurants. I have two small children and bringing to and from the beach can be a hassle but at The Nest it was as easy as crossing the street. The home was very modern and well kept full of anything we needed and Sean was extremely helpful, respectful and quick to respond.

Eric Buttner

The Nest, July 2023

Excellent stay!

Sarah Spillane

The Nest, July 2023

This is the second time we've stayed at "The Nest". It's not large, which is perfect for a few people wanting to spend time together. The kitchen is modern with new, high-end appliances and plenty of counter-space. The mattresses are very comfortable. The deck is a great hang-out space. The beach is literally across the street and not crowded by any measure.

Victoria G Davis

The Nest, July 2023

We had a wonderful time on Plumb Island. The large deck, modern kitchen, and proximity to the beach, really made Sean’s place an excellent pick. Can’t wait to go back!

Alexander Morrow

The Nest, September 2022

The most professional AirBnb I’ve experienced. Wonderful spot and the house is outfitted supremely well. Highly recommended.

Michael Digris

The Nest, September 2022

Beautifully appointed cottage. Marvelous kitchen and spacious deck with very comfortable furniture.

Mary-Alice Tully

The Nest, September 2022

Super Cute beach house! High end finishes. Excellent location.

Kristy Fuller

The Nest, August 2022

Compact modern cottage in excellent location for walking to beach, bars and restaurants. High quality fixtures and appliances, equipped with everything you need.

Jamie Simpson

The Nest, August 2022

Perfect House for 3-4 People! Great location, beach access right across the street.

Alex Pratt

The Nest, August 2022

We had a fantastic time at Sean's property. The house was fresh, clean and modern and had everything needed for a great beach vacation. The back deck was ideal for grilling and relaxing in the evening, with spacious comfortable seating. The property is RIGHT across from beach access, and the beach wasn't crowded at all. There's AC and a HUGE TV, for when you're not on the beautiful beach. I highly recommend this place!

Victoria G Davis

The Nest, August 2022

Everything was perfect :) I strongly recommended. Two step from the beach. Everything is there to make your stay perfect !

Sarah-Ann Nantel

The Nest, August 2022

The house didn’t feel especially high end — the appliances were nice but the bedrooms were very basic and cramped. Despite the very high cleaning fee, the space wasn’t very clean — trash/recycling bins were overflowing (even the containers outside), beach towels were in the laundry, and the body wash bottle in the shower was empty (nice Kiel’s face wash, though). On the plus side, check in/out was easy and the location right across the street from the beach was really great. Overall it was an okay stay, just didn’t feel worth it for $800 for one night.

Catherine Arizan

The Nest, July 2022

The cottage is extremely well designed with high end appointments, appliances, and furniture. It is brand new and everything is bright, shiny, sparkly, and clean. We arrived in the summer and found the cottage cool which was a relief since it was quite warm. The cottage is easily located within walking distance to bars and restaurants. It was nice to not have to drive if you choose not to. The neighbors are close but everyone is very friendly. The beach is very close making it super convenient to walk to the beach and come back to cottage for drinks for bathroom for a break from the sun. Everything about the cottage as pictured and described was accurate and delightful. I highly recommend and would be delighted to stay again. The cottage and location made it a perfect stay. We had a few questions about the sound system upon arrival and got immediate responses from our hosts.

Julie Reardon

The Nest, July 2022

Beautiful house VERY close to the beach and the island center with restaurants and shops. Easy walk anywhere and if you want to head into Newburyport for a bit super short drive.

Nicholas Lloyd

The Nest, July 2022

Sean's place is at a perfect location, very easy to get around with bikes and walking distance to the amazing beach and restaurants. His place is great, very clean and has everything you need. We stayed for a long weekend with our two younger children and they loved having their own bedroom, space on the back deck and waking across the street to the beach.

Carly Howie

The Nest, July 2022

Wonderful stay! Very clean, beach accessible, and every provided we could possibly need. We hope to return again!!!

Sarah Gaskill

The Nest, July 2022

Superb location, place was clean, modern and well equipped. Communication was very prompt. Would recommend.

Jamie Simpson

The Nest, July 2022

The perfect location - across from the beach! It's like a modern beach cottage, everything is very thoughtful, shiny, new, and spotlessly clean. The beach chairs are a huge plus - all you need to bring is a beach umbrella, cooler, and some beach toys if you have kids! (Maybe a beach wagon to tote everything.) We went with our toddler and it was great to be able to go quickly back at the house when she needed a break from playing in the sand, and loved being able go to Newburyport for adventures and lunch/dinner, if we didn't picnic on plum island. Kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals, which was very convenient, and DoorDash is also available. We hope to come back soon!

Limor Hochberg

The Nest, July 2022

Great place.

Roland Eavey

The Nest, July 2022

The Nest was the perfect beach getaway! Brand new luxury renovation, the hosts thought of everything from tech in the house, chef's kitchen, spa quality shower, to grill on the deck & chairs for the beach. Location is also unbeatable, right across from the beach and 5 minute walk from bars & restaurants. My wife and I can't wait to go back!
