What a wonderful spot! The house is beautifully decorated, the bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Christina was a pleasure to deal with and even left us a thoughtful welcome gift. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home!

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is adorable, beautifully renovated, and right on the water in Portsmouth. It honestly looks like something straight out of Better Homes & Gardens. Every detail was thoughtfully done, and the house was just as beautiful in person as it appeared in the photos.The owner was incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. There is also so much room for a family to spread out. In addition to the main living area, the lower walkout level is essentially a separate unit and opens directly to an amazing outdoor kitchen with a grill and pizza oven, along with the dock and waterfront.We would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area. It is beautiful, comfortable, spacious, and in such a special setting with phenomenal amenities. We would absolutely stay here again!

Our stay at this beautiful cove front home was excellent. The home was immaculate. The host was great in terms of communication. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night anniversary stay. There was even champagne and a sweet treat to enjoy when we arrived! Excellent mini vacation!!!! Host and home experience top notch.

Donna and her husband booked a long weekend for their Anniversary. They were outstanding guests. They left the property in immaculate condition- meticulously clean and exactly as it was provided to them. Communication was smooth and respectful throughout and they were a pleasure to host. I would highly recommend them to any future host and would gladly welcome them back anytime.

Absolutely beautiful property and hands down one of the most thoughtful, welcoming hosts we’ve ever had!The home was spotless, the decor was STUNNING, and there were so many little touches that made our stay special. Our host left muffins for the family and snacks for the kids, and the house had amenities we weren’t even expecting, including kayaks and a stand-up paddleboard. She even had the outdoor pizza oven pre-loaded with wood and ready to go, which made it so easy that we actually used it and loved it! (And my husband was particularly thrilled with the bidet toilets!)What impressed me most, though, was how thoughtful our host was from the very beginning. We booked a nonrefundable rate somewhat last minute, and when she noticed we were traveling with kids, she immediately reached out to make sure we understood that the second bedroom had a separate entrance and that we were comfortable with the setup. I really appreciated her proactively making sure the property would work well for our family.She also provided a fantastic book filled with recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and things to do. She even texted us after we arrived to suggest an activity she thought our kids would enjoy and encouraged us to book quickly because it tends to sell out. She was absolutely right on both counts! We booked it, loved it, and it sold out shortly afterward.The house itself is gorgeous, incredibly clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, but it was the hospitality a

Great location great house

Christinas house has everything you need for time away. A kitchen that has every appliance you need, a great upstairs suite with an even better view and the location is amazing. Minutes from restaurants and a 10 minute kayak for breakfast. We'd go back in a minute

FANTASTIC GETAWAY

Photos were enough to impress BUT they don't truly do this property justice. Everything is top notch! We opened the door to an impeccably clean and well appointed home. The view is fantastic! Flowers, candy and fresh baked goods on the island. Highly recommrecommend

An absolutely idyllic setting on Blue Bill Cove. Incredible views from each floor - tranquility continues through the house with the beautiful color scheme and every amenity you could possibly imagine. Christina is fantastic- she went out of her way to welcome us and make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!!!

Perfect Waterfront Getaway!

We had an amazing stay at this picturesque waterfront retreat in Portsmouth, RI. The outdoor kitchen with pizza oven was a standout feature, allowing us to savor delicious meals while enjoying the breathtaking views of the water. The serene surroundings and gentle sea breeze made for a truly relaxing experience. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with stunning views and the convenience of an outdoor kitchen, this is the place to be! Highly recommended!

Great Location

We really enjoyed the location of this home and the easy proximity to various areas to visit.However, there were a few things that would have made the overall experience better. First, there were definitely things that should have been cleaner than what they were (sticky areas on countertop, hairs in sink, rice on floor, pile of old coffee grounds on machine, cobwebs in the corner of the couch, and dirty chair armrests, etc..). These were obvious and should have been addressed prior to check in. Second, apparently if you want to watch tv, you need a streaming service of your own. We have never run into this before, so if it's a big deal to be able to watch tv, that would have been something good to know.Third, the lower level is not accessible in any way from the upper part of the home. It is completely separate. We ended up not even using that space, since there was an overwhelming freshener scent that bothered my allergies. Fourth, only one parking space seems to be available to park. There were 2 other cars parked for the duration of our stay, but that is not mentioned in the description.Small touches like hooks to hang your bath towels, a hook for your hand towel, etc. would have been easy additions to make the stay nicer.Was concerned about communication, since we didn't receive any prior to us reaching out first and the response was a day before check in, but we did have a question during our stay and the response was immediate; which we appreciated!
