Property is nice but needs some updating such as bathroom in bedroom next to kitchen needs better light and larger mirror. Also doors are old but some need to be sanded for better closure.

Beautiful location of an old historic house. Wonderful views from the bedrooms which were adequately furnished. The showers were disappointing however . Showers were small and some were not very clean. It’s a old house and the associated issues were not surprising. The house was more than adequate for our family of 11. Mr. Walter was very helpful and prompt in addressing a water leak during our stay. We enjoyed our stay in that part of Maine.

We had a very nice stay. Ben and Shawn were very available when needed, very prompt to respond to requests and excellent to talk with. The beach is across the road as others mentioned, wasn’t a problem for us, however keep an eye on the little ones. The cars move fast. Ben had fantastic recommendations, we tried many of them because we wanted to avoid all the hustle and bustle, every last recommendation was spot on. The house was built over 200 years ago, so you need to keep that in mind. Rich in history I am sure. We talked many nights around the dining room table about what life would have been like on the property in the 1800’s. We really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you for the fantastic hospitality.

The location of this property was perfect for us. We wanted easy access to a sandy beach and proximity to Acadia and natural areas. We loved having seafood on the wharf in the nearby village without crowds. Our grandchildren played in the water and on the rocks endlessly . The 9-bedroom house has a large, restaurant-style kitchen with 3 fridges, which accommodated us well. The house is old and thus can have problems old houses have, but the owner is responsive. We sometimes experienced interruptions with internet service, which could be due to the provider. We felt the location and surroundings made this a good choice for being outdoors in the best of coastal Maine.

We had a great time

We had a wonderful week at the sea captains house. The house itself is big and well appointed for a large group like ours. The restaurant style toaster and coffee maker were a big plus for breakfast! The bedrooms and bathrooms are a bit shabby and could do with an update but they suited our needs just fine. Ben was helpful with information about the area and left a lovely cobbler for us on the first night. He stopped by the house more often than most rental hosts I’ve had in the past. The nearby beach is stunning with lovely rocks to climb on and tide pools to explore in addition to swimming. I didn’t realize when we booked that it was across a road which made it a bit trickier to just let the kids roam. But the natural beauty of the place more than made up for it! As a heads up, one of our guests was in a wheelchair and while there is a ramp into the house, it was a pretty tight squeeze getting around inside the house and the porches were a step down which made them a hard to navigate. This was ok for us because we had a lot of people to help with lifting the chair in and out but it’s something to keep in mind if accessibility is an issue. Overall we had a nice week in a beautiful part of Maine.

My family & I loved the house & the location! Beautiful views, easy to get to hiking & biking. Loved that everyone had their own bathroom!

The location of this place was great for the activities we wanted to do nearby. It is a beautiful property with an old farm home feel. We loved all the bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The kitchen had an abundance of dishes, glass ware, and utensils, great for our large family of 14. While some of the cupboard doors and kitchen drawers were hard to pull open because of age. This didn't pose a problem for us. The industrial gas stove was had multiple burners and huge oven, plus it had a grill we could use on top of it. There was a large dining room table. The living room had multi seating. The side porches had several chairs for enjoying the views. There was a separate building that was a wonderful library. Do note the bell windchime by the door entering the library. It is locally made at a shop about 10 minutes away. There is another smaller one located near of the entrances inside the house. There were plenty of parking places. The owner was very nice and responsive to all communications. He even came over and put up a croquet set for the kids to use. He also provided a list of activities we could do while in the area which was very helpful. Our whole family loved the beach! Both for swimming and exploring. We loved climbing the rocks on both sides of the cove and finding little creatures and rock treasures in some of the pools. The picture of the property was taken from the rocks to the side of the beach cove; thus, it doesn't show the road that needs to be crossed to get to the private beach. This road is paved and there isn't a lot of traffic on it. However we were surprised the private beach wasn't directly on the property per se. We actually drove by the property the first time driving to it because the picture didn't show a road between the house grounds and the road that we had to cross to get to the path to get down to the beach. I almost gave 4 stars to the accuracy of the online listing. But because the walk wasn't far, nor difficult, and the beach and rocks were truly wonderful for the whole family, I decided to give the five stars for accuracy of online listing. Our family loved being here! Thank you!!

Some enjoyed the old fashionedness of the house and that there were two different ways to get to her room. The location was wonderful and the 14 days of ideas was super helpful. We all helped devour the delicious berry rhubarb pie. We left some food we didn't use hopefully you can give it to someone to use
