Paradise

We love it so much here. The hosts are wonderful and always helpful. If peace, quiet, and beauty are what you're looking for in a vacation home, this is it. It's also strategically located within easy driving distance of Newport, Bristol, Warren and many other fun places, as well as nature reserves, beaches, etc. There are a couple of great grocery stores nearby as well. We are already planning our next stay.

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!

Perfect Every Year

We return to the Shore House year after year, because it’s a rare find that does not compare to any others we’ve visited. There are no negatives whatsoever. The property is well-maintained and the view is spectacular. The upscale house is solid, stylish, and comfortable, with modern kitchen and baths, as well as many amenities not found elsewhere. The hosts are accommodating and just wonderful. We cant imagine a RI visit without staying at the Shore House!

Best view

This place is perfect for a couple. The views of the bay are amazing, and worth it. The master bed room is open upstairs, so a big family would be tough. The master bath has a steam shower that was awesome. Would definitely recommend this place!

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.

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.

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.

We have made RI our home away from home. This would not be possible without Jon and Jan hospitality and allowing us to visit multiple times a year. The location and the house are amazing- the views are second to none. We will be back again soon.

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!

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.

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.
