We spent a weekend here while touring UNH. The location right on the lovely coast cannot be beat. It was so nice to have a quiet home to come to after a busy day on campus.

Such an adorable cottage, beautiful view of the ocean, convenient location to Wallis Sands. The domain was spotless and the owners were super easy to get in touch with if needed. It was perfect for our needs!
The place was clean and cheerful. Had all the things you need in the kitchen. Quiet and peaceful.

It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. If you ever find yourself in need of accommodations again, we'd be happy to welcome you back!
We stayed for one night. We were 5 and we fit perfectly for one night.
The place has a nice outdoor seating area and we enjoyed it.
We were 10 minutes or 15 minutes away from Portsmouth , so it was a perfect spot to stay , on the beach and close to a main city.
Safe parking spot and easy walk to the beach.
Stayed at this lovely 2BR/1Bath while visiting my sister in NH. This unit is a great pied-à-terre for anyone looking to unwind, go to the beach [in summer of course] or simply to have a great alternative to the local hotel offerings. The team at #seacoastvacationrentals was outstanding: timely and clear communications.

We had a blast here. Wish we could keep it a secret so that it will be available when we want to return. Great view of the ocean. Clean space. Exactly what the listing says it will be.
Property exactly as pictured. Very clean. Everything works. Nice view of the ocean. Only suggestion: tub needs non-slip mat. I slipped but fortunately did not fall.

Thank you for your feedback, Susan! We're delighted to hear that the property met your expectations and was exactly as pictured, clean, and in good working order. Your safety is important to us, and we appreciate your suggestion regarding the tub. We'll look into adding a non-slip mat to ensure a safer experience for our guests. We're relieved to hear that you didn't suffer any serious injuries from the slip. We hope that aside from this incident, you were able to enjoy your stay and the view of the ocean. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Everything was absolutely seamless from the booking to leaving. I had asked a couple questions prior to going and the Host got right back to me within minutes. Got to the place and everything was explained perfectly in their emails about where to park, location of the house, codes, etc. received emails during our stay checking in to make sure everything was great. The house itself is exactly as described and depicted in the advertisement. Perfect little place for a small family. Location is amazing! Beautiful view and walking distance to the beach even with 2 little kids and all their gear.

Thanks for the wonderful review! I’m so glad everything went smoothly for you and your family, and that the location worked out perfectly with the beach just a short walk away. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Our stay was great here! My group had a total of 3 units, which was very convenient to be so close together. My two young boys loved exploring the rocky beach across the street looking for sea glass and shells. The view from our deck was beautiful. The most notable thing about our stay was how easy it was to communicate with our property manager. VRBO messaging system was down and it actually impacted our reservation details, but one of the property managers called me directly and fixed the issue that was really VRBO’s fault. All in all a great stay!

Thanks for the great review! I’m so happy to hear your boys enjoyed the rocky beach and that the view from the deck was a hit. I’m also glad we could sort out the reservation issue quickly—communication is key! Hope to have you back for another great stay!
I stayed with my stepmom and sister. There is two bedrooms and a couch bed. The beds were comfy. There is only one bathroom for three women but we managed just fine. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels for everyone. There were pots and pans and plenty of cups and mugs.
Location was wonderful as you have nothing blocking your view of the ocean. You can see the Isles of Shoals in the distance. Walk to Wallis sands beach.
Parking spots for two cars made it nice and easy!

Thank you Vrbo for providing a wonderful stay for our daughter and her family for the holiday weekend at Snug Harbor. Our daughter, being a sales director for the JW Marriott in Las Vegas (and our son-in-law an executive chef in Vegas) were thrilled with the accommodation at Snug Harbor (with no complaints what so ever from the teenage grandchildren!). We so very much appreciated the excellent and timely communication with Sean from property management to keep us informed of all check -in/out procedures and requirements for stay. A very easy check-in process and the beautiful property was exactly as listed - clean, comfortable, beautiful ocean view (even in the rain) and a perfect location to be with us in Rye for the holiday. Thank you so much. And we look forward to working with Vrbo again soon.

Dirty sofa
We had to check out after the first night because the pull out sofa was filthy. It smelled like fish and had blood and other stains on the mattress. The kitchen silverware was also dirty. We were refunded the remainder of our booking but were charged for the first night including fees. We spent the second day of vacation moving to a new location. I think considering the circumstances we should have been comped for the entire booking.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and we’re truly sorry your stay fell short of expectations. This is not the experience we strive to provide. We understand how upsetting it must have been to discover the condition of the pull-out sofa and silverware, and we regret the inconvenience it caused—especially having to spend part of your vacation relocating.
We refunded the unused nights as soon as we learned of the issue, and we’re reviewing what happened with our cleaning team to ensure this doesn’t occur again. While our policy typically covers a refund for unused nights, we understand your concerns and have passed this feedback along to the appropriate team for further review.
We do appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize again for the disruption to your trip.
