1. Lovely, charming home. A short walk to Portsmouth, easy access to local state parks! Host is an outstanding, and makes everything easy. I would definitely stay here again.
2. Bright, clean and spacious home. Great location for visiting Portsmouth and surrounding area. Fresh white roses, bottle of wine and welcoming note greeted us when we arrived after a long travel day. Great host, providing clear instructions and always available for questions.
2. Host has done a great job setting her home up for guests. The home was very clean, comfortable beds and space for hanging out. Kitchen is well equipped. Responsive host and always wanted to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay a good one.
4. This home is a hidden gem, nestled in a family-friendly and quiet neighborhood -- close to the city, but not too close. The home was everything that we could have hoped for; exactly as described. Although host was far away, she was an excellent host. Maintained contact with us via phone / text during our month-long stay. If we need to stay in the Portsmouth area again, we hope to stay at host's home.

Small house but good for single persons, a couples, or couples + infants. The house was comfortably furnished and it has a nice back yard. Walking distance to downtown Portsmouth and grocery store.

Thank you for the 4 stars! This home is coming back on the market after a multi year pause, and I wanted to address (for others viewing the review), this review. It was written by the parent that rented the home (after she viewed the home in person before securing the rental) for their daughter, husband and one young child for a month. Possibly, the family is used to a very spacious home, which may be why the "small home" comment was made, also one of the bedrooms may have been blocked off when they rented it (which is no longer the case). Up to 6 guests thus far have stayed in the home via other mediums and notation of a "small" home has never been a comment that comes up. This is a New Englander, situated very close to downtown, sq footage is approx. 1600+. 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, beautiful large kitchen, living room etc.. Please note I have added additional reviews from other platforms (all 5 stars) for prospective guests to review.
Hope all is well Sally, enjoy the upcoming summer!
We had a great time staying in this lovely spacious home. There were lots of rules/guidelines, so others should be aware. None that were unreasonable. We would definitely rent this place again!

Many guests stay multi weeks or months and we provide extra details about the home onsite for everyone’s easy reference. Providing that Information up front ensures both guest/s and host have a great experience!
Thank you all for being great guests and enjoying our home as much as we do! And thank you for the 5 stars.
Happy summer
Accommodating host, and the house fit our needs for the week perfectly. Thanks for hosting us!
It’s a 10-15 walk to most restaurants and 20-25 walk to some other places we explored. Otherwise it’s a 5 minute drive.
We chose to walk so that we didn’t have worry about driving and could enjoy some drinks, and we took a couple of driving excursions to Ogunquit and Kittery.

I am a native New Englander. I love Portsmouth NH due to it's proximity to both the ocean and the mountains and the ability to be active year round in this special place. It's truly a gem!
Why they chose this property
My home is well cared for, nice amenities, home is updated, close to everthing you could want to do and see while visting the area. If desired, you can leave the car at home and walk or bike. Yes you can even bike to the beach if you are up for a nice bike ride down to the coast! The location is peaceful, family frinedly and yet very close to downtown Portsmouth.
