Once I got in touch with Sabrina she was super friendly and accommodating. Staying on the boat was such a fun experience and my girlfriend and I jumped off of it and swam, took the kayak for a spin, and grilled dinner and drank wine while watching the sunset. Nearby Portsmouth and Kittery have lots of great restaurants and shops when you want to come ashore and all in all it was a great relaxing weekend with a unique twist. I did experience some sea sickness when we first got on the boat, and I felt a little vertigo when I was back on land, but that comes with the territory. Finally, there really is no adequate shower on the boat so we just soaped up and washed off with bottled water and lived a little wild for the two days. All in all it was a great weekend away with a fun twist and I would definitely stay here again.

We were very well received by Sabrina and her nice family. Staying on their boat for two days was such a great experience for us. Everything matched with the description. Airbnb lets make wonderful discoveries and meet good people!

Staying out in the harbor was a wonderful experience. Sabrina was a great host and always available for questions. She did a perfect job orienting us to the boat. It was our first overnight on the water and it was a great introduction to the ins-and-outs of life on a sailboat. Rowing out to the boat was such a fun adventure. It would be a perfect romantic getaway but my family also enjoyed the stay. I would definitely recommend these accommodations to anyone who is curious about monohulls and cruising in general.

We had a wonderful stay at Sabrina's place. Kittery Point is a hidden gem in Maine, and this sailboat is a slice of the good life. It was spacious, private and quiet. We had a blast paddling and eating lobsters and soaking up the sun. Toralf showed us the ropes and left us handy cheat sheets, so living on the boat was easy and relaxing. Loved it!

We enjoyed our stay on Sabrina's tidy sailboat, the perfect spot from which to view the Perseid meteor shower and the tall ships sailing into Portsmouth, for exploring the beautiful beaches and town of Kittery, and for being rocked to sleep by the waves. It was a fine adventure for the kids, and Sabrina was a welcoming, responsive host.

Sabrina was great, she walked us through everything we needed to know and was very accessible. The boat was amazing! My wife and I loved it, it would be a great romantic experience. We had our 3 younger kids with us and they absolutely had a blast. Rowing/paddling to Chauncey Creek Lobster was wonderful and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

My wife and I had a great time. This is not your average accommodation and that is what we enjoyed about it. Sabrina was very responsive and we got a full tour of the boat so we were comfortable being alone on the boat. If you are looking to get some sea legs and try something out of the ordinary then this is the boat for you. having a paddle board and a kayak on the boat is great fun as well. Portsmouth is 10 minutes away and has tons of restaurants and shops to keep you busy all day.

From check-in to check-out the transaction was seamless. The house is an absolutely gorgeous gem right on the water - watch the sunrise from your bed! Just a quick cab ride from the house to downtown Portsmouth it's the perfect location, secluded yet close to everything. Just one note for anyone looking to rent this home: it's so beautiful and special, very well decorated and lovely, but it's also super upscale. The appliances were tricky but we got the hang of it after reading the users manuals (!). I would not recommend this to someone looking for a place to be carefree and to party - I would hate for anything to be ruined or broken. It's clear they've put so much work and love into it! Will definitely rent this home again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Gerri's beautiful home! Immaculate, perfect location.. we already miss sipping our morning coffee on the sun porch! Gerri was very gracious and easy to get a hold of, the whole process was a cinch. All we had to do was show up and relax! And that we did:) Many thanks, Gerri!

Had a great stay. Gerri responded quickly and checked up on us via email to make sure we had everything we needed. The house had everything you could possibly need. It was quiet, comfortable, meticulously clean, and close to sightseeing & restaurants. There was a binder full of maps, menus and activities that was a great help. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back.

The reservation was canceled 35 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Gerri's place was two thumbs up! A lovely house on a nice quiet street, and as described and pictured on Airbnb. A great location that was a short drive from many beaches, state parks & forts, sightseeing, and shopping. We would love to return again.

Gerri's home is immaculate, well appointed and I felt totally comfortable. The front porch was a special treat for relaxing over a cup of tea or lunch on sunny days. Convenient to the shore and Portsmouth. Gerri was very pleasant all the way, and checked in by text after I arrived to be sure had everything I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful home away from home. It was a very clean and well maintained place. Our host Gerri was a pleasure to correspond with. The house is located on a quiet side street. There is a fantastic enclosed porch, where you can sit down and enjoy a good book. The beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay in this wonderful place again and would encourage others to stay as well.

