Portsmouth Downtown With A View And Bring Your Dog Too!

There were 4 of us women in our 60s--left the pets at home--what a cozy, comfortable home! We walked to shopping, food and historical sights. We even enjoyed the beautiful beach right outside the kitchen door. Thank you! We would definitely stay again!

Great place great location wonderful spot and would definitely recommend if you want to come to Portsmouth!!

What a wonderful home! The kitchen is light filled and well appointed. We spent a lot of time around the table. The living room is cozy, with an electric stove to warm the room on chilly evenings. The downstairs bedroom was comfortable, though the bathroom is not attached. The shower is quite small for bigger people but we made it work. The stairs are typical old New England, meaning narrow and winding. They were fine for the younger ones in our family. The third floor was the kids hangout and they loved it. The location is ideal for exploring Portsmouth. We enjoyed watching the tide go in and out. Michelle is an excellent host. She responded quickly to questions. She was so accommodating. We would love to return.

Often choosing a short-term rental over a hotel means missing out on special touches. This was not the case with Michelle's property. The fireplaces and master bath made our trip complete. The little park down the street allowed us to catch the sunrise while taking the dog out. The dog loves watching the neighborhood from the deck while we had coffee in the bright kitchen. We would definitely stay again.

Auto.Electric Stove in Kitch was lovely to warm up and chat!

Wonderful experience all around! Host was very accommodating when a blizzard made travel impossible on our intended arrival day, and we shifted the reservation forward a day! The house itself was so charming, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Our girls loved the third floor room with two twins and adjacent TV room with space to hang out and play games together. The whole house is bright with natural lighting and beautiful antique pumpkin pine floorboards. The gas powered wood stoves in the kitchen and living room created such a nice ambiance along with providing an extra toasty way to warm up after a wintery day in downtown Portsmouth. Our pup Oberon, a boxer, loved that he was able to join us on this vacation. He especially enjoyed watching the neighbors and their dogs walk by on their way somewhere. We will definitely book here again the next time we are visiting Portsmouth!!!

The house was beautiful, clean, and cozy.

What a beautiful home!!! Michelle is a wonderfully accommodating host. The beds were so comfortable. The home is very clean and in a perfect location to walk in the great town of Portsmouth. Cozy fireplaces add to the splendid ambiance.

We loved this place. Charming, immaculate and well stocked. The owner was very responsive & helpful with restaurant suggestions. If we go to Portsmouth again we will definitely stay there!

The location was great, the house was well stocked with pots/pans/glassware/etc. The bed was comfortable and the main bathroom was very nice. I did find it strange that there were no window treatments in the kitchen/dining area, it was a little strange since the street has a decent amount of foot traffic. It also meant the kitchen was pretty chilly.

This location and house offer a family room to stretch out and be very comfortable with sleeping and bathroom needs. We would book again if needed for a stay in Portsmouth.

Great old house on a quiet street close to the action of downtown. The house was decorated incredibly tastefully and the kitchen appliances were all new and in great shape!

Michelle was welcoming, supportive, and communicated well. The house was clean, nicely furnished, and well-equipped. It was also great to be such a short walk to downtown!It's mentioned elsewhere but just to point out again for awareness, since the house is old, the stairs to the upper levels are pretty steep and some of what looks like the original flooring was not entirely level and even. Not a problem for most, but something to consider for someone with mobility issues.

This was our second girls’ weekend and the house is as charming and accommodating as we remembered! There is not a single thing we wondered about or looked for that Michelle hadn’t already taken care of. The one caution continues to be the very steep stairs to the additional bedrooms and bath - our group handles it but something to keep in mind. The location is so centrally located - this time we enjoyed Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude. Can’t wait to visit again!

This was such a perfect location and great for our group of 5. Our kids loved the fabulous tub and bathroom. I loved how easy it all was. Definitely stay again.

Excellent property Clean and had so many unexpected items for our convenience

Michelle was absolutely terrific through the whole process, and her home was really lovely. And as a destination, Portsmouth is just perfect.

Very clean and pet friendly! Very comfortable space

The time away was wonderful for several reasons. One reason was because the house was so warm and so comfortable and had everything needed. It is an old New England home with character totally updated however.I felt safe in my surroundings there.Michelle the owner was gracious and quick to respond to a question that I had. I would go back to the house just because of Michelle too.Portsmouth, NH is a walking town with many shops and restaurants - the house was a perfect location to walk or take a 5 minute car ride. It would be fun to go back!

