About this property

The Perfect Location to relax and explore all that the Seacoast has to offer!

The pictures show it all! Buoy House is centrally located and perfect for both short and longer stays. Wifi and comfortable spaces provide an easy escape from it all and make it a great option to relax by the seacoast.

The main floor offers a large living room with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, TV (Roku provided) and plenty of cozy seating. The full kitchen and dining area is perfect for all of your cooking needs. Dishwasher, microwave, pots/pans, oven, induction stove...it has it all. The dining table can seat six people with an additional three spots available at the breakfast bar. A Keurig is provided for morning coffees.

Off of the kitchen is a hall that leads to the eating deck with Weber grill. A full bath is also off the small hallway, directly across from one of the two entrances to the library, which houses a bar area and full-size sofa bed.

Upstairs guests will enjoy a quiet sitting area on the landing and two bonus sleep spaces: A reading loft and sleeping nook near primary, and perfect for children. Portable crib and toddler mattress available upon request. Additionally, the primary bedroom and full bath (with large, tiled shower) are on this upper level, with high-end king-sized mattress. Washer, dryer and linen area are off of the primary bedroom, making the upstairs its own full-service suite.

The ground floor has the privacy of its own separate living and sleeping area. This space is perfect for an additional family or teens who want their own space and private entrance.

We had a fantastic weekend getaway. This is a great house, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Close to everything, we joked that the house should be renamed the 9-minute house. It seems every time we went out to shop or eat and punched in the destination to GPS, every place was 9 minutes away! Great location, and super communication with the homeowner and caretaker. We would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Our house combines the R&R needed to escape from the busyness of life with the perfect location in charming Eliot, Maine. Guests can easily get in and out of lively Portsmouth, explore the quaint downtown of Kittery or hop on 95 and take a quick drive to other beach communities along the NH and Maine coastlines. Pour a coffee and walk across the street to the Eliot Boat Basin and sit on the sands along the Piscataqua River.

Inside the home, guests will be wowed by the luxurious and coastal-inspired furnishings, as well as the wonderful use of space. Families with young children will be happy to have a portable crib and sleep rails available. Two full bathrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen and sweet side patio all add to the appeal of this seacoast retreat.

What makes this property unique

Bonus sleep spaces, little touches of luxury and the quiet charm of Eliot, Maine, all make the House at 1010 a very special getaway for individuals, couples or families.
