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.

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!

The house is charming, well appointed and more spacious than it seems from the outside. It had everything we needed for a relaxed stay. The instructions we received from the owner were clear and helpful. I have only good things to say about it.

Great weekend in Maine
We had a great weekend staying at Janet’s house! It’s a beautiful house and looked just like the pictures! The area is nice, it was raining so we didn’t explore much. It’s easy access to Kittery outlets and Portsmouth as well! We would definitely stay again!

Lovely house, perfect location
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. It is nicely laid out, full of light and extremely comfortable. The location couldn't be better--we had great day trips to Portsmouth, Great Island Common and Odiorne Point State Park. York, Ogunquit and Portland are all easy day trips as well. We are looking forward to returning!

Lovely home in great location!
We had a great time staying at this fully-stocked home. The location is fantastic, really close to both Kittery ME and Portsmouth NH. The towels and linens were luxurious, and the downstairs bed was great, but the master bed would benefit from a new mattress. Very minor complaint in the scheme of things and we'd definitely recommend this place for visit. We hope to return soon!

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!

Tranquility,Exquisiteness and Luxurious
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!

Comfortable weekend away
I rented this house for a weekend getaway on my own. It was comfortably appointed, and the owner and caretaker were welcoming, and prompt and clear in their communications. The home itself was cozy and clean, although obvious signs of wear-and-tear are visible throughout the house -- peeling wallpaper, paint, and grout in the master bath; wonky cabinets in the kitchen; dark spots on the light upholstered furniture; etc. The house is surrounded closely by other properties that have boats and construction materials in the yards. Overall it fit the bill for a relaxing place to spend the night with a glass of wine and Netflix, and bonus is that it's a short drive to some lovely towns/beaches, like Portsmouth and Ogunquit.

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.
