Perfect Island Get-away

Our family had a wonderful week on Gooseberry Island. The house is extremely charming and the islands beaches are everything you could ask for when it comes to endless adventures and exploring with your kids. Tudor and Jim are wonderful hosts as well. Take advantage of the opportunity to rent your own island in the picturesque location.

"One of a Kind" Vacation

Gooseberry Island was a wonderful experience that brought much relaxation and many memories. When we arrived at Jim and Tudor's main home they had our car securely parked and arranged to have our coolers and essentials loaded on the boat by Anthony. Anthony drove us directly to the Island unloaded are essentials and answered any questions, he was wonderful and was always available to help us with anything we needed. From the rowboat to the kayaks we were always having a good time, Primo our English Springer Spaniel loved to join us on either the boat or the kayak and had quite a time swimming in the cove. You are able to walk out of the house and swim in the harbor, as well as rowboat up to the local beach. This beautiful house is located on a private and secure Island, is very cozy and has 3-dimensional views: the mouth of the ocean with a lighthouse, the mooring area of the Pepperell Cove and a woodsy view with multiple creek entrances for kayak trips. Very unique..... one side of the island could be hot whereas the other side had a nice breeze and is cooler, something you will never experience again! The house worked perfectly, with hot water in the showers ( including an outdoor shower), nice size kitchen, and a wonderful dining room with views of either side of the Island. The choice is yours! The woodwork and attention to detail is something you will not find on an Island. The master bedroom has views from 3 sides of the Island. The kids loved to sleep in the "bunk house", which had quite the camping feel to it. We were able to access a provision shop across the harbor by rowboat which had everyday food needs. They will even deliver with advance notice as a courtesy. Jim took my son and me out on a deep sea fishing trip, and we caught a fish about every 5 minutes! Jim has a definite knack for locating fish and with many years of fishing and knowing the waters, we caught large Cod about 12 to 18 pounds and nice size Haddock. Jim and Tudor were very kind and generous to have us to their home for an amazing meal. Jim had delivered lobsters in a live well which was stored on the dock all week to preserve freshness. We literally walked down to the dock each night and choose our lobsters from the live well. Amazing!! I must say if you're looking for privacy in a "one of a kind location" this is the spot. Jim & Tudor are amazing hosts, unbelievable chefs and just salt of the earth good people! Our vacation was not 5 stars but 10 stars.

Beautiful area!!

Our family had a wonderful week on the island! Our kids, 10 and 7, loved having our own private island. The island is large enough that everyone stayed entertained, but small enough that the kids could be outside playing on their own safely. We spent most of the time outside exploring the tide pools and climbing on the rocks. It was a new adventure every time with the tide coming in and out. At low tide, you can actually walk all the way across the water to another beach. We really enjoyed the kayaks and took them around the island, up the river, and to and from the main harbor dock when we wanted to go into town. The food at the restaurant at the harbor was delicious. The Provisions shop was also great for picking up snacks and water throughout the week. We were able to keep a car at the harbor so we got to enjoy a couple day trips to towns/beaches nearby as well. The house itself has everything you need for one family. Some luxuries such as Wifi and strong water pressure are lacking, but that is to be expected on a private island!! The outdoor shower was really nice at the end of a long day. The kids also enjoyed playing in the bunkhouse. The pier was great for fishing and jumping off into for swimming. There was always wonderful breeze that kept the house cool. Jim was very hospitable from the moment we arrived and made us feel welcome and at home. We got to enjoy some of his and his wife's wonderful food and baked goods :-) We would love to visit the area again one day!

