Several marathons occur in Hampton and neighboring towns during different times of the year that bring a great new vibe to the area. The long stretch of immense beach and fine sand is always there to enjoy year round. June-September are the summer months when most people swim in the ocean. In recent years people have swam as early as May, and as late of October or even November ( water is just cool enough for those strong young ones). Surf enthusiasts enjoy visiting Cinnamon Rainbows, which also offers winter outfits besides surf gear. Let your vacation begin, and relax, and bring back with you memories of a lifetime.

We loved this place! The beach was very close to the house. The grill was a definite bonus as well as the beach items. Thank you for a wonderful family experience.
House is very clean and very nicely decorated. We had four adults and a dog and there was plenty of room. Nicely located as it’s a a short walk to the beach but also away from main road. The host was easy to communicate with and check-in was simple. Highly recommend this property.

We had an amazing week at Hampton Beach thanks to Ediola! We have stayed at many VRBOs over the years and have certain things we always bring "just in case" - they were all unnecessary here! Ample TP and paper towels, trash bags, hand soap and shower stuff. Even night lights in the hallway and bathrooms! Very quick and easy walk to the beach and boardwalk, with chairs, towels, a cooler and boogie boards provided! We cooked a few dinners in the kitchen, used the grill (gas included!), and there was ample dinnerware/stemware for 6 of us. The ONLY thing we would mention is there are no curtains in the 2 bunk rooms so our teenagers were less than pleased with the amount of sunshine coming through the blinds. Overall we had a great time, the house was perfect for us and we hope to visit again someday!

Thank you Laura for the stellar review! Looking forward to your next visit and I will be offering personal eye masks for those like your teenagers and mine who prefer deep darkness for sleeping in late.
We had a wonderful, easy stay! Communication was excellent, description of the property was accurate, and the host even came and refilled the propane for us.
The house is amazing and is exactly as depicted in photos and description. It was clean, comfortable and a great location. My family had a great time and will hopefully return.

This is a lovely house in a good location. The neighborhood is quiet but close to the beach, restaurants and shops. It conveniently came with beach gear, two large bathrooms and a large capacity washer and dryer.

Dear Lindsay, I am glad you chose my property and found it to meet your expectations, and were able to enjoy it! The area is certainly a favorite for guests with proximity to water and baked walk, yet private for a quiet time.
Hope to welcome you back again!
Ediola
This is a great property a three minute walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The host supplies beach toys and whatnot, but we came during autumn for fall colors and atmosphere and the area did not disappoint. The host, Ediola, was wonderful with communication.Try the Flamingos Coffee Bar while you’re there. The coffee was great and sandwiches were fantastic!

Celebrated my daughter’s sweet sixteen at the beach. This place was clean, comfortable and close to the beach. The owner was always available for any questions. Highly recommend!! Would stay at again with my family.
Everything was fantastic. It was exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway and the perfect distance to the start line of our favorite half marathon. With unseasonably warm weather, we were excited to see the beach supplies (towels and chairs) available for use ! Everything worked out great!

Dear Nicole,
Thank you for your positive review! I am happy everything worked out with the weather and you were able to enjoy not just the house and the race but the beach as well.
I hope you come back for more marathons :)
Ediola
This house was perfect for our family! The kitchen had everything you could need, and we really appreciated the plethora of towels! The location is great, super close to everything but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Our host was kind and quick to respond. Definitely our favorite Hampton stay yet!

Thank you Cija! It was a pleasure hosting you and you’re always welcome back. Take care!
We just had amazing week at Ediola seaside home. The house was immaculate and fit all our needs - the bedrooms were comfortable and having the 2 couches was great for our family of 6. Proximity to the beach and boardwalk was perfect distance. Parking was also great and easy. Seamless check in. Kitchen had all we needed as well.

Thank you, Sarah! I am very happy you enjoyed your stay and I hope you get the chance to visit again.
This was the perfect sized beach house in the perfect location. The house itself was at the end of a little lane that empties onto Ocean Blvd, next to the beach. The house is very comfortable and has everything you might need for a beach visit. King Size master bed was super comfortable and the boys loved their bunk beds. Doggo was happy to be included in the vacation, and the house is also right next to the entrance to a large grassy area where doggo fetched and went to the bathroom. Very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

Ediola
Ediola’s Seaside Retreat beach house was the ideal for our 3 generational family vacation. The house: immaculate! The location: 5 min pleasant walk to beach and central to many cafés, activities, 20 minutes to Newburyport and Portsmouth. Our host Ediola was professional throughout the entire process and made themself available to help us via phone. Seaside Retreat felt like ‘our home’ the minute we stepped in. One feature that stood out was how quiet the house is. We enjoyed adventures by day and slept well throughout the night.Would love to return for another vacation.

Karen, thank you for your highly rated review! So happy you had a great stay.
I would love to have you back next summer or any time! Thank you for being wonderful guests! We’ll keep in touch.
Our family of 6 stayed here for just two nights, and we all wished we could stay longer. The bedroom set-ups fit our family group perfectly, the whole house was sparkling clean, and the kitchen appliances and cookware were all really nice. Ediola even provided coffee and some seasonal welcome cookies. She also made a special delivery of more coffee to suit our preferences the following day as well as hot cocoa mix. The location is perfect, and the end of a small lane, truly just a 3 minute walk to the beach. We watched the sun set from the dining room because it's a clear view to the west. We definitely hope to come back to this spot.

Dear Mary and family,
It was my pleasure hosting you this weekend and I hope you will return, next time for a longer stay. Thank you for treating my house like yours.
We were in Hampton for a wedding and booked this house for one night.
The house met and exceeded our expectations and we requested another night. Thankfully it is the slow season and the host was very accommodating so we made it a mini vacation before heading back to Vermont. The property was immaculate, clean and fully equipped with all we needed. Comfortable and clean beds and linens. The location was unbeatable - last house on a quiet street, a short stroll to the beach, shops, and a few restaurants that remained open for the low season. We loved the early stroll along the shore, which was very quiet at this time of year. Ediola was very responsive and has a list of excellent recommendations for dining places in town. We highly recommend this place.

About the host
Hosted by Ediola Shklyar
I am from Albania; as such I treat my guests like royalty. I enjoy traveling with my kids, cooking, and learning new languages, I speak a few. I have an ever learning outlook on life. Being a host combines my natural traits of Mediterranean and Eastern European hospitality with my passions.
Why they chose this property
My Hampton home is the epitome of my passions for enjoyable travels, cooking, and the beach/ocean. The lovely street it sits on has the most serene beach vibes that make one feel safe and rested. As you walk down the street to the beach, you’ll notice neighboring homes, small or large that complement the beach vibes.
What makes this property unique
The last on the dead end street, the house offers a configuration that enables guests to enjoy solitude and sunset views. Facing west and on the deck you’ll feel the breeze from the ocean, and enjoy sunset views of the marshes in the horizon, as the house is the last on the dead end facing west. Views of the beautiful church across the street, and sunsets are also visible from the dining area and the kitchen.
