The house is lovely and we enjoyed the view of Molasses Pond. The kitchen is well stocked and towels were clean and plentiful. As seniors and unfamiliar with Maine, the location is a bit remote although that seems to be common in Maine. We loved the house but the adorable second bedroom is obviously more suitable for children than a couple. One of us slept on the sofa which, fortunately, was comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.Susan responded immediately to our questions and we appreciated that. Thank you!

Very nice home

The home was very clean and close to the beach. The only issue was the full/queen size bed was very uncomfortable, so bad that my brother had to sleep on the couch. A comfortable mattress should be purchased. That is the only issue.

Saco Sanctuary - July 2025

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental home was beautiful and very clean. We were very comfortable during our stay. Great that it is located on quiet street and close to beaches. We loved the table set on the deck and enjoyed the fire pit nightly.We were looking forward to sitting on the balcony off the master bedroom, but the sliding glass door was not working and no furniture so we assumed it was in need of repairs. It also would have been nice to have a small A/C unit in the small bedroom as the ceiling fan was not able to keep it cool in the room. That said, the kids really did not care :)Overall this was a great place to spend a week in Maine in July - thank you!!

Great place to stay!

The communication with Costal Maine Vacations was great! Any question, any request was responded to within minutes. Solely, the guest screening was a bit difficult for a guest from Germany as an address was requested but there was no possibility to add an address in Germany. So I used my American friends' address. We really enjoyed the house and property. The place is just lovely, clean, very well equipped. I wished to have more time to stay. The only downside were some of the towels that smelled real mouldy. But we managed to get rid of the malodour by using the brand new washing machine and dryer. And we laughed out loud when we had read the departure instructions, a unique and great way to say goodbye.
