We were in town for a family wedding and Garland House was just a few miles from both the ceremony and reception. The location is great, the house full of character and beautiful, historic photographs, a perfect little bed for our son, a full and hearty breakfast, and sweet dogs for company. We would happily recommend this charming spot!

Priscilla made a wonderful breakfast of fresh fruit and yogurt, cooked to order omelettes with fresh veggies, and a cinnamon coffee cake. She was very congenial, accommodating, and helpful. The two rooms upstairs had very low ceilings, as she mentions in the advertisement for the house and not much floor space if you're used to spreading out, but the double and twin beds were very comfortable. And there were down pillows which I love!

We had a very pleasant experience at Garland House. Stefania was a very gracious host and the house was very welcoming. Stefania's breakfast was delicious, she prepares the best omelets courtesy of the happy free range hens that roam around the property. The location is excellent, very close to the town of Portsmouth (10 min car ride). The only thing to consider if you are staying on the second floor is not to take too heavy suitcases because you need to carry them up through a very narrow staircase. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and Stefania's hospitality.

Priscilla was kind enough to guide me in when I got confused in the dark and couldnt see the numbers (that were very clear in the morning light). I loved my evening at the Garland House - slept like a log in the quiet of the New Hampshire countryside. Woke to the sight of a troop of chickens passing through the yard - doing their patrol without any noise at all. Grapes, greek yogurt and lovely cinnamon rolls with butter and marmalade were such a treat. I was very comfortable and would definitely stay there again. A true New England experience and could not have asked for a better host.

Priscilla was an attentive and kind host. The room was very comfortable and I slept like a baby. Thanks again for a wonderful stay and a great omelette! Loved the dogs and hens as well

Pat and I had a wonderful stay in Garland House in Rye. Our host Priscilla was very gracious and extremely knowledgable about the history of the area which we put to full use. The house is adorable and perfectly located - a short drive both to Hampton beach and to the lovely city of Portsmouth! We are in the process of planning our return visit in the very near future!

Everything was as described and the room was adequate and comfortable. Priscilla was knowledgable about the local history and very interesting to talk to . She had good advice for places to visit.

This was a am absolutely delightful stay. The accommodations, provided amenities and morning breakfast were absolutely superb. The recommendations of local places to visit were excellent but the real treat was exchanging stories while sharing a meal. If you have the time, learn about the history or the house as well as the area, it was absolutely fascinating to learn how parts of American Revolutionary history were shaped in this little area.

Very cosy place, well located near beaches and sightseeing. The suite is wonderful, clean and spotless, with small attention for guests and advices on local visits. That's really a good airbnb !

Kim's home was truly lovely. In a great location just ten minutes from Portsmouth, the house is beautiful and the apartment was perfect for our needs. The place was clean, welcoming, and cozy. We really appreciated the snacks that were left for us and all of the kitchen supplies that were available for our use. The apartment was warm, large, and great for a weekend getaway.

My girlfriend and I had a last minute getaway and decided to stay at Kim's guest suite. It was absolutely beautiful. The location is great. Private but 5 minutes from the beach. It was so clean and Kim was thoughtful enough to put out her tea collection for me because she saw I enjoyed a cup of tea. We would definitely stay here again and next time we hope to meet them and their dog Lacey. Thank you again!

The place was very clean and homey everything we could possibly need was in the apartment. Very private and close to the beach. Kim was very helpful as well! Defiantly will be back next year!

If I could give this spot six stars, I definitely would. I really can't say enough about what a wonderful experience my husband and I had at Kim and Chris' lovely Seacoast Guest Suite. The space is lovely and has been carefully stocked with everything a guest would need. Care has been taken with all of the details -- even setting the door code to the last four digits of my cell number so that I would not have to strain to remember something new! If you are lucky enough to find yourself in the wonderful Portsmouth area, I highly recommend you stay in this ideal guest suite.

This is the second time we've stayed with Kim in her guest suite. The suite is spectacular, and Kim is absolutely lovely. She is so helpful and kind! She even helped me drag up all my luggage when I had an angry baby with a full diaper. We will hopefully be coming back again next summer. Thanks Kim and Mike!

