We had a wonderful stay here. Our family of six and varying nannies and grandparents spent three wonderful weeks here. The view truly cannot be described, and the house was cozily outfitted for everything. The owners were communicative and helpful, and check-in and check-out were a breeze. Highly recommended!
All ten of us loved this spacious, well appointed estate. There are spectacular views in every direction. My husband and I are senior citizens and we enjoyed the large bedroom with an adjoining bath on the first floor.
We enjoyed our stay. Our 2 families had plenty of space to enjoy the home. Owner was responsive and kind. Very quite neighborhood.
The home was beautiful with so much space. The furnishings were wonderful! They even had all the tools for us to use when we made lobsters at home! Walking distance to downtown. Highly recommend!
What a location! This classic Maine home with expansive lawn and breach access was great for our family vacation. We loved walking into town, watching boats and exploring the back shore.
Very good communication with owners. View and location cannot be beat. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. Fully stocked with anything you would need minus your own groceries. Home is older but that is it’s charm. House cleaning could do a bit better job on the easy stuff like under beds, and moving things to clean around more thoroughly. Owners are aware of issues that come with older homes and are working to address those. Our family consensus is we would stay here again.
