A wonderfully comfortable home at an incredible location, with an amazingly beautiful sunset view. This was our second time staying at Peregrine House, and we had another great week in Castine ... enjoying cooking, relaxing, nearby hiking, walking to the beach and for coffee and fresh bread in Castine. We plan to return again next year. Thank you!

4th of July Family Holiday

We had a wonderful stay at the lovely Oceanfront Home overlooking Penobscot Bay. The house and deck and screened in porch was very comfortable for our family. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and the easy access to all that the area offers.

Lovely time seaside

This oceanfront home was the perfect landing spot for our family. The kids used the kayaks and explored the coast. We lounged on the large deck, caught a couple amazing sunsets, and played lots of card games. Location was central to all the things we wanted to do. Quiet neighborhood. We had a lovely time.

Heaven on Earth

My husband and I selected this property for the location and amenities that perfectly suit our needs with our dog. The pictures of the property do not do it justice, it is super comfy and simply stunning. The only drawback was no A/C but my understanding is this is being added.

Lovely view and sunset

Peregrine House is situated on a quiet road in a peaceful location with a lovely view of the bay and gorgeous sunsets. There is easy access to the town of Castine and the house is a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed swimming. The house was well-equipped. The beds and living area were comfortable. Mary Lou was responsive to our questions and needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect!

My family spent 4 nights in this fabulous home and we had a great time. This was our first visit to Maine and it exceeded our expectations. Our hosts did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable, which we greatly appreciated. The location was perfect and the views, especially the sunsets were lovely. The home was large, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything for indoor and outdoor enjoyment and relaxation. We would highly recommend this property and would love to return in the future.

Peaceful and beautiful location

Relaxing, wonderful stay. If you're looking for peace and quiet and a chance to get away from it all, this is the place. It is 45 minutes to the nearest lobster pound, Belfast or Camden and about an hour away from Acadia, but still easy enough to do day trips. The house was very clean and owner was responsive and helpful. Check-in was easy and we quickly made ourselves at home. It is a nice balance between a modern Maine home and quaint cottage to give just the perfect Maine-getaway feel. The sunsets are also beautiful to watch from the wraparound deck.

exceptional location and accomodations

A most wonderful time at Peregrine cottage. We drove to Ellsworth and Deer Isle, as well as to Bucksport and the observatory. Plenty of time to enjoy the sunsets and relax. The house is very comfortable and quiet, with a short distance to the center of Castine, and restaurants, as well as driving through the quaint little village. Thanks so much for providing a special week...Leo Martin-Joyce Martin-Donna and Paul McNamara

Peregrine House

Incredible view, cozy, immaculate house located in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. There is a lot of love the was put into Peregrine House to make it as special as it is. The house is spacious enough that 8 people weren’t bumping into each other, we were all comfortable and in awe of the view the entire time. I loved how it was almost hidden from the road but then the property opens up to a large yard right on the bay.

Great time at Peregrine house in Castine!

Our family of eight adults and two kids had a wonderful time in Castine! The house had a lot of amenities and was close to the town with boat launch and to a beach in walking distance. We visited Bar Harbor and Acadia national park but make note it is about an hour and a half drive. We checked out the Fort Knox in Bucksport and went to the top of the bridge tower. Mary Lou was very easy to get in touch with. Castine is a very historic town with a wonderful museum. We also got lobsters to cook at the house from Eaton’s boat yard at a great price. If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing, reading, swimming, having a lobster bake of your own and watching amazing sunsets, this is the place to go. if you want to be busy with shopping and lots of site seeing activity, you might want to stay closer to a bigger city.

Amazing waterfront home

7 of us, ranging in age from 7 to 72, spread out on all three floors, but watching the sunset from the screened porch or deck was truly spectacular and loved by all. The girls adored climbing on the rocks and kicking the soccer ball. We all enjoyed strolls to the public beach, feeling the wind rustling through the trees, flowers nestled throughout the property, and picking ripe red raspberries. Just a note to future renters: We loved having 3 bathrooms! The owner, Mary, was always reachable when we had questions. We could tell this home had been treasured by her family for a long time. There were definitely tears when we took a farewell look at the waves and sky. Memories were made in this oasis by the sea.

Loved the property cannot say the same for cleaning. Owned an island vrbo property for many years so know that things don't always work out the way you like. But after a long 12 hour travel when my wife and I awoke and realized the brown spots on the sheets were human excrement it was just too much!When we went to the closet for fresh sheets they were bunled in a ball and also not clean.In master bath areas which have not seen cleaning in quite some time.Great house but zero stars for the unacceptable sheets issue.

Review

The property location was lovely and peaceful. The main level of the home, loft, enclosed porch were very nice. I traveled with my husband, my sister, brother in law and their adult daughter. They stayed in the “lower level” bedrooms and really felt like they were in a basement despite the door leading outside. They ended up buying a blow up mattress and slept on the main level because of spiders and the overall atmosphere on that level. For what we paid for the week, we expected better. This is really a place for a couple and small child. With some updating, it could be a beautiful spot for a larger group such as ours. I was hesitant to write this but wished we had been made away of the lower level arrangements. We did let Mary Lou know as well.

Never have had complaints about the lawn level floor. Never got an answer ca. How many spiders they were talking about. There were option to place the individual who claimed a phobia about spiders to sleep in another area. These are also the same guests who seemed very unhappy because the Bosh washing machine broke and I had to buy a new one . It took a few days. They said they didn't bring clean clothes with them and had to go to a laundromat. I also bought a new dishwasher.
