Amazing Stay!

The check-in was easy, the host is lovely and responds quickly. The beautiful historic house is huge and with 3 floors, 6 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and a large deck adjacent to the 2nd floor kitchen, our family of eleven was very comfortable. There is a nice front yard and a large porch for many enjoyable evenings. The house is only a few minutes away from many beaches and the owner has thoughtfully provided all sorts of beach necessities for the guests to borrow.

Charming, Spacious Victorian

We spent several days with family at this lovely Victorian mansion in preparation for a family wedding. The accommodations were quite spacious with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and two kitchen areas, providing ample room for all of us (including two youngsters). The kitchen was well stocked and the house very clean. It is an amazing house, with quite a history, close to Saco and across the street from a beautiful park. The owner was super helpful and hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sealander House. It was the perfect spot for us to host a bridal shower. The space was open and bright and the second full kitchen was such an amazing help.

Ideal house for us!

The Sealander House was perfect for a get-away workspace for our non-profit board of directors to hold our retreat. There were plenty of comfortable places for us to gather, work, discuss, and connect. We were all able to have our own beds (all eight of us)! The house is light, bright, huge but still cozy, and ideal for us. In fact, we would love to come back again next year!

Beach Week

We had a great week at the Sealander. Our party of 16 included 9 adults and 6 children ages 18 months to 10 years. There was plenty of space for all. We enjoyed the front porch and yard as well as the living space inside. A/C was great. Plenty of parking for our 5 families. Mature plantings and trees provided privacy. Easy drive to beaches. Would definitely stay again
