Tailwinds Cottage overlooks the calm bay and basin waters of Plum Island’s northeast water’s edge, just a short 5-minute walk to the sand dunes and waves of the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated in a quiet residential area near the historic Plum Island Lighthouse (visible from the cottage). Plum Island is a delightful, breeze-swept barrier island located just off of Newburyport, MA, a town that delights visitors from around the world. A short bridge connects the island to Newburyport. The beaches of Plum Island were for many years a local, well-guarded secret, despite the fact that in 1942 the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect and preserve the pristine environment and abundant flora and fauna of the southern 3/4 of the island. Visitors have over 8 miles of soft sandy coastline to explore and enjoy, not to mention the numerous hiking opportunities and spectacular vistas offered by pathways and boardwalks within the refuge.

Notes: This lovely accommodation will appeal to anyone with upscale sensibilities and who appreciate a cozy New England beach chic environment. The décor and calming color palette are drawn lovingly from Plum Island’s natural beauty, so that the view inside complements that of the outside. The kitchen’s maple cabinetry, spacious black granite countertops, stainless appliances, and cookbook library will delight guests who wish to whip up a gourmet meal served up on the bistro-style dishware provided. 3 counter stools provide a place for the chef’s audience or for a quick bite. The west-facing deck is the perfect place to have morning coffee, a lazy afternoon lounge with a book, lift a toast to the sunset, or to enjoy the cool New England evening breeze and watch the lights of Newburyport twinkle across the Merrimac estuary. Color-coordinated beach chairs, mats, and beach towels await our guests for use on the spectacular sandy beaches or calm basin shore. All this and much more.

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

Local Attractions And Activities: Plum Island has always attracted people who love the outdoors; that becomes immediately noticeable when one investigates local activities. Almost everything one might expect in terms of New England beach activities (like picnicking, beach combing, surfing, windsurfing, fishing, biking, boating, kayaking, whale watching, and hiking) is found nearby, as well as some decidedly unexpected things like airplane rides and lessons, glider instruction, Eco-tourism, archery, birding, antiquing, outlet shopping, fine dining, golfing, and live theatre. What sets the area apart from certain more famous Northeast US coastal communities is that the area has a far more laid-back feel and does not resemble a tourist trap. Nor does it strive to, as the local residents proudly and fiercely work to keep development appropriate and attractive while at the same time graciously welcoming. To our view, the best attraction is the area’s beauty and peacefulness.

Elegant Retreat

BJA Austin TX
Review Submitted: June 13, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
I am pretty sure I was the first guest at the Tailwinds Cottage, and I can say it was a lovely experience. The place is so cheerful and comfortable, and I absolutely loved the decorating scheme. It is beach-ey without being too over the top. Very classy. It was nicer than the pictures; it was all new and squeaky clean. The central air conditioning was superb and unexpected for a beach rental! Loved the views!! I came to relax and unwind, and that is exactlywhat I did; watched some movies, hung out on the deck, read a little in blissful peace. The down side is it is smallish - not a place for a lage group. I wouldn't think it's very appropriate for little kids, either (too many temptaions) and I felt very slightly self-conscious about being close to other residents nex door and down stairs. But, I tried to be a good neighbor and I think my concerns were unjustified.There are lots of "upsides", though, and to me the best part was the airiness of it and how well equiped it is. The listing says it is romantic and I wholeheartedly agree. Nice amenities (including Starbucks and XM)! In the end it was a terrific stay and I will definitely do it again!
