Nice place across from beach
Had a great time. The room was perfect. Scott was attentive and gave great recommendations for food and activities. Would definitely return. Only drawback was lack of a stove/oven but it did not affect us for such a short stay

Exactly what we needed
What a cute property. Scott was amazing! He sent very helpful and detailed notes for check-in/check-out instructions. He was very quick with his responses. The property itself was exactly what was described. PERFECT!! Just a few steps from the beach and quick commute to shops and restaurants.

Cute property
Great area. Room was cute and functional with everything we needed for our stay. The bed was super comfy with lots of pillows. The room does get quite warm being on the top floor so we kept the heat low and opened the slider. They use an overpowering smelling deodorizer in the hallways and in the room. We put the deodorizers that were in the room on the porch and it was much better. You do have to run the shower for a few minutes to get hot water. We couldn’t get the Wi-Fi to work but the tv did have some good channels. Scott the owner was very nice, left us a care package and was a great communicator. We stayed in November so most of the stores and restaurants were closed. The night life was great with the casino ballroom and Wally’s for live music. Rt 1 had lots of places for food, drink, shopping and gas but is very busy. We drove to Portsmouth and Ogunquit for the restaurants, shopping & charm.

Hampton Beach Anniversary Getaway
Scott was a great communicator and worked very hard to make sure we were accommodated for our trip. This little place on the beach was a quiet and serene place to come back to after a day of exploring Boston/Hampton/Portsmouth areas. Right across from the beach, secluded and in walking distance from beachside restaurants. Great stay for a single traveler or a couple on the road!

Ty. I am opening in the one next door on the front with the amazing view. It’s to the right of the one you were at unit 303. I think I will call it the greater escape. Should be done in a couple of weeks.

Fall Getaway to Hampton Beach
The condo is quaint and quite nice and is accurately depicted on the VRBO site. All appliances and the TV worked well. It was just my wife and I, so the space was comfortable. The unit is located directly across from the beach - a short walk to the boardwalk, resurants and bars. We took short day trips to Portsmith and Ongonquit which we really enjoyed. The host (Scott) was very helpful and responsive.

Very comfortable stay at this property. Scott and Gail were in touch regularly from the beginning to the end. Its a very clean and well appointed condo in a quiet section. Condo was perfect for our family of 4 and the beach is visible from the deck. We were thrilled with the accommodations. We truly couldn't have asked for anything more. A cut above the rest!

Wonderful unit!
Our stay was exactly what we needed! This was a very quiet location away from the noise of the boardwalk. Everything we needed was provided by the very thoughtful host, even a few treats and some extra towels for the length of our stay. The tiny balcony was just enough to have a perfect view of Wednesday’s fireworks! The unit is on the 3rd floor so lots of stairs to climb, but we got our workout in every trip up and down! We highly recommended this condo! Many thanks to Scott, the host for everything!

Perfect Getaway!
This weekend away was just what we needed… a perfect little getaway! Everything was just as described and as shown in the pictures. The condo was VERY clean and nicely updated! There was a view of the ocean from the balcony, and the location was perfect for us - just a short walk from the center of all Hampton Beach has to offer! Scott was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He provided all of the little necessities that made a big difference! We would definitely rent again!

Super cute clean and modern, nice view of the beach and a short walk to all the action. check in check out process very easy.The only thing I would suggest is adding a full length mirror and an iron I know it's Hampton but don't want to be wrinkly. Would definitely stay again.

Quiet retreat on the beach
My husband and I went away for 3 days and we stayed at Scott’s. The condo was clean and right across from the beach. I didn’t know much about the location but we were right down the road from the boardwalk. Scott sent a welcome text with all the checkin info and he left a welcome basket of goodies which was great after a long drive. Scott also let us know of a few places that had entertainment. The day before checkout Scott sent another text with checkout info. Super friendly definitely recommend.

Close and very easy to get to the race track for race fans. and the beach is right across the road. It rained when we were there which cancelled the races so we sent most of our time here. Scott was very attentive to our needs which was appreciated!

Perfect location
My mom and I just enjoyed a perfect beach getaway. The apartment is clean and nicely decorated. Never needed a car. Grab your chair, towel and water and the beach is right across the street. Nice side walk for taking morning walks. It is on the 3rd level, and the balcony is on the side, but you do have an ocean view. Scott was attentive and responded quick to all texts.

This unit is away from the crush of Hampton Beach but walkable to the entire beachfront. Comfortable accommodations and Scott was very attentive to any issues. 3rd floor unit, so you have to be able to do stairs regularly, but you get a better view.
