Perfect Hosts & Home!

We cannot say enough about our stay in Portsmouth. The house had everything we needed and more— it was so clean and spotless with the best views imaginable. It was in a great central location close to Newport and Bristol. This is a very special home and we made some great memories here. Thank you to our wonderful hosts, Jan and John!

Always a pleasure!

We had another fantastic stay at the Shore House! Jan is incredibly welcoming and always leaves the most delightful treats. The house is fully equipped and exceptionally comfortable. The little touches, like the heated floors and steam shower, really enhance the relaxation experience, especially with the stunning view. Thank you for another memorable visit!

Another wonderful stay at the Shore House

This is a beautiful home directly on Narragansett Bay. You feel like you are on a ship. Fabulous sunsets, clamming and swimming. This was our eighth straight summer visit. God willing we will be back next year for season nine. Jan Hanks is a caring hostess and can’t do enough for you.

The pictures don’t do this properly justice! The views are stunning from every room, and the architecture and design of this home is superb. Jan has thought of everything and the attention to details was appreciated. We had the good fortune to see fireworks and many beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return some day.

The Shore House-Stunning!

Year after year we return to this property. It is on a prime piece of real estate, with quiet views of the bay, lighthouse, fishing boats, birds, wildlife, the Mount Hope Bridge, and Hog Island in the distance! The house has absolutely anything you would need. The location is a short driving distance to many attractions, perfect for day trips! We are always sorry to leave! Jan does a phenomenal job maintaining the best accommodations in the area! LOVE THIS HOUSE!

Perfect Getaway

Nicely tucked away on the water’s edge is Shore House. Only a stone’s throw from so many things to do but off the beaten path enough to help you forget your troubles. Newport, Providence, New Bedford, Bristol all have plenty of things to do for anyone, no matter what you like. Shore House has all the amenities of home with the amazing views to go with it.

So Close Yet So Far Away

We live near by and yet staying here felt like we were REALLY on vacation. The house is so well constructed that the waves and wind never got in. Being on the water is exciting like staying in a tree house and on a boat combined. Our hosts were lovely as well.

This is the second time we have stayed at Jan and John's home and, if possible, we enjoyed it even more than the first. This beautiful house has amenities found in luxury homes, gorgeous views and amazing sunsets. During the past few years we have visited Portsmouth five times. This is our favorite property by far.

This home is amazing! The attention to detail of the home and the views did not disappoint. Every detail is geared toward comfort and relaxation. It was very quiet at night and the beds are quite comfortable. The house was spotless. Jan and John are wonderful hosts and were very generous with a welcome basket and a fully equipped kitchen. We cannot recommend this property highly enough!