Everything we hoped for and more! It's a beautiful little house in a quiet neighborhood with everything you need. It immediately felt like home and you can tell someone loves this house and takes very good care of it. We loved watching the sunrise over the river from the front porch in the morning with our morning coffee. The kitchen was well stocked and access to the BBQ grill was nice too. Looking forward to staying here again sometime soon!

We did not have the pleasure of meeting our host but we were greeted by her friendly caretaker. Gerri's cottage is exactly as described with the one exception that she fails to mention the fabulous sunrise view over the creek from the living room and dining room. The neighborhood is very quiet and for walkers a great location to have incredible scenery for walking either to Kittery Foreside, Portsmouth or Fort McClary.

Morgan's house was lovely if you're looking for a quiet low-key stay. There's no TV in the living room but there's plenty of natural light, which makes it perfect for reading and relaxing. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, it's perfect!

Quiet and comfortable home with plenty of privacy and great soft towels!

Charming house close to the kittery stores and downtown Portsmouth. Very comfortable and accommodating house. I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Morgan's place was perfect for what it was: a quiet home for a good price!

Morgan's home was lovely, and we did not go without any amenities. Highly recommended for a quite spot close to Portsmouth.

Beautiful house and a very quick responding host! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a lovely home to stay in

Just a few minutes along a lovely drive to downtown Kittery and Portsmouth. It's a basic suburban house with all the expected features, clean and warm.

Morgan's house was adorable! Very convenient location to everything we needed to do in Portsmouth and Kittery. Morgan was very friendly the couple of times I talked to her. We felt instantly at home. We will definitely stay there again next year when we're back in town.

My husband, adult son and I stayed at Johanna's house over Christmas, as we have family in the area. The house was perfect for us. It was clean, very comfortable, and very safe. We cooked several meals there and felt right at home. My husband and son used one sitting room for their work while I settled in to read in the other sitting room. We would love to come back in the summer as it is near beaches and beautiful places to walk. Johanna was a perfect host and even showed us around the house several weeks before our rental date when we were in the area. Thanks, Johanna!

I have three 20-somethings and a husband and this was the perfect home base for our weekend. I wanted a home that allowed each boy to have his own bed, two full bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a room that would fit us all (they're all 6'1"+) comfortably to watch a little tv. This house is well-appointed. Hooks in all the right places, lots of surface area to hold our stuff, fairly spacious rooms, lots of towels and fabulous natural light. I found everything I needed - including scissors and scotch tape. We arrived well after dark and Joanna left the lights on, Half & Half in the fridge, delicious cookies from the local bakery and several vases of fresh flowers. She is a very kind and gracious host. She is also very responsive. It is clearly stated in the listing - if you look at the details - there is no dryer. A washer, yes, and a drying rack, as well as hangers, an iron and ironing board. It was a great place to spend the weekend.

This is a lovely, comfortable, well appointed home. We had such a wonderful time there and were delighted to find the space clean, organized and very welcoming. It was easy to make ourselves at home, even with young children in tow. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and even pantry staples (flour, sugar, tea, coffee...), the bathrooms were replete with toiletries (very nice shampoos, conditioners, lotions, soaps, and even brand new toothbrushes and toothpaste in case you forgot yours). The location was lovely- quiet, with a slight ocean view, walking distance to parks and woods and just a quick drive to Portsmouth. We hope to return- it was a perfect stay.

If you are looking for an extremely comfortable place to stay that is clean, family friendly, and has everything you could possibly need, then this is the place for you. The host, Johanna is amazing in every way and provided us with very friendly and prompt communications. A++

Our stay was wonderful at the Cape! The house had everything that we needed, we were able to make breakfast, enjoy the outdoors in the backyard with our dogs, and have easy access to Portsmouth in Kittery. Check in was a breeze and the house was clean and and comfortable. Loved everything about our stay.

Host meet us shortly after we arrived and left an information book for us. We had wifi, cable, etc. host also left contact number for us.

This was our second time staying at Johanna's cape house and we absolutely loved it! Convenient location, super private and comfortable. The house has an awesome back yard that our dogs love, and the kitchen is fully stocked - we even had a little dinner party with friends. Can't say enough great things, we will definitely be back!

Exactly as advertised. Super clean, lots of room to spread out! Big Living room, well stocked kitchen! Great access to everything, the dog loved the beach (off season), great walks to the Fort with Ocean view, and of course a trip to the Tributary Brewery!

My family had a wonderful stay at Caroline's cottage home. It's as beautiful in person as portrayed in the pictures. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathrooms were stocked with towels. We walked the neighborhood and along the seaside several times as the views were amazing. The neighbors were friendly and offered suggestions on nearby sights to see. There is a cute market/cafe a block over that offers coffee, smoothies, breakfast and lunch sandwiches and snacks. He had a great time during our stay and wouldn't hesitant to book Caroline's home again.

