    This is a lovely home with beautiful views of the water. The yard is large with pretty plantings and trees creating a private setting. We stayed here with family to celebrate a happy occasion and couldn’t have been more pleased with the inviting and beautiful decor and clean and comfortable surroundings. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed, and we enjoyed eating at the large dining table while enjoying a view of the water. The host was a pleasure to communicate with and was organized and thorough in giving information about our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

    Large complete kitchen with dishwasher great for large number of guests. Splits helpful but could use instructions for use. Rear deck with water view; furniture solid and heavy; but too large for us. Rear wooden stairs down to float too steep for us so not used, and not safe for children unless with an adult. Stairs to loft area bedroom and bathroom also too steep for us. Host very helpful. Beautiful sunsets!

    Lovely little house on the water. Nothing fancy, but a comfortable place with great water views.

    Enjoyed our stay. House cosy and warm. Situation is lovely with nice water views and easy swimming (even in October!). The area is great but be aware most things on the islands close by mid October. Well presented and stocked as a family home rather than casual rental. Might add some decent wine glasses! We would certainly consider a return visit from England.

    This home has a beautiful view, and only minutes away from great hiking trails. Very cozy and has everything that you might need. Great kitchen fully stocked with pans, spices, new refrigerator and a washer and dryer. The owner manager was hands on and easy to talk to. I highly recommend this VRBO.

    We loved our stay and it was a perfect base for exploring the area during the day, and returning for peaceful happy hour/reading times with beautiful sunsets from the back deck overlooking the bay. We were a three-generation family and having the main bedroom with en suite bath on the same floor as the living area was a great plus for anyone concerned about ease of mobility. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and all beds really comfortable. Beautiful location and easy driving distance to hikes or walks on the island or in Harpswell, and we loved heading to Boothbay for the day. One thing to note is there is no restaurant or anything really on the island, but within 10 min there are a few restaurants, ice cream shop.
