The house is fabulous. Very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Each bedroom is well equipped with everything you could possibly need or want.
The kitchen is beyond any expectations. Well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, accessories, etc
We hosted a family gathering with 13 people for dinner with no trouble.
Herb is the ultimate host !! He makes sure that everything is perfect for our stay.
Highly recommend this rental for a wonderful vacation.

This was our second year here and we are in love with this cottage and Plum Island.
Herb is the most gracious host, providing any amenities you can imagine. The house is clean and comfortable with enough space for our group. The canopy on the deck was a great addition. The beach is perfect for children and only steps away from the house.

Herb’s home was our 6th summer rental on the upper east coast. Absolutely the BEST!!
Convenient location for family from Hudson, Melrose, Marshfield and Wilton, NH.
The house is absolutely beautiful!
Bright, airy, comfortable furniture , beautiful prints in every room , gigantic dining table that easily accommodated 13 of us for a lobster feast.
The kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed.
The 3 bedrooms are beautifully appointed and comfortable. A pull-out sofa in the living room also came in handy.
Short walk to a beautiful beach which was not crowded even over Labor Day weekend.
Herb is the perfect host !!
Any problems or concerns were addressed immediately. He maintains the property and foliage around it meticulously.
Looking forward to returning next year!!

Great location, plenty of space, walk to beach, restaurants and bars 😎

Let me start by saying that Plum Island is a wonderful location with great beaches and restaurants only minutes away. Our neighbors were friendly and very helpful with local recommendations.
Overall, we rate this house a 2 out of 5. The pictures on the website are not accurate. The furniture on the porch were vinyl chairs, not the advertised cushioned couch and chairs. And instead of clutter-free, minimal decor, all the walls are covered all over the house in random prints and there are breakable tchotchkes in the living room. While not major inconveniences, the pictures on the listing should absolutely be accurate.
Other inconveniences: ant infestation due to crumbs left under rug in dining room; musty odor throughout the house and no smell or evidence of any cleaning products upon arrival; overgrown plants and weeds vining over patio furniture; expired food left in fridge; mouse traps on shelving in kitchen pantry; audible mouse deterrent plug-ins in kitchen and laundry room; a/c unit in living room is so loud on high setting that it's hard to have a conversation; no hand soap at bathroom sinks; cable tv was basic package - what you'd get with an antennae.
And lastly, the communication with and professionalism of the landlord was sub-par: no check-in information provided (until I called and asked); no instructions on trash removal or check-out; and he came by mid-week to water the plants.
None of the above ruined our vacation, but not what we expect from a VRBO.

Great stay at this beach house. Very clean and comfortable, plenty of room for everyone. Beach chairs were a plus, and just a short walk to the beach access entrance. Kitchen well equipped, bright and sunny throughout.

We had an awesome week. The house has plenty of room for everyone to spread out, but also big enough spaces for everyone to gather for meals, games, or just hang out.
The nearness to the beach is so convenient for those looking to sunbathe, but we also surfed, fished, kayaked and ate without even getting in the car!

Great week at the beach
Online pics made property seem a little bit spiffier and more comfortable than reality. But everything functioned well and no major complaints. My husband was disappointed that ESPN and NESN weren't available - no Sox games! The walking distance to beach, breakfast spot, ice cream shop and the two bars and restaurant in town make the location ideal.

Very comfortable home
This Plum Island home is in a great location and very comfortable for several people. The kitchen is well-stocked and has extras such as condiments in the ‘fridge. If you prefer to have someone else clean the home before you leave, there is a fee that will be provided to the cleaner
and can be coordinated with the owner. Owner arrived as we were leaving and we would have preferred a 30 minute grace period. If it felt a bit like a bums rush. Otherwise we had an absolutely wonderful time in the home and on Plum Island!

Wonderful Getaway!
This was a great place for our family to stay. We all had plenty of space and it is exactly as described. It is just 536 steps to the beach! We loved the location and are already planning our return trip for next year!

great Plum Island home
My husband and I had a wonderful week on Pi in this spotlass, fully stocked, beautifully landscaped split level across the street from a path to the beach. The owner completely furnished the kitchen with staples and more. There were fresh flowers on the kitchen table to greet us and many flowers on the deck. The spacious living room and deck had seating for 8 , the dining room 10+. We had 90 degree weather so the AC was great and when it got into the 40's we had lovely heat. Definitely a repeat. Thanks again, Herb."

