About this house rental

Quintessential Maine home featured as cover story in Accent Magazine (See Cover Photo). Very private situated on the Piscataqua River with access to the Atlantic Ocean. Dock and mooring provide use of kayaks, canoe, and excellent swimming. Lie in the hammock and enjoy stunning sunsets every afternoon. Home is located about five miles from Portsmouth, NH. Boats can go directly to the ocean and use of a mooring at the house is included. The river is tidal and makes for very good swimming (the water is generally 10 to 15 degrees warmer than at the ocean) with safe, gentle current anytime between half and full high tide. This part of the river is wide and wooded with few houses for a very private feel in completely natural surroundings. There is a tremendous amount of wildlife viewing directly from the house including bald eagle, red tail hawk, cormorant, fox, deer, wild turkey, and seal. Excellent fishing for Striped Sea Bass and Bluefish, directly in front of the house.

Home features 1 bedroom with Queen bed, den with fold out futon and bath on the first floor and 2 bedrooms with King size beds and bath on the second floor including a Master suite with French doors to balcony overlooking the water, master bath includes large spa tub. Kitchen/dining/family room with stone fireplace and French doors to deck and screened porch. Living room with grand piano and built in bookcases.

Gourmet Kitchen offers 6 burner Viking cook top, n GE Convection Oven, stainless refrigerator and walk in pantry. Property surrounded by gardens and many opportunities for quiet walks. Nearby Portsmouth and Portland offer tons of cultural events, restaurants and shopping.

Wonderful! Relaxing, quiet, spectacular sunsets. Morning coffee outside on the deck listening to the quiet motion of the river. Very comfortable home with everything we needed.

Holly’s home is spacious & well supplied. Located in a beautiful peaceful private area overlooking the tidal river with a deck, patio & screened porch, there is much to enjoy. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a great gas grill on the patio. Access to the river was a bit of a challenge, as it is steep & quite a balancing act to get a kayak or paddleboard into the water. The water is calm and lovely near the dock, but only deep enough to use for a couple of hours before and after high tide.

The house was just as pictured and very clean. Well-equipped met all our needs! Communication with holly and caretaker excellent! Loved all the artwork throughout the house. Notice something every day. We had a very enjoyable time and enjoyed exploring the surrounding towns.

This house on Starboard Cove is a wonderful escape. The kitchen is fully appointed and spacious; there are several 'living rooms" to enjoy a good book - either one that you brought or one from the amazing selection on the house shelves. The outdoor space allows for great entertaining. A stay in this home is more like a visit to a friend's house - fully decorated and interesting. Communicating with Holly was easy and quick.

We loved our stay at Starboard Cove. Communicating with Holly was easy and she was very accommodating. The house, location and view are beautiful. We spent so much time on the screen porch watching the ground hogs, deer, chipmunks and eagles. We had some rainy days so the finished basement with games and the billiard table was perfect. The house was well stocked. We would definitely stay again!

The house is beautiful and is quiet and secluded with fabulous views everywhere you look! Great place to sit and relax. We had 2 teenagers with us who had plenty of room to toss the football around and they loved the basement (they never turned the tv on). They even put down the phones and pulled out Monopoly on a couple of stormy nights (lots of games supplied). It is well stocked and there is a nice little grocery nearby with great people. You are about 20 minutes from Portsmouth and major roads for day trips. There were some issues with appliances and outlets, but the owners contacted us about repairing them. Our only disappointment was the fishing, good for kids to catch little ones, but for serious fishermen, dock not far enough out to cast into channel for blues and stripers.

We decided to take a family vacation in Me. There were 7 of us and a toddler and we had plenty of room. The house is so interestingly decorated. On day 6 I was still discovering something new. What a wonderful area. It is so close to just about anything you could want to do. We would not hesitate to rent this property again while visiting Me.
