Absolutely beautiful location. House was wonderful. Only issue is that the porch does not appear to be cleaned as often as the rest of the house and one of the screens in the porch is torn, which allows bugs to get in.

Lovely location with beach access
My husband and I stayed in this rental for a few days recently. We were looking for a peaceful property right on the water, “away from it all”. This property was perfectly adequate in most ways - the view is lovely, the beach access (for combing, NOT swimming - lots of weeds, kind of stinky) was enjoyable, the screened porch is a good touch. But there were a few things that could use improvement. The toilet in the main bathroom is not exactly connected to the floor, multiple sections of screen around the porch were torn so lots of bugs got in, and the cleanliness left quite a bit to be desired. The bath towels smelled clean but had multiple questionable stains, almost every wall had spots/stains/crud/scuffs, there were spider webs in the bathtub & around the kitchen sink & in most corners, the kitchen island was in serious need of attention (water damage?) and the entire house smelled mildewy and damp. Despite the cleaning concerns, we enjoyed our time and visiting the cute towns in the area.

Secluded and quiet, ocean view retreat
Gorgeous ocean view, secluded and peaceful location. Screened in porch on back of house is the best feature of this house. Surrounded by fields of wildflowers and butterflies with a mowed path to the water. A great place for creating art.
The house is plain, but well equipped. We had everything we needed, with exception of a functioning television, and no air conditioning (even though original VRBO listing showed both TV and AC). Pleased that our AT&T phones and WiFi worked though - especially after reading previous reviews.
We appreciated convenience of nearby Port Clyde (coffee shop, general store, Puffin boat tour, art gallery)
Would be nice to have some printed guides/recommendations/things to do, etc. in the house too.
A few negatives (all are fixable):
Beach access is blocked by piled up driftwood at the base of wooden stairs. Could not get to water’s edge at all!
All exterior doors (and slider screen door) have issues (swollen shut, rusted, locks don’t work, broken hooks, etc.). We could only use one door - next to the garage.
House appeared clean upon arrival, but we found many dead bugs (and some ALIVE) in kitchen, laundry room, garage, and in light fixtures. Mosquitos rule here in the evening!
A person came mid-week to mow the grass. All our windows were open (with screens in place), yet everything inside the house was covered with a fine dirt and dust - kind of a mess.

A new house with some old parts? We got in the house just fine with the key, but then we couldn't get the front door shut. It needed a body slam to close it. So we had to walk around back to use the slider to get in and out-- which didn't have a key. The shower head only worked on one setting, indicating it was used andclogged. And the kitchen cabinets had staining on them at the bottom as though they had gotten wet in a previous life. It was pretty obvious up against the brand new floor. It seemed like we might have been the first renters as we had a hard time trying to get the pull out couch to open-- then we discovered it was still strapped with plastic ties that needed to be cut off with a knife. And the mattress was still in a plastic bag. Our third person opted to just sleep on the cushions. It was disappointng to have the wifi down (even with a credit) because we were there on a work weekend. There should be a notebook of information-- wifi password, expectations, how to get the lamps synced with the switches? This place has a wonderful location and will get there. . . but there is work to be done. We liked the water color paintings!
