Beautiful home. Can’t say enough about the location and cleanliness of this house. We went off season early May so can’t say it was busy but love the beach views and open large first floor for hanging out and having meals with friends. Pretty much everything you need is there.

Our family rented this home to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday, and it was everything we hoped for! We had family come from VA, FL, NV, and AZ. It was everyone's first time in Maine, and we felt like we were in a Hallmark movie. The house was very clean and in a perfect location. The local shops were charming. We loved the ocean views from the patio, and walking along the beach! Communication with the host was easy and responsive. I would definitely rent from them again. Highly recommend!!!
