Rio Vista

Home away from home

A cozy, studio ADU right on the water. It was a delight to watch the tides and ships come in. It was like staying with aunties who made sure everything was okay and were always down for a chat. We can't leave out Rio the cat, the room's namesake, who was a cuddly and social visitor. It was quiet and peaceful and plenty of space for 1 person but a lovely temporary stay for a couple. My wife worked at the desk provided and there was a sitting area with a TV. The bathroom was pretty large with a walk-in shower. Heated floors and all the windows allowed for amazing air flow on the warmer days - the mini-split allowed for heat or AC. It was an amazing stay and start to our living in the area. We keep in touch with the owners and would recommend to anyone passing through.

Kittery

It is close to downtown Kittery, Portsmouth, and Rt 95. The studio is clean, fresh, and up to date. The pull screen door can be difficult getting in and out. The kitchen is very well equipped. There is a large closet that made it easy for me since I was there for 3 Too many plants block areas on the patio and make it difficult to exit on the water side. Carol is the contact person and goes above and beyond to accommodate or get what you need. She will give you great recommendations too. We loved the cats and enjoyed their occasional visits. The communication was mostly text and sometimes it was between one host and other times it was with both. That made it confusing and sometimes repetitive. We arrived when Carol was away and did not get clear directions. I had to reach out to find out the internet information, trash/recycling info, parking etc. You may Consider a notebook to provide basic contact, toilet, trash, window and parking information. Kayaks are provided.
