We showed up at the house with tons of character! It had all amenities but felt sticky and looked dirty. Unfortunately the temperatures were close to 90 degrees and this house has no A/C which is accurate in its list of amenities. However, there is zero ventilation with the stove which I think became a law requirement in rentals in Maine two years ago. We cooked lobsters and we found out why the house was sticky and felt like we were in a hot box. NO VENTILATION OVER STOVE! You can't cook. To top it off-my son is allergic to shellfish-anaphylactic shock type. I had 3 epidural pens and Benadryl with me. He started not to feel well and stayed outside. Beforehand, the rental company did bring us two fans-wonderful! But the more windows we opened bugs flew in by the droves. Several rooms became infested. We were having a wonderful time but would have to come back to this bug infested, unventilated, dirty cottage. We found some other place to stay and checked out early from our weekly rental. This house was terrible for hot weather and our circumstances. I have not heard back from anyone in regard to a partial refund-nothing. I would never rent this house until some changes are made. It was filthy! My teenage sons even remarked how bad it was. Cute house! You can tell the owners have worked on it to keep the character-which is impressive from the pics and in person. Its needs MORE TLC. It was not cheap either! There are better places to stay in Maine. Really disappointing&shocked!

Overall the house was very nice, clean and well supplied. Was disappointed that the lawn was not tended, and I had to sweep off the back porch on arrival, as it was covered with leaves, etc. The beach access was also too difficult for seniors, so we were unable to use it.
