Winter Island Retreat
Our stay at Dave's place on Winter Island was spectacular! The photos do not do justice for the views. The yard is beautiful and well-kept, and my favorite part was sitting on the porch with my coffee each morning. Inside is cozy, but perfect for two guests. Dave has all you'll need in the kitchen and bathroom, which was a bonus! We traveled from New Mexcio, and it was a long ways, but I would absolutely stay at Dave's place again if we come back to the area. You won't find a better accommodation, and at this price, just amazing. So grateful I was able to bring my daughter for such an incredible stay in Salem.

✨Charming Stay-Downtown Dover🍷FreeWine🍷Portsmouth
My stay here was fantastic! You truly cannot beat this location. It's perfectly situated with easy walking access to local shops, restaurants, and scenic spots. Parking is right outside, so exploring other nearby towns is a breeze, too. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Cape Arundel Cottage 1 mile to downtown KPT
Adorable, idyllic, comfortable, serene. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our Maine Minimoon! Some places have 5 stars and aren’t really legit — this is not one such place. Hillary’s place fully deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We look forward to staying again soon!!

Lakeside apartment, patio, hot tub, outside shower
Everything was absolutely exceptional! My parents stayed here for two weeks and had a wonderful experience. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive — they replied to our messages and requests immediately, which made everything so easy and stress-free. My parents left extremely happy and are already talking about coming back. Highly recommended!

Beekeeper's Cottage- Peaceful,Quiet - Ocean Front
Our stay at The Bee Keepers Cottage was amazing. The property met our needs perfectly and it was super cute and cozy. The host was very responsive and communicative. And for any star gazers out there, the sky on a clear night is mesmerizing.

*Ocean View* Charming beach house
We had a fantastic long weekend stay at this beautiful home with my daughters! The location is perfect, tucked in a quiet, welcoming neighborhood just a short walk to a lovely beach and close to the ocean. The house itself was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. One of our favorite parts was the deck, it was the perfect spot to unwind with a cocktail after a day at the beach. Lawrence was a great host, always quick to respond and helpful with any questions. If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable getaway near the NH coast, this place checks all the boxes. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Luxury on Rye Harbor w/ 360 Degree Views
The view is even better than the photo’s show! The place is peaceful and relaxing. Being able to have a short walk to the lobster pound was a bonus and it was delicious. Very nice grocery store near by that has prepared meals and amazing meats and seafood. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Scott had great recommendations and was always fast to respond. I would stay here again for sure!

Lakefront Home-Stunning Views-Hot Tub, 3100 sqft!

The setting was serene, with beautiful views of the water, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy quality time together. The home was well-equipped and comfortable, offering everything we needed for a memorable stay. Julie was a fantastic host, ensuring that our experience was seamless and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the peaceful ambiance and thoughtful touches throughout the space. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lakeside retreat!"

Fantastic place with amazing views. Super comfortable beds ! A beautiful peaceful getaway with a lot of great restaurants and beaches close by. Roberta was awesome and very quick to respond. No issues with any part of the stay ! Highly recommend !!

Blue Breeze - Private lakefront w/ Hot Tub
This beautiful lake front home was a great space for our group (8 adults, 1 infant, dog)! Plenty of space for everyone to gather, inside or outside. Lake amenities were such a plus! Carl and other co-hosts were so responsive leading up to our stay and during!

Luxury Lakefront Paradise w/ Private Beach
My family and I had a serene experience staying here. Although the weather was mostly rainy or cloudy, we loved the lake location and maximized the indoor, outdoor, and nearby activity options. The hosts were so responsive, regardless of the question, and made this a truly delightful visit. This was my parents’ first Airbnb experience and it set the bar higher than I could have imagined! My family and I are already talking about coming back!!

Bearskin Neck Rockport ★ Amazing Views ★ Parking
The place is beautiful and the view is even better. Christina checked in with us regularly and helped in any way she could. We will definitely be back for another weekend getaway!

On the Lake! King Studio, Private Porch, Kitchen
I really enjoyed staying at Christine’s place on the lake. The condo was clean and the view by the water was great. It was super easy to check in / out. Christine was always very responsive. I would definitely consider staying again.

Beachfront Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Monik’s condo. She was a very responsive host. The place was just as it looked in the pictures and was very clean. We loved being able to walk across the street to go the beach and we rode our bikes all over town. I would highly recommend staying here if traveling to Hampton.

Summer bliss in our oceanfront 2BR condo awaits!
Excellent condo, clean and felt like we were at home. I would stay here again in a minute. Highly recommended. Thank you Jose.

The Nest - The Heart of Bearskin Neck
Perfect location, steps from all the shops and restaurants. Beautiful views of the water. Lisa was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Would come back again!

Oceanfront, private balcony, panoramic view Ocean
Location was absolutely perfect! Directly across the street from the beach and walkable distance to Hampton Beach main strip. The studio set up was perfect for us and our 16 month old, however, I can imagine it being a bit small for a larger family. Definitely will be visiting this area again in the future! Wendy & Mark were great hosts - everything was clean and exactly as expected. Highly recommend.