WOW. This is our first experience with Airbnb, and Kim sets the bar high. The apartment was fantastic -- well appointed, attractive, roomy, better than we expected. From the high quality sheets to the nice snacks, from the extras (like hair dryer, iron, even a contoured pillow!) to the great location so near the ocean (awesome sunrise on the last day), WE LOVED IT. We have absolutely no regrets and will definitely stay here if we ever travel to the Seacoast again. Thanks ever so much, Kim and Mike, for your awesome hospitality!!

We loved our stay at Kim's Seacoast Guest Suite. It is a wonderful location with plenty of space and privacy. The rooms match the pictures well. We loved that the room was private and in a quieter part of town. The place is stocked with everything you could possibly imagine. We enjoyed the place, the yard, borrowing the bikes, the beach backpack chairs, and the snacks Kim was nice enough to leave for us. She was such a fabulous host and we wish we had more time to chat with her while we were in town. Kim had a lot of great recommendations that were spot on in town- we wish we were able to get more of her ideas while we were there. Kim was very organized for her guests with books of recommendations and info on the area. This is definitely an ideal spot to stay in the Portsmouth/Rye area. We hope to return really soon and stay here again!!!

This was a new Airbnb listing so I was a bit cautious to reserve and didn't know what to expect. But wow am I glad we stayed here. It is really spacious comfortable Airbnb Just to have a large living room and then the bid bedroom was wonderful. Sun streams in. Easy walk to beach on sidewalk and hearing the waves a bonus. Appreciate Ian having beach chairs and towels for us. Ian offers a great place and was a great host. He gave us privacy and we communicated through text if we had questions.

The Beachcomber was perfect and exceeded my expectations! I had family coming in from out of town for graduation and didn't have enough space. Ian to the rescue!! My guests had their own entrance to a private space in a lovely classic New England home that was warm and inviting throughout. Nice touch with the snacks and my guests loved being able to make coffee then walk to the beach in the morning! Thanks Ian for having a great place to offer and for your assistance!

The host gave us the grand tour upon arrival and made us feel very welcome. Everything was as advertised. The house was on a quiet street within walking distance to the beach. We walked to dinner and ate at Petey's.

Steve and Jeanne's house is exquisite. Very close to the beach, too. Great hosts! Thanks so much. Joe

Steven and Jeanne were incredibly gracious, friendly, and welcoming. They were both there to greet us and show us our lodging, and they provided helpful information about activities in the area. We had a private room and bath in a wing of the house, and they provided a full breakfast in the kitchen. They are rightly proud of their lovely house, which they've designed and renovated themselves, and the beach is right down the road. Everything was just as it had been described. This is a perfect location for someone who wants to spend time at the beach and in nearby Portsmouth but doesn't want an impersonal motel. We had to do some juggling to change our date at the last minute, and they were very helpful and flexible. It was a great Airb&b experience!

Steven and Jeanne made us feel right at home. We enjoyed talking to them and wished we had stayed longer to explore the region more. Our rooms were very comfortable and the area is pretty. We would love to come back!

We had a great time. Beautiful walk to the beach. The hosts were always there to help with anything we needed. The house was lovely and breakfasts were perfect. We had wonderful conversations with the hosts and would definitely recommend staying here.

This was a very enjoyable, cozy home to stay at. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless, super clean. It was also extremely welcoming. My friend and I had a pleasant chat with one of the hosts over the breakfast she had prepared for us. It is definitely within walking distance to Rye Beach, and a short drive to Portsmouth. I highly recommend staying here!

Steve made us feel incredibly comfortable and welcome in his home! We thought everything was impeccable and loved the location. Hi home and the guests' area is truly lovely, and breakfast was a real treat. We hope to return again for a longer stay and highly recommend staying with Steve!

Walk to the beach is perfect for a weekend getaway! My friend and I picked it for its proximity to the beach and to Portsmouth, and we were thrilled with our choice. Steven and Jeanne were always available for questions and tips. The private wing gave it a bed and breakfast feel. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun yet relaxing trip to New Hampshire!