This property was wonderful! So clean and comfortable. We were in Portsmouth for my niece’s wedding and this was the perfect spot. It is so close to downtown. I honestly wish I had more time to explore the surrounding area. Highly recommend this property!

Great location and comfortable house

Amazing stay per usual!

This property was in a great location, close to everything, walkable. Also in a good neighborhood to walk the dog

Convenient location. The highest level bedrooms would benefit from having curtains so people can dress more comfortably and sleep more soundly. Very steep stairs to climb so people with mobility issues would have difficulty navigating higher floors.

The house was immaculate and contained everything you will need for a comfortable stay. Beds were very comfortable, and we really enjoyed the outside deck and back yard. Michelle was extremely responsive to any questions we had. We were close to downtown and were able to walk most places. We had dinner reservations both nights but decided to drive and both restaurants were close by and delicious. All in all it was a great stay. There were 3 of us.

We love staying at this lovely VRBO in Portsmouth! The host is a great communicator, the location is great for walking into town and venturing to Maine and Massachusetts. This VRBO is quaint and well equipped. We look forward to returning next fall.

Cozy place in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Portsmouth.

Great place! Exactly as described. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect stay at this property. Everything we needed was available and owners were very responsive and helpful! Comfortable beds, great kitchen and fabulous location!

Rooms were clean, location was quiet. Small bay with boats is a great area to walk your dogs on a leash. Located right out your door.

Another outstanding stay at this property! A all around.

This house is very comfortable, well stocked and immaculate. We spent a week here at the first of August. The neighborhood is quiet and close to everything in Portsmouth. I would happily stay here again.

We had a month stay here and loved every minute! The owner is wonderful and responsive. The place is gorgeous inside with plenty of room. So nice to be able to have the dog with us! A walk to downtown, kayaking at the boat launch just steps away, and 20 minutes to beaches! Highly recommend.

Overall we had a great stay while in town for my son's wedding in Portsmouth. The home was clean, with plenty of supplies and close to downtown!

This house is on a nice quiet street. But it was very close to downtown for shops and restaurants. We had a question about the lock on the door and the owner responded quickly.

Clean, well stocked house with all you need for a weekend away.

The stay was perfect. Easy to get into and seamless communication. It was nice that there were bedrooms on all floors! Perfect for the kids!

Great location, very nice place as described.

The house was clean when we arrived. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with anything you may need. The outdoor space was nice with a beautiful water view. The dogs loved walking the street and watching the geese. Definitely on my list to return to!

Great stay to celebrate my son’s graduation from UNH. The house was well appointed and comfortable. Michelle was extremely responsive to questions and was gracious enough to allow for early check in and late check out. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate so there was no taking advantage of the great outdoor seating. Would stay again.

The home is located close to Portsmouth downtown and can be easily walked. Everything from the booking to the check in process was smooth.

We had a great stay! Very large house easily fit our whole group. Great location and close to all restaurants and bars downtown. Definitely recommend!

Perfect for our group of five and pup! Great location and very clean!

The house was great and just what we needed our quick birthday weekend celebration. This house is an easy drive from Boston, allowing friends to do a day trip. They met us at the house for a visit before we did an escape room and dinner in downtown Portsmouth. Due to the weather we opted to drive and park, but this would have been an easy walk.While we didn’t utilize the upstairs bedrooms they were nice. One thing to note the stairs were narrow and steep and our dog didn’t like to navigate them.This house has the characteristics of an older house, making it feel very cozy. They have made some nice updates that it feel modern.We plan to keep this house in mind for future family getaways.

My husband and I flew from California to join our daughter, son in law and granddaughter for Christmas. This property is an old New England house updated for modern use. It’s located on a lake (pond?) which is more likely useful during summer months. It was very cold for us so we didn’t walk in to downtime Portsmouth but that was not a fault of the property. We had a wonderful stay and the owners were terrific.

Wonderful property that was spacious, clean, had tons of amenities and in a fantastic location for easy walking to downtown with a short drive to groceries and other shopping. Loved it and hope to stay longer on our next visit to the area.

