Incredible ocean view from our front window. Easy access and excellent instructions and communications with our host Sean. Good accomodations, all our needs were satisfied. Thank you Sean!!

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2025

Amazing view and so close to the beaches. Great deck to have coffee or snacks. Parking so convenient. Queen bed super comfortable but the pull out is not. Bathroom fine. Unfortunately the first thing you see entering is a badly repaired/hanging drawer and a storm door to the house with no hinges. Convenient to beaches and great restaurants and really an amazing location and view.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2025

Beautiful location and property. I would buy it if it were on the market! The host was also top notch. Excellent communication and very accommodating.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2025

Beautiful condo. Walking distance to the beach. Super comfortable. Exactly what may family needed for a last minute beach trip.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2025

This was a great location: beautiful views, walkable to the beach, and easy to access. The owners were super quick in their communication about any questions you have

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2025

Great place, as advertised. The living room window looks right at the ocean and you can watch the sunrise from the living room. It’s gorgeous. The place itself was clean and everything was self-explanatory. The house is an older building like all in the area but it just added to the vibe. The only negative is that it’s right next to the street and there is traffic during the day so when we opened the living room window to listen to the ocean we mainly heard cars passing by. But that’s just during the day. If you want a cheaper place but still enjoy a good ocean-view vacation, this might just be the one you are looking for. Oh, and anything in Portsmouth is only 10-15 min away, bunch of good restaurants, etc.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2025

Such an amazing stay!! The view was a million times better than the photos. Plan on returning:)

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2025

Sean’s place was super peaceful, neat and homely. We enjoyed ourselves & took advantage of the great window view!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2025

The best location we’ve stayed at in a while!! Love the place too!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2025

This was a beautiful location and comfortable surroundings. Enjoyed our week.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2025

Very responsive host. Excellent ocean view. Nice place. Thanks.

Sunrise Sanctuary, June 2025

Sean’s place in Wallis beach had a wonderful view. It was a lovely apartment. The unit could have a few upgrades to make it perfect ( trim painted around doors, cabinet doors fixed). Sean was an exceptional host; always willing to go above and beyond. Thank you… we’ll be back Susan from Toronto Susan from Toronto We would definitely stay here again!

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2025

It rained the entire time we were here the amazing view from the front window saved the trip.

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2025

Sean was a great host- easy to communicate with and very fast to respond. The house was spotless and was stocked with everything you need. The house is located just steps from the ocean making for fantastic views and the ability to hear the waves crashing all night long. I would absolutely stay here again!

Sunrise Sanctuary, November 2024

I had a wonderful stay at Sean's place. The place was clean and as described with wonderful view of the ocean. Sean was a great host and easy to communicate with to eensure we had a good stay. I definitely hope to go back in the future for longer.

Sunrise Sanctuary, November 2024

Beautiful location and views, exactly as decribed.

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2024

This place was absolutely breathtaking with a picture window view of the Atlantic Ocean waves just as described. This is a must stay airbnb! We had a wonderful time!! Thank you!

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2024

The property was comfortable and exactly as described. Sean was very helpful and responsive, making for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Thank you Sean!

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2024

Gorgeous views of the ocean! Loved the private deck. Very clean. We were very comfortable. Had a small issue that Sean was quick to respond to. Would consider coming back.

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2024

Only stayed overnight but was just what was needed. Hearing waves crash off the rocks and beautiful views. Covered parking was a nice surprise. Cozy setting with views is always an East Coast treasure.

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2024

Beautiful property and great communication! Highly recommend!

