Fantastic vacation. Location was perfect. Great views of Hog Island. It was so peaceful and quiet. The house was comfortable and large enough if we had gotten rain, we would not be on top of each other. All the amenities we would need were there.

The property was perfect. The views were magnificent, day and night. I lived in Portsmouth for over 40 years and the only wildlife I saw was rabbits and the occasional coyote. During our stay this week we saw deer every day !

You pick a property for your vacation and you hope for the best. And with this cottage we really felt like we had the best, and then some. There were things that you wouldn’t think to ask for—like large windows that made you feel like you were on a houseboat, like the bridge that at night looked like a jeweled necklace, like the sunset that made us get back in time each night. A lovely place, and the hosts were great—very responsive and accommodating.

Over all it was a good experience. I’d suggest replacing carpets and upgrading kitchen utensils and equipment. Our enital thought was the unit was furnished with utensils and hardware attained from yard or estate sales. Location is very good, the deck was nice.
