We really enjoyed staying on Plum Island. The cottage was as described, a small cottage with a big feel, and had everything we needed, except or maybe a lobster pot !! It was more than welcoming for the 2 of us, and our 2 Beagles ! We had a super hot week for June, but the mornings spent on the porch sipping coffee with the fur babies watching the tidal basin empty and fill was amazing to see ! The neighbors were so friendly, as well as everyone we met. We enjoyed some lobsters at Bobs Lobster, and the Pizza factory right down the street has some really tasty food too, Highly recommend !! We had a lovely ride up the coast into Connecticut, and went to Rye Harbor, where we tried some something called fluffy Chowder, which they are known for, and some lobster rolls too. Worth the trip just for the drive alone !! Steve is a great host !! He lives right there, and is helpful when needed ! The nearby towns are easy to get to, and many places to explore if you want to do that. Mother Nature made it a bit too hot for us to do some things we may have wanted to do, but that's ok ! It was a great trip and we would visit again ! We missed the Nature Preserve, but maybe next time !
