Boundless Charm
Amazing cottage on the sea nestled in cove on east side of island. Exceeded all expectations with spectacular ocean views from 3 sides of the house. The waves crashing on those Maine rocks is my ideal. Sam is a very responsive host and delight. Will be coming back! Quintessential Maine experience
