We've been taking family vacations with VRBO every summer for the past 10 years, and this is one of the nicest houses we've ever rented! Although there were only 8 of us, this year, the Lazy Bully could have easily accommodated our 12-person maximum. Stylish and well-appointed, the house appeared brand new and the wide assortment of kayaks, paddle boards, and pedal boat meant options suited to everyone's abilities. Finally, the driveway was long and wide enough to easily accommodate our three cars, along with a full-size pickup truck and boat trailer.
Yes, we brought a 17-foot boat and moored it at the dock! The dock length and height were perfect for the boat, and allowed us to easily launch and recover the kayaks and pedal boat with our boat docked. We launched from the very convenient Raymond Boat Ramp (1.5 miles from the house, an easy 10 minutes by boat) and it was an unusually pleasant experience. The staff and other boaters were very polite, friendly, and patient with newbies. One word of warning: If you're bringing a boat from out of state, be sure to have a Class 4 throwable life preserver in the boat, and purchase a milfoil protection sticker (www.maine.gov) before your trip. The game wardens who informed us of the requirements were polite and friendly, but it would have been good to know beforehand.
All in all, the Lazy Bully was a fine place to spend a relaxing week with family!
