Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Seabrook, NH

Airbnb listings are allowed in Seabrook, NH, but with restrictions. Seabrook Beach Village District (within the Town of Seabrook) explicitly states that neither accessory dwelling units (ADUs) nor the principal dwelling 'shall be used for short term daily or weekly vacation rental space.' The District ordinance establishes three zoning districts (Zone 1/2/3) with residential use rules and prohibits travel-trailer/recreational camping except in established parks; building and occupancy requirements (building permit, inspections, certificate of occupancy) apply to dwellings. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
