Amazing location, well stocked comfy accommodations

We loved our stay here! The house location is perfect and so close to everything. There was a ton of space in the home for everyone, and we were pleasantly surprised with how large the bedrooms were (especially the primary bedroom). We would definitely choose this place again on our next visit to Portsmouth.

Adorable house, ideal location

This house is perfectly situated near everything, the water, downtown, shops, restaurants etc. perfect amount of space to relax, cook in and a great desk set up for remote working. Though the fire station is basically next door, they typically go out ‘quiet’ as they call it so rarely heard a siren. Overall a fabulous home that we can’t wait to rent again!

Great Host - Great House - Great Location

This place is a must stay if you are visiting Portsmouth. The Owner is very helpful and has everything you need detailed out to make your stay as effortless and comfortable as possible. New Renovations so everything is in pristine condition and the convenience of having the living room and kitchen made it a great upgrade over any bed and breakfasts or hotels we stayed at previous visits. Its nice to be able to come back hang out and play cards. Will definitely be booking it again next year. Thanks EJ.

Great for families

My family (5 adults and two kids) stayed here for the week of my wedding. It was a great central hub for family and friends to stop by as well as a great place for last minute wedding planning! My family had no complaints and really enjoyed their stay. The driveway is a little tight but if you know how to strategically park it’s no issue. It fit a giant SUV, and truck and a smaller SUV, and enough space for a visitor. The house had everything we needed, and so clean! Thank you for hosting my family!

Wonderfully Renovated Historic House

Looking like it could be house from Strawberry Banke on the outside, it was creatively renovated and was a modern, comfortable house on the inside. Wonderful location for walking through downtown Portsmouth and quick access over the river to Kittery Maine. Due to an ice storm on Christmas Day, all of our plans were cancelled, but did not feel deprived. We had a lovely day staying in the house and really appreciated that the owners had put up a Christmas tree and holiday decorations!

Quick walk to restaurants and stores

The house had plenty of room for two couples. It was a quick walk to many restaurants and stores. We also walked to the boat cruise. The house had a spacious leaving room and large master bedroom with a walk-in shower. The kitchen was nice too. There is construction going on right next door. It started at 6 am during the wee. But otherwise we had a nice stay.
