Spectacular Oceanfront House on Maine Coast

This house has absolutely everything you could want, so well eqipped and gorgeous ocean views. Very special old well kept up house so beautiful inside and out. Owner provides lots of information too!

Farleigh is absolutely beautiful!! My family and I had a wonderful time. The house is amazing and was fully stocked for all our needs. The location is awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay....wish it was longer!!

The perfect place to spend a week with good friends.

We loved staying at Farleigh. Every detail was perfect in the house. The views off the patio made every evening a spectacular show of crashing waves, shimmering moon and dramatic sky. We even saw a full rainbow after a brief shower. The flowers and garden were beautiful as well and expertly maintained with lovely paths down to the rocky beach. The house was comfortable and decorated elegantly yet livable with a well stocked kitchen and comfy den with streaming TV and high speed internet connection . Peter was a fabulous host and answered all our questions. The history of the home and property make it a special place and we were so happy to be able to share in that history. Orrs Island had a great kayak rental place and cute lunch spot. Would recommend renting a kayak rather than using the one at the house, especially if you are less experienced. Brunswick had everything else anyone might want. We hope to visit again.

This secluded ocean-front property was the perfect venue for a family reunion -- five senor sisters, two significant others, and a female cousin meeting up for a family memorial service for our aunt and uncle. The property really does have almost almost anything you might need for cooking and socializing: tons of kitchenware including serveware, ample linens, and even a larder/pantry with some kitchen staples like coffee and sugar and spices. The beach is a bit perilous (slippery seaweed-covered rocks) for seniors and the unlit private road (with flying deer on occasion) a little iffy for night drives, but the views and art-filled historic house -- including a beautiful strawberry moon rising over the waves -- are balm to the soul. Our stay was affected by a covid outbreak -- eventually eight of the eight housemates caught the virus from one of our own coming in from California, which meant some major changes to our plans including cancellation for flights and new cross-country road trips -- but that was NOT the fault of the landlord or their beautiful property. (Happy to say that all of our covid-19 symptoms to date are mild -- like a very bad cold combined with walking pneumonia in my case -- and we seem to be slowly recovering.) Worth noting that the sea kayak is a one-person one and a little hard to maneuver and that you need to tote your garbage and recycleables to a nearby center, but neither were deal breakers for us. Groceries are available at a Hannaford up the road, as is an Urgent Care Center, God forbid you should need it! I should also note that all of us got lost using GPS getting there -- do ask Peter for explicit directions! I would love to rent this property again, despite our bad covid luck this time around.

Loved the quiet, private, end-of-road location. Sharing the beach was fine - the people renting next door were very friendly. Might be time to get new mattresses for the bedroom with two twins, and the twin on the third floor was too small for an adult. But we loved the deck and the ocean views! We even had some good luck fishing off the rocks in front of the house. Wonderful place!

This property was nothing short of magical. The house exceeded my expectations in every way. It was fully equipped with anything you could need for your vacation, and all of the rooms were more beautiful and comfortable than I could’ve ever imagined. The ocean front view was just amazing, and the private beach was perfect. We enjoyed the house so much and spent so much time looking at the beautiful view. I can’t recommend this property enough!! We would love to come back again someday.

This house was amazing!! The view was spectacular. The kids ages 7, 10,12 and 15 had fun taking the paths down the rocks, playing in the water, climbing on rocks and collecting shells. Fun at both low and high tides, more kelp than expected but a beach was a short drive away! The wrap around deck was great, spacious enough for everyone but we were still all together. The porch swing was everyone's favorite. Kitchen was organized and very well stocked! Had everything we needed. Dining room was spacious and great views while eating with family. Livingroom with fireplace was great for family game night. House had so many clever details and designs, every corner had something neat to discover. The bedrooms were perfect for our family of 10. Comfy beds, ample shelfs for clothing. The trundle bed was great for our little ones. The master bed had a secret room for kids to play. There were signs on the walls and kids drawings. This house is exceptional and exceeded our expectations. 6 stars out of 5. Perfect!! No one wanted to leave!

Our family stayed at Farleigh, the summer of 2020. It was beyond expectations and we enjoyed every moment of our time there. Our days started with coffee on the porch overlooking the ocean , then as hard as it was to pull ourselves away from the view we would spend the day, walking , hiking, biking and sailing. In the late afternoons we would reconvene for cocktails on the porch and prep for dinner in a well equipped kitchen . After dinner in the dining room, which had plenty of room for the eight of us , we would head back out to the porch to look at the stars, which are amazing!(We could see the Milky Way every night, and shooting stars) or head to the living room and light a lovely fire. Thank you to Peter our host for letting us stay in your beautifully cared for and loved home, it was truly a special time, Eileen

This is our third time renting Farleigh and it never fails to impress us. The view alone is enough to keep us coming back but the house is an added bonus. You feel immediately at home with plenty of space for everyone and old time charm. (But we always end up on the porch regardless!) A week never seems like enough here but we will take what we can get! Tara Sheeleigh
