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. There’s a small office nook on the landing and a living area with TV, electric heat fireplace and a queen pullout sofa. Bedrooms on the ground floor include a sweet bunk bedroom (three twins) and a separate queen bedroom. This level also has a full bathroom.

Just a short (5 min) walk across the street, there is a lovely town park, playground, boat launch and sandy beach with clear water to explore.

Caretaker lives on premises (in cottage at back of property) and hosts are on-call for any questions or emergent needs.

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.

This was an absolutely wonderful stay. My husband, parents, best friend, and her parents spent the weekend here for a family friend’s wedding. First of all, the location is amazing; we were back and forth to Portsmouth, which took less than 10 minutes, but saw plenty of wildlife in the local neighborhood. And the house itself was beyond cozy. We slept in the living room on a very comfy pullout and everyone else raved about the beds in what felt like separate, private spaces. The kitchen was well stocked. We spent a lot of time chatting outdoors on the lawn furniture. Everything about this stay was perfect and conducive to a varied group in terms of interests and ages. We all had our own space, but could gather in the kitchen and living room. Host communication was extremely easy and they were flexible about timing which was so generous. We will come back!

Our girls only cousins’ reunion was a blast and the house is lovely, just as described. Our host was an excellent communicator. She was extremely understanding of a situation that cropped up on our end and we so appreciate her kindness and flexibility. For our group of 60 something, the layout could’ve been a bit tricky as there are many stairs to sleeping various sleeping quarters we were able to make it work, but suggest that it be explained more thoroughly in the description. thanks so much for a lovely stay. We hope to be back next year!

I stayed in this VRBO with five girlfriends for a low-key weekend hanging in and going out to dinner in Portsmouth. It was the perfect spot!

Delightful cottage with exceptional owners

Booked Ben & Jen's spot for a winter weekend exploring the New England coastline and it was a fantastic base for a group of friends.Ample room inside set over three floors, each couple essentially had their own private floor with a communal area in the middle. Lots of sitting areas, TVs and board games. Beautiful kitchen with up-to-date appliances and all the amenities you could ever need.Location was great, remote enough while also not feeling totally isolated. Around a 10 minute drive into central Portsmouth with easy access to the I95 to get to Portland/Boston.Exceptional hosts with quick and straightforward communication and excellent recommendations. Loved our time at this charming property.

This is the perfect little place for a group! Lots of cozy and conversational spaces while also being large enough for people to decompress if they want. SUPER clean, this was by far the cleanest weekend rental property I’ve been to. The water in the showers heats up fast which is great for those cold mornings.
