Trusted by our guests

The apartment was well appointed, clean and had a lovely location. Sean was very attentive and helpful. Would stay there again!!

Susan Jasper

Harbor Serenity, September 2025

Great location, ocean view access and short walk to Wallis sands!

Jake Phillips

Harbor Serenity, September 2025

We had a fantastic stay. The condo was clean and comfortable. Having a water view and being so close to the beach was awesome. Sean responded immediately to our texts and Sharon, the housekeeper, was very nice and helpful. Would definitely book again.

Deborah Barrow

Harbor Serenity, September 2025

Basically just shabby. Needs maintenance, a deep clean, nicer amenities (e.g. more towels, ice cube tray, plastic wrap, foil, food storage containers). There was lightbulb missing in the bedroom. Does not include anything useful for going to the beach even though it's beachfront. No dishwasher. Very little counterspace in the kitchen. 5 chairs at the dining table even though it hosts 6 people. We liked that it was a short walk to the beach and the outdoor space / front deck was nice.

I’d consider returning!

Charlie Tormanen

Harbor Serenity, August 2025

Seans place is such a great location! The property was just had described in the description. I would definitely recommend to anyone! It was very clean and comfortable.

Brian Pierce

Sean was a good host, very responsive.

Luke LeSaffre

Harbor Serenity, July 2025

We had a great stay! I’d recommend this Airbnb for its fabulous location. Stunning ocean views and easily walkable to the beach.

Liane McCready

Harbor Serenity, July 2025

Great stay! We had to leave our other Airbnb unexpectedly and Sean was very accommodating. Location is perfect!

Shannon Buckler

Harbor Serenity, July 2025

We had a wonderful time, the setting was lovely and the apartment was perfect for us three friends to get together for the weekend.

Brenda Hoseason

Harbor Serenity, June 2025

Idyllic location and a consumate host... what more can you ask for! Was very happy with the stay and we'll be returning.

Great location - easy stroll to Wallas Sands.

Nate Kowash

Harbor Serenity, September 2024

Everything as advertised! No problems at all. A gorgeous spot on the NH seacoast!

Cheryl Jukes

Harbor Serenity, September 2024

Great location! Sean was responsive and helpful throughout the stay! We would definitely stay here again! Snug Harbor is a jewel!!!

Maryann Stuke

Harbor Serenity, September 2024

Sean’s place worked well for our family! It was so great to be able to walk across the street to the rocks and ocean—so peaceful and serene! It was not super private but had a nice outdoor space. The sofa was a bit worn and the kitchen was sparse, but it did have what we needed and the beds were comfortable! Overall a great place to stay on the seacoast.

Kelly Habig

Harbor Serenity, August 2024

I’d confirm that the bathroom floor is updated before booking. The tile was broken and chipping, parts of it were sharp and/or pointy. The rest was mostly as described. Bed was comfy. Some stains on pillow cases, towels, and sheets. It was lovely quiet at night and in the morning. Midday there was a lot of construction and the cleaners use of the space below thw unit was loud. Area is not walkable for small children. No sidewalks.

Sarah Schoettler Woll

Harbor Serenity, July 2024

Great spot! Easy to walk to the beach. Sean was super responsive and helpful.

Laura Elizabeth

Harbor Serenity, July 2024

The kitchen, bathroom, cleanliness, walk to beach, ocean view were all great! But my bed was way too soft and uncomfortable for me (I prefer firm), and the LR couch must be worn out because all the cushions sunk below the frame when I sat down on it. Those are the only reasons I can't give it a 5 star, otherwise it has lots of positive attributes.

GREAT HOST AND A WONDERFUL PLACE~

This was a great place to stay. Sean could not have been more responsive. Clean place and looked better than photos. Would definitely recommend

Julie Sallet

The place was perfect for our family of four. Very easy to find. Sean always replied back quickly to any question I had. Would definitely go back!

Pratik Chaudhary

Très bel appartement au bord de l'océan. Je recommande !

Fabien Ht

Harbor Serenity, April 2024

This was our second time staying at Sean’s and it was great- comfortable home across from the ocean and had everything our family of four needed for a weekend away. Thank you!

Sara Donohue

Harbor Serenity, February 2024

Beautiful place right across from the beach. Nice and clean.

Donna Ciccarelli

Harbor Serenity, October 2023

Beautiful environment located right on the water. Very responsive host. Clean space.

Dana Coletto

Harbor Serenity, October 2023

It was a quaint and comfortable place to stay. Sean was very responsive!

Jordan Albin

Harbor Serenity, September 2023

Clean and comfortable property presented exactly as it was described. Beautiful grounds and green space that you don’t find a lot of these days. Love the Adirondack chairs looking out at the ocean. Even though the beach is walkable, we had to drive because of the chairs, umbrella, cooler and other stuff we wanted on the beach. We would definitely go there again especially in the fall when prices drop more.