Idyllic Island Get Away- the best of both worlds

A masterfully built and well maintained Maine Island "cottage," perfectly sited on the high point of a substantial private island to provide 360 degree vista views of Portsmouth Harbor, New Castle Island, three Light Houses & the ocean. It has modern amenities and everything needed for an idyllic week's "get away from it all" experience for our extended family and dogs. Owned by the Austin family for approximately 100 years, Gooseberry Island is a short row or boat ride from the amenities of the Pepperrell Cove/Kittery Point marina, yet feels totally disconnected from the bustle of the charming seaside towns. The island is an interesting mix of grassy lawns, mature trees, scrubby shoreline vegetation, pebble beaches and massive weathered rock formations. The Austins welcomed us at their main land compound, helped us unload our gear and coolers stuffed with a week's provisions, then securely parked our cars. They loaded us onto one of their boats for the 15 minute cruise through the harbor to the island. The dock is commercial grade, with deep water during all tides. The crew helped us carry our gear up the ramp and over the hundred yard wooden walkway. The last of the lilac blossoms were welcoming and the cottage was nicer than we had imagined. Six kayaks and a row boat provided days of fun fishing and exploring. The main floor has open architecture, large modern windows, oak flooring, cathedral ceilings, comfortable leather seating, a large cherry dining table for eight and an extensive collection of antique rugs & bronzes.The kitchen has tile flooring, ample cherry cabinets, full sized appliances and was completely stocked The front porch is the sweet spot! Upstairs has a large "MBR" with great views and a separate sleeping area for 2-4. A separate "bunk house" has 2 twins. Satellite TV and full electricity worked great as did the "plumbing" in the modern bath and the 2nd outside shower. The highlights for us were: > beachcombing, boating, family barbecues & "chilling out;" > Hours on the front porch enjoying sunsets and vista views of the ocean, New Castle, kittery harbor and mouth of the Pisquataua - watching boats and ships of all types and sizes fishing, sailing, lobstering, heading out to sea and back into port; >A half-day sightseeing trip of Portsmouth harbor and up to York on Jim's big boat; > Hosting Jim and Tudor Austin for pot luck supper! His smoked shoulder and her parfaits were super. We can't wait to get back.

The perfect spot!

Everything about staying on Gooseberry Island is perfect -- you know it when you walk up the boardwalk from the dock under arches of lilacs. Situated right across from Pepperell Cove, there are beautiful views of the mouth of the Piscataqua, Whaleback Light, Portsmouth Light, and scenery. Excellent water views all around -- hard to even describe. The cottage is wonderfully furnished, and the master bedroom has exceptionally beautiful views. You can enjoy the many water birds, watch harbor traffic, grill out, and have perfect peace & privacy -- but the Pepperell Cove Provisions store and town docks are just a quick boat trip away . . . great creeks and coves to kayak (there are kayaks on the island!). The owners, Jim and Tudor, were a pleasure to work with -- easy going and accommodating. They took great care to ensure the Pam and I were comfortable with the cottage and life on the island. A wonderful spot on earth, and I highly recommend it if you would like a unique coastal NH & Maine experience!

A little piece of Heaven right here on Earth

This setting is one of the most amazing places in New England. This was our third vacation on Gooseberry Island and every day brought something new and exciting. Although the weather did not cooperate every day, we still found things to do. The changing of the tides and seas, brought something different every day, waiting for the tide to go out to search for sea glass or other treasures brought in by the waves. We ventured into Portsmouth, walks to Sanders Lobster Company, lunch at the Oar House, trips to KTP and lunch at Robert's Bar and Grille, fishing that only resulted in bait fish and lot's of boating. The accommodations are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Being able to sit outside, even when it was raining is breathtaking. For anyone that reads this review, take advantage of clear evenings and watch planes coming out of Logan and heading to Europe. Bring a good book, make a puzzle, play cribbage, enjoy a sunset, eat lots of lobster and make memories. Gooseberry Island, Jim, Tudor and Catur are amazing people and it's clear that they love to share this very special spot. We will return!

Great place to get away

We loved our stay at Gooseberry Island -- the perfect place to turn off technology and just relax. The house is super cute and comfortable and the harbor views, especially the sunsets, are amazing. We used the kayaks every day -- both for exploring the area and getting back and forth to the town dock. Wallingford Square was a regular destination for morning coffee at Lil's and we had a great dinner one night at The Black Birch. Highly recommend!

A paradise, experience and memory to treasure.

An island paradise all your own of astonishing luxury and comfort. This home is a dream come true. The house is magnificent: full kitchen, warm and inviting living room, screened in patio with all the best of comfortable furniture, roof, fresh air, sunlight and screens to keep out bugs. It has a hidden camp with bunk beds for adventurous teenage children. It has beaches, rocks to climb on, every kind of boat to explore. And yet you’re on your own island. It’s an experience to cherish, a joy and a lifetime memory.

