Great location, walkable to the city

We enjoyed our 3 generational family trip to Portsmouth, NH. The house was a perfect fit for our family and had all of the conveniences of home. The city was filled with restaurants, shops and historical buildings, most in walking distance. We enjoyed a narrated harbor cruise, took a day trip to Boston and went multiple times to the Atlantic Ocean beaches.

Portsmouth stay

This home was amazing. It has lots of little extra personal touches. Michelle, the owner went out of her way to accommodate any special requests we had. It is so convenient to downtime Portsmouth. We visited several different restaurants such as Street 360 for brunch and Thirsty Moose brewery. Trips to Newcastle beach and Durham for the food truck were also wonderful. Highly recommend the home.

UNH Reunion Weekend 2024

Our stay at Michelle's home was great! The location is perfect, an easy walk downtown or a short Uber ride. My girlfriends and I were there for the UNH Reunion weekend. Having 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths was perfect. Also, having the kitchen or the family room/den to hang out in was so much nicer than sitting around a hotel room to catch up. With the extra space, as opposed to being in a hotel room, no one had to worry about keeping anyone awake. If you wanted to stay up & talk you knew you would not bother someone who was trying to fall asleep. I would highly recommend Michelle's home to anyone visiting Portsmouth!

Lovely property in quiet water view neighborhood

Lovely property that was very comfortable. Great walkable location into fun shopping areas and practically on the water. Just a walk across the street and we saw horseshoe crabs scurrying along in the water in the evening. Highly recommended

great location, charming house

the location is excellent proximity to downtown Portsmouth. It was so nice to be able to walk to and from dinner. Very quiet neighborhood. Charming old house with many older home quirks. The 3rd floor bedroom and bathroom are separated from the house but up many stairs so not too good for older adults and honestly more suitable for children or teens. It was quite stuffy however there is a nice breeze from the windows however.

Excellent stay

Perfectly located (10 minutes walk to downtown Portsmouth), spotless and very thoughtfully equipped. We were a group of six and had everything we needed to sleep comfortably, prepare meals and hang out together when not out on the town. There is a 1981 edition of Trivial Pursuit in the living room which made for some hilarious fun. Michelle was a very communicative host and let us check in a bit early, which was very appreciated as we were driving all the way from Montreal. Absolutely would recommend!

Perfect Girls’ Weekend!

What a beautiful home! Michelle leaves not a single detail to chance - we would hardly wonder about something and there it was. It truly felt like our home away from home. It really is a quick easy walk to downtown and we had a great day poking around all the shops. (Try Surf if you enjoy delicious seafood and beautiful water views.). It was unseasonably warm when we visited (50+ in February) so we even got to enjoy the front patio. Finally, it wasn’t an issue for our group but the stairs to the second and especially the third floors are steep - just something to keep in mind. We’re already planning when we can return!

Lovely old New England home with modern conveniences

This well appointed home had everything we could possibly need for our stay, plenty of parking, helpful but discrete little signs explaining how things work, etc. Loved the architectural details and construction mixed with modern upgrades. Perfect location in a dog-friendly neighborhood, close to an ocean inlet and walking distance to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed hanging out in the the kitchen and loved the warmth and charm of the gas fireplace in the living room. So pleased with our stay, we can't wait to return, already planning our next stay!

Amazing Place - so convenient to down town

What a great time. There were four of us - a couple and two single friends. Plenty of room to stretch out. We had coffee every morning in the living room - and wine and cheese every night before we started our evening events (we were in town for a wedding). What a great value for 4 for 2 nights. Michelle was also very flexible in our check in and check out. Of note - our stay was during the crazy high tides that had to be extremely stressful for our host - and yet she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. If I were in her place - I would have been a basket case.

Christmas Stay

We had a lovely Christmas staying in this beautiful home!! We walked into downtown to do last minute shopping on Christmas Eve and enjoyed seeing all the holiday decorations! The house was immaculate, warm, cozy and easy to have our dogs with us! We had family come over and the kitchen had everything I needed to prepare meals and bake desserts, there was plenty of parking! Perfect house in a perfect area! We hope to get back next year!

Lovely stay in vibrant Portsmouth

We enjoyed an anniversary weekend at this lovely property. Nice, quiet location just blocks from a bustling Portsmouth and a short drive to local beaches for long dog walks. The house itself is light filled and has a wonderful, well equipped kitchen. The second floor bedroom and bathroom were perfect for us. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and appreciated our responsive host. We hope to return to spend more time at the beaches and exploring all that Portsmouth shops and restaurants have to offer.

Location, location!

We loved this location! Very easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants; don’t miss Cure or Surf! 5-10 minute drive to grocery stores or Kittery stores/restaurants (Roberts is a favorite). We were there for a week over Thanksgiving and did a fair amount of cooking. The updated & very functional kitchen was much appreciated! It was also well equipped, but could use a new frying pan and a wooden spoon or two ;-) King master on second floor was very comfortable. Plenty of closet options & large updated bathroom with walk-in shower & soaker tub. This beautiful old home is well cared for & was extremely clean. It is cozy with lots of big windows and natural light. Unfortunately with age comes a slightly uneven kitchen floor and narrow, steep stairs going up to second and third floors. We didn’t use the two bedrooms on third floor so really not an issue for us but could be for others. It was very convenient having 2 full baths, there’s also a nice 1/2 bath on third floor. Bedding and linens were all nice and plentiful. WIFI was fast throughout the house. We had 3 people “working from home” with no issues. We didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space, but there was a nice patio and a couple deck sitting areas with water views. Plenty of parking. Keyless front door made coming & going as well as check in very simple. We also loved having the back yard entrance for taking the dogs in and out. The owners were nice & very easy to communicate with. Detailed instructions and labels helpful.
