This is perfect for a “ getaway’ vacation. All home comforts provided,
IT IS AN ISLAND, WITH ONLY BOAT ACCESS . NO CARS. THE rugged terrain is stunning.
We provide a Polaris to travel to the house, or it is a brisk 8 minute walk.
There is WiFi, but because of being on an island it is not always high speed, but it is enough for keeping in touch if you want to check emails etc.
This is a great off grid property with amazing views of the water and great wildlife- Eagles and Osprey's abound.
Had fun climbing on the rocks, watching the osprey and eagles, star gazing at night on the deck and playing games with the family. Even if I didn’t win at chess?
Our stay was nothing short of amazing! We had amazing time on the island. Stephen was a great host. Very responsive and made everything seamless. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!!
This is our second time back to Island Time and it continues to be such a magical place to get away from it all - we'll keep coming back summer after summer! Additional suggestions for future visitors on top of my review from 2020... if you have a larger group and are going to be going back and forth to the mainland often, consider renting a kayak or canoe so you don't have to rely on the resort's launch all the time - we did this and found it really helpful! We found that bringing lotion instead of spray to use as a mosquito repellant worked even better too. And this year the resort has a number of great boat tours available, so consider taking one of those one evening. Thanks Stephen for another fantastic vacation - can't wait to do it again next summer!
Reading the reviews helped in our decision with little details. This was an amazing getaway for those souls seeking peace and quiet and a soul reset. We arrived on a rainy cooler day in July so dress accordingly. Met the neighbors on a lengthy nature walk and enjoyed the exchange of life stories! Walking through the woods was such an amazing treat. The forest floor was such a squishy biome, we decided to go barefoot for the full experience. Be advised, we did feed the mosquitos quite nicely in doing so...Host was amazing, place was amazing, whole experience needs repeated on a regular basis!
Great secluded place for the family to hang out. The house is beautiful.
We arrived at Sebasco Resort at 4:00 pm check in time. The instructions provided by the property owner were excellent & we were able to navigate the process smoothly. We had to wait at the resort for an hour or so past check in before we could go to the property as the cleaners/property manager & his wife needed more time. We got a bite to eat at the Ledges Pub while we waited and sat outside by the water. At first, we were disappointed that we had to wait, but once the property manager returned to the dock and spoke to us, we appreciated his kind manner and explanation that the cleaning process took longer than usual due to how the previous guests left the property. We were grateful they took the time to thoroughly clean the property & talk with us. Upon our arrival to the island with all of our things, the Polaris vehicle was waiting for us as instructed, our two sons made a few trips back and forth to the house with all of our things. The rest of us walked to the house. It was a rainy day, so the road to the house was quite muddy and mosquito-y, as expected, we were prepared and wore the proper shoes and bug spray. It was an adventure, we were on a wooded island, we were excited to walk the road to the house to experience the island for the first time. When we arrived at the house, we were taken back by its beauty & how well equipped it was. It was perfect. The view is something we will miss for a very long time. The only issue we had was that the refrigerator & freezer had some left over food in it. We had to empty the fridge & clean inside. We are not fans of using left over food & condiments; plus we had a lot of food to put away, a family of 6 adults for 7 days. This left us with a large bag of food trash on our first day. We took it to the resort the next day to dispose of it. Because there is no dishwasher, we found some of the cookware needed a good cleaning, so we took care of that while we were getting settled & organized. We enjoyed all aspects of the house and its comfort; & the beautiful island as well. We had many days of roaming the island's woods and sparkling rocky coastline, made delicious meals and cocktails enhanced by the view. We enjoyed the 2 little sandy beaches & waded in crystal clear water. Absolutely beautiful. Our 2 dogs enjoyed exploring too! We enjoyed the deck every day & evening, the sunset magical. The tap's filtered water was good. Great getaway!!!
The house and the location are beautiful. The perfect getaway from the city. The view from the living room and deck are spectacular for sunsets and stars. Plenty of room for cooking and eating and the beds are super comfortable. Popham Beach, just 10 minutes away, is beautiful. Don't overpack, makes it much easier for the boat rides and ATV trips to and from the house. The staff at the resort are friendly and helpful. The WiFi is good enough to check email but spotty enough to tell work you didn't get the email ;) It's a great escape for kids and teenagers to be outdoors and off devices. Stephen, the host, is great, welcoming, and attentive. Phil, the property manager, is super helpful and friendly. With only 6 houses on the island, we saw other people only a few times. This is the perfect getaway from the world to rest, recharge, and reconnect.
Overall this was a fabulous property. Comfortable beds, great views, lots of privacy. Some things weren't communicated well though, prior to our arrival. Since we had to rely on the resort to transport us back and forth, we were not told how to call them from the dock (walkie talkie located in the house), the information about the very rough road was located inside the house, so getting to the property via the ATV was a bit of an adventure, and we had no idea there was a property manager who was available until the day after we arrived when I happened to meet him on the dock. All of this would have been nice to know in advance. Also, I agree with a previous reviewer, that if the wood stove was not available for use, why have it in the photos? That is misleading.
Our party included myself, my partner, my son (5), my parents, and 2 lively dogs. We had a wonderful time. The house and setting are gorgeous. The island is sparsely populated with friendly people (and dogs, and wildlife). The waters are calm and good for swimming and boating. The rocks are fun to climb and explore tidepools. The LEGOs were perfect for my son. We had lazy days with excursions to explore the island or swim/snorkel at the small sandy cove beach, punctuated with calm time with LEGOs or reading books on the deck overlooking the water. We only went to the mainland twice (for ice cream, and for fresh lobster and fish to cook - yum!). The owner was very responsive to my questions, and everything was as expected, with a few extra touches besides. We brought a canoe with a trolling motor and explored nearby islands too. Things to be aware of: the Polaris ride to the house is an adventure (a highlight for my son!). The water from the filter tastes fine, and we drank it all week. The bugs could be nasty in the middle of the woods at certain times of day, but they were responsive to bug spray and usually not bad on the deck.
