Rye Motor Inn

Such a great place! We rented two rooms, and just plunked down at the pool. Water was perfect temperature, the property was super clean, the rooms were adorable and comfortable. We used the grill and sat at one of the picnic tables, under an umbrella. Wallis Sands beach is right up the road. Great management. The epitome of family summer fun.

Perfect place for a romantic getaway. Quaint, well-appointed rooms. Across the street from the ocean. There are small patches of sand but mostly rocky beach. No ocean view from the parking lot due to seawall. Owner nice to talk with. Swim shop has some really nice products.

Wow. I can't say enough good about this place. Super cute. Retro theme. Perfectly clean. Great location across from the beach . Good parking. Well appointed with snacks and drinks available for purchase in the room. We loved our stay at the Rye Motor Inn.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was extremely clean, comfortable, and fun! The location is great- across the street from the beach and within a 20-25 minute drive from parks and restaurants. The staff was kind and accommodating when we needed to reschedule due to a family emergency. We will definitely stay here again!

Wow! What an excellent place to stay. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well decorated, and the attention to detail is spot on. A fabulous location only minutes from downtown Portsmouth. There are plenty of food options a short distance away. We slept well, and were able to relax the entire weekend. Cannot wait to come back here.

Highly recommend staying at Rye Motor Inn for more than one night if you can! We stayed for 5 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. We really enjoyed the room, location, and pool. Bonus the shop has tons of cute clothes and souvenirs. The queen room offered a sound machine and black out shades, making it easy to fall asleep. The kitchen came with everything you need to cook, clean, and wash dishes. Plus coffee, filters, sugar, and creamer, and delicious well priced snacks and drinks. The location was great for popping into Portsmouth, a day trip to Kennebunkport as well as taking a day cruise to the Isles of Shoals. Being able to swim in the outdoor heated pool and walk across the street to what feels like your own private beach every evening is really the cherry on top!

A little more critical here. Location is great. Room was enjoyable for a night stay. Got to enjoy the pool and the beach across the street. Very nice. I would recommend to anyone. My one complaint is no dishwasher in the room so they require guests to wash their own dishes. I have no problem doing so but I’m not trusting the person before me to wash theirs. We had dirty plates and drinking glasses to prove my point.

Love love love. Rooms were well appointed. Bath products were super nice. The pool was lovely and had lots of chairs and umbrellas. Other guests were quiet. The mini bar was Extensive though we resisted. We were able to buy fresh lobsters down at rays and cook them in our room no problem. Loved walking across the street and looking about the tide pools. Close to Odirones, Portsmouth, and not a bad drive to most beaches.

Thank you so much for restoring this classic. Amazing location. My family lived right down the street in this little slice of heaven for decades. Directly across the street from the ocean. Amazing night star sky, you can hear the ocean if you open your window, fog horn from the light house if you are lucky. After 9pm this part of town goes dark and is VERY quiet. Odiorne to the left, Wallis Sands to the right. Mermaids come out at night and build rock cairns down at the tide pools. Clean air, relaxing and NH crusty. Stayed for 3 nights recently. Room is clean, spacious, well appointed and provisioned. Great local vibe. Doug has done an amazing job, this was not easy to get to this point.

We took an impromptu trip to the Seacoast and found this gem! Fully renovated, this motel has a really cool retro vibe. If you're a fan of Mad Men, it's easy to imagine the Draper family staying here for their summer vacation. With a keen eye for detail and an understanding of what his guests want, our stay allowed us to relax, recharge, and enjoy the best accommodations Rye has to offer. Thanks for such a great getaway, Doug! We will be back!

People are SLEEPING on this inn and location. Minutes from downtown Portsmouth but you're on the ocean!? So clean and well maintained. We stayed in the bungalow and it was the best experience. Always enjoy our stays at the different seacoast apartment hotels owned by the same person but this one hit different. Thanks team, can't wait for our next visit.

Our stay at Rye Motor Inn was exceptional. There is no other hotel along Rye beach with a swimming pool. The pool was beautiful and clean. The hotel has been remodeled but designed to keep its vintage 50s vibe. All the details are great. Also, I would be hard pressed to find a nicer, pet friendly vacation or weekend getaway rental with all the amenities of this one. Doug is an awesome host and we have also stayed at another of his properties the Great Island Inn on New Castle Island also in New Hampshire. This is also a pet friendly place. Any time we have had a question or the smallest concern of any type, Doug has been responsive. The beach across the street is great for a picnic and sunbathing, and you can swim at hightide easily. But the other beaches a short drive South along the road are much more sandy, swimmer friendly, and also good for surfing. When we stayed recently, the Swim Shop was going to open the following week, but I am sure that this will be a welcome addition and another well thought out experience for guests. I have seen a few negative reviews out there, but don't be fooled. Most are excellent. For example, Doug came by immediately and repaired a vintage dinning chair for us and readjusted a light fixture in the bathroom that had an issue. The bungalows are great place to stay. You have your own kitchen, dinning area, & living room. We entertained family and friends nearby during our stay. Thank you Doug - We will be back!