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2024

Excellent accommodations , very clean and a terrific location. Everything was perfect and comfortable. we would definitely come back if we were going to stay at Rye beach again.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2024

This rental lived up to each and every five star. Our small family, my husband, our baby, and I easily found, parked, and opened the door to an amazing view of the sea. It’s themed to sight, sounds, and smells we all crave on a beautiful East Coast getaway. The living area itself, beyond the gorgeous bay window that invites you, is clean, comfortable, and accounts for the small, forgetful trip items. Clean dish ware, coffee, ice, and the age old did we get ketchup? They have some! We hunted shells and sea glass a few baby steps across the street. Stocked the Radio Flyer one morning for a short walk to the beautiful beach, and (due to rain) also drove the 30 seconds to the large state park lot. We found the only negative to our experience was deciding the actual ocean… or the amazing view, breeze, comfort, and just inviting atmosphere these owners have created. A whimsical idea my husband and I had turned into what will be, hopefully a tradition. Thank you Sean!

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2024

Great location and great communication with Sean.

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2024

The location is perfect, the view of the ocean is priceless !

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2024

👍

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2024

Wonderful stay during Fourth of July weekend! The unit has an even better view of the ocean than pictured, parking was easy, and the kitchen was incredibly well-stocked! (We especially appreciated all the coffee, tea, salt/pepper, and vegetable oil being available for us to use.) Only recommendation would be to bring your own beach towels for use at the beach, as they only supply bath towels at the unit. We loved this unit, and we recommend to all!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

This was such a great air bnb for our family’s beach vacation! The best part by far was that it was walkable to a very nice, sandy, family-friendly beach. It was a comfortable place to cook a quick breakfast before we headed out to the beach, and a quick dinner before we watched a movie together, all sunkissed and happy, on the very comfortable sofa. There are a lot of really awesome places to eat out nearby, however if you plan to mostly cook for yourself like we did I would recommend bringing any essential utensils. But it has most of the basics and has an extensive spice collection! I would highly recommend for a small family, and expect to return myself!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

Absolutely gorgeous space in a great location! The views were unmatched. Comfortable furniture allowed us to feel right at home.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

Perfectly idyllic!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

A wonderful weekend away, the space was all we hoped for and the view was spectacular. Not a tourist area which was nice. Maybe add a few beach towels and chairs in the closet but that is our only recommendation!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

We loved it! Clean, well-appointed and great views!!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

Had a great stay at this Airbnb! It was clean, spacious, and the view of the ocean was amazing! And it was conveniently located just down the street from a beach (Wallis Sands Beach). The hosts were also very communicative and quick to respond to questions.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

The perfect two night getaway! Sean’s place was awesome. The views were spectacular and it was so nice and clean. Would definitely go back!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2024

Sean was a great host! Super responsive, clear instructions. The unit was clean, and comfortable. The view was AMAZING!!! I would go back again next year!

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2024

Gorgeous view and great access to the beach. The place was very clean and very comfortable. We definitely plan on returning.

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2024

Sean’s place was perfect for a short weekend get-away to the beach! The view from the living room is absolutely amazing and the bed was super comfy. We would love to come back in the summer.

Franziska Singrün

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2024

Second stay here!! It’s a great spot to get away from it all relax!! Very peaceful and great coastal charm!!

C Richards

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2024

The view was beautiful, exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. It was a perfect size for just the 2 of us, I was astounded at the ocean view every time I walked into the living room.

Sunrise Sanctuary, April 2024

Fantastic views, lovely apartment.

Sunrise Sanctuary, April 2024

Sean’s place was clean, the bed and couch were very comfortable, and the views were beautiful. It’s exactly what we expected. The cabinet was stocked with coffee and tea, which was a great way to start the day.

Sunrise Sanctuary, April 2024

Booking and getting into the place was very easy. Price was great. Room had a beach feel which made our stay fantastic! Room exceeded our expectation

Sunrise Sanctuary, January 2024

Chose to spend New Year's at Sean's with a friend because we wanted a kitchen and a view of our favourite stretch of sea and beach, Wallis Sands. It is a walkable distance to the beach. It was going to be perfect weather for a great view, so it was a no-brainer to book. It really is a stunning view from unit 9. It is a good sized space, cosy couch, good bed, very clean, easy to use kitchen and the mini-splits for heating/cooling made is cosy on a cold January night. Read the PDF welcome guide so if you're staying awhile you can bring some extra comforts if you need. The amenities cover everything to be sure. It's close to groceries, local fun and scenic drives. Even though it's right on the road, the noise was low and didn't bother us at all. You could hear a bit of the people in the unit on the other side of the wall but like in normal apartment living, nothing too disturbing. Overall would recommend for short or long stay.

