    What's special

    Just in time for summer, this storybook 3-bedroom beach cottage invites you to slow down, kick off your sandals, and savor the magic of Seacoast living. Move-in ready and brimming with classic coastal charm, the home welcomes you with sun-drenched white interiors, rich hardwood floors, and the kind of easy elegance that feels like an endless vacation. Tucked away in an idyllic seaside setting and just a short stroll to Wallis Sands State Beach, your days here can begin with salty ocean breezes and end with sunset bike rides along the scenic coastal routes stretching from New Hampshire to Maine and Massachusetts. Pack your cooler, grab your beach chair, and spend carefree afternoons on the sandy shore before heading into vibrant downtown Portsmouth for dinner, galleries, boutiques, and waterfront charm. Designed for gathering and making memories, the home features a cheerful enclosed porch and an expansive deck perfect for summer entertaining, lobster bakes, and starry evening conversations. Nestled quietly in the backyard, you’ll discover a delightful “She-Shed” complete with electricity — an inspiring retreat for artists, gardeners, writers, or anyone craving a little creative escape away from the main house. Whether you’ve been dreaming of the perfect summer getaway, a charming year-round retreat, or a sought-after seasonal rental opportunity, this enchanting cottage delivers. A recent septic installation adds valuable peace of mind, allowing you to simply arrive, relax, and enjoy everything this beloved Seacoast community has to offer.
