It was wonderful to wake up by the ocean each morning, and we were lucky to have beautiful weather all week. Jan greeted us upon arrival, gave an informative tour, left some snacks/beverages for our enjoyment, and made suggestions for restaurants and places to see. We appreciated the kind welcome and found the place felt like home when we returned from our adventures each day. We will definitely be booking again!

This was our third stay at Jan and John’s beautiful property. The views are spectacular even during a nor’easter as we had a front row seat to the storm. As always Jan has thought of every comfort and convenience from plenty of plush towels to extremely comfortable bedding, and even providing snacks and drinks for our arrival. We didn’t even feel the need to leave the house. This is our favorite rental in Portsmouth and we will definitely be returning for our fourth stay.

Jan was an amazing hostess. The personal touches were so appreciated with rich toiletries, beverages, and an abundance of supplies. John did a fantastic job with the architecture, and the furnishings were perfect for a bay-side home. The steam shower felt so relaxing too. I can’t wait to go back.

Perfect Hosts & Home!

We cannot say enough about our stay in Portsmouth. The house had everything we needed and more— it was so clean and spotless with the best views imaginable. It was in a great central location close to Newport and Bristol. This is a very special home and we made some great memories here. Thank you to our wonderful hosts, Jan and John!

Jan & John were wonderful hosts. Communication was great; they were available for any questions or needs. The house was clean, lovely & had everything you’d need for your stay, including toiletries. The beds were on the softer side for us, but it’s a very individual thing. The master has a sleep number bed that helped. One thing to be aware of is that the windows, while they give a beautiful view, don’t have blinds on them. So you’ll be waking at the first sign of light, especially upstairs in the master suite! Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the outside given the weather but the views were beautiful. Would have loved to just sit outside with coffee and watch the water. Location was great—short drives to Bristol, Newport, etc. Neighborhood quiet. Thank you Jan & John for sharing your home!

Paradise

We love it so much here. The hosts are wonderful and always helpful. If peace, quiet, and beauty are what you're looking for in a vacation home, this is it. It's also strategically located within easy driving distance of Newport, Bristol, Warren and many other fun places, as well as nature reserves, beaches, etc. There are a couple of great grocery stores nearby as well. We are already planning our next stay.

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We bought the property for the water and water view. The property is off the beaten track... sitting on the deck or from the inside looking out, watching the different species of birds fly or float by, (one morning I counted eleven swans passing by). Watching the ever changing skies from sunrise to sunset, brings peace to my busy life.

What makes this property unique

The home is designed for year round vacations. The home has water views from most windows.
