Escape to the Seacoast - Relax, Work & Play by the Water

The pictures show it all! The House at 1010 is open and airy and perfect for both short and longer stays. Wifi and comfortable work spaces provide an easy escape from it all and make it a great option for working remotely by the seacoast.

The main floor offers a large living room with vaulted ceiling, fireplace, TV (Roku provided) and plenty of cozy seating. The full kitchen and dining area is perfect for all of your cooking needs. Dishwasher, microwave, pots/pans, oven...it has it all. The dining table can seat six people with an additional three spots available at the soapstone breakfast bar. A Keurig and K-cups are provided for morning coffees.

Off of the kitchen is a hall that leads to the eating deck with new Weber grill. A full-bath is also off the small hallway, directly across from one of the two entrances to the main floor guest bedroom (two twin beds).

Upstairs guests will enjoy a quiet sitting area on the landing and two bonus sleep spaces: A reading loft with twin-sized bed and sleeping nook with twin bed near master, and perfect for children. Portable crib and toddler mattress available upon request. Additionally, the master bedroom (queen bed, TV and desk space) and master bath are on this upper level, and as of August 2021, we've purchased a high-end new king-sized master bed! Washer, dryer and linen area are off of the master bedroom, making the upstairs its own full-service suite.

A sweet third bedroom with built-in closet and new twin daybed with additional twin trundle is hidden in the quiet lower level just off the side entrance to the home.

Just a short walk across the street, there is a lovely (and open!) town park, playground and sandy beach with clear water to explore.

Caretaker lives on premises (in cottage at back of property) and hosts are on-call for any questions or emergent needs.

Perfect place to have our high school girlfriend's reunion. Lots of sleeping options for the 6 of us to spread out. Love all the details of the house especially the beautiful artwork. Will definitely recommend and hope to go back in the future.

Stunning and cozy!
This is the perfect little place for a group! Lots of cozy and conversational spaces while also being large enough for people to decompress if they want. SUPER clean, this was by far the cleanest weekend rental property I’ve been to. The water in the showers heats up fast which is great for those cold mornings. Hosts were extremely helpful and both check in and check out were incredibly smooth.

A lovely stay
We rented this beautiful for a weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Check-in was easy, the caretaker was very kind and helpful. The house is very well stocked and comfortable. The owners left a wonderful list of nearby activities. We took one of their suggestions and visited Fort Foster which was so beautiful. We hope to be back in the future.

I know when people hear “cozy” they think small but this property was spacious and yet still cozy. I wish we’d had more time to explore around the town but it was a quick weekend for a family wedding. Awesome place!

Wonderful stay in Eliot!
The house was lovely and just perfect for what we needed. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week exploring Portsmouth, Kittery and Portland, ME. The house was in a great location and we loved being able to walk down to the boat landing/beach. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Would certainly stay here again. Thank you!

As soon we walked through the entrance we were “wowed”. Beautiful well lit kitchen with modern appliances. The downstairs family room will keep your eyes entertained by the craftsmanship of the woodwork. Beautifully decorated and well placed windows to capitalize incoming sunlight. Many options are available in the area to keep you occupied. Don’t miss out on visiting the coastline. Would I come revisit? Absolutely!

A Perfect Home!
We were in town to visit old friends and catch up with family. This was a perfect home for our small family! The house was immaculate, with the kitchen and lower level beautifully remodeled. The owners were attentive to any questions or needs during the week, with a quick phone call or text. This house is in a wonderful location to all sights and activities in Portsmouth/ Maine and also Boston areas. 5 Stars and 2 thumbs up!

Cute and comfy
We had a great stay enjoying the beautiful fall weather and colors! The neighborhood is nice and quiet. Being near Kittery and Portsmouth are a big plus. We actually had a short storm while we were there and a huge branch from a neighboring property fell on our rental car. The caretaker came over and turned that branch into firewood in no time flat and cleaned up everything after the storm. Thanks Sam! We hope to be back soon!

Peaceful and quiet
Lovely area, lots to see and do! Pretty home, quiet setting in rural area. While a couple areas could of used closer attention to cleaning detail overall the home is lovely! A costal feel cottage, nicely appointed with most essentials needed for a comfy stay. Could only find one wash cloth and the keurig was not working. The fireplace had the wiring on the outside but we were able to get it to work. The owners were not very quick to respond to questions. However overall we would recommend this nice home, we enjoyed our stay!