What a wonderful apartment set in beautiful surroundings with immense care and thoughtfulness on the Host's part. Carrie has done a stellar job in making a stylish and charming apartment that has every amenity you can think of. The bedding quality was luxurious and she was so generous in welcoming us with a stocked refrigerator and other goodies . It's hard to leave this place:) . We are already planning a trip back . Thank you Carrie for such a wonderful stay .

Had a great time here. The listing was as advertised, very clean, roomy and accurate to pictures. Gets good sunlight and a breeze if the windows are open. Nice extra touch with juice, water, snacks and fresh eggs stocked in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. Quiet street, about 10 minutes to downtown Portsmouth by car. Parking is off street. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Perfect, affordable, spacious, adorable. Thank you Carrie! See you next year!

My husband and I literally could not have been happier to have spent a weekend at Carrie's space. It was impeccable, peaceful, and luxurious! There were some wonderful, thoughtful touches (comfy sheets, fully-stocked bathroom, easily secured entry) that she incorporated and offered that just made us feel so welcomed. We hope to stay there again when we visit NH again.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to spend a nice, quiet night in. The apartment had anything and everything we were looking for! Carrie and her pup Pip were very friendly and welcoming! The little extras ~ farm fresh eggs, milk, juice, and bathroom toiletries were an added bonus. The apartment was beautifully furnished and decorated and felt so warm and comfy! Definitely a must see and stay place! Thank you again Carrie~we had a wonderful time!

The host made tremendous preparations for us. Carrie is such a nice person, doing her best to make the rooms agreeable and cozy! We love this place. We definitely will recommend to friends.

Beautiful, charming, and COZY place in Rye, NH! We relocate every few months for work and spend a lot of time in short-term rentals. Our time at Carrie' place felt like an indulgence. Nice furniture, comfy bed, and I loved the jetted tub int he BR. The apartment is connected to the main house but with a full stairwell in between, so there are no shared walls. Very quiet. We heard the local wild turkeys goggling through the woods more than Carrie's kiddos next door :) Carrie and Nick were excellent communicators and were available whenever we needed them. The apartment is only a few miles to the beach and 6 miles into Portsmouth. It was the perfect setup for us and we would gladly rent from them in the future.

This is a lovely rental. Our best Airbnb experience! Quiet, clean, comfortable, beautiful and stylish. Carrie is helpful and easy to communicate with and certainly provides the essentials!

Perfect beach cottage! Great stay for our family- very family friendly . Easy walk to lovely beach and sweet town of rye. Beach equipment was fabulous to have. Coffee and little nibbles were a special treats. Rachel was super helpful and responsive. We loooved our stay :)

My husband and I and our two elementary schoolers loved our visit to Rye and Portsmouth and stay at Rachel's seaside cottage. The cottage is clean, tidy, well-organized and cozy with tasteful cottage decor. My kids thought it was great climbing up a ladder to their little sleeping loft. Rachel is very easy to communicate with. We had all the information we needed. Coffee, goodies and helpful tourist maps were thoughtful extras. We enjoyed the bird feeder out back, the beach equipment and board games. Popular beaches are a short bike ride away and simply crossing the street takes you out onto a rocky shoreline. Friendly and safe neighborhood.

Jackson was a great host and his place was roomy, stylish, and clean. My husband and I and our two kids enjoyed our long week-end visit in Rye, NH (which is very close to the beach) from our home in southern CA. We were lucky to have a snow day! Jackson's place also has a big, secluded yard that allowed the kids to have fun playing in the snow. Jackson was helpful and responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here with 3 people for a workshop we were attending a 20 minutes drive away. It was spotless, stocked with everything we needed, comfortable, surrounded by beauty and communication was easy. Jefferson made it painless for us to arrive as two separate groups; my group arrived later so I didn't meet Jefferson and Diana in person but our friend whom arrived first was greeted by them and said they were lovely. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Everything was exactly as described. Wonderful accommodations- VERY quiet neighborhood. Easy access to the beach, Portsmouth, Hampton and more. Diana and Jefferson are wonderful hosts. This was our first experience with airbnb - we will definitely do this again!

