About this property

Starboard Cove Waterfront *Stunning Sunsets*!

Quintessential Maine home featured as cover story in Accent Magazine (See Cover Photo). Very private situated on the Piscataqua River with access to the Atlantic Ocean. Dock and mooring provide use of kayaks, canoe, and excellent swimming. Lie in the hammock and enjoy stunning sunsets every afternoon. Home is located about five miles from Portsmouth, NH. Boats can go directly to the ocean and use of a mooring at the house is included. The river is tidal and makes for very good swimming (the water is generally 10 to 15 degrees warmer than at the ocean) with safe, gentle current anytime between half and full high tide. This part of the river is wide and wooded with few houses for a very private feel in completely natural surroundings. There is a tremendous amount of wildlife viewing directly from the house including bald eagle, red tail hawk, cormorant, fox, deer, wild turkey, and seal. Excellent fishing for Striped Sea Bass and Bluefish, directly in front of the house.

Home features 1 bedroom with Queen bed, den with fold out futon and bath on the first floor and 2 bedrooms with King size beds and bath on the second floor including a Master suite with French doors to balcony overlooking the water, master bath includes large spa tub. Kitchen/dining/family room with stone fireplace and French doors to deck and screened porch. Living room with grand piano and built in bookcases.

Gourmet Kitchen offers 6 burner Viking cook top, n GE Convection Oven, stainless refrigerator and walk in pantry. Property surrounded by gardens and many opportunities for quiet walks. Nearby Portsmouth and Portland offer tons of cultural events, restaurants and shopping.

The house was just as pictured and very clean. Well-equipped met all our needs! Communication with holly and caretaker excellent! Loved all the artwork throughout the house. Notice something every day. We had a very enjoyable time and enjoyed exploring the surrounding towns.

Special Place in the Woods
This house on Starboard Cove is a wonderful escape. The kitchen is fully appointed and spacious; there are several 'living rooms" to enjoy a good book - either one that you brought or one from the amazing selection on the house shelves. The outdoor space allows for great entertaining. A stay in this home is more like a visit to a friend's house - fully decorated and interesting. Communicating with Holly was easy and quick.

Beautiful and peaceful
We loved our stay at Starboard Cove. Communicating with Holly was easy and she was very accommodating. The house, location and view are beautiful. We spent so much time on the screen porch watching the ground hogs, deer, chipmunks and eagles. We had some rainy days so the finished basement with games and the billiard table was perfect. The house was well stocked. We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Home!
The house is beautiful and is quiet and secluded with fabulous views everywhere you look! Great place to sit and relax. We had 2 teenagers with us who had plenty of room to toss the football around and they loved the basement (they never turned the tv on). They even put down the phones and pulled out Monopoly on a couple of stormy nights (lots of games supplied). It is well stocked and there is a nice little grocery nearby with great people. You are about 20 minutes from Portsmouth and major roads for day trips. There were some issues with appliances and outlets, but the owners contacted us about repairing them. Our only disappointment was the fishing, good for kids to catch little ones, but for serious fishermen, dock not far enough out to cast into channel for blues and stripers.

About the host

Hosted by Holly

Host profile image
Dan is the author of “The Mexico Diaries” adventures on an off grid ranch in a tiny village on the coast of Mexico. Holly was a former CFP (Certified Financial Planner). Both left corporate life early on to peruse their passions. In addition to the home in Maine they also have homes in Mexico that are occasionally for rent or for home exchanges on well known online platforms.
This is our family home, not an empty shell bought simply to rent out. You will find art from our travels around the world and custom features that can only be developed over decades of living in and appreciating a space.

Why they chose this property

We honestly feel this is the most beautiful and best location to live in the US. The peace and serenity living on the water this close to major cities is hard to find. We travel alot so being an hour from Boston's International Airport is great. We have the benefit of being on the water, minutes from the Atlantic ocean and less than an hour to skiing or hiking in the mountains.

What makes this property unique

It is very important to both of us that we are in touch with nature every day. Living in this home does that for us. The many large windows that open to decks and balconeys bring the outdoors in. We also have a large screened porch where we literally live in the summer months. We take all of our meals there and sometimes sleep there. Wildlife is abundant in the area keeping every day exciting.
