This was the best place we have stayed at in a long time! The location was perfect, the attention to every detail was amazing. Washer/dryer, stocked fridge and kitchen, impeccably clean with top of the line towels, sheets and even a beach bag with sumptuous towels! The small coffee shop right next door was also so great!! We will be back!

It's so nice - and rare - when a place to stay exceeds your expectations. Ours were already high after reading the reviews, and we weren't disappointed. We stayed for several days with our dog in a King Studio Apartment which faced a quiet street near the water. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we could have asked for including a full kitchen, smart TV + cable, and a very comfortable king bed. The hosts made check in and check out easy, and we had dedicated parking. The location is very close to Portsmouth and made a great base for exploring the seacoast and southern Maine. Deserving of 5+ stars!

Our first visit to the NH coast and Great Island Inn provided a quiet setting that was close to the beaches and a 10 minute drive to Portsmouth. The large studio suites are stunning, exceptionally clean and fully equipped units with everything you need - just pack your clothes! Photos are as advertised , the owners are professionals who anticipated all the extras you need in your private suite for a luxury experience from fast internet to beach towels to a washer/dryer with detergent - even a stocked mini bar!

We truly enjoyed our weekend stay in apartment #4. The apartment was well-outfitted, well-stocked with beverages and a cute LL Bean Tote, and very well-designed. The location is great as well and right next door to Islanders Cafe. It was easy to stay there with a toddler as well.

This is a wonderful place to stay! We recently had our second stay here (this time with our dog), and it was a very pleasant experience. So clean, cozy, and quiet with a great mini-bar and amenities like heated bathroom floors and kitchenette. It's a quick walk to the beach or a short 2-minute drive to the public ocean-front park with incredible views. Next door (seriously, it's a 10-second walk) is The Islander Cafe with great food and coffee. Portsmouth is a short 10-minute drive if you're wanting to go into town for shopping, exploring, and eating. If you're looking for quaint, coastal New England vibes - Great Island Inn is it.

This inn is a gem! Beautiful room with every amenity to make your stay comfortable. Wonderful peaceful location in a picturesque New England setting. Spacious parking in the back was very convenient . Short walk around the corner to a beautiful beach. The Islander Cafe located next door was very convenient with great food. Short drive to Portsmouth. We were extremely comfortable and happy with our two night stay. We will definitely return for a stay on our next trip to Portsmouth. Highly recommended!!

Great Island Inn is a superb combination of stylish design and welcoming hospitality located in a quaint and peaceful neighborhood within easy distance of Portsmouth. We found the accommodations spotlessly clean and nicely appointed with great looking furniture, quality linens and soaps. The little kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a meal for breakfast or a quiet supper. There is nothing "mini" about the mini bar!! We found the refrigerator very well-stocked with a good selection of drinks and snacks. We loved the view (Room 5) over the sweet neighborhood and the Piscataqua River. New Castle Island is a lovely location and Great Island Inn is a gem!

What an absolute treasure! This hotel exceeded our expectations: immaculate, new, elegant nautical aesthetic, had all the comforts of home, great location. We traveled as a family of three: two adults and our seven-year-old (who slept on the pull out twin and said it was comfortable). A few of the things that delighted us: -- Pleasant, quick walk to a great beach at the end of Ocean (as recommended by Doug) -- Ductless AC offered great climate control and no shared ventilation, plus a nice outdoor dining setup (this was key for us as we had upcoming travel and really wanted to limit our COVID risk) -- Laundry in the unit was so helpful in minimizing our luggage -- Excellent, consistent, helpful emails and resources from Doug -- Close to fun dining and activities nearby: we liked the Isles of Shoals boat tour of Star Island and The Ice House (great sundaes)

Hubby and I always stay here when we go north. Doug always makes us feel right at home. If anything is needed, it's taken care of. There is nothing you lack when you stay at the Great Island Inn. The area is wonderful! I can't say enough good for the Great Island Inn. This is just a gem! I can't wait to stay away next year.
