Local Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a quick coastal getaway in State due to Covid. This was just what we needed. The place was clean and updated. The check-in/out is a breeze. We felt safe and comfortable. Steps from the beach and a quick ride to Portsmouth for dinner. Thank you to the Clinton family - we will be back! K&J

Spectacular Place!

We loved everything about our little cottage! It was perfect for just the two of us. The beach is super close and convenient. Didn’t have to travel long distances to get to many very cool activities and destinations! Highly recommend!

Lovely Respite From The City

Cottage 2 is just lovely, well-appointed, and much nicer than the photos indicate! The hosts perfectly balance your privacy with your needs. The beach is great for wading, swimming, or just sitting at night star-gazing. Not much surf (for any interested) but not crowded either! If you have any mobility issues you'll have to head down the road a bit for easy beach access, but it's not a big deal. The bed is comfortable and I'm fairly picky about that! The shower is great as is the kitchen. I would highly recommend. I plan to go back as soon as I am able.

Great place right across from the ocean.

We really loved the cottage we stayed In. It was #2 and fit our needs perfectly. There’s a small beach across the street but you do have to traverse some rocks. There are a number of really nice beach very close as well as restaurants. We would recommend this place and the Clinton’s were really great hosts.

Perfect for 2 people, convenient to Foss Beach

Small but roomy enough for 2 people (my husband is 6'3" and doesn't do well in small places and didn't feel that way here). Good size living room and kitchen, bedroom enough, bathroom a little cramped but great use of space. Know a few things: 1. Laundry is in between cottages 3 and 4 and coin operated, $1.50 for wash and $1.00 for dry, works great. The grill is also central to the cottages and house on the property. 2. NH and Maine beaches have unique tides so most beaches get completely covered at high tide. Foss, across the street, is no different but a beach chair works on the smooth stones as well as on the sand. Bring water shoes to be able to easily navigate the stones. 3. The wood ramp up over the sea wall works fine but we needed to walk a bit on the sea wall to safely navigate down to the beach. 4. Portsmouth is not far, the closest grocery store is Market Basket on the outskirts, 10 minute drive. Both Wallis State Park and Jeness State Park to the south and north respectively get crowded but have more sand than Foss. Hampton Beach is like Wildwood NJ & OC Maryland had a child and let the child raise itself. Just saying and we have frequented both. We hope to return sometime soon!

Nice peaceful place

Nice clean quaint little cottage, ,but not all that private. Close to the beach but can’t see the ocean from cottage. I would recommend it. The owners were great. I would stay again. Note mattress is stiff so you might want to bring a foam pad as I couldn’t sleep with out one.

Lovely

The pics don’t quite do it justice- it is absolutely adorable! It was the perfect fit for two, had everything we needed and was walkable to the beach and a bunch of great seafood spots, with downtown Portsmouth just a 10 min ride. The manager and owner were both great- even left me a pint of tomatoes when he stumbled upon us admiring the garden! If you need to accommodate more people there are a number of other rentals on the property - great to scale up for friends/family.

Paradise

This sweet little cottage is the perfect getaway. The house is a wonderful size for a small family, it’s clean, nicely updated, and just feels like home. The beach is directly across the street and is one of the nicest beaches I have ever been to. You do have to climb down some rocks to get to the sand but once you’re there it is so worth it. During low tide, the water is so calm and the beach is really flat- it’s wonderful. The Clintons were so pleasant and helpful - we will absolutely stay again in the future!

Romantic Seaside Getaway

Desperate for the opportunity to get away to the ocean SAFELY during a global pandemic, and after many hours of searching, I came across this PERFECT little cottage across the street from the ocean. It is super clean and cozy, beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need including a shared outdoor grill that overlooks the stunning marsh. The owners are a delight and beyond accommodating. Foss Beach was wonderful. NH closed parking on 1A so we basically had the beach to ourselves. No issue social distancing here! We would live here all summer if we could. I so highly recommend this rental to a couple wanting a private, romantic getaway with views of the birds and sunsets over the marsh, sunrise over the sea and all the fun that is to be had in Seacoast NH. Ray's down the street is great, Petey's (in my opinion) was even better, and The Charterhouse was incredible for a fine dining experience. Truly a perfect vacation. Can't thank you enough! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Clinton

Host profile image
Owned and operated by the Clinton Family, 3 generations (almost 4) of our family have lived and operated this seasonal vacation getaway. Originally from the greater Boston area, The Clinton first purchased this beachfront destination in 1975. This parcel of land included 2 houses and 3 stand-alone cottages. Cottage #2 was at one time a Seafood takeout stand operated by the previous owners! The original name of the property in its entirety was "The Salty Breeze Inn" - and we are suckers for history! Thus we have rebranded our property as "Salty Breeze Cottages" in 2014. To this day, The Clinton Family descendants still continue to own, operate and manage this beautiful gem located in a quaint New England Seacoast town, Rye. You are part of our family when you are here! We speak fluent English, Spanish, Portuguese and some French. You are in good hands at Salty Breeze Cottages with your Hosts, The Clinton Family of Rye Beach, New Hampshire.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! We are located directly on Foss Beach in Rye, NH. Furthermore, you are closer to all the surrounding beaches such as Jenness Beach, Wallis Sands, Sawyer Beach, Bass Beach, Pirates Cove, North Hampton State Beach, Rye Harbor and if you are feeling a little adventurous, the infamous Hampton Beach.

What makes this property unique

You name it!