Cozy, 3-story, pet-friendly, and clean. Walkable to town and quiet area on tidal pond. Great furnishings and amenities as described. Ample parking for two. Steps to second and third floors are steep and narrow as expected for a home this age.

We stayed here for our annual girl’s weekend getaway. The house is absolutely adorable and there was plenty of room for the five of us. Everything we could have possibly needed was present and the short walk into downtown Portsmouth was super quick! The few times we needed to communicate with the owner she responded quickly and was able to resolve our questions. We had a great weekend!

Our second year staying here for Thanksgiving week. We love this place and the location. Michelle is a fabulous host!

Michelle's property was absolutely perfect for our family and weekend plans. It was walking distance to so many amazing restaurants and shops. The house itself was filled with sunlight and warmth. The furniture was extremely comfortable as well. Michelle was quick to respond to any inquiry we made, and she made some nice recommendations of places to go. Thank you, Michelle.

This house was perfect for a group trip with multiple king beds and twins as well. The house was very clean and check in and check out instructions were clear and easy. Definitely would recommend.

We had a great weekend in Portsmouth. The property is in a great location- short walk to downtown Portsmouth, yet tucked away on a quiet side street. The property listing was accurate and we enjoyed the character of the old house.

Nice house with character. Great location

Excellent location, house was spotless and Michelle is the perfect host.

We enjoyed our stay in this historic 1800s home. It is situated in a small neighborhood within walking distance to great shopping and excellent restaurants. Our dogs loved it, and our Shih Tzu teeny made many new friends that walked daily down to the dog park. The only thing we would caution you is that the parking is very expensive and if you don’t mind the walk you will save yourself a lot of money.

We were in Portsmouth for my son’s wedding and this was a wonderful place to stay! There was plenty of room for everyone, it was clean, had an abundance of good quality, thick towels, great location very close to downtown, and we enjoyed the nice patio in back of house.

The 4 of us (2 older couples) love staying here—within walking distance to downtown, close to Maine and there are lobsters and clams! What a great vacation (although both our families were impacted by Hurricane Helene in Florida, so we were stressed). Thank you for hosting us—we hope to return next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at this well appointed home. My husband and I stayed with our son and his wife and our daughter. We were in town for a family wedding at Wentworth by the Sea. This home is very well equipped We highly recommend! Thank you, Michelle! Maureen Bergen County, New Jersey

Lovely, comfortable place to stay with easy access to town.

We stayed at this property for a wedding weekend and it was perfect. Plenty of parking, lots of space, a well-equipped kitchen and super comfy beds. My two teenagers had their own spaces and we were a five minute drive to downtown Portsmouth. Communication with the host was perfect. I highly recommend this property. Thank you.

Outstanding visit to Portsmouth and this charming property -- again. We are repeat customers and just love it!

We had such a great stay at Michelle’s property. We had 4 adults and 2 young children and had plenty of space with 2 1/2 bathrooms, large living room, and multiple outdoor spaces. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed and more. Quiet street/neighborhood right by a tidal river, and a less than 10-minute walk to downtown Portsmouth that has wonderful stores, bars and restaurants. We also enjoyed a fun harbor cruise that was just a 15-minute walk from the house. A local neighbor recommended New Castle beach which was less than a 15-minute drive, and it was perfect for the kids with no crowds, a playground, tide pools and bathroom. We went there every day! Michelle was incredibly responsive and made sure our stay was was perfect. As noted in other reviews, the steps to upstairs floors are steep, but our nearly 3- and 5-year olds managed just fine. We hope to come back!

Our stay was everything we expected and more. The property is a nicely updated and well maintained older home with exceptional character. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful kitchen, back patio, and front porch. The grill is a nice feature, and the kitchen is very well appointed with everything you will need if you decide to cook and eat in. This great Portsmouth house has everything needed for a wonderful stay that is within walking distance of all the Downtown Portsmouth area has to offer. The manager is available and responds quickly to questions and any needs you may encounter. We will definitely be returning the next time Portsmouth is on our vacation list!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Although the home is an older home, it has been updated in the necessary areas and was veryclean and organized. The location was terrific. You can walk downtown to restaurants and shops in less than 10 minutes. Michelle, the owner i believe was great, very communicative. We would definitely stay again, and probably will. We had a terrific stay. Thank you Michelle! Shaun and Family. location
