Peregrine House is situated on a quiet road in a peaceful location with a lovely view of the bay and gorgeous sunsets. There is easy access to the town of Castine and the house is a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed swimming. The house was well-equipped. The beds and living area were comfortable. Mary Lou was responsive to our questions and needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our family of eight adults and two kids had a wonderful time in Castine! The house had a lot of amenities and was close to the town with boat launch and to a beach in walking distance. We visited Bar Harbor and Acadia national park but make note it is about an hour and a half drive. We checked out the Fort Knox in Bucksport and went to the top of the bridge tower. Mary Lou was very easy to get in touch with. Castine is a very historic town with a wonderful museum. We also got lobsters to cook at the house from Eaton’s boat yard at a great price. If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing, reading, swimming, having a lobster bake of your own and watching amazing sunsets, this is the place to go. if you want to be busy with shopping and lots of site seeing activity, you might want to stay closer to a bigger city.

The property location was lovely and peaceful. The main level of the home, loft, enclosed porch were very nice. I traveled with my husband, my sister, brother in law and their adult daughter. They stayed in the “lower level” bedrooms and really felt like they were in a basement despite the door leading outside. They ended up buying a blow up mattress and slept on the main level because of spiders and the overall atmosphere on that level. For what we paid for the week, we expected better. This is really a place for a couple and small child. With some updating, it could be a beautiful spot for a larger group such as ours. I was hesitant to write this but wished we had been made away of the lower level arrangements. We did let Mary Lou know as well.

7 of us, ranging in age from 7 to 72, spread out on all three floors, but watching the sunset from the screened porch or deck was truly spectacular and loved by all. The girls adored climbing on the rocks and kicking the soccer ball. We all enjoyed strolls to the public beach, feeling the wind rustling through the trees, flowers nestled throughout the property, and picking ripe red raspberries. Just a note to future renters: We loved having 3 bathrooms! The owner, Mary, was always reachable when we had questions. We could tell this home had been treasured by her family for a long time. There were definitely tears when we took a farewell look at the waves and sky. Memories were made in this oasis by the sea.

Relaxing, wonderful stay. If you're looking for peace and quiet and a chance to get away from it all, this is the place. It is 45 minutes to the nearest lobster pound, Belfast or Camden and about an hour away from Acadia, but still easy enough to do day trips. The house was very clean and owner was responsive and helpful. Check-in was easy and we quickly made ourselves at home. It is a nice balance between a modern Maine home and quaint cottage to give just the perfect Maine-getaway feel. The sunsets are also beautiful to watch from the wraparound deck.

This had everything we were looking for. Heavily used the fleet of kayaks, the campfire, and the nearby beach just a two minute walk away. We enjoyed the open concept main floor for congregating.