Roland Carantit

Harbor Serenity, September 2023

High marks for the condo & location. Terrible experience with host. The key code didn't work so we couldn't get in. I messaged the host but no response. I called and went to a mailbox that was not set up. It was just me and my young children, but luckily it was daytime. A neighbor saw us gave us the number of the actual condo owner, who told me the code for a different lockbox box with an emergency key so we got in. He also had the management company call us. The management company insisted the lockbox was online so had me try the original code over and over again. I asked for someone to fix the lockbox so that we weren't dependent on a single key. Two days later the lockbox was replaced when but still never worked with my code but did with a different code. Then after we left, we got a message asking us to move a car that wasn't ours. The condo was clean though, had good air conditioning, new kitchen supplies. Partial view of the sea. Quiet. 10 minute walk to Wallis Sands.

Laura Guarnotta

Harbor Serenity, September 2023

Great communication. Place was updated and clean.

Julie Condron

Harbor Serenity, September 2023

We needed a place to stay near Portsmouth for a wedding. The space comfortably fits 3 adults and 3 children when utilizing the pull-out sofa for some of the kids. The beach was a short 5-10 minute walk away and we had a beautiful view from the front deck/porch looking out on the ocean. If the weather cooperates, you can get a great view of the sunrise from the rocks across the road in front of the buildings. There is parking behind the building for 2 vehicles. We ran into an issue with someone being parked in one of our spots for the duration of our stay. Fortunately, there was a spare spot we could use and the management group was very responsive to the issue. I would stay here again if I was visiting the area.

Jonathon Lochner

Harbor Serenity, August 2023

Great location, very clean, and the host was responsive when we initially had trouble getting into the unit. The only reason we gave it four stars instead of five was the shower didn’t work well. The water pressure was too low to rinse shampoo. Otherwise it was a very nice unit and enjoyable stay!

Rick Stram

Harbor Serenity, August 2023

Sean's place was beautiful. located with a stunning view of the water. the neighbors were friendly, and short though it was, we had a wonderful stay. We would 100% come stay again.

Martha-Mary Lane

Harbor Serenity, August 2023

We stayed while in the area for a work trip and this was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed, was comfortable, and beautiful both inside the apartment and the entire surrounding neighborhood and beach!

Katie Davis

Harbor Serenity, July 2023

I only have good things to say about this rental : clean, beachy vibes, ocean view & close to multiple beautiful beaches. Sean’s instructions were more than clear, it made the process really smooth. I 100% recommand and will definitely come back !

Eugénie Belzile

Harbor Serenity, July 2023

Service and response from host was great. The reason I don’t give a five star is I think they should advertise as 4 person max. It sleeps 6 and the dining table is for 6 but that’s about it. There is only one couch which is a pullout that can sleep two and is worn out. That is the only soft seats. Kitchen is tiny as well with almost no counter space. We only had three adults and two children (3yr and 4mo.) and l was glad we didn’t have more. Overall good experience. Thank you!

Jay Yoder

Harbor Serenity, June 2023

the place was clean and as described, ocean view with good outdoor furniture on front deck. deck gets full sun and could use an umbrella there, it got very hot. there was a grill on site that was on what i would call common grass area, also Adirondack chairs out on the lawn but we had no idea if we could use them or not. the kitchen is a small space but has what you need, comfortable beds, clean linens, good AC. the place could use luggage racks, more than one hand towel, some more amenity touches, plug strips, plugs near bedroom mirrors things you need with 4 people and 1 bathroom. the biggest complaint is the couch which is the only "comfortable" place to sit inside, it's a sofa bed and the couch cushions sink into the frame and on top of the sofa bed, some kind of cushion support is needed, very uncomfortable and a couple club chairs would be good 4 people don't want to share one couch or sit on wood kitchen chairs while gathering.

Patty Dawson-Elli

Harbor Serenity, June 2023

In a beautiful setting with very comfortable living spaces, this unit provided us with a wonderful short vacation. Exploring northward towards Portsmouth, NH and into Maine the location proved perfect. Easy to find with close and safe parking, and other amenities were nice and as described on-line. Before leaving, we explored the immediate surroundings in Rye and fell in love with the casual yet pristine vibe. We were greeted everywhere we went with friendly faces and conversation. We also found the best little coffee and lobster shacks just south of the property. I went on a girls-trip but would love to bring my husband back to this one. Thank you Sean !

Shelly Haller

Harbor Serenity, May 2023

Loved how it was as so close to beach , but very pricey for the one night stay. Extra $ for cleaning I was not expecting could not check in until 3 pm and had to be out in cars by 10 am for the cleaning people? Small place could be cleaned in an hour! , the towels were stained. But enjoyed the stay.

Pamela Merrill

Harbor Serenity, May 2023

Was pretty good overall,

Theodore Purington Jr

Harbor Serenity, May 2023

Perfect little beach house for our family vacation. loved it!

