10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 5 and two small dogs had an excellent stay. The short walk to the beach was a plus and we even brought the pups two nights after 5pm. They used the fenced yard daily without issue. Loved the screened in porch. We also enjoyed a quick trip to a local berry farm and Portsmouth for our last dinner (The Thirsty Moose). The washer dryer on site was greatly appreciated and used. We would definitely recommend."

Amazing harbor/ocean views of Pepperrell Cove

10/10 Excellent

"This house is even better than the pictures! Gorgeous, comfortable home with all the details covered for your stay. It was perfect for my family of 4 (sons ages 15 & 18). They had the entire 2nd floor to themselves which was perfect. We frequently visited the Pepperell Cove restaurants and provisions store as well. Great location with proximity to Portsmouth and Kittery outlets."
