renter

This is the 3rd year that we have rented The Tides. It was perfect for a big family. There were 12 of us and this house gave us plenty of room. It is convenient to the center and the beach. Jason is very responsive if there are any issues or questions. A great week and we are all looking forward to next year at the Tides!

This property is just as advertised--perfect for a family retreat! It is close to the beach, an easy walk to stores and restaurants, but just far enough away to escape any late night party noise. The property is clean and well furnished. There was plenty of room for my family of 12 to spread out or to join together for meals or games. LOVE the front porch! Jason and Kara (Luna)Blu) were great communicators and responded promptly when contacted.

Lovely property

Our family vacations in Hampton every summer. This was one of the most charming properties we’ve stayed at. Very spacious and comfortable. Jason was extremely pleasant and great at communicating. The house was wonderfully located. I suspect we have found a property that we would like to revisit yearly.

The Tides were high!

The Tides were great for our family reunion @ Hampton Beach! The rental was above what we expected and Jason was great with any questions or concerns we had! We had 2 -12yrs olds and 10 adults and we were very comfortable and location is good! Would recommend to anyone with large family! We will rent again and can’t wait till next year!! Thanks again Jason!

Tides

We rented both the High Tide and Low Tide. We found the house to be as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and silverware. Only salt and pepper were provided. Other common spices would have been nice. The main floor is open with a large table great for a puzzle or family meals. There is both a nice porch in the back and an eclectic screened porch in the front. The neighborhood is quiet with the exception of the garbage pickup that came Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. They come for the house garbage twice and for the commercial properties, a few buildings away, twice. The garbage trucks are loud early (between 6 & 7 am) in the morning. The house advertises, "no linens". We've stayed in Hampton Beach about 20 times and about 1/2 the time we have needed to bring our own sheets but never blankets. We were surprised that there were no blankets. We were lucky that we were there on a week that was pretty warm and were able to get away with using beach towels and a beach blanket on the bed. The house was clean with the exception of the AC unit filters were very dirty. We cleaned them in 3 of the bedrooms and didn't use the AC in the fourth bedroom upstairs. I would recommend this house for family gatherings. We had 10 adults and a baby and plenty of space.

Location was perfect! Minutes from the beach as well as shopping and nightlife. Communication with the host was excellent, response time was spot on. Place was very clean and the check-in process was super easy. I would definitely recommend the stay and certainly considering revisiting myself.

juste parfait

Nous étions une famille de 10 + 2 jeunes enfants de moins de 2 ans et tout était parfait. Nous avions suffisamment d'espace pour tous. L'emplacement est parfait, un peu en retrait mais a 2 minutes d'une petite épicerie et 5 minutes de marche de la plage, qui est magnifique. Les hôtes sont très facile a rejoindre et tout était tel qu'indiqué.

My family getaway

We had an amazing experience. I rented the entire house in 2021 and returned this year as well. The house was clean both times. It’s within walking distance to everything including the breach. There is a convient store right on the corner like three buildings away. Ample parking four spaces. My family was comfortable never felt crowded. The dinner table sat ten-twelve people. The entire house gave us six queen size bedrooms plus couches that opened to beds. I also would like to know how you would rate me and my family as your guests and the how we left the house. Ty and I hope you’ll consider us in 2023. I await you reply.

Perfect Location

Everyone in our party loved the location of the Tides. It is away from the large crowds but within walking distance. It is a short walk to the beach, the fishing boats and to the boardwalk. The owner/manager is very nice and responded quickly to all questions I had. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely go back and rent the Tides again.

Very nice house but old furniture

Good time but when the fire detector went off we could not reach any one either the owner or VRBO - They were not helpful at all - we removed the batteries - not a pleasent experience

Starting a new annual tradition!!

Renting this property was a good experience overall!! Jason was very accommodating and communication was excellent!! Our family enjoyed the space…it fit all of us very well with room to gather all together which is very important to us! The air conditioned bedrooms were need after a long day in the beach!! The neighbors were also very friendly and willing to help! A few upgrades could be made but overall we were very happy with the house!! Thank you Jason for making our stay so great!!

Hampton Beach family vacation

This rental is very old and not very clean. We actually went and bought some cleaning products to make it feel a little cleaner. We have stayed in Hampton Beach multiple times and my husbands family has been coming since he was a child. I would say this was probably our worst experience. All the blinds are falling apart and things look very cobbled together. For what you pay to stay somewhere I would expect things to be much nicer and at the most clean. There were also some long term renters that were staying at the property right behind the house that were very sketchy. We felt that we had to have the house locked up at all times. Strange people were coming over all the time and they would have loud conversations outside. I was very sad that this was not what we thought we were getting. We still had a good time but unfortunately we will not be going back to LunaBlu properties.

I’m glad we spoke on the phone after your stay Korin, appreciate your call and your honesty. We have replace all the blinds with the cellular kind, as the plastic kind just don’t hold up. Our “sketchy” long term bests will be moving out at the end of August. Thanks again for letting us know about his activities. Thanks, Jason & Kara Olenio, LunaBlu Properties

Family Hampton vacation

We rented The Tides as a whole, High and Low. The place was big enough for the amount of people we had with us. It was fairly clean. The pictures were a little deceiving. Close walk to the beach and a store right on the corner. Neighborhood is a little noisy. Great view of the fireworks right from the porch. Overall our stay was okay for what we needed.

Major problem

Our feet got totally black walking around barefoot because the floors were dirty. Even after 2 washings it still happened. The ceiling fans didn’t work well and were caked with dust and grime. We had a major flooding problem where filthy outside water was flowing into the lower unit because of a clogged outside drain. A plumber cleared the drain after 3 hours but we were left to clean the indoor mess. We ruined all our towels cleaning the mess. The washing machine circuit kept tripping so we were unable to wash anything. It ruined a family dinner and we couldn’t stay downstairs.

As much as we try, obviously we can’t make everyone happy, some people are just miserable. I’d encourage any of our future VRBO guests to read all the other wonderful reviews on The Tides and take this one for what it’s worth.
