General Overview
We love to fall asleep listening to the waves year round. Our neighbors are all permanent residents and the beach is a 3 minute walk. Our home has a cottage feel and is warm and inviting - including in winter with a lovely wrap around working fireplace. Expansive porch for summer life and a lawn with poplar trees. Hot tub for all season use is lovely after an ocean swim or during the cold of winter.
The Space

Notes
We have one indoor cat who would love the company and who's requirements are pretty simple.

Neighbourhood
Our neighbors are all year round residents of Plum Island. The Island is amazingly quiet year round - even in the busy summer season. Just down the street is the Parker River Federal Wildlife Refuge known to serious birders, with lovely trails winding through the dunes and marshes.

Boston is an hours drive with trains and buses into the city available as well. Portsmouth New Hampshire is less than an hour away as well with plenty to offer. Salem Mass is a 40 minute drive from our home.

Jean
New member on the coast of Massachusetts. Recently retired. My husband and I have lived in our Plum Island home for 40 years and can't imagine ever living away from the ocean. Hoping to travel to interesting places both in the U.S. and Europe/Asia. As we complete some repairs and upgrades, our home will not be available for hosting until January 2025.
