Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Eliot

Beautiful home with water views, amazing location to walk or drive into Portsmouth or the outlets in Kittery.

My sister and I had a great long weekend at Aaron's place. Aaron communicated well and proactively warned us about a slow sink in the bathroom. The apartment was lovely - adorable and sweet and in an amazing location - walkable to lots of good food, drinks, a cafe, and downtown Portsmouth. Can't beat the location! Aaron also had great suggestions of places to eat and drink. Everything was as described - if you are worried about open staircases - don't stay here. Also - think about bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper - the music and conversation from The Corner Pub carried into the bedrooms at night.

Our stay was so relaxing. The house is very comfortable and we felt at home right away. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The sauna is absolutely magical and the lake was quiet and peaceful. Check in/out was a breeze. Perfect spot for a relaxing long weekend with zero stress.

This home is beautifully designed and located high above the water, affording a spectacular view of the ocean. It is spacious and well appointed for entertaining. We had a lovely time with our adult children who appreciated the sunny deck and fire pit. We absolutely plan to return again in the future.

We spent the weekend here catching up with friends and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The house was cozy and welcoming from the moment we arrived, with beautiful views all around. We’re so thankful we got to stay and make the most of it. There’s so much to do nearby, and it’s just a quick drive to Portsmouth, NH, which has so many great places to explore. Rachel also shared some fantastic recommendations that made our trip even better.

Beautiful home and quiet location away from traffic but yet close enough to all the shopping, restaurants, and beautiful beaches

Small old creaky quaint house ! Built in1911. Close to downtown. Stairs are steep but the place is exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Gail’s place is super cute - and a short commute to our family wedding activities in downtown Portsmouth! Gail is a great host and was very accommodating to us when we requested changes to our itinerary.

Wonderful location! Walkable to many eateries. The place was clean and well equipped- nice modern esthetic. We had a great time!

Loved our stay! The airbnb is located above a restaurant, so parking in the assigned spaces can be a bit tricky if you arrive at night, but still no issues as we parked in a restaurant spot until we could move the cars later. The location is great, walkable to town and the cliff walk. The inside was more spacious than we anticipated from the photos and it was so nicely decorated! Would definitely come back! The side door was a bit tricky to lock, so I’d recommend only opening if you plan to use the little porch area with the full wall opened up.

Very sweet and well-appointed space. Check-in was easy and the stay was super pleasant and peaceful. Would definitely return!

Perfect spot for a girls weekend in Portsmouth with an easy walk into town. The place was easy to find, very clean, and spacious.

Nice place, clean, comfy bed, very well stocked, had everything i needed for a month. I work from home, over the internet. My only recommendation to Alan and Martha is to fix the wifi which went down multiple times per day and disconnect me from my job and conference calls. The first 3 or so times it happened, i called & texted the 2 phone numbers that Alan provided (in a note on the fridge). I also left a voice mail and knocked on their front door. but i never heard back about my text or voicemail. Eventually I unplugged are re-plugged the antenna/router which fixed the issue most times. Sometimes you have to do it 2 or 3 times, but eventually it does work.

Very nice place, reasonable price and very close to beach, shopping and restaurants. Amanda was great to communicate with. We were able to check in early. We did have an issue with the keypad once, reached out to Amanda and it was resolved quickly. Amanda was great with communication before we even checked in. I was a little concerns because I’ve never used an Airbnb before. Wasn’t sure how it worked as far as extra towels and necessities and Amanda was great, she told me that there would be enough and if not, she would Provide more. We would definitely like to stay there again. I think the only thing that I would suggestion is curtains on the windows. There are blinds on the windows but being that close to the main strip it’s very bright and it always looks like it is daytime in the apartment when it is nighttime. But other than that, we had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to book again.

We had a wonderful stay for the UNH graduation weekend. Highly recommend, peaceful setting, comfortably furnished, everything we needed. The full kitchen was very helpful and well stocked for needs, and the grounds were relaxing. Walkable to spots in Dover, easy drive to Durham, close to Portsmouth. Very responsive hosts, would love to return!

Studio by The Sea Barbara&Jim, Traveling alone is often difficult. I felt very secure upon arrival. The hosts were welcoming and happy to greet me. They gave me a tour of the Studio and were very informative about the surrounding area. So much to see and enjoy. I will always hold this Airbnb stay close to me. Come and visit Studio by The Sea! Thank you, Barbara C. June 2, 2025

The condo was very beautiful and homey. We spent most of our stay indoors because it rained, and we enjoyed every second! Everything was as described and well taken care of. Basia and Bradley checked in on us throughout our stay and gave us plenty of recommendations. Looking forward to staying there again!

The condo was extremely clean and tidy. Location is perfect for shopping in Perkins Cove and walking the Marginal Way. Once again, another great visit!

Great stay

The unit was exactly as advertised. Spotless and well kept with modern amenities. Chris is a great communicator…never waited more than a few minutes for a response. All in all a great stay. Thanks, Chris!

Christopher was a helpful host and his place was perfect! Clean, fully stocked, great location. It was close to lots of beaches and restaurants and the pool was great for the little ones

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at John's place. It was a perfect location and very clean. John was great at communication and super nice. Thank you!!!

Great place to stay for our family of 4. I asked for 3 beds and that request was made possible. I enjoyed the area and it was quiet and peaceful place to rest after walking around the beaches and or state parks. Amenities were very good and communication with the check in team was excellent.

Christopher’s place was extremely clean and in the perfect location to explore downtown Portsmouth. We would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area.
