Nice Week in Portsmouth

The place was roomier than expected and well stocked. Loved watching the tide come and go, and everything was in walking distance but not in a high traffic area.

The Tide House is such a beautiful and convenient place to stay if you’re planning a trip to Portsmouth! Only a short walk away from all the shops and restaurants the town has to offer. Watching the tide go in and out from the window was so fun! The entire space is very clean and well decorated, a pleasant place to stay all around!

The location is great ! It’s an easy walk to downtown Portsmouth. The house is right on the North Mill Pond. You can see the water rushing in and out from under bridge with the tides. There was no one renting the apartment above me. My stay was quiet. There was no need for me to cook since there are so many good restaurants in town.

Great location, amazing studio

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. It was just a quick walk over to the downtown area and very easy to drive to the grocery store or other shopping area. The home was very clean and very well equipped. We tried out a few of the restaurant recommendations (Massimo's, The Works Cafe, and Birio) from the binder in the house and were very pleased. We would absolutely stay here again if/when we visit Portsmouth again!

The Best Little Getaway There Is!

We fell in love with the pictures on line, but honestly, they don't do this little studio justice. It's filled with light, character and charm. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the space is chock-full of thoughtful amenities. We loved our stay (so did our four-legged friends!) and can't wait to come back!

Serene waterfront studio Portsmouth NH

Lovely studio and well appointed. The bridge is not open to vehicle traffic so this made the location more quiet than perhaps when open. Our GPS or Waze app did not pick up on bridge closure so we drove around a bit upon arrival to Portsmouth.

Perfect in Portsmouth!

This studio was perfect for two people and our dog. The weather was cruddy, but that didn't stop us from walking to most spots and enjoying the food, drinks and history of Portsmouth. The unit was spotless and perfect size! Definitely recommend a stay here if you are visiting the city. It was a short walk to all the action and a great view of the river. The outside won't impress you on first impression, but the inside will, as will the location!!!