Unique experience!

We stayed here last summer with our theee teenagers. The house was beautiful! The house is decorated beautifully - very impressive. There is only one real bedroom which is fantastic. The other twin beds are at the top of the stairs in an alcove type area with no privacy. My kids didn't care about that. One of my boys slept in the bunkhouse which is great for teenage boys. Like a bunkhouse at summer camp. We were able to kayak everywhere. We loved being able to kayak to private beaches each day and kayaked down the little river for lobster dinner one night. We certainly entertained the dinner guests as we arrived by kayaks. We wish we would have rented the boat to have more options. Jim took us out fishing for mackerel one day and we caught hundreds! The kids loved it. You can also kayak 5-10 minutes to the boat landing which has a great outdoor restaurant for chowder or drinks. Once you meet the owner you will understand he is not in the Rental business for money- if you feel the price is too good to be true for your own island- you are a wrong. The price is silly reasonable in our opinion. We strongly recommend asking for the chocolate cake baked by Jims wife. To die for. Awesome experience for us.

Beautiful and secluded

Thank you so much! We had such a wonderful experience. It was quiet, secluded and just perfect for a peaceful vacation. We spent an entire week of relaxing, boating, and playing with our dog on the beaches. Our 10 month old baby boy enjoyed discovering the seashells, walking along the beaches and experiencing his first boat ride. We're looking forward to making this a yearly tradition. Thank you, again, for helping us create beautiful memories for our family. We'll see you next year!

Fabulous Maine Cottage!

Spent four nights with long time girl friends. Was an absolutely fabulous property, clean, well appointed, gorgeous ocean and harbor views. couldn't ask for anything more. the private little island offered privacy, great sea kayaking, and a quick and easy access to Kittery and Chancey's Creek Restaurant. Owners were wonderful to work with during the renting process, and checked in to see that all was good. Plan to rent it again next summer!

More than just and Island

We arrived Met Jim and Scott at the Dock, they helped us load and unload our bags and groceries. It was short ride from their dock to island. We had rented the Whaler for the week to tour the area, up Chanceys Creek, close ups of the light houses,and pier, very helpful to have the boat, but definatlry not a neccesity, as the town dock is so close kayaking would take no time at all. Gosseberry Island has alot more to offer than I thought, sunrise and sunset kayaking, relaxing, sunbathing, scavanging the island ,so much sea glass and whole bottles to collect . At low tide you can walk to fisher island or cross the mud flats and walk along a gorgeous beach to the pier and beach at Fort Fosters park, kids can search and shells and hermit crabs. Just be sure to return well before high tide! Fish of the dock or kayak fish. we did both from the dock one small flounder and small Stipped bass which we tossed back to grow up! I kayaked fished and did very well with strippers 19 total !! YUP! and boy was it fun! 17 were not keepers but the 2 that were towed me around in that kayak until they tired! Great Island to unwind , have fun, reconnect. We had no problems with amenities, space etc, just perfect! I highly recommend this rental! Upon return back we got to meet Tudor, and what a wonderful sweet woman! Their charm and kindness were a wonderful ending to a great Vacation, Thank you !

So relaxing - perfect getaway!

We recently stayed at this gorgeous spot for one of the most relaxing long weekends we've both had in a very long time. The house was perfect - we loved taking the boat in and out for lunches and dinners. It was so nice to come back to a quiet spot so we really could get away from it all. The restaurants in Kittery were unbelievable - we were both blown away as we had intended to experience the food scene in Portsmouth. Jim and Tudor were so kind to answer all of our questions as we were preparing for our trip. They even secured a boat for us to enjoy some lazy day cruising, too, which was the highlight of the trip for me. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, then look no further. This spot is incredible!

What an experience!

