Everything was well managed and efficient. The house is absolutely delightful and the hosts communicated promptly so it all felt friendly and relaxed. The location is great with a supermarket a couple of minutes walk away and an easy stroll into the city centre.

Our well appointed unit (with all the luxuries and conveniences of home) was clean and spacious, and the perfect locale for an ocean vacation. Thank you Karen and Will for your hospitality!

The house was clean and stocked with snacks. Great location. Nice place to stay in Portsmouth

Beautiful home and easily walkable to downtown Portsmouth! Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thank you to the hosts!!!!

The house and location were fantastic! We completely enjoyed ourselves and appreciated the attention to detail. They thought of everything.Spotless as well. I highly recommend this property! Thank you!

Beautiful roomie condo. Great hosts. Location was perfect for weekend getaway

We stayed with 3 adults and 4 children aged 7-12. The spacious property had something for everyone. The kids enjoyed the large game selection and the playground on the street. The adults enjoyed the proximity to downtown. We all enjoyed the recliners!! We visited over the New Year and were excited to see the NYE fireworks in full view from the front porch! The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and there was a lovely welcome basket on arrival. We have family in Portsmouth and hope to stay here again when we visit!

Great location and a very nice place. I highly recommend it. Easily accommodated 6 adults and 2 toddlers.

From the very beginning, the communication with our hosts was so great. We arrived to a comfy home with a beautiful gift basket. The location and accommodations were wonderful. Everything was provided to make our stay comfortable. The home was not far from the downtown area of Portsmouth and not far to go to the Maine coast for a day or to the beaches. I would recommend this home rental to anyone. It fit our family's needs for the week and check in and out was easy. Thank you for everything!!

Lots of space, Well maintained and very clean property. Don’t worry if you forget something they probably have it there. Water and ice from refrigerator tasted so good no purchased water needed. Great communication with owners. Easy walk to town. Thank you for everything!

This property worked perfectly for our family. My daughter and her husband were attending a wedding in Portsmouth, so we picked this spot for us to stay and to provide some childcare to 3 year old granddaughter and 13 month old grandson. The little playground at the corner of the street was a big hit. The house is nicely finished with a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds!

Cleanliness - 5 StarsLocation - 5 StarsAccommodation - 5 StarsThank you Karen and Will for providing a clean, warm and welcoming stay for our family. Very accommodating for families. Games, puzzles, and books galore. The third floor suite was a cozy retreat and a great escape from the bustle of our group of seven. The location is perfect! Lots of great eats within walking distance or a very short drive. There is a playground adjacent to the property. But most of all, as a traveling family, the cleanliness is top notch. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We look forward to returning in the future.

Great owners - very responsive and flexible

It was a great “home base” for our travels. Bring your bikes, ride the coast, go to Odiorne Point, Seapoint Beach, Fort Foster and hike Harvard and Georgiana Falls! This comfy, home less than 2 hours from all of these!

My wife and I managed to get together with our 3 grown children and their significant others. It was a perfect size for the eight of us. It is a beautiful apartment in an ideal location for us, walking distance to downtown but on a quiet street with ample free parking. We did all we hoped to do - bicycling, kayaking, beach, meals at restaurants and meals at home. Thanks Karen and Will for a great stay!

The location was perfect for our girls weekend. Plenty of bedrooms and seating for watching tv and/or just talking! Karen left a beautiful welcome basket with lots of goodies!

Nice clean condo in downtown Portsmouth. Great fall weekend with the 7 of us very comfortable in this condo.

This house was so perfect for our week. We enjoyed walking to town and admiring all the lovely houses along the way. The house was thoughtfully appointed, pretty, and comfortable. The WiFi was reliable with no connection problems. Karen left a lovely welcome gift of snacks and wine, which was very much appreciated. We would love to stay here again!

Our family had a lovely time at this location. We found it a great location and had plenty of room for our family. Much more cozy than hotels rooms. Karen and Will very responsive to any questions that arose.

We had a wonderful long weekend at this condo! Our daughter is at UNH so we wanted something we could rent for Easter weekend. The condo is just perfect! We were close enough to walk into town and drive to the beach for a nice walk. When we wanted to stay in, we had movies and games to choose from. Our group of 5 had plenty of room and all the comforts of home. Karen and Will were wonderful hosts. Everything is labeled with directions for use (TV, DVD etc) which is so helpful when staying in a rental property. They left a lovely welcome basket for us, and were reachable by phone for any issues. The condo was immaculate and comfortable. We would definitely consider another visit!