Brianna Tipping

Harbor Serenity, May 2023

The space was beautiful and the location and view were fantastic. We had some trouble with the electrical outlets in the kitchen and the shower and while Sean’s team was very responsive it was inconvenient to work around repairmen needing to be there. Also if staying again with more than 4 I would bring my own blankets for the pullout- the ones provided were small to use on a bed. Would consider staying again in the future.

Beth Anspach

Harbor Serenity, May 2023

Beautiful spot! I loved hearing, seeing and smelling the ocean.

Jenifer Cannon

Harbor Serenity, May 2023

Sean’s property had excellent views and was very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away! Sean was also very responsive for whatever questions we had.

Nick Chee

Harbor Serenity, April 2023

Lovely accommodations, great views. Really comfortable beds!!! Sean gave great and explicit instructions on check in etc.

Deanna Annis

Harbor Serenity, February 2023

Great cottage across from the ocean! My family of four had a relaxing stay here and would definitely return. Thank you!

Sara Donohue

Harbor Serenity, February 2023

This was a well run space! We stayed for a week with our three year old and one year old. It was a great space for a family with a well equipped kitchen. Sean and the team communicated quickly and effectively. Everything was as described. There were a few days when we didn’t have a car and the kids enjoyed some beautiful walks, but we no doubt recommend having a car.

Sabrina Mondschein Van Den Bos

Harbor Serenity, January 2023

Excellent stay in a great location. Communication was excellent. Will look to book with Sean again in the future. Thank You.

Bela J. Tomahatsch

Harbor Serenity, November 2022

Nice place, ocean view from the front windows. Very clean. We arrived late and the parking was hard to find in the dark, but Sean responded quickly. He was responsive to our questions in a prompt fashion. Would stay here again.

Susan Patton

Harbor Serenity, October 2022

We had a great time at this location and Sean was an excellent host. Everything was as it appeared in the photos and the house had everything needed for a comfortable stay. I would also add that this whole area in Rye is stunningly beautiful. It’s so close to the beach with other great surf spots and hiking nearby. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Jared Bowns

Harbor Serenity, September 2022

Great place for a weekend trip! Clean and good communication

Meghana Kartham

Harbor Serenity, September 2022

Beautiful house. Beautiful views. Great location relative to Portsmouth, the beach, and other places of interest. The Seacoast team was fantastic, made it a seamless stay, and we really enjoyed our time at the place. Thank y’all!!!

Michael Rudzinsky

Harbor Serenity, August 2022

Excellent experience. The place is exactly as described. Great location, very near to several beaches, and anything else you could want is just a short drive. Will definitely stay here again!

Meg Berton

Harbor Serenity, August 2022

This location and place is great. Clean and has everything you need. Location is walking distance to the beach. The kitchen was small but well stocked with everything we needed. The air conditioners were wonderful and easy to use. Communication with the host was easy and responsive. They were very accommodating and helpful. The house guide online was very helpful.

Christine Rainville

Harbor Serenity, August 2022

What a great stay at the beach! I cannot say enough about it. The space was extremely clean, had all amenities a family would need for a week’s stay (but do recommend bringing extra bath towels, toilet paper, and paper towels), the view was fantastic, the location was superb for kids wanting a ton of beach time, and my favorite part was the outdoor space which offered awesome views of the Atlantic. Having never been to the coast of New Hampshire I didn’t know what to expect, but both my husband and I rate this stay as one of the top beach stays for our family. My kids cannot wait to come back! Wallis Sands Beach is a perfect beach for kids. We will definitely stay here again!

Sara Futia

Harbor Serenity, August 2022

A peaceful, clean, easy stay with ocean views just a short drive from many activities. My family truly enjoyed being able to sit on the front porch and take in the surrounding beauty of the ocean without some of the distractions that you get in the local coastal towns. A short walk to Wallis Sands Beach, and a little further to Kooks and Petey’s Market just at the South. To the North a nice walk to Odiorne State Park. The host was super helpful in communicating the layout and guidelines for the rental. The neighbors were super friendly and everyone was relaxed. Definitely worth the stay, the memories made were priceless. Will be back next year!

Katie Paddock

Harbor Serenity, August 2022

Nice location and nice place.

Stéphane Garneau

Harbor Serenity, July 2022

Booked this as a last minute getaway for my 3 nieces and I. Such a beautiful, clean, quiet location. The neighbors who own their property are extremely friendly. I do think it’s more for adults who just want to getaway and relax, than for families. I was worried my nieces being loud ( teenage girls being girls) would disrupt the other tenants. I will for sure look to come back and stay here again.

Tammi Lawrence

Harbor Serenity, July 2022

Awesome place to stay - location was wonderful, clean house and fully stocked with all kitchen essentials. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Kristen Texeira

Harbor Serenity, July 2022

Our stay at Unit 6 was terrific. The view of the Atlantic Ocean and of the Isles of Shoals is amazing. The varied boating activity going to and from Portsmouth Harbor a plus. This unit is best suited for 4 but our family of 6 managed very well. Walking to Wallis Sands beach is easy. Also you will be near Odiorne State Park.