This was hands down our best AirBnB experience from start to finish. The home far exceeded our expectations and the place was even better than the incredible photos posted on the site. Every detail of the home has been well thought through. Jefferson was such a welcoming host during our entire stay. If you are looking for the perfect home in an ideal location within the Seacoast of New Hampshire this is the right spot for you. We look forward to our next stay at this amazing home sometime in the near future.

We were initially impressed by the photos of the house online and the experience of being there certainly lived up to our expectations. All of our communications before and during our stay with Jefferson were prompt, helpful and courteous. We were given excellent instructions for our arrival and greeted by Jefferson with tips for our stay. The house itself is a real work of art, contemporary, comfortable and spacious. Jefferson was always available to answer questions, but afforded us privacy and full run of the beautiful house. We would love to stay again!

Diana and Jeffersons home was very comfortable and spacious. The home was clean and well stocked. As hosts they were very responsive to our needs and special requests. It was a great place for our family to gather.

This is a terrific property...Clean, comfortable, and cozy all in one unique home. Equally important, Diana and Jefferson couldn't have been more helpful or nicer!I would highly recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay on the NH seacoast.

We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at Jefferson and Diana's fabulously modern home, nestled in a quaint New Hampshire seaside town of Rye. We needed a place to stay nearby family and this was the perfect spot. The home was perfect for our needs, had enough space for us to share and find a nook when we needed alone time. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds soft and inviting and everything we needed for a home away from home for Thanksgiving. Will definately be back!

The cottage is cozy and comfortable. It is a great location in a quiet neighborhood that is convenient to the shore and downtown Portsmouth.

Perfect size for a couple no distractions from TV. Gretchen is very accomodating and easy to interact with.

Gretchen was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is great. Not fancy, but cozy and comfortable. The location is awesome. I would definitely recommend!

Gretchen was a wonderful host. She took the time to give me great information about the local area before my trip and was so gracious as to offer to pick up a few breakfast items for me since I was coming in late. I felt very welcome and well-cared for, while still feeling like I had absolute peace and privacy. The cottage is described as "tiny" but was plenty roomy for me, and I think it would be for two people as well. The decor is sweet and cosy, with a well-stocked kitchen. The location is great--such a serene setting, outside the back and side windows you see nothing but woods and it is a mere mile to the beach, which I walked for exercise every day.

Gretchen's cottage was absolutely wonderful. It was very cozy, clean, and comfortable. We loved all the beautiful wood furnishings, the lovely backyard with views of the forest, and quick access to the beach (5 minute drive) and the vibrant town of Portsmouth, NH (12 minute drive). Gretchen was a great host - very communicative and gave us lots of great recommendations.

My partner and I wanted to spend a quiet, relaxing weekend out of NYC, and this was the perfect spot. Gretchen was incredibly accommodating and communicative, and the cottage had everything we needed including a fully stocked kitchen and beach towels. The pictures don't do the magic of this place justice - it certainly didn't feel "tiny," and was beautifully decorated with an amazing backyard. The cottage is very close to a bunch of beaches and a 10-minute drive to Portsmouth, but also tucked away in a very quiet neighborhood. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend and hope to come back next summer for a longer visit!

Gretchen's cottage was perfect for our little family of 3. Our favorite thing about it was the close proximity to beaches, which allowed us to come home as needed for naps since our baby is not a great sleeper. She had a helpful packet of info about local attractions, and was quick to respond to our questions before we arrived at the cottage.

Our experience in Rye was perfect! Gretchen's house is simply beautiful. We had a wonderful stay visiting nearby Portsmouth, relaxing at the beach, and cooking on the grill. Rye is a friendly town and we always had something do especially with Gretchen's extensive list of sites and activities inside and out of the town. We felt truly welcomed in Gretchen's home and town and can't wait to come back again. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

Host responded and was polite and courteous.

The house was great. We were seconds from the beach in a beautiful neighborhood. There were plenty of shopping areas close by for groceries and other needs. We found a great breakfast spot close by as well. We were attending a wedding at Seacoast Science Center and it was a short distance away making this home the perfect place to stay.
