This house has everything you might need, with an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen. Lots of room for everyone, comfortable beds and easy entertainment options. McCloon's seafood shack is a 3 minute drive and offers excellent seafood, including the best crab cakes we've ever had, and key lime pie that's fabulous (also the whoopie pies). Camden to the north is a lovely harbor town. Acadia is a nice day-trip, as are the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (our favorite). We even found an escape room place for a really hot day, in Rockland. Plenty to explore right in front of the house, too. The host, Chris, has a separate apartment at the base of the building, but we hardly knew she was there. She texted when she had a question and never intruded. Watching the mist/fog roll in from the bridge nearby was magical.

We enjoyed the immaculate condition of this thoughtfully built home. Spectacular kitchen, very well equipped., fantastic master shower. The owners who were living downstairs were very nice, but due to their proximity the noise from their unit woke us up very early on occasion. Also heavy street noise from well traveled road behind house.

The property is located on a private road owned by the host and added to the tranquil environment. The property allowed for all the outside beauty to be enjoyed while inside with a view of the ocean from each room. The décor was so calming and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, if we chose to make meals vs going out. I would say the best part of the property was the location. We especially loved waking up before 5 am to view the vibrant sunrises right outside our windows. We spent numerous hours searching for shells and “treasures” as I call them on the secluded beach. We watched the lobster boats collecting their catches throughout the week and the wildlife always offered a show no matter what time of day. We ventured out to Rockland and Camden (two ports just North of us) and enjoyed the boating and sailing trips available as well as the local restaurants. You do not even have to leave the island if Seafood is what you are in the mood for. McLoon’s is just a minutes’ drive. I loved the fact that they keep the lobsters in the ocean water until needed. When we were there, a staff member hauled a lobster crate from the bottom of the ocean floor to collect lobsters for peoples’ orders. If you are into hiking, there are plenty of beautiful trails, mountains, and lighthouses to explore. The week we spent here was one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had. We look forward to returning next year.

Beautifully appointed home snuggled on an island, right in front of the ocean! The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular and the views from the 2 decks were amazing. This property is located just far enough out from town that you will appreciate all it has to offer. Camden and Rockland are just a stone's throw away not to mention all of the quaint harbors in between. Booth Bay is about 40 minutes down the coast, which we highly recommend to visit. Bar Harbor is about 1 and 1/2 hours away, not my pick because it's a tourist trap and very busy. All of the places we went to eat were excellent. Portland and York are only 2 hours away and LL Bean is right between both of them. The owner of this property, Christine, was very accommodating, kind and helpful being our tour guide, knowing the area very well, she recommended places to eat and visit. Just a walk over the little bridge, about 1/4 of a mile up the road is a great place to get lobsters right out of the ocean! All of the lobster boats go out daily and will sell them to you to go cook them in the beautiful chef's kitchen inside of the home. She even has pots to cook the lobster in! As a matter of fact, there's everything you need in her kitchen, right down to the silverware. So if you're looking for a beautifully appointed home, that is affordable, with stunning views, look no further. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Christine for being an amazing host and letting us stay in your home. We were the first people to stay at your home, and hopefully this will be an annual visit for all of us.
