About this house rental

The house has amazing views and has access to a private sandy/rocky beach that is shared with neighbors. It is located on one of the the highest points on a quiet peninsula in South Bristol. The house overlooks Mcfarland's Cove on one side and John's Bay on the other.

The nearby town seems as if it has been ripped from the pages of story books. It is an authentic working lobster village with one of the oldest swing bridges in the state. It is a picturesque as it gets!

Become immersed in the Maine coast lifestyle! You will wake up to the sounds of seagulls and fishing boats that are off in the distance. You can buy just caught lobster on the nearby docks for the lowest prices imaginable. In the evenings watch the osprey hunt for fish in Mcfarland's cove. If you are lucky you might even see a bald eagle. If you like fishing and boating you will not be disappointed!

First the positives: it’s a beautiful home, great views, excellent location. We enjoyed the use of the house and decks! Close to many enjoyable hikes, and attractions. Negatives: the grill on the deck did not work! Thank goodness we love cooking inside and the weather was cool enough for us to cook indoors.. A larger family who wanted to save money and grill their food would’ve been Out of luck! The photos of the property suggest extensive privacy, however this house is located in an enclave of homes that have been owned by the same families for generations. While the families are nice, you are definitely the outsider. The homes are pretty close to each other where we were, and there was pretty much constant human traffic in front of the deck. So if you are looking for a little seclusion, this place is not for you during the summer months. As a “pet friendly” place, We brought our 2 dogs, who are not off leash dogs in an unknown open space. While they are certainly not dangerous dogs, they do not take too kindly to the constant visitation of the unleashed dogs that belonged to the owners of the house below ours, and they were certainly a part of our life whether we wanted them to be or not! They had no problem coming up onto the deck, the back yard, and outside the basement door. Since they’ve probably been at this house before with family, I assume they thought it was ok to roam here. Had I been aware of the unleashed open field policy of the dogs who live there for the summer, I wouldn’t have chosen the property for sure. Or, I would’ve opted to kennel my dogs for our vacation. I felt as if I had to look out and clear the way before I took my dogs for walks, before sitting on the deck, and pretty much any time we were at the house. Very stressful. Maybe we just rented at a really busy week, I’ll definitely take the responsibility of vacationing on a busy, family filled week, but the unleashed/random visiting dog thing is not ok to me. We definitely saw the dogs urinating and defecating on the lawn which we were responsible for cleaning up. Not cool. In closing, it’s really a beautiful home. If you plan on coming during a busy summer week, leave the dogs at home if your dogs don’t like random visiting dogs who live in the enclave for the summer or long periods of time. ! I wish we would have known that.

Our family loves this house & location so much--we came back again this year. Maggie (host) makes everything so easy, including check in/out and quickly responding to questions &/or requests. It's difficult for me to write a glowing review b/c I want to keep this place all to myself! But I have to be honest--it's wonderful.

Very poor experience - no arrival instruction, unable to reach owner, door locked on first level after waiting an hour went to 2nd level deck to find door unlocked, no info or welcome message, no linens on beds, dirty laundry in closet. No info on property or area. Suggest finding other location - will not return.

My husband and I had a great time. It was easy getting in touch with Maggie, and we had everything we needed. The only down side is that I didn't realize some things close up late September/mid October, so we didn't get to do some things I wanted. We don't usually vacation this late in the year, so lesson learned!
