House holiday rentals in Portsmouth

Beautiful home within walking distance to everything you need, especially the beach and restaurants. Clean home with cozy feel. My son never wanted to leave the beautiful pool at the property. Would recommended to families!!

We had a wonderful stay here! Everything was exactly as described. Eugene was really responsive when communicating and super friendly! I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. Thank you again for such a relaxing place to stay!

I can't say enough positive things about Alice and her home. She was incredibly welcoming, and made my entire weekend a delight. Her home is beautiful, and it was a very comfortable stay. But Alice's kindness and generosity really went above and beyond. Thank you again!

My family and I absolutely love our "Home away from home." This was our 2nd year enjoying all of the elegance and fun your home has to offer. Giovanni and family are the best host's that we have ever had. Communication is so important, and any time I reached out, I was quickly responded to. We got into town a little early, and they were very accommodating when they didn't have to be. The home is immaculate and warm and we didn't have to leave to be entertained. Visiting my son, who is active duty military is even more amazing when you have such a beautiful home with plenty of family things to do right at your fingertips. The neighborhood is peaceful and we felt safe and secure in our own private oasis! Thanks so much for making our stay just as amazing as the 1st time. Looking forward to our next trip!!

The house was super clean when we got there, the temperature of the house was great the entire stay. The pool was certainly clean, but since we went early, June the water was a little bit cold, but it felt really nice and refreshing honestly. There were three beach chairs and a wagon there that were helpful for traveling to the beach. There were available cups plate, utensils, and all the necessities that you would need, they even had shampoo and conditioner bottles there for us. We weren’t aware that there was a code to get into the house so instructions for check-in were a little bit unclear, but all I had to do is message and they responded. Overall, I would recommend staying here because even though the area surrounding isn’t the nicest, I felt safe the entire time at that house!

Great location and host. The home was the perfect size for my family and friends.

We had a great family visit at this house. We really enjoyed the pool and whole house was very comfortable and clean! It was nice to just hang all day by the pool or top for a sanctuary from a long day of events. Sabrina was very attentive and responsive with questions and situations, appreciate her flexibility as a host!

Mark is a great host. The house is immaculate. Every little detail is perfect. By far the nicest AirBNB I have ever rented. Mark made sure everything was perfect for our visit with our son in the Navy.

Monica was an amazing host! She was very responsive , gave clear and very helpful instructions! Her home was super clean and cozy, felt like a home away from home! My family and I would book again!

He was so kind and helpful!!!! Ready to book again!!!!

I found the home clean comfortable extremely close to actives I was in town for would certainly stay again if I find myself in the area

Family vacation for almost a week and everyone loved it! We definitely recommend families to come to the Blue Octopus for their next visit to Ocean View-Willoughby Spit. Friendly, clean and with all the amenities for the whole family.

My family and I enjoyed our stay! There were 4 of us but it was very comfortable and didn't feel overcrowded. It's not a big house but everything is placed well and so thought out! It was also very clean which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend!

The property was exactly as described and Thomas was extremely responsive and very helpful. It was the perfect situation for our family’s celebration.

We were in town for a surprise 50th birthday party. This was just the beginning of a weekend of memories with my sister'friends! The Broadway was an absolute wonderful surprise. The pictures online do not do it justice for this cute and quant townhouse. Decorations fit the broadway theme. If ever back in Portsmouth we would easily stay here again.

Mr Gabriel’s home exceeded our expectations! He was very detailed with his check in instructions and lets you know where everything is upfront. Communication was great, he checked in daily to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything. This place is very comfy and feels like home. It’s more spacious than what the photos show, especially the bedrooms. Bedroom #1 has a large walk-in closet along with an en-suite bathroom. Both bathrooms have standing showers and fully stocked with toiletries. Bedrooms #2 and #3 are spacious with a nice size closet space. Description doesn’t mention about a 4th bedroom but it was locked and off limits. Plenty of towels and washcloths were available in the hallway closet. Fenced in backyard for children to play outside. Kitchen has a dishwasher, a full size washer and dryer, Keurig machine, toaster over, air fryer and all utensils we needed to make our meals. Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. God willing, I’ll rebook this for future trips.

This was our second stay at this Airbnb and we were incredibly glad we decided to book again! The place is exactly as described, has all the beach supplies so you don’t need to pack it all, is just a quick walk to beach (awesome with kids), and the view can’t be beat. Heidi was an extremely responsive host who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was fantastic - you can tell her priority is the guest! My family of 5 plus a grandma enjoyed lazy mornings on the patio, taking in stunning sunsets over dinner, and long days on the beach (bathroom breaks back at the house are a snap due to the close proximity). The outdoor shower with warm water is especially helpful with kids! We will be back at least twice this upcoming year. Thanks for another great stay!

We had a great stay at Ali’s place! It was very clean and the beds were so comfortable! The location is wonderful and near shopping, restaurants, and Buckroe Beach is just minutes away. I would highly recommend and will stay again when back in town!

Our stay at Bay Bliss exceeded all of our expectations and I highly recommend booking this home for your beach vacation. The house is exactly as described, clean, quiet, and right on the beach. I spent most of my time on the beach or the deck overlooking the ocean for the most peaceful mornings and evenings. The house is also very kid friendly, kitchen is filled with every thing you could need, beach toys and floaties, coffee, you name it. The hosts are very helpful and responsive, and had the easiest check out which made our stay all the better. My kids are already asking when we can go back!

Great hosts! Very receptive and quick to respond to any questions. House was very clean. Beach Chairs were available to walk across road for easy, not crowded beach access!

The house was spotless, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. We felt right at home and truly enjoyed every moment. We’d definitely love to return!

This tiny home was just the right size. My dogs loved the fenced in yard and my husband and I enjoyed the quiet location. Just close enough to the beach and restaurants. I would definitely consider going back!

This home stands out among the many air B&B’s I have stayed it. Emily and Abel provided many extras such as cold water and snacks when we arrived, beach towels for our use, dog food bowls for our dog, soft beds with plush throws to use at our leisure. The neighborhood is walkable filled with southern charm. Our family used this home as a gathering place for my son’s wedding. It exceeded my expectations.

We had some initial inconvenience but Teresa jump in and took care of it right away! We appreciate that and they were easy to communicate. Beautiful home! we recommended
