Great little home in Kittery!
Clean and quiet home. Comfy beds & easy to get to Portsmouth & other areas. Home just as pictures show. Amenities included coffee, filters, limited spices, a few laundry pods (much appreciated!) and plenty of regular household items (trash bags, etc). Great stay over all!

Great spot
A wonderful property - quiet and serene with a large fenced backyard. House is well maintained and near kittery and portsmouth. Only problem is the front door lock. It needs immediate replacing. My wife was inside and noticed that the locking mechanism would not turn even though the proper code was entered. The hidey key worked but was still difficult to use.

Underwhelming
Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with this house. The pictures of the listing make it look a lot nicer than it actually is (the pictures make it look new but the house is older and could use a lot of work). It seemed clean enough when we got there, but there was also a large pile of trash building up on the side of the house that animals were starting to get into. As another review mentions, the toilet was really frustrating; we needed to fill it manually with water to get it to fill and flush at times, and there's only 1 bathroom so that made things worse. Location is alright but we did feel a bit removed from a lot of the restaurants and places to visit. We originally booked a 2 night stay but ended up leaving after the first day and got a hotel room in downtown portsmouth. Overall, we would not stay here again. It could be a good option if you have pets since the backyard is fenced in, but I dont think I would recommend it outside of that.

TERRIBLE
We arrived at a run down property, trash in driveway, all windows opened and a terribly strong aroma coming form the house. We called Vacasa immediately to tell them we could not stand the smell. we were assured a quick phone call which still has not come. I called, texted, emailed multiple times and vacasa kept saying they were waiting for a "local manager". VRBO staff even tried to assist. I need a full refund as we never stayed there. We had to drive and call around for hours to find a reasonable place to stay and wasted hours of vacation on this issue.

Toilet wasn’t working
One bathroom and the toilet wasn’t flushing or filling properly. The water was actually shut off to toilet which took us awhile to figure out. After opening back of toilet ourselves and jiggling things we could get it to work but had to do it each time. Vacasa offered to move us but we were still waiting on a friend to arrive from a distance. I was told we would be compensated for 1 night and someone would come the next day to fix it. No compensation or even any reply from Vacasa still. We were told someone came next day while we were out but felt we’d fixed it well enough by 1 am ourselves. There were also several animals living in the attic and very active all night long. If not for these things the place was generally ok but we were glad to be there only 2 nights. The house next door is not under their control but totally abandoned looking and creepy.