Thank you to Jim and family for a wonderful visit over the Memorial Day holiday. This was just simply an unbelievable experience, for both mom and dad but especially for our 2 kids who couldn't stop exploring every inch of the island. The row boat ride to get lobster about a 1/2 mile up one of the creeks was the highlight of our off-island time (though my wife might say shopping at the outlets!), but really it was just the pleasant together time on the island that made this so special. And while we had it all to ourselves, Jim and family were only a call away and they were so responsive - we had a minor issue with the water heater, and they had a plumber come out bright and early on a Sunday morning! Very minor blip, handled so well, in what was a trip we'll never forget!

Island Family Adventure

Jim and Tudor made us feel just like we were family! Jim arranged so much for our active family in advance and made sure that any of the questions we asked were not only answered, he went the extra mile to be helpful in making suggestions of the best local spots to visit. Jim arranged fishing adventures that included his son Catur, Jim’s own participation and their local fishing expertise. Staying on the island was wonderful. From enjoying the view, to having 3 active boys playing in the tide pools, kayaking, or rowing boats around the around the island - there was always an adventure or an opportunity to relax available. It’s hard to say what we enjoyed the most. Jim’s lobster rolls and Tudor’s baking were excellent, better than anything we could have had at a restaurant! Their hospitality was beyond what we have experienced with any other vacation home. This charming family island is the perfect place to stay.

Wow!!!

We have not stopped raving about the week on "our island" since we returned from our trip! After being away from the Maine Coast for many years, we were itching to get back to the beautiful summers we remembered. We will never stay away again (we are already deciding when to go back to the island for 2016). It is incredible how quickly the day went by while we were "doing nothing"! We felt no need to leave the island at all! My husband ad I are on the go all the time and this was the perfect vacation for us. We had glorious weather, fabulous food (Jim supplied wonderful lobster & fish; Tudor is an incredible baker!) Catur was very responsive to our needs. The island has a spectacular location, the cottage is beautifully built, the grounds are wonderful to explore and the great city of Portsmouth is very close by if one feels the need to get off the island. It is not often a vacation spot exceeds our expectations - Gooseberry Island certainly did!!! For a couple, single individual or a family, what a special experience it will be. Folks back home can't believe the pictures! Thanks again for everything!!! B&M

Wonderful Week on Our Own Private Island!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Gooseberry Island with our 3 little boys and we cannot wait to return! The little island is just perfect. There is a view out every window and the boys enjoyed exploring the island. We filled our days with kayaking, tide pooling, exploring the area and relaxing. It was wonderful and a real opportunity to relax and spend time with the family without too many distractions. The house is well equipped with everything you'll need. Jim and Catur were wonderful hosts as well. During the week we were there, we went fishing with them out on their boat. My boys were catching 6 fish at a time! It was something they will never forget and neither will we. Jim and Catur even brought lobster to our door one evening. They are warm and generous and it made the stay even better. If you want a relaxing location that allows you to take a step back from the crazy pace of life, this is the IDEAL location!

Special Place

We stayed for two weeks and didn't feel like leaving at the end of it. We almost didn't want to write a review because we didn't want to share the secret about this place! Our kids couldn't get enough of it. They spent hour after hour crabbing and exploring the island, and if you have a boat, the owners allow you to keep it at the dock. Jim, Tudor & Catur were GREAT and made the whole process of getting over to the island very easy. We saw tall ships going in and out of the harbor, kayaked all over the place and explored the coast. The kids loved watching the ships coming and going, and felt like they were on a big adventure, while we felt they were very safe spreading their wings because of the shallow waters surrounding the island. This was a dream vacation for our family and we very much hope to return!

Peaceful Beauty

Only one word for this experience, Fantastic! What a wonderful time. We truly enjoyed the island and its serenity and beauty. The house was just as Jim described it. Jim, Tudor and Catur were wonderful making sure our needs were taken care of plus wonderful lobster, fish, calamari and a delicious fresh peach pie, all supplied by the Austins. My wife and I planned on touring Maine each day but ended up staying on the island enjoying the magnificent tidal changes, kayaking, and the beautiful quiet and privacy. We will be back.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on this island! It is one of the most unique and beautiful places that I've ever seen. The tides rise and fall 10-11 feet in height. This changes the landscape dramatically and you feel like you never run out of things to explore. Our 3 kids spent the days rock climbing, finding tiny crabs and other treasures, swimming, and just enjoying the freedom of being able to explore. My husband and I tied the kayaks together and were able to kayak to lunch, to a general store, and a few gorgeous beaches all within a few minutes. Even though the house has 2 TVs, our kids never even asked to turn them on (unheard of!). Also, I have to mention the owners and family were wonderful about checking in to make sure we were okay (which makes island life much less intimidating). Thank you for a wonderful romantic vacation! We will treasure the memories always.

