Further details for this vacation house rental in Plum Island, Massachusetts

The Yankee Belle was once a hot dog stand, later a gift shop, and was used by the current owner as a summer cottage from 1979 until it was completely rebuilt from the foundation up and winterized in 2000. We're on Northern Boulevard, two or three minutes walk from Mad Martha's, and five or six from Dick's Variety Store. The Parker River Nature Reserve is a fifteen minute bike ride. The surf is 150 yards from the house at high tide.

Other Activities: birding, surfcasting, beachcombing, ocean fishing and whale watching

Best beach week of our lives!

Meo the Leo Somerville, MA 02145
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
What can I say that the title does not. My husband rented this heavenly place to celebrate my 50th birthday. Every aspect of this house and location is the stuff of dreams. From the sunrise, gently waking us every morning, to the waves crashing both ways on the sandbar, the low-key old charm of Plum Island and the comfort of the home itself. We loved the spaciousness of the breezy, sunlit living room, where we would relax - listening to oldies on North Shore 104fm radio after a day on the beach or at Parker River refuge, looking at birds (or strolling to the southern most point of Plum Island). The deck was wonderful for morning tea and welcoming the day and greeting the morning tide (the lovely rose hips were in our near view). The house is equipped with all manner of supplies and necessities you would need to entertain - we had several cookouts on the deck and made good use of the kitchen and its supply of utensils and serving ware.

The kids loved the feature of the sandbar - where the confluence of two currents has the waves crashing together from two directions. It was really spectacular as well and provided hours of body surfing fun.

The house was clean, well-appointed and convenient to any of the local businesses - the convenience mart, the liquor store, mad Martha's Cafe and the Plum Island grille. We left the island twice - once for dinner in Newburyport (where there are many options in all dining categories) and the other to take the catamaran ride from the Newburyport waterfront. Otherwise, we were content to enjoy the wealth of natural beauty from the beach or on the deck of the Yankee Belle. Indelible in my mind is the imprint of pristine beauty and relaxation that Yankee Belle provided us on our well-needed vacation. We hope to return many times.

Great Experience

AmMaNa West Newbury, MA
Review Submitted: November 8, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This house worked out great for us. Great access to a beautiful wide beach that goes for miles. The upstairs (master bedroom, family room, kitchen/dining room) is in great shape. Great views of ocean (over sand dune) from family room and deck and great light throughout. Master is interior room with glass doors that look out through windows on the side of family room. Has blinds for privacy but best if you dont need them. Cable modem with wired internet access. Road is a bit noisy but only really an issue in kitchen/dining room and downstairs den. Downstairs (awkward den, nice second bedroom, and second bath) is dark and a bit worn. Overall it was very nice. The minor flaws were quickly forgotten as we were absorbed into the beautiful location. We definitely would go back.

Peace and quiet with outstanding beauty

Melts Albany, New York
Review Submitted: September 2, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
The place was excellent! Too a family of two teens around “14" and parents and grandma. The pictures and description is correct. We all were very happy with the living space and comfortable with the location of the house. I think it was the best location on the island! The only complaint I would have is the stove in the kitchen (very old). As we pulled away from the house the kids asked to return the following year. The Beach was clean and not over crowd. We will see you again next year. Thanks Kerry for the wonderful experience..
