Family of 5 came here to explore areas for retirement for husband and I. It was a perfect place with an easy walk to downtown! The town is charming and gluten free friendly! We loved they it was dog friendly! We also took a trip up to a few places in Maine since it was so close and that was fun too! We ate at the River House and took the boat cruise that was fun! Sean was quick to respond and pleasant! The place was perfect for us!

Our stay in Portsmouth was wonderful. Sean's house was warm and very comfortable with the perfect location. We had beautiful weather and it was an easy walk to everything in Portsmouth, a town we all fell in love with. There were many great restaurants, coffee and pastry stores, gift shops, and beautiful areas to walk. The beds are very comfortable - we all slept well! Sean quickly answered any questions we had. We traveled with our two pups so it was a nice surprise to see dog bowls, a dog bed, and a small fenced in yard. We will definitely come back!

We had a great stay at Sean’s. I was traveling with a toddler so really appreciate how quick it was to park and check in. The house was clean but maintained lots of original character. Location was nice, beds comfortable, lots of towels and kitchen gadgets. Accurate description, friendly and responsive host.

My family had a nice visit to Portsmouth. This home was in a perfect location for an easy walk into town or a quick drive to the local beach. Pet friendly yard and lots of space for a family of 5. Easy access to get into the home and always had a parking spot right in front of the house. 5 stars!