Sunrise Sanctuary, January 2024

He needed some tissues. Other than that it was a nice place to stay. Great view of the ocean.

Sunrise Sanctuary, November 2023

We loved the apartment. We would have liked a little more lighting in the living room at times. The chain lock on the front door was broken but can be easily fixed. Otherwise the place was exactly as described. View was gorgeous even on the rainy days. We were able to watch a half marathon that took place on the weekend we were there from the expansive picture window. Truly enjoyed the drive on Ocean Blvd. And exploring was easy being on the border of both Maine and MA. If you’re visiting take a ride to Kittery Point ME and Plum Island MA - Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. Truly spectacular!

Sunrise Sanctuary, November 2023

Very peaceful place. Beautiful views. Comfortable furniture inside and out. Clean and tidy, very relaxing!

Sunrise Sanctuary, November 2023

Sean was very helpful and attentive to making sure our stay was the best it could be. This is such an amazing spot! Beautiful views and so close to the beach! I loved how it was close to things, yet felt private. I would recommend this highly to anyone I know.

Stacy Eastman

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2023

Stunning view of the ocean! It really takes your breath away. I highly recommend looking up sunrise times. 15 mins to downtown Portsmouth and there is so much to do, we wish we stayed longer. Sean was wonderful to work with and was super responsive. We would definitely return for another stay at this clean and peaceful spot. Thank you for a memorable stay!!

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2023

Thank you very much for offering such a lovely slice of heaven!

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2023

Gorgeous views, cozy space, responsive host!

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2023

Very nice place to be! We had a great time on my wife’s birthday! Thank you Sean!

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2023

Such a beautiful location. Quiet and peaceful, yet only short, lovely drives to anything and everything you could possibly want. Came for events in Portsmouth, but very much enjoyed staying outside the city. From the minute we booked Sean provided us with all the information we needed and then stayed in touch to insure we had a comfortable stay. Unit was very comfortable and everything functioned well.

Sunrise Sanctuary, October 2023

We loved our stay! The location was great, easy walk to Wallis Sands, great parking. But above all the place was clean, comfortable, and the view was awesome. My only minor quibble - I don't particularly care for the smell of those drier sheets that people use, and so the bed linens had that smell. That's probably just me, and it wore off after a few days. Thanks Sean!

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2023

Really great views, great sunrise from the bedroom window made for great mornings. Beach in seconds. Great spot!

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2023

Sean was an incredible host. He provided impeccable customer service, and very clear instructions on everything that we needed to know about the property. The ocean view from the living room window was incredibly breathtaking. I was able to watch the sunrise right from bed and was able to walk to the beach with my family. The house was just as described and felt very comfortable. We enjoyed the little extras like coffee, sugar, and spices that were left in the kitchen. Sean made us feel very welcome and made it known that he was available should we need anything at all.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2023

Great location with a beautiful view! Loved being able to walk to Wallis Sands and the beach beyond each day without the hassle of finding parking. Beautiful rocky shoreline right in front of the condo that was fun to explore or nice to just sit and watch the waves. Rye is an easy jumping off point for other coastal towns. Condo was clean and updated-enjoyed having a deck off the back which still had a view of the water.

Sunrise Sanctuary, September 2023

An excellent location with views of the ocean from the couch and from the outside rear deck. I'll definitely be back.

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2023

This place was great for a little getaway for a few friends. Beautiful view of the beach and peaceful inside and out.

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2023

The view of the ocean from the living room window was breathtaking.