Wonderful vacation and house
We had a wonderful time during our week-long stay at Herb’s house in Plum Island. The location is perfect and so close to the beach. Super well stocked kitchen for all of our bbq and cooking needs, including a lobster boil pot! We also enjoyed the fact there were beach chairs available to use. All in all a wonderful week and we hope to be back next year!

Very nice house! Great Location!
House was great. Was as described. It had everything we could need and more! House was nicely furnished and surpassed the pictures. Kitchen was extremely well and nicely stocked with cookware and utensils. House had plenty of games for kids and beach chairs. Great location, just short walk to beach. A couple convenience stores and several restaurants about half a mile from the house. Herb was very responsive and friendly.

great location!
So many good things to say...the kitchen is SO well stocked. We didn't cook as much as we intended to, but the kitchen had everything we needed. There were tons of spices and miscellaneous basics...a HUGE benefit when you're staying for a short time.
beach chairs/towels were great. There were some basic kid beach toys available...if your kid is a connoisseur, stop at Target first. :-D
herb provides the GOOD toilet paper...sounds like a small thing, but dude...usually these places have the cheap single-ply stuff. My bum was grateful.
The beds and linens were comfortable.
We had an internet hiccup, but Herb rectified it for us. Thanks!
We rented this property for the 2 bathrooms and 3rd bedroom. We had a lot of guests come stay, and the layout of this place worked SO well for offering us/our kid privacy as well as our guests.
Two things that could be improved: the grill didn't heat up past 250 degrees F. We probably would have used it more otherwise.
There are no shades that block any light in any of the bedrooms...Amazon sells single-use blackout shades which we've used in previous vacay rentals and probably should have bought this time but didn't.
Overall, we REALLY enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider renting this property in future.

Amazing stay!
Great location, well stocked house and all of the comforts of home you could possibly want and more! Very relaxing week in Plum Island for 4 adults, a baby and a toddler. It never felt like we were crowed since the house is very well layed out and spacious. We had no issues to call Herb and we only met him when he came by to collect the garbage. The only concern for future renters with toddlers is to be careful of a glass coffee table in the living room. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Nice house and great location
The house is roomy , nicely decorated, and well appointed. Nice breezes so you rarely need AC. Loved the living room which has two sections. Beds are really comfortable. Just a short walk to beach, basin, and Mad Martha’s. Only negative is having to clean, particularly having to wash and fold all sheets and towels. We brought our own sheets. Highly recommend this house.

Wonderful Home!
I have been vacationing on Plum Island for more than 40 years and have rented homes for the last 10 years. This was one of the nicest well equipped houses we have rented. It was myself my 3 adult children and their families. The deck is beautiful to sit quietly and read but big enough to accommodate the entire family. The kitchen was perfect with everything we could possibly need. We cooked family dinners on the grill. The house was beautifully decorated it felt like home.
We had a wonderful week making memories!

Relaxing Stay on PI
We were happy to spend a beautiful week on PI this summer... this place is a quick walk to the beach which was just what we wanted. Location is great as you can walk to both restaurants on PI as well. The beds were really comfortable and the living area was large and well appointed. The deck was great! The kitchen could use a little work...
One thing to note, which we didn't know beforehand, is that renters have to leave the house as it was when they got there, meaning, all the sheets and towels have to be washed and folded. This made for a not so fun Saturday morning doing load after load of laundry all before the 10AM check out. Had we known prior, we probably would have brought our own sheets. Having rented vacation house many times, this was something we didn't expect, especially for the price.

Wonderful home on Plum Island
This house was perfect. Very spacious, beds are comfy, kitchen is fully stocked with any appliances or cookware needed. AC in every bedroom and the living room. Short walk across the street allowed for easy use of the house for the bathroom when needed, or to come up for lunch. Herb was easy to deal with and super nice, he stopped by Saturday to welcome us.

Nice house and great location for a quiet vacation
This house worked out really well for our family of four with one bedroom/bathroom downstairs and two bedrooms/one bath upstairs - all queen beds. A/C units in each bedroom and a large unit in the living room kept the house comfortable on hot days. The proximity to the beach is great - about a 3 minute walk. The neighborhood is very quiet and the beach was not busy at all.
