Very cute area. Wonderful for kids! A short walk down the street to a playground and 10 min walk or 2 min drive to a small local beach that you can bring dogs as well.

My teens and I had a peaceful and relaxing visit. The space was as described. I did discover the large mattresses were both very soft, so if you need back support, the twins are much more firm. The back yard is perfect for cooking out and family dinner. My teens loved being able to take a boat out, and we discovered walking trails nearby perfect for walking the dog. There are many restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Grafik coffee is excellent and it was also a quick drive to Newport. All in all a very enjoyable stay at a much needed time in our life.

Great house and location

This VRBO in Portsmouth was the perfect location! Tons of things to do in a very close proximity. Very friendly neighborhood, coffee shops, and markets. Walkable to the beach and coffee shops. Mike was a great host and very quick to respond via email/text. Will definitely stay here again if ever in the area!

This cottage was perfect for our stay for a swim meet held at Brown. It was exactly as described with great communication - check in was easy and we were able to check out later making it much less stressful. Would love to return in the warmer months! Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful!

It was exactly what I was looking for. Dogs are allowed, the pet fee and rules are very reasonable. The property was as described with plenty of amenities and the best part was the water right across the street with the living room bay window being a literal window that overlooks the bay! I enjoyed the view very much and was sad when it was time to depart. The closest beach is walking distance. Lots of stores and food in the area so no need to drive too far. Overall an excellent place to stay.
