Sunnyside: Sunset View Getaway - Relaxing Retreat in this Charming Home!

Try to imagine waking up in a comfy house nestled in a quiet nook of Plum Island. You stretch; grab your kayak and start your day with an early morning paddle enriched by sea breezes and birdsong. Meanwhile, your fellow traveler is making breakfast or stretched out on the daybed/couch finishing that amazing book! Ahh vacation! Does it get any better than this?



Sunnyside is a 2-minute walk to a fabulous private neighborhood boat launch - soft sand access is just 2 houses down the street. The small craft launch leads to the protected bay encircled by Plum Island - so tame waters for all types of paddlers: bring your kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards.



Sunnyside is the perfect couple's getaway. One is drawn to the outside space – a partially fenced in yard with 2 decks – the wrap-around deck in the yard, and the side deck accessed by the sliding glass doors.

- Enjoy sunset views with wine and cheese at bistro set on the side deck.

- Dine at the spacious outdoor dining table.

- Catch rays as you lounge on the chaises in the private back yard.

- Rinse off with the outdoor shower.

Ooh la! What a delightful outdoor space! Sunnyside brings out your sunny side!



As you enter Sunnyside, you are welcomed by a cozy modern beachy space. In the open living room, guests enjoy a sofa with 2 swivel chairs and the 55inch Smart TV.

The kitchen has great storage – a large baker’s rack helps guests easily find pots, pans, serving pieces, and small appliances. Accoutrements also include a combination air-fryer, convection, and microwave oven, a Keurig coffee maker for each guest to make their preferred coffee, and a blender for those fabulous frozen drinks. Let’s not forget the gas grill!



For dining, guests have 2 choices, indoors the dining table comfortably seats 4 – plenty of space for a gourmet or casual meal. Similarly, Sunnyside offers spacious alfresco dining at the table for 4 on the wrap-around deck and the bistro set on the side deck.



Sunnyside is ready to host that special summer get-away. Sunnyside offers great amenities! The outdoor space is wonderful! The private deck is surrounded by a fenced yard. The side deck offers marsh and sunset view. Enjoy cooking on the gas grill and dining alfresco!



While the yard is sunny all day long, the eaves provide a bright yet shady home. The side deck with the gracefully overhanging mature tree, means you can enjoy outdoors in the shade as well.

Want some quiet time? The chaise lounges beckon - put your feet up and read with your eyes closed.



Ready for bed? Then head into the bedroom. The queen bed is bookended by two bedside tables with bedside lamps. The Window AC keeps you cool during those hot and hazy summer days.

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.

In general the cottage is uncomfortable , dirty in ways that probably cant be cleaned and looks like it was decorated from a dumpster . The furniture may not be dumpster supplied but it is without question the cheapest must uncomfortable junk available. The cottage has a musty odor that undoubtably is the result of the age and construction with nocks and cranny's that never dry out and the fact there are rugs and carpet to try and cover it up. It is WAY over priced. On the upside, it looks good from a distance.

Perfect booking location!

This was just the right size cottage and the location couldn’t have been better! We had a fairly easy drive up from the Logan International Airport, getting to downtown Newburyport was a breeze, and the little Plum Island store & restaurants were wonderful. The area around Sunny Side was quiet & peaceful. We would book it again!

The couch was uncomfortable and it's springs had sprung in one place. The place smelled like dog and there was pet hair on the sofa. I could not comfortably sit on the sofa. The bed was great! There was no microwave and I needed one. I could not take a bath in the tub because of no stopper for the drain. The AC units when set on DRY just couldn't keep up keeping the place moderately cool unless it was night time in the bedroom with the door closed. I feel I overpaid for this rental and will not be staying here again.

Sunnyside- Yes!

We were happy to stay in the clean, simple, private cottage in a quiet neighborhood of Plum Island. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. The driveway access was tight, but manageable. We drove the few miles to the Parker National Wildlife Refuge and would love to have spent more hours there looking at birds and beaches.

Cute and good location

Good location, cute, clean. Nice yard and seating area. Small but comfortable for the three of us. Needs a light in the TV and in the dining area. Would be nice to have one more seat in TV area- but its small so could be hard to do- would have to be creative. Overall a great stay.
