Skylights & Tides King Studio - Kittery/Portsmouth
Fall asleep under the stars. Wake up to birdsong and coffee on the deck. You’re 7 minutes from Kittery’s outlets and 10 from Portsmouth’s waterfront - but a world away in your skylit sanctuary.

Welcome to your bright, airy studio loft. A large skylight sits right above the king bed, flooding the room with natural light by day and revealing a starry sky at night. The wood stove adds cozy warmth, the mini-split keeps the temperature just right, and the open layout feels spacious and relaxed, all while keeping you close to the best of the coast.
You’re 5 minutes from Kittery’s outlets, cafés, and breweries; 10 minutes from downtown Portsmouth’s restaurants, shops, and harbor; and 15-20 minutes from the beaches in York, Ogunquit, Rye, or Hampton. It’s the perfect home base for exploring southern Maine and the New Hampshire seacoast - then coming back to unwind in peace.
This bright, above-garage studio is all yours: one open, airy room with a vaulted ceiling and a massive skylight directly over the plush king bed. A queen sofa bed tucks neatly into the seating area for extra guests. The wood stove crackles on cool nights; the mini-split keeps every corner perfectly chilled or toasty. Step out onto the elevated private deck complete with two chairs and a charming table for morning light or evening wine, surrounded by trees and the faint sound of water in the distance.