Our little family loved staying in this house. The location is stunning. Though there is no view from the house, you are seconds away from beautiful scenery and lovely little streets leading to the water. A highlight was kayaking around the island at sunset and drinking coffee st the Wentworth marina. The common beach is minutes away and perfect quiet spot for all ages. The town of Portsmouth nearby is also so much fun with restaurants, history and shops.

Host was very prompt in replying to the usual queries regarding trash collection, directions etc., and very friendly. The house is immaculate, comfortable, and very nicely decorated in what might be called a seaside cottage style. The location in the adorable village of New Castle is worth the trip alone. Very close to the water and lovely walks. We cooked in and the kitchen was more than adequate.

We had a beautiful stay at Caroline's cottage. It's nicely laid out, cutely designed and in a perfect location for a young family like us. It feels very cozy to stay there, very well maintained and very clean. We were there in spring, was very nice time of the year to be visiting New Castle. The hosts were welcoming, accommodating and made our stay very special. Thank you.

Clarissa is an exceptional host, and even though we didn't meet in person, she made us feel like at home !! Her house is meticulously clean, very comfortable, modern and very inviting!!! The bedrooms are gorgeous facing the water, there is a beautiful, modern bathroom. The entire house is really beautiful!

Just came home from a very relaxing weekend in New Castle and wishing it wasn't over yet. Clarissa was a wonderful host and her house is just lovely. Views of the water, lots of porch space to enjoy the outdoors, and located a quick drive from Portsmouth.

What a great find! The house and ground are so beautiful, modern and clean, and you have an entire upstairs suite to yourself with two bedrooms and beautiful bathroom. Loved the front porch, spent every evening out there looking out at the water and enjoying the sunset. Mosquitos very minimal! Although kitchen is shared, I had all the quiet and privacy I needed for a few days of relaxation. New Castle in general is lovely, everyone is friendly. A number of parks and beaches not far away, and a quick ride into Portsmouth. I will definitely be back.

This Airbnb is fantastic - a beautiful property in a fabulous location with a welcoming and gracious host. I cannot recommend this highly enough for people looking for a charming and peaceful retreat in an area with much to see and do.

House with great charm, very tastefully decorated and extremely clean. Our host was done so discreetly that we have not had much opportunity to interact with it but we really enjoyed his welcome. New Castle is a quiet and charming place and the area full of attractions (beaches, ...)

Beautiful location and Clarissa was a great host. While the house was shared we felt like we had a great deal of privacy. Saving this special spot for future visits up that way.

Enjoyed the 2 bedrooms and large bathroom in this beautifully renovated home in New Castle! Host was wonderful!

The magic of the New England coast was truly felt here. House was big enough for our extended family of 9. With a very busy agenda, there weren't many chances to relax, but the time spent on the grounds and exploring close by were most enjoyable. We did not want for anything and would love to return when we have more time on our hands!

A friend and I rented the studio for a wedding weekend. The studio is surrounded by the outdoors creating a comfortable and relaxing venue, yet is still a close drive to downtown Portsmouth where there is plenty of excitement. Inside you'll find yourself climbing up the ladder to the loft to find a cozy place to relax and get some sleep. While down in the sitting area you'll find a comfortable pull out sofa bed which was all that we needed. Drika was extremely nice and helpful. Would definitely rent again.

Cool place. Beautiful backyard.

I enjoyed meeting my host Drika, getting kayak suggestions and directions as well as discovering we had a mutual friend. The tastefully decorated simple, clean, neat and new little cottage had a very comfortable bed in the loft. I found the short trail behind lead to another quiet hut and to a marshy inlet perfect for morning exercises, writing or bird watching. The bnb is close to many kayak adventures, the beach, the Rachel Carson Wildlife trails, shops, restaurants, It is a half hour from a fine whale watch out of Rye, NH. The cottage is very close to the owners home so it you are looking for privacy, this spot is more communal. I, however, was happy to come and go. I would come back alone or with a very close friend.

Adorable little space to spend a nice weekend away. Enjoyed the ease of access to Kittery Foreside, and the adventure of the ladder to the bed!

What a lovely space in a fun place! The studio is charming - a tidy, cozy tiny house with everything we could want in comfort, quiet, woodsy locale, great running/biking routes, and proximity to historical sites, Kittery Foreside, York, and Portsmouth. Drika and Ed left maps and brochures and had great recommendations. We had a great time there.