Magical vacation!

This was our best Home Away experience by far! Jim, Tudor and Catur were altogether too kind and took great care of us. They are hospitality experts- so friendly and helpful! The lilacs were in bloom, the fish was delicious, there is a view of the ocean from every room. It is an easy kayak to the local sandwich shop or a couple of restaurants. It was a perfect place to get away and is very relaxing- we are looking forward to returning.

Amazing Vacation

Jim, Tudor and Catur are the best people to rent from. Our family had an amazing vacation and experience in Kittery. Maine itself is beautiful and charming, but Jim, Tudor and Catur really are the frosting on the cake. Believe all the reviews and stop looking at other properties. This is the place you want to stay and the hosts you want to rent from! Thank you Jim, Tudor and Catur for your hospitality and letting us rent your home.

Stunning and Unique - A Perfect Vacation!

We had a fabulous week on Gooseberry Island. Jim and Tudor are terrific hosts, both before and during the stay. The fresh lobster and fish that Jim arranged for us were incredible. Sitting back on your own island as the sun sets, sipping wine, and eating lobster straight from the pot - what could be better? The house itself is spacious and comfortable for a family of 4, with everything you need. The kids have a choice of sleeping in an alcove off the main bedroom, or in their own bunkhouse. Our 6 and 8 year old tried the bunkhouse but got scared, I imagine older kids would love it. There is a green lawn for the kids to run around on, throw a frisbee etc. A BBQ for cooking up dinner with the best table in New England reserved exclusively for you. The toilet had me concerned, being a hole in the ground job, but it is actually perfectly fine - just like a normal toilet and absolutely no smell. In fact, the bad smells are sucked away better than in a normal bathroom. You need to be water-wise, and there is no laundry, but we just took a load of clothes into Portsmouth one day and got them washed, dried and folded for $10, so no big deal. The kayaks are terrific. We used them every day to either paddle around the harbour or to get into town (about a 10min paddle to the town jetty, where we left our car). Even our 6 year old could handle her own kayak. Your other option for getting to the mainland is Captain Neil, who will give you a return trip for $10 to the town jetty (I think a bit more to Jim's house), which works great if you know what time you are going to leave and come back. It is a minor inconvenience not being on the mainland, but for just a week, the pure magic and peace of staying on your own island far outweighs the inconvenience. Kittery Point is the nicest spot between Boston and Portland. Its about an hour into both cities, so a great place to base yourself. Portsmouth is about 10min drive, great for picking up groceries and the Market Square in town is fantastic for a stroll and lunch. There are some good walks in the area, and Jim will tell you how to get to a lovely quiet beach away from the hordes of tourists. We are very fussy travellers, and we just loved staying on Gooseberry Island. It really is a special place, and you feel so relaxed out there surrounded by water. Magic! Thank you Jim and Tudor for sharing it with us!

Best vacation ever!

Gooseberry Island is by far our favorite vacation to date! Jim, Tudor, and Catur were more than accommodating and attentive to our every need. The island itself was heaven on earth - so relaxing and beautiful with no shortage of things to do. Fresh lobsters delivered to our dock at a great price to make our 4th of July celebration second to none. Our 9-year-old daughter was well entertained searching for shells, fishing, swimming, and kayaking. We highly recommend this rental and will definitely be coming back in the future!

The owner’s family has roots in the Portsmouth/Kittery area that date back to the 17th century. They love the seacoast area as well as their proximity to the White Mountains. Avid fishermen, they spend many nice summer days fishing for striped bass, cod, haddock, and other local fish. The cottage on Gooseberry Island has always been a special place for them, and is often the destination of choice for social outings. They find it the ideal location for picnics and lobster bakes. Complimentary fresh fish is made available to their guests provided the owners have had successful fishing trips during your stay.