Sunrise Sanctuary, August 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The accommodations were very clean and well appointed. Particularly enjoyed the private deck for morning coffee, reading and evening glass. The location was beautiful with quite a few beaches close by to explore and short ride to fabulous shops and restaurants in both Portsmouth and Kittery. I can definitely see myself returning!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

This place has a lot of great features. The view is beautiful and the deck is really nice. The location is great as well. Sean is very friendly and responsive. Despite all the great features above I wouldn’t recommend this unit for a family on an extended stay. The bedroom is really small and the pull out couch isn’t comfortable. Other than a closet with a few shelves and hangers there isn’t any place with drawers to store clothes. This location is in a unit with 4 other units and it is easy to hear what is happening in the unit below. One evening another guest below us played loud music well past the quiet hours and kept my children up. Thankfully, Sean was responsive when I reached out when it happened. Finally, for the price I expected better bed linens and it would have been nice to get two towels per person since we stayed 5 nights. Overall a great stay but I couldn’t give a five star rating based on the issues we had.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

I stayed during the rain and this place made up for it with great views and a covered porch to relax on. I'm looking for a return date already.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

What a great stay! Highly recommend!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

Nice location. Relaxing and close to what we wanted to do.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

Sean was excellent with communication before, during, and following up from our stay. The place was beautiful and impeccably clean. The views were exactly as described, and we already have more family wanting to visit because of our experience here. Highly recommend!

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

Excellent property. Beautiful view of the water. Easy access and close drive into town. Highly recommend.

Sunrise Sanctuary, July 2023

Beautiful views. Clean comfortable and great space. Nice deck area. Comfy couch.

Sunrise Sanctuary, June 2023

This is a lovely condo right on the water just south of Odiorne. Great views from living room. Porch out back is awesome. Very large with comfy furniture. Good views from portions of the deck to water. Great place to relax and unwind. I hit all the rye seafood places for fun. They're great. Plenty close to Portsmouth and groceries. Perfect spot. I would love to come back.

Sunrise Sanctuary, June 2023

This was an absolutely beautiful way to spend my Birthday!!!! The view was absolutely spectacular!!!

Sunrise Sanctuary, June 2023

Location, location, location breath taking views, oceanfront access, great restaurants and lots to do. You can do nothing if you prefer We had a great stay

Sunrise Sanctuary, June 2023

the view and the location was the most amazing part! walk along the ocean and beach or sit on the couch and take it all in though the window

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2023

It was a great experience! Sean was very helpful and place was very clean and beautiful!

Sunrise Sanctuary, May 2023

Snug Harbor Unit 9 was terrific! I've been coming to this area for over 50 years and this was the best accommodation to date. What a huge upgrade from when I was a child and stayed here. Everything was in line with the listing. The view was amazing! Other tenants were considerate and quiet, which I appreciated. Sean was attentive to all of my needs and communicated regularly to make sure I was satisfied. I was more than satisfied and am looking forward to coming back. The only drawback was the lack of internet. Internet instability is noted in the listing however I was only able to work remotely by making my phone into a personal hotspot.

Sunrise Sanctuary, April 2023

This was a great space in a wonderful location! I really enjoyed my time here. Highly recommend!

Sunrise Sanctuary, April 2023

Snug Harbor is AMAZING! It was a pleasure to stay here. Waking up to the view of the ocean is priceless. We loved being able to just relax away the BIG city and filling up on lobster. We will definitely be back to enjoy this gorgeous location. Thank you, Jim and Nora

Sunrise Sanctuary, March 2023

Great stay! The place is as pictured and the view is even more beautiful. There is a path in the rocks to the rocky beach below. It is great to visit at high and low tide. The place is clean and well supplied. You will get your passcode a few hours before check in. You are supplied one towel, hand towel and washcloth per person. There is no laundry on site. There is a shampoo and body wash dispenser in the shower (but looked like it had been mixed and been there for awhile. You also get one roll of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels. Overall, it was a great visit and would stay here again! Each unit has it’s own parking space and town is only about ten minutes away.

Elise Glinski

Sunrise Sanctuary, March 2023

Wonderful place to stay, with great view of the ocean! The unit was very comfortable and had everything needed. Would definitely stay here again!
