We had a wonderful stay at Captain’s Cove! We got in on a pretty rainy day, but were so excited to find the sweetest welcome from Mike and Jessie - local goodies and a note made us all smile for sure. The house was very clean and inviting, great setup for our family of 6 also. The beds and linens were comfortable, and they even had really nice beach towels for our use. We didn’t use the kitchen a whole lot, but there was more than what you could need to cook some amazing meals. We enjoyed a family game/movie night in the basement one night and sat out under the patio lights another night - such a fun and relaxing end to our Maine vacation! And when we were leaving, Jessie was kind enough to meet us to make sure we had a good stay and enjoyed our first trip to Maine. Overall, Captain’s Cove was just perfect. Close, but not too close to Portland, as well as OOB for a day trip, and also the friendliest, most welcoming hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. Thanks, Mike and Jessie, for a great stay!

Family and friends were staying at Old Orchard Beach and we decided to join them last minute. We wanted to have access to quiet ocean beaches and enjoy quiet Maine, while also being able to quickly drive over to OBB and hangout. This house and location was perfect! We woke up early for sunrise meditation on the rocks and then brisk swims in the nearby neighborhood park/beach, and then a quick drive to OBB for afternoon surfing and family time. Also convenient to Portland where we spent a day exploring and hitting some great foodie spots. Neighbors were very friendly, roads lightly traveled and very walkable with families. The house is well cared for with a nice layout for our large family. The kids enjoyed sitting in the hammock and hanging out on the patio. We hit some local farm stands and markets for fresh fruit, veggies and eggs for making some great little brunches. One night we went out to the beach and watched all of the dozens of lighthouses and buoys flashing to ships across the bays and islands. One of our guests had to go home early for tennis tryouts, and the Portland Jetport is also super close. We were back to the house before she got through security. The teens kept saying, “when we make it big time, we’re buying a vacation house here, this place is so calm and peaceful.” For now, renting this house on VRBO is a great solution.

We were lucky enough to be Mike and Jessie's first guests at "Captain's Cove", and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The house was just as described, spotless when we arrived, and fit our group of 6 adults comfortably (sleeping separately). The kitchen was well-supplied for cooking, and the outdoor patio was great for grilling and hanging out. The neighborhood in Cape Elizabeth was quiet and beautiful, with some great scenic walks, and beaches a quick drive away (Mike left us a useful map of the area). And downtown Portland is only about a 15 minute drive as well. We had an awesome time and would definitely stay again! Thanks so much!