Drika and her husband Ed were lovely hosts. The little studio was beautiful, and centrally located to everything in Kittery and nearby Portsmouth. Drika was very helpful with suggestions on what to see and do in the area, and seems to know all of Kittery's best hide outs. While we stayed here to see Portsmouth, Kittery Foreside itself was a great hidden and unexpected gem filled with fabulous food, drinks, coffee and nearby history. Definitely recommend!

The studio and property are absolutely lovely! Drika and Ed are wonderful hosts -- kind, welcoming, and easy-going. The surrounding area is great: just a few minutes' drive or a 15-minute walk from Kittery Foreside. Portsmouth and beaches are within easy reach, too.

Wonderful experience in a magical setting.

Please excuse the delay in this review, and know that it is every bit as honest as other timely ones. Barbara, our hostess, was extremely welcoming and her profile photo's huge smile, shines even more in person. She graciously showed us around her lovely home, had the fireplace ready to light, fresh flowers throughout her amazing haven, and even took the time to suggest some local hotspots to us. The property itself is pristine & naturally beautiful, and would be a perfect getaway in any season. It is very comfortable, and perfectly located. It would be lovely to return someday! Thanks again Barbara!

This was a beautiful house a bit off the beaten path. The views were gorgeous and Barbara was helpful in suggesting activities to do. She has a strict no guest policy and keeps her house very neat.

Everything was just as we expected and more. A beautiful home in a splendid setting with a warm and welcoming host -- we simply couldn't have asked for more. Although our stay was short, our memories of our great weekend in this home will stay with us forever. We are all so grateful to have had the privilege of staying here and can't extend enough thanks to our host for making that possible!

Two couples shared this lovely and spacious home. We never tripped over one another! We especially enjoyed direct access to the beach both for swimming, kayaking and long walks during low tide. We ate outside on the deck at night and were enchanted by the glorious sunsets. I am reluctant to recommend this house too highly as we want to be able to come back next year!!!

The listing details were completely accurate and we had a wonderful welcome with lights on and towels in the rooms. Everything about the house was just as we had anticipated and better; clean, spacious, beautiful views, and beautiful places to walk and eat. We will definitely be back.

The house is beautifully decorated and spacious. The views from the inside are only surpassed by the tranquility of the backyard where we enjoyed watching the sun set over the river. Barbara, our host, was extremely responsive and helpful during the booking and helped us with a few "settling in" questions after we arrived. We found the location to be very quiet; just what we needed for our short getaway. There are kayaks available but the weather was a bit too chilly to use them, go figure... in the middle of August! But, as Barbara suggested, we found the walk along the water was a great alternative. We recommend this place for anyone looking for a spacious retreat with lots to do.

Deidre did a good job to feel us welcome. She was helpfull to give us suggetions things to visit. The room was pleasant. At night we stayed on the porch. We liked that very much. The bathroom was small but clean! I didnt like to go downstairs at night, to go to the bathroom. We liked the little chats we've had. It' s so inspiring to talk about things and see Each others way of living.

Deirdre is an amazing host! We really enjoyed our stay at her beautiful place and especially our morning coffee chats. If you're staying with Deirdre ask her for dinner and activity advice, she's got some real good ones. The location of her cottage is also very good, just a short drive into Portsmouth or the nearby shopping facilities. We will definetely come back if we're in the area

Very nice and comfortable accomodation. Clean, cosy and a very friendly and helpful host. Quiet area and not very far are good little shops and restaurants. We got coffee and a small breakfast in the morning. Deirdre is a lovely host. On the last day we had good weather and we sat on this beautiful porch, cuddling Winston the cat. It was just perfect.

Deirdre was awesome. She was very helpful and kind. I think I've made a new friend! I highly recommend her Charming Cottage!

We Had a lovely stay at Deidre's! Our host was welcoming, sweet and very helpful recommending places where to eat and visit. Her home is clean, and oh so charming ... and Winston the cat such a beauty! All in all a wonderful stay at Casa Deidre!!!

This was my second time at Deirdre's place. I highly recommend it. Really enjoyed my stay, very clean comfortable room with everything you can imagine to want. Deirdre is very friendly, helpful, kind, and interesting to talk too. The town of Kittery is a real plus. Loved Lil's coffee shop and bakery. Really nice, unique, local delious restaurants that are reasonably priced. It is an experience you won't forget.

Deirdre was awesome. Great host. New friend. Highly recommend her place!

Deirdre was a fantastic hostess. She is very hospitable and offers great suggestions about spots in the area. Her cottage afforded me the perfect lodging arrangement so I could attend a seminar.
