we had a fun and sweet stay that went too fast thank you for everything….
Our stay on Long Island Maine was perfect. Karen and her family were the most hospitable hosts, communicating throughout our travels and stay, greeting us when we arrived, and acclimating us to all the house had to offer. The house was a perfect set up for our family with 5 children and had more than we could ask for. We hope to come back!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karen, Jackie, and this entire property. It was a magical week for our family of grandparents, adult children, and grandkids. And so much needed. We arrived feeling a bit ragged around the edges and left feeling restored. We fell in love with Maine and Long Island. Karen and Jackie could not have been more welcoming and responsive. We are so grateful for our time here.
We had a fantastic time at the house! It was so nice that Karen and Travis met us at the ferry- they accompanied us to their home, gave us a tour, and answered any and all questions we had. The beach was so close and amazing! The large rocks in front of the house at the oceanside were loved by all the kids. Great climbing rocks! We had a great time exploring the tide pools. The village was wonderful, everyone in town was so friendly. Just a note- while the basement/bunk room has exterior stairs and an exterior door, there are no interior stairs to access from inside. We had the kids sleep down there and we hooked up a video monitor to peek in during the nighttime. That fixed our problem and the kids loved it down there! It was not a significant problem, just something to plan for. Thank you Karen and Travis for everything!
Our vacation to Long Island was absolutely what we all needed. Getting to the island takes a bit of coordination but is totally worth it. The location, home and island has everything, especially for all of our young families. The owners were easy to communicate with and clearly committed to us enjoying our time together. The beach is a rare find. The experience could not have been better. Many thanks!
Great place and great owners.
Fantastic and gorgeous property and place to unwind, unplug, to slow down and absorb the simplicity of being and island magic!
Our stay was very nice. The location to the beach was excellent, just a short walk, and good for the children to be able to run to and from the beach. The home was well set and stocked, and all went as we were told it would. The owners were great to work with. Nothing like Maine in the summer!
This was an amazing trip for a large group of family and friends. The property has arguably one of the best locations on Long Island and the layout with multiple houses made sleeping arrangements with a bunch of kiddos easy and enjoyable. Owner/s couldn’t have been more communicative, accommodating and easy to work with especially considering the ever-changing COVID regulations going into the rental. Long Island itself is super laid back, feels far away, even though it’s a quick boat ride from Portland and has two beaches that are postcard worthy. We would go back in a heartbeat.