8 of my friends went for a girls weekend to Karen and Will’s home in Portsmouth. They live a 10 minute walk from the center of town. The hosts were so responsive if we needed anything the whole weekend. The home was clean, updated and had pots, pans, silverware and other house hold supplies we would’ve needed! I would definitely recommend this home!

This home was immaculate! It was also very thoughtfully appointed. The location was terrific too. We were all right at home and enjoyed our stay together.

We stayed for a "Girls Weekend" and could not have pick a better place. The property was everything advertised. Walked into a spacious, clean and well decorated home. I immediately felt as if I was home. Plenty of restaurant and shopping within a short walk or drive. I would highly recommend this rental.

This is an exceptional house with convenient access to downtown Portsmouth. Very clean and up-to-date. We stayed for a week with six people and had absolutely no issues to speak of. Will and Karen are easy to communicate with and responsive. Highly recommended.

We had a great time, the location was close to everything, we could walk everywhere. We really appreciated the Hodge’s hospitality. Thank you!

Beautiful property! Updated but quaint New England charm. The central air was lovely to have in the middle of summer. Great kitchen for cooking in. They even had beach chairs and towels for us to use! This is a bit of a walk to the downtown area, 15 minutes, but uber is readily available in the area for around $5 at peak times, so we did that quite a bit. Parking is off street but if you have more than 2 cars there is tons of super easy street parking. We had 4 couples stay quite comfortably here, highly recommend!!!

We really enjoyed this house. Over the years and now with two kids under four years old we've stayed at quite a few VRBOs. The location was good in that it was off the main street, in a quiet neighborhood, with off street parking, on the same block as a little park, and walkable to downtown (15 minutes) as well as local cafes (5 minutes). It was very comfortable all around. I have to say we were super impressed by the five star hotel quality sheets and towels. The super comfortable leather couch seats recline. The house was cool thanks to AC. Our bed was a sleep number bed, which was fun (although I never found my sleep number, it was fun trying!). The kitchen was well stocked. There were tons of games. The care package was a nice touch. Wi-fi worked well. The owner was nearby and very responsive. You should know all bedrooms are on the second and third level. We liked this because we could put the kids to sleep upstairs and then hang out downstairs. There is no bathroom on the main floor - you have to go up a flight of stairs. It wasn't an issue for us for a few days. There is no outdoor grill set up. You have to take out the portable grill from the basement. But it was clean and functional. Overall, this was a fantastic choice and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had a great stay at this rental. The layout was perfect and there were four bedrooms to accommodate 8 of us. Karen and Will were easy to communicate with and even left us a Welcome Basket with goodies. I will definitely be recommending this property to friends and family looking to spend some time in Portsmouth!

A warm welcome awaited us after our transatlantic flight from Scotland. Karen and Will made sure the lights were on and the house was warm which we appreciated very much in the cold and snowy conditions. As if that wasn't enough, they had also kindly left a basket of goodies and some wine which we soon were enjoying. We settled quickly into the house and felt very much at home. The hosts had taken great care to provide surroundings which were high quality and considerate of their guest's needs. It was very easy to relax on the squishy couches, eat and play games at the dining table and Goldilocks would have had no problem with any of the super comfortable beds. Catering for ourselves in the well equipped kitchen was also easy although for tea drinking Brits it might be useful to provide a kettle and tea pot in future as we had to buy both. We must also thank Karen and Will for their excellent communication with us throughout and to Will for the prompt snow clearing after a heavy dump on our first weekend. They truly care about their house guests and we hope to return to their lovely property whenever we next have an opportunity.

We were in Portsmouth over the Thanksgiving holiday and stayed at this property. The property is in great shape and appears to have been recently renovated or at least freshened up. Everything was in great shape and and it is well appointed. The living area was very comfortable with a large tv so we could enjoy football after the Thanksgiving meal. The property was centrally located and fairly close to downtown so it was very convenient. The only negative for our group was my mother-in-law does not navigate stairs very well and this property has 3 levels. Overall it was perfect for our trip and we would definitely stay here again.

This home was perfect for our "Girls" weekend! Home was beautiful, updated and clean. Karen and Will were very lovely and easy to work with. Easy drive or walk to town. They also left us some snacks and wine. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for letting us use your home!
