This is, from start to finish, a home. We loved every single inch of it and enjoyed our week fully. We were lucky to get there early and the owner was still there, along with the property manager, they both could not have been nicer and very attentive. The place is secluded but not in the middle of nowhere, although you can sit for hours (and we did) on the back porch and just watch the ocean. The house itself is amazing, lots of space, it was made for large groups, but it was only five of us, and it felt very homey. It has everything you could want. Fire pit with a swing over grill, all the amenities, walkable rocks, plenty of beds, showers, bathrooms and oh, yeah...a fireplace in the kitchen...on the counter. The owner told us to give it a try, we were not going to but the first morning was chilly so we did...and then had one every morning! The area is good to explore, near a wonderful beach, Bath and The Maritime Museum (great for kids). We found some great restaurants, and if you don't mind driving a little, you can find even more. If we decided to go back to Maine in the future, we are getting this place. It is just a wonderful home that will make you comfortable from the second you get there and will help your whole family to relax. We felt very lucky to have found it, it really felt like the kind of place your friends own and never rent but let you have it for the week. Just absolutely great.
