Preston Real Estate

We rented 6 H street in hampton beach. Although it was a great location plan on being disappointed — something preston real estate won’t disclose.
The property is one step above a frat house with furniture from Craigslist. The mattresses are comparable to a jail house and the floors are warped and super spongy. Also be aware of stair issues going up and down the deck… totally out of code and dangerous.
Oh by the way, plan on being awoken with an early morning trash pickup and street sweeping at about 6 am. At night, you will also be awoken by motorcycles and loud neighbors. Other than that the place was fine.

We rented a property through Preston on 318 Northend Boulevard. My family, sister, brother and spouses rent a house every year. This is our first time in Salisbury. We paid $ 4,000 for a 4 bedroom house on the ocean. I had some expectation that house should be well kept. Alas, I was incorrect. The house was very run down and filthy — almost every screen was broken, some lights and ceilings fans did not work, the back door doorknob would fall off each time we opened the door, vertical railings on the deck were loose (a danger for small children as there was a 6 foot drop off the deck — we barricaded the railings to protect the kids in our party), the jacuzzi tub did not work, gum on the bed railings. Pigeons had a nest right above the opening to the deck. Bird poop everywhere. The top floor exterior deck was so rotted, we did allow anyone to use it during our stay. The big problem however, was the central air. When the central air was turned on and window shut, there was a terrible sewage smell. I suspect there was something in the vents. It was intolerable. We called Preston, and they said they would contact the owner. Never received a response from the owner. When the central air was turned off and windows opened, the smelled disappeared. We decided to stay to complete our week only because I never believed we would receive any kind of reimbursement if we left and went to a hotel.
In Preston Real Estate defense, they suggested we view the property in Feb. when they begin renting properties for the summer season. Because I work and live two hours, that was not possible. However, a lot of the issues we encountered (the sewage smell from the central air, or the feisty pooping pigeons nesting two feet about our heads) would not have been noticed during a walk through.
For the amount of money spent, the house was a disgrace, and the loose railings are dangerous.

We love hampton Beach!

Absolutely a disgrace… My mom wrote a check for 1400. For deposit on April 20^th 2015… She unexpectedly died on April 26 2015… The owners WILL not return money… Despite re-​renting 8 Boston ave Hampton… So wrong… So shameful!!!
