Plovers Nest: Perfect Couple Retreat: Gas Fireplace, Sunset water views! Smart TVs, Fast WiFi

Looking for that perfect couple’s get-away? Then, Plover’s Nest is the ideal venue for you! Take a short walk to a small local beach, or a longer stroll to miles of beach. Located on a cul de sac on Plum Island – Plover’s Nest is that perfect balance of a quiet location that’s just minutes to all the action!

Newburyport is a 5-minute drive and has so many accolades: best place to live in Boston’s North Shore, Most Charming Downtown, and host of Hallmark Holiday movies. Why? Newburyport’s quaint historic downtown boasts excellent restaurants, unique boutiques, cultural venues (theatre, concerts, museums), and waterfront fun (whale watches, deep sea fishing, sunset cruises, & more)!

Plover’s Nest first welcomes you with outdoor gathering spaces – Adirondack chairs and bistro dining on the covered deck … and you haven’t even opened the door yet! As you enter Plover’s Nest, the home opens to a beautiful kitchen, comfy breakfast bar, and cozy living room.

The kitchen is nicely appointed with high-end appliances: fridge, a 3-burner induction cooktop, a combination microwave & convection oven, and dishwasher. The breakfast bar makes that morning coffee oh so convenient – everything’s right at your fingertips: Keurig coffee maker, coffee, and cups!

The living room with cozy couch & chair, big screen smart TV and a fireplace. The perfect place to snuggle.

Just off the kitchen is the full bathroom with large walk-in shower.

Step out the back door to find the outdoor shower and gas grill.

Ascend the stairs, to arrive at the romantic sleeping loft with en-suite bath. The queen bed is embraced by 90-degrees of water views. Guests can enjoy stunning sunsets! The ideal place for that quiet drink is the upper deck: take a seat at the table; relax, soak in the water views, and watch the stunning sunsets! Hidden behind the doors, guests will find the ½ bath and laundry closet.

**** Explore Plum Island - by foot, paddle or pedal.

Plum Island is a 6-mile long barrier beach that extends south of Newburyport. Most of it makes up the Parker River Wildlife Refuge, which is visited seasonally by nearly 300 bird species.
Walking on a beach across a National Wildlife Refuge, hearing the waves crashing on long, sandy beaches, watching birds and deer nearby…
A walk is a nice introduction to the extraordinary diversity of the Plum Island scenery. Take a walk both on the beach and on the main Refuge road, which offers wonderful views on the Plum Island River marshes and the Broad Sound.

Plum Island creates a nice protected bay which leads to marshes along the Parker River - take a kayak or paddleboard tour through the marshes.

Sweet retreat
Plovers Nest was a great place to stay. The space is very small, but stocked with the essentials. Comfortable bed- stayed during winter but could imagine that the decks and access to the water in the summer would be idyllic.

Perfect little New England cottage
Plovers nest is a great little getaway cottage for a couple. The property was very well designed, and makes great use of all the space available. The location is great for anyone interested in exploring the coast, Newburyport, Boston, or any of the numerous surrounding small towns. The hosts are very organized, and provided an extensive welcome message, with tons if info about the property, as well as the surrounding area. The property is beautiful, clean, extremely well maintained. We would love to book again next time we are in the area.

Short stay by the shore
Plover’s Nest was a true delight. The cottage is charming, modern, clean, and well appointed in a desirable area very close to the beach and downtown Newburyport’s restaurants, bars, and shops. The cottage itself was so cute that we didn’t want to leave to venture out. We look forward to returning to Plover’s Nest.

Wonderful bungalow
Loved this place. Great location and it was a very quiet space (though I did go and off-season at the beginning of May). Stove and microwave took some getting used to, and I didn’t use the oven, but the kitchen was great. It’s a small space, and the loft is open to the living area so it’s best for a couple that goes to bed at the same time or someone traveling solo. Wish they had a fire pit, but the space was great.

Paradise on Plum Island!
Everything about our August 1-6th stay at lovely “Plover’s Nest” was perfect! The home was gorgeously decorated, super-clean, and filled with all amenities we could possibly need! The loft bedroom welcomed both the sunrise and the sunset—so beautiful! The home was cozy, and yet spacious, for the 2 of us on a romantic getaway. We enjoyed the location as an ideal base for area exploration to the Plum Island beach, the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge at the other end of the island, and the lovely downtown Newburyport (great restaurants, shops, walkways along the water). We hope to return! Thank you for a great stay!

Just perfect
This stay was just the right thing for a short getaway with my husband. It was very clean. The house is beautifully laid out. (But definitely most comfortable as a two person rental) All the windows are a wonderful touch. The sea breeze was amazing. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. My husband ranks it at the top of our vacation rentals. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Stay at Plover's Nest
Clean and cozy stay at Plover's Nest on Plum Island. This was just a short staycation for us and the house was exactly as listed and even better than the photos. One minor note, the fireplace has limited use because of the placement near a soundbar. It's worth noting because a lot of people expect unlimited use of a fireplace, with no time restrictions, if it's listed as an amenity. But let me continue with how great our stay was. The iTrip team was very communicative and helpful. We had a minor issue with our coffeemaker and they stopped by to replace it in the same day. I was not expecting that level of service, but it was greatly appreciated it. You can tell they really care about guest experience. Plover's Nest was spotless and I'm not just saying that. Their attention to detail and providing a well stocked house was noticed. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful home away from home
We absolutely loved spending the week at Plovers Nest. From the moment we opened the door we were impressed. The purposed for our stay was my husband had to work in town and since I work from home instead of him driving 2 hours each way we wanted to find a place I could work from and he would have a quick commute. Plovers Nest exceeded our expectation! We had everything we needed to make dinners at home each night and I had no problem working from the house due to the great internet and the desk with ample power outlets. The view from the workspace at sunrise and sunset were unbeatable. This host really thought of every detail and loved the detail of labeling and instructions. We wanted to spend another week, but due to it already being booked (not surprisingly) we were not able to. Thank you for a great experience and a mini unexpected staycation. It truly felt like a home away from home.
