Great location and wonderful hosts!

The shingle-clad Colonial style house is on a private lane set well back from a private beach on an expansive, beautifully landscaped lawn with several outdoor seating areas.

The house was spacious and very well-equipped. The flower gardens are even more beautiful in person than in the photos. We really appreciated the gathering spaces, especially the comfortable sitting area near the kitchen and the very large dining room table. The ocean breeze kept us cool and the soothing sound of the waves at night made for peaceful, deep and restful sleep.

My family stayed here with another family that we’ve been friends with for many, many years. We both have two children in the 3-6 year old range. When we booked the trip my only concern was the ocean and the fact that Maine tends to be rough water. Our children are still learning to swim so we didn’t know how that would work out. More on that later. Aside from that, the pictures made it look like a very special place, one that we knew would be well-suited for the 8 of us. The thing is there are just certain places that you must see in person to really understand how special they are, and this is one of them. I cannot emphasize enough just how special this property is. The lawn was well-cared for. The garden out back was beautifully appointed with mature flowers and shrubs. There were views of the ocean from almost every single room. Even if you couldn’t see it directly, you still heard that intoxicating sound of the waves crashing down on the beach. The house itself was older, but I have to imagine that is intentional. The furniture, pictures, even the bathroom hardware were all from a different time. A time when places like this were few and far between. The opportunity to stay in a home like this was essentially reserved for family and friends only. We didn’t spend much time inside, though our children loved entertaining us with their mini-shows on the built-in stage, which was apparently added to the house for that very purpose so many years ago. One thing that made us nervous was the lack of air conditioning (something all of us seemed to have overlooked when booking… so glad we did though!). Especially since it was one of the hotter weeks of the summer. However, the moment the sun went down the temp dropped and the perpetual ocean wind that passed right through the house made it the most pleasant environment to sleep in. I also mentioned being concerned about the ocean. The waves were rough at times but the depth was low so far out we knew the kids were safe. Overall, the trip was exactly what each of us needed, and that is the best way I can describe the property. If you want to relax, you can relax. If you want to swim, you can swim. If you want to drive around to the surrounding towns, you won’t run out of things to do. If you want to take strolls on the beach at low tide, then go out and stroll. It was the type of place where everyone’s ideal vacation could be fulfilled, and that is such a rare thing to find these days!!!

We loved the location, house and beach! The owners were helpful and gracious. If you are interested in the history of the Maine coast and its conservation land, it is a must see.

The home is located at the end of a long private road on a private beach. It has it's own stage (with curtain) as part of the main living room area. It's an old home with excellent updated features. We had two small families and fit well. We like to surf and boogie board, so the convenience of being right on the beach was perfect. We were worried about having only one indoor shower for two families, but it was never a problem - as the outdoor shower was great after the beach. We had great meals at Bandaloop and Allisons and cooked a few meals. Outdoor seating area buy the beach was great. Thanks.

Wonderful, well kept home. Interesting history to the house and parsons beach. Beth was very easy to get in contact with. She was very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for a quiet Maine beach getaway.
