The rental was very clean and looked like new. The kitchen was well stocked which my wife enjoyed. The beds were very comfortable and the setting was quiet. We enjoyed an hour walk around Gerrish Island to see the pretty homes, flower gardens and ocean views. Also, we walked to the Chauncy Creek Lobster Pier for fresh & tender lobster rolls for lunch. We found Pickle Ball courts an easy 15 minutes away in Portsmouth and while there we bought a few things at the Portsmouth Farmers Market. Kittery Point and Portsmouth are wonderful places to visit for a weekend getaway. I highly recommend this rental.

Second visit and still fantastic!

I am very happy that I chanced upon this beautiful and well accommodated property a few months ago. It will be hard to stay anywhere else when I visit the area again. Laurie is an amazing host, very kind and quick to respond. Thank you for making me feel safe and comfortable.

Well appointed unit, clean, well equipped kitchen. The small touches, flowers, breakfast basics - (coffee, tea, half n’half even some bananas and small muffins!). Laurie was very accommodating and shared lots of good input for local walks, restaurants, etc. Quiet and peaceful.

Laurie and Chris are perfect hosts and have a lovely apartment. They are very friendly, excellent communicators, and seemed to anticipate any question that we had and provided thoughtful, detailed answers and suggestions for activities. They take immaculate care of their property. The apartment is newly and beautifully renovated, has top of the line appliances, furniture, linens/towels, and kitchenware. The quiet air conditioner and bedroom fans kept us cool and comfortable during the few days of unprecedented heat. The location is ideal - walking distance to the creek with easy access for kayaking, Tower Beach, and Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier. One of the highlights was the screened porch with very comfortable furniture - an ideal spot for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails while listening to the birds and watching for the deer that wander through the yard. We (three adults stayed in the apartment, with our adult children visiting during the day) look forward to returning next year!

Paradise Found

The experience with this location, property and host topped the list of all other rentals we have used over the years.The property was a pristine condition, the location was truly tranquil. Lovely walks down the very quiet street to take in nature and perfect, private dock on the property made it even more special.The host of the propriety was a true gem!

Perfect

We loved it — the hosts, the apartment, the location - all perfect. The apartment is so much bigger than I anticipated; the hosts were great with check in/check out communication, providing local recommendations for dinner, and proactively leaving us 4 umbrellas because someone checked the weather (them) and someone did not (me). We will book again for sure .

Best VRBO I have stayed in. Pictures of property understate the beauty of the area and of the thoughtful, tasteful internal decor. The owner Laurie provided basics of coffee, tea, treats, negating a run to the store upon arrival. Checkout was much like a hotel process vs. typical VRBO. Our stay was more like a 5 star experience. Great restaurants, beaches in the area with a lot to do. Laurie is an exceptional hostess and does all to ensure a great experience. Highly recommend - hidden gem.

The Best VRBO I've every stayed in!

Laurie's place was the best! She's thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. The apartment was spotless and stocked with everything you need to cook. I love all the nice touches like cream and coffee, and even fresh flowers. The apartment is situated in a quiet location, surrounded by wonderful birds and wildlife. It is below the main house, but a separate driveway and entrance make it very private. I will definitely stay here again and look forward to it next time we visit Kittery Point. A gem of a place, you will be impressed!

Neat property close to everywhere!

My mother and I had a great time here after hurricane milton foiled our Florida plans. It was easy to get to and easy to get around. We enjoyed eating at Bistro 1828 and Lils cafe. The kittery trading post is a must and we spent two afternoons checking out portsmouth, including a historic walking tour. We had great weather and only wished we checked out Fort Foster sooner. This property was clean and comfy. Laurie even provided some fresh flowers and a couple treats. You can hear some noises from upstairs but they didnt bother us, mostly just walking around sounds. We thoroughly enjoyed how easy it was to get around and would stay again!
