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!

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. We can't wait for our next visit!

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.

Can’t wait to return! Jan and John are spectacular hosts!

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.

This was our sixth year at the Beach House. We are native Rhode Islanders retired in Florida. Our stay in Portsmouth let’s us reconnect with friends and family while enjoying the beauty and special energy of Narragansett Bay.
The Beach House is beautifully located, designed and built. It is quality throughout and the Hanks family is helpful and friendly.
We love it and have already booked for next year.

This property delivers everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The house itself offers a spectacular view. We were mesmerized whether sitting outside with the rocky coast just a few yards from the back porch, or inside the house where the large 1st and 2nd floor windows offer almost the same, unobstructed views. The house is equipped with any and everything you might need. Not sure we can ever find a better place than this property. It is obvious that the owners take great pride in this beautiful Shore House. Owner Jan is a lovely person and takes great care of every detail. We stayed for 3 wks and did not want to leave. It’s just perfect in every way.

Outstanding--don't miss this opportunity!
By far, this was the best VRBO property that we have ever rented--over 20 years! Jan and John's home is immaculate, an exquisite architectural design. They went beyond any expectations of amenities, cleanliness that we ever expected. Jan was available for any questions that we had and is a kind, kind woman to takes meticulous care of this property. Kudos to her and her husband. Book early--or you will miss out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay--and wished it could have been longer. Being so close to the water--was breathtaking. It didn't matter is the sun was shining or not..the magic was there all the time. It was quiet, calm and soothing. What else could anyone want to decompress. Loved, loved, out stay!

We come here a few times a year because we love it so much. The house is gorgeous and the way it’s set in the water is surreal. Jan is just the perfect host and goes out of her way to make you happy.

This house is spectacular! My husband and I spent a long weekend here celebrating our anniversary, and it felt like we were living in luxury! The house is incredibly clean and well stocked. Jan has thought of everything and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed all the treats that she left for us! The location is perfect! It was so nice to wake up to gorgeous bay views, and it was so easy to visit Newport and Bristol. We will definitely be returning again!!

This is our 5th consecutive year at the Shore House. The house is spectacular and the location super
The rental is wonderful. Swimming at high tide and clamming at low tide is great fun. The water is clean and Portsmouth is a great jumping off point for Bristol, Newport, Providence and Boston. We simply love it and will be back for year 6. Much thanks to John and Jan Hanks for making our stay special.

Beautiful home
This home was amazing! The hosts were amazing also! Jan met us at the house to go over how things work inside the home, where things were located, and to hand us the keys. She also had snacks and a few items for morning in the fridge for us. It's a beautiful view from the back porch over the water. Home was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. When we left, her son met us outside to thank us for staying. We thank you for allowing our family of 4 to stay in your home.

Our stay was from June 11th to the 14 th
This was our first time renting VRBO. Jan and John's house is in a wonderful secluded area. The views were unbelievable. This place was so quiet and peaceful. The house was SO CLEAN and beautiful. Everything you could imagine you may need they had at their home. Very comfortable beds...bathrooms were so clean and well stocked. I seriously cannot say enough good things about our visit. House is located close to many of touristy things. I highly recommend staying here. If your time is available... it's definitely worth the wait. Rhode island is a wonderful place to visit.
