We had a lovely week in this waterfront home. We enjoyed the views and the kids loved playing on the rocks out back. It was a nice location and short walk to Hendricks beach and the General Store.
10.0 / 10.0
The house is overlooking the water so the view is great. Bathrooms and kitchen are well kept but show age. Sink space is small in both bathrooms. There is no dishwasher in the kitchen and tenants are supposed to clean the dishes themselves when they leave. This means the new tenants are at the mercy of the previous tenants. In our case some utensils had to be rewashed because of food stains. I think a dishwasher would help a lot.The house is big and can accommodate 8 people but there isn’t a big outdoor table for dining outside. Overall we had a lovely stay despite the issues mentioned above.
10.0 / 10.0
All 4 bedrooms were very nice and 2 of those were very large. Beds and bedding very comfortable. Kitchen is small, we didn’t plan on doing very much cooking so it was all we needed. It was a handy having a washer and dryer! Living room and dining areas worked well for our group of 5. Beautiful water views. Short walk to the beach and the general store and just a 12 min drive in to BoothBay Harbor.

This is a beautiful, quiet property. Amazing views from many rooms and the deck. The Adirondeck chairs on the water were heavenly. The mattresses and bedding were all high end and very comfortable. The kitchen was really well appointed. The decor was charming with lots of nautical themes. The owners were warm, welcoming and available. The walks to Hendrick's head beach were enjoyed by all.

This house is ideally located walking distance to Hendricks beach, Southport General Store and the Cozy Harbor restaurant. Such a magic spot and well appointed, comfortable home. It was amazing to wake up every morning and look out on the sea.

I loved this place! It had almost everything we needed and a lot of it was not called out in the listing. The rooms were large with plenty of space to lounge and dine. The view is gorgeous! I could have spent 2 weeks.
