Regretfully 2.5 years was was 2 years too long for us, here is our experience of the stay and our…read moreopinions. We signed a 3 year lease spending the 1st year there mostly on weekends and occasional days during the week, once we made it our single home after selling our house over a year ago reality set in. A lot of people will think they want to live at their favorite vacation spot until you live with the reality of random people who can & will walk/run by your living room sliders just feet away from your so called privacy at all times of day and night, it is a motel... When we were 1st there the night sky was amazing until an enormous flag went up that needs enormous lights to illuminate it every night. Then once the property owner's primary home was reportedly (by him) auctioned off he moved his family into one of the homes, (the former renters of that unit had a year plus lease, apparently they bailed within a few months), shortly after that the ongoing state of construction seemed to increase. With the heavy equipment and contractors trucks / trailers coming and going we woke one morning this past spring to the back of my wife's SUV having the rear corner punched in, we surely could not confirm that it happened in the parking lot so the next day I put a web cam pointing out back..damage done but we at least tried to be more careful. Dogs are (seemingly) not allowed on the property but one day earlier this year his contractor's 70lb dog came bounding into our open door (I thought we couldn't have dogs in the home!!). We love dogs and the dog was a known frequent guest on the property while the newest building was going up. We dodged a bullet with the just announced boil water alert for the surrounding area due to E Coli found in the water just recently! The positive is that the ocean view is great though being on the wrong side of RT1A you become very familiar with just how loud motorcycles can be and even worse the new trend of extreme stereo systems on some bikes. Again, short stay vs long stay. We creatively "negotiated" our way out of the lease conveniently before the cold winter months started and we have the mutually agreed lease termination document to prove it (one of the landscapers told my wife that he was sorry to hear that we were evicted?? A family member of mine heard the same story from a mutual friend that has absolutely nothing to do with any party involved. Where did this defaming lie originate?) Any way we left wondering how we stayed in such cramped space as long as we did! We have returned to being home owners once again and live just miles from the old Crown Colony. For future vacations that are near $3k for a week my wife and I can stay all inclusive in the Caribbean resort with food/drink & airfare included!

I think the rental agency response is quite telling. Renters beware. It was rainy at the beginning…read moreof our week, but that doesn't excuse the condition of the rental. Worst vacation ever. Since they decided to wait 1.5 YEARS to respond, I'll add additional information as well. 3 days after we left, my father ended up in the hospital for 4 days with pneumonia. I attribute that directly to the poor conditions of the rental. I live in a 100+ year old home. There is no reason for the conditions we experienced except for laziness and improper maintenance. Send pics of the rectified issues and I'll consider removing the review.

I'd probably go back.

These new builds boast the smell of great cut logs and are filled with everything needed for a cozy stay. Located centrally to Wintergreen and wineries, every age is accommodated. It is a family-run business, thus attention to detail and personal interest were always taken into account. Upon arrival we received a personalized note and a list of activities printed out for the days we were there. Beds are comfortable, kitchen was stocked and complete with full-sized appliances and cabins are quiet and private. The large, quiet, covered front porch called for coffee in the morning and wine at night. We were absolutely thrilled with our experience and look forward to returning.

Stay away from "The Little House," vacation rental at Plaice Cove in Hampton NH…read more The view from the deck was magnificent... until the backhoe showed up to fix the neighbor's sea wall, obstructing the beach, filling the air with noise, ruining the last 4 days of our vacation. Owner was unresponsive for over a week until threatened, and ultimately declined to offer even a modest refund. The Little House is dangerous for kids. Exposed electric wires/outlets/junction boxes, and there are hundreds of nails sticking through the wall (they are holding up the vinyl siding and stick through into the interior by about 1 inch). Thank goodness my 2-year-old did not stumble while close to the wall or it would have meant a trip to the hospital. Are there no building codes in New Hampshire? Also, you must climb over jagged boulders to get from the cottage to the beach because there is no direct path/stairs/walkway. The listing on HomeAway.com talks about a "short-stay guest/storage/laundry room" and provides some carefully staged pictures. In case you were wondering, the "short stay" room is actually a garage with a couple of beds set up in there, and there are rusty sharp tools strewn about. My daughter slept there. My aunt who is recovering from cancer slept there, and when I made up her bed a big black bug crawled out of the blanket. I was stressed out the whole vacation. The beach at Plaice Cove is rocky & rough, better buy some aqua socks if you want to swim. Many more details of this disappointing rental: http://958-ocean-blvd-nightmare.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-little-house-at-958-12-ocean.html I recommend you look elsewhere for your vacation.

I booked a semi-minute trip for my family & dog Aug 25th as I had previously stayed at Doug's…read moreDowntown Portsmouth apartment/hotel, and it was exceptional. I failed to see that Doug had sold the place when I initially booked the stay. That being said, the new owner and "manager" need to brush up on their customer service skills pertaining to travel and basic human interpersonal skills. Prior to arrival, I double-checked to make sure my early check-in which I paid a fee for was OK as the receipt is auto generated and showed a check in time of 4pm. The manager replied yes they could do that for me, I mean I paid for it they weren't doing me a favor. I also asked for 2 extra blankets because the area can be cold at night. Those blankets were not in the room as requested (even though staff were in the room when we arrived to make sure everything was perfect) and confirmed they would be. Next, the guests next door who arrived mid-week had 2 dogs (think the hotels policy is 1 dog for that unit but hey I'm not the manager) and he had them off leash running around the property with one charging right up to my dog each time he was near, my dog is currently ill and was not feeling this unwanted behavior. The owner was chatting with this guest upon arrival as he walked the property with the dogs running freely. I'm a huge dog lover & even volunteer with a rescue in NY but this was unsafe for the 2 dogs as much as guests. There was a sign at the pool to be safe by closing the umbrellas when you leave. Let's just say no one cared & I was thankful it wasn't windy. Also, the deck to the unit had a huge overgrown plant with tons of bees so if you are allergic, pack your epi-pen. Lastly, the night before we were to leave my mom was walking through the dimly lit kitchen and fell on the 1 stair leading to the living room, she was in so much pain we had to call EMS at 1030pm. They arrived along with a firetruck, and long story short, she was admitted to the hospital in the wee hours and had surgery the next day then transferred to acute rehab Labor Day through the next week. The following morning I informed the manager of the incident (as no one seemed aware there was an emergency situation on their property) who was distracted and half listening to me until I mentioned I was looking to stay longer but the site is wanting me to book as new guest and asked if she can extend my reservation. She seemed pleased to tell me it would cost the holiday rate which was about $2000 for Sat-Mon but due to this unexpected emergency, I had limited options due to the holiday weekend already started, needing housing that allows dogs & being 4.5hrs from home. When we left Monday, we had some down time waiting for my mom to discharge so I sent an email to the property to let them know we relocated to another hotel but it was shocking that no one checked to see how my mother was doing. She is a healthy woman who fell on their property requiring urgent surgery the next day. The responses were so lacking. The manager seemed to be full of excuses, covering herself, condescending as I have a hugh emotional intelligence and still not one inquiry about my mothers well-being. I work in healthcare and always joke "I have seen it all" well after this stay I truly have! I do hope the staff accept my recommendation to take some customer service classes and to ensure that the property rules are followed. Do yourself a favor, stay elsewhere to enjoy Rye & the surrounding areas.
