Spacious Luxury Retreat on 2 Acres - Beach, Dock, Kayaks & A/C

great place for a family vacation

Lovely cabin with lake access. The space was large enough for our multi family trip and host was responsive to the issues that arose. You can not see the canal from the house like the pictures somewhat depict. We had a great time regardless and absolutely loved Sebago Lake.

Beautiful house- it was perfect for a family reunion. Many bedrooms with 2 cots and multiple couches to accommodate everyone. Decks on 2 levels were great for group dinners. There are 2 kitchens, well stocked with everything you could want, including cooking tools for the gas grill. Large grassy lawn that was great for games. Used the fire pit several nights. Good AC for the couple of hot days. Easy 5-7min walk to a private beach for the neighborhood. Small but we were the o ly people there each day. The water is pristine, the kids loved jumping from rocks submerged in the water. We brought our kayaks, there are 2 kayaks and a canoe at the house as well. There is a floating dock in the canal next to the house for easy launching. Spotty cell phone service at the house (WiFi works great) but recommend writing down the lock box code before you get there.

Overall this house is awesome for a large group. We had up to 14 people stay in the house. Bedrooms are spread across 3 floors for plenty of elbow room. The common areas on the 1st and 2nd floor and the huge 2nd level deck let everyone hang out together or in smaller groups. And there are 2 kitchen on the 1st and 2nd floors.Communicating with the owner is easy, and she is quick to respond. Got a big group? Then book this big house.

10 members of my family stayed here in July 2024 and it worked great. Each family had their own level with bedrooms and bathroom. We were concerned about our boat in the canal, as the water level was quite low, but it ended up working out fine. If you are visiting this property later in the summer, note that the water level tends to be low in the canal. Outdoor areas and fire pit were great. Texted quite a bit with the host and she was responsive and super helpful. Would def rent this house again!

This is my second time staying at this house with my extended family. There are three of us, my parents (the grandparents), my sister and her family with two young kids, and my family with 3 young kids. We each had our own floor with our own bathrooms, which was amazing. Communication was excellent-we had two minor issues and Alicia responded quickly and had a handyman there the next morning to fix them. No complaints here! Would definitely stay again.

This is our second visit to Shimmering Cove. We really appreciated the air conditioning added since our previous stay. Big home had a great wrap around deck for morning coffee and outdoor barbecues. Big lawn was great for games. The water was just a short walk from the house and had a swim dock. The fire provided a relaxing end to the day. I would have liked more towels than one per guest. We would stay again.

We stayed with a few families, all with young children, and it was incredibly comfortable and homely. We rented a boat for the week, so the adjacent dock in the canal was perfect! Easy in and easy out to Sebago. There was tons to do, whether taking a short walk to the private beach, bike rides, hiking Douglas Mountain, or a short drive to the Naples Causeway for some fun. Highly recommend and would definitely rent again!

House and yard were very large, kitchen was extremely well stocked, dock was convenient for boat access, nearby beach (walking distance) was quiet and peaceful. Would certainly recommend for a relaxing family vacation!

Perfect house for our week long family reunion. The house is adjacent to a large lake with plenty of space to park. Every room has its' own air conditioning unit, which we had never experience it in Portland, Maine. Kitchen was fully-equipped. The owner, Alicia, went above and beyond to make sure our family felt at home. The communication was excellent.
