Beautiful views, well stocked kitchen, excellent host, would definitely stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay here. Charles is a very welcoming and helpful host. Great location- the property is about 5 min from Sandy River beach and 1.5 hr drive from Acadia National Park

Thank you very much to Charlie and Sandy, the house was perfect. It provided enough room for all 6 of us. The view was amazing, we enjoyed the fire pit. Getting to watch the sunsets was so relaxing. Charlie was a great host, checking in with us, making sure we had everything we needed. So friendly and kind, the true heart of Jonesport . I will be using his rentals again for upcoming visits for sure. And highly recommend staying here

We had an incredible time staying at this house in Jonesport, Maine. Charlie and Sandy are incredible hosts. The house takes advantage of the beautiful bay views. The new fire pit at waters edge is a great place to spend time watching the boats, birds and clouds. The house is well equipped with anything you need in the kitchen and has a beautiful deck where you can eat and hang out. If there is rain or cold weather, you can enjoy the views from the living room and Charlie’s built in bar. The lobsters were amazing and there were also delicious crabs! As awesome as the house is, the highlight of our trip was meeting Charlie and going on an excursion on his lobster boat to a beautiful beach that can only be accessed by boat and having seafood cookout on the boat. We also really enjoyed the beautiful areas to hike nearby and the quiet beaches. We prefer less crowded, quiet places to vacation and this was exactly that! We will return! We would give it 10 stars if we could.

This is our second visit with Sandy and Charlie. We again stayed 7 days. The house is a great old family home in which you can feel the love and see the crayon marks. It is even better than the photos. We had a family group of five adults. There was plenty of room. The house is clean, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well appointed, the WiFi is fast and reliable, and there is a TV in every room. There are two convenience stores around the corner and a Hannaford's in Machias, about a half-hour away. The temperature in August was 77. The sunsets are just awesome. Every night we ran outside with our cameras to capture the moment. We ate lobsters almost every day. We had the lobster feast that came with the rental, then we made lobster rolls out of the leftovers, then we bought some lobsters wholesale from Charlie's son's catch, and finally, Charlie took us out on the lobster boat, pulled a couple of traps, and cooked the lobsters onboard. We are looking forward to visiting Charlie and Sandy next year.

Charlie and Sandy were great communicators throughout the whole process. The pictures of the property and location were very accurate. We hope to rent from them again in the near future!

My family -- all from Maine -- now live in different areas of the country and were looking for a house on the coast to come together and spend some time during the summer. Charlie and Sandy's was the perfect place! The house is spacious and cozy. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck with beautiful views of the ocean. All of us slept comfortably. Charlie and Sandy were great communicators and the check-in process was seamless. Best of all, as other reviews have mentioned, was heading out with Charlie on one of the lobster boats -- an d of course, the lobster we cooked later that tonight. Truly can't say enough good things about this experience, and we're looking forward to returning next year!

The four bedrooms are spacious and the location on the water is terrific! The kitchen was well equipped and the living space is large and enjoyable.

The house is in a perfect location in a quaint little fishing town to explore many areas of Maine. Hiking on Beals Island is beautiful! The lobster cooking experience was a absolutely delicious and so much fun! The house has everything you need with a grocery store just up the road. Our host Charles Smith was very gracious and a great person to spend the afternoon with on his fishing boat. Thank you for sharing your home Charles, Sandy, Hannah, Charlie Jr!

We were lucky to be able to go out on Charlie's boat and see his crew harvest some traps. Unforgettable. Charlie, Cam, Hannah, and Dave - thank you for letting us tag along!

Charlie and Sandy were delightful hosts! They kept in contact with us, seeing if we needed anything. Charlie even took us on the boat to see the lobsters being taken in from the traps. We had lots of space and most everything someone could want or need! Great place! Great people!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Charles was an excellent host. He went out of his way to make us comfortable. He treated us to lobsters and a very interesting boating trip to show how lobsters are caught in the bay. The property was adequate for our group of 10 people. The house is little old but well kept. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and appliances. The location is peaceful, away from the bustle of crowded cities. We had amazing view of evening sunset from the wharf. overall we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. My best wishes to Charles and Sandy.

The owners were very friendly and right there to answer questions or if any need that came up. The view from the deck is breathtaking. There was plenty of space for all the kids and both families to have their own space.

The house is clean and nice. The kids enjoy the board games in the house on a rainy day. Thanks you for letting us stay in your house.

The house overall was very nice. The best part of the house is the view you get of the water is absolutely stunning. You have all the basic cooking ware needed to make a meal along with all the spices, but make sure you bring your own condiments/coffee. The owners were easy to communicate with as well.

Charlie and Sandy were great hosts! They were very helpful with providing all the information we need for the stay. They were prompt with al the questions that we have. The location is a bit remote but the house is clean and comfortable! It has everything that we need to prepare our dinners and to keep us entertained. The house also has a great ocean view. Never get sick of the view from the deck.

This is an eclectic house in a small little fishing village. The view of the bay is gorgeous. It was so peaceful to sit on the patio and just absorb the beauty. For us, it was a marvelous opportunity to see the fall colors of Maine and to completely get our fill of Lobster. Charlie was an amazing host and took us out on his Lobster boat. He also gave us a tutorial on cooking our "fresh caught Lobster" for dinner. AMAZING!! We will be back.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Charlie's and Sandy's, we had plenty of room for all 7 of us. The location is great for visiting all the area sites. We had a unique & unforgettable experience on the lobster boat. The children loved walking down for low tides each day. Our lobster feast was amazing. We were so blessed to have such a great Maine experience. Thanks so much to Charlie & Sandy for sharing their house, boat & time with us. We have wonderful memories to treasure.

We enjoyed our stay at this property so much. We had 4 couples in our group and we all were very comfortable staying there. Charlie and Sandy are great communicators and answered all of our many questions promptly. As others have said, the highlight was the trip with with Charlie to get a lesson in lobster fishing. What a feast we enjoyed with their expertise in how to eat lobster properly! Plan to bring in groceries (or buy at Manaford’s- the best option for groceries) when you get there or drive 30 mins to a restaurant. We loved our stay here and highly recommend this property!

We had a great stay at Jonesport. As grain farmers from Indiana, we really enjoyed our trip on Charly’s boat to harvest our dinner! Dave, Cameron and Charly told us all about their way of “farming” We realized we all have some of the same challenges as we put food on America’s plates! The house and accommodations were great. We would recommend this to anyone looking to get off the beaten path in beautiful Maine!

Great place to stay. Quiet area close to the water. Enjoyed the lobster boat ride. Very nice house. We were 10 people and did not feel crowded. Would definitely recommend this property.

good

We had a delightful stay. Charlie and Sandy are very nice, checked in on us to ensure we had everything. Communication before the trip was great, and the house was provisioned with everything we needed. Great Wass Island Preserve and other area hiking areas were very beautiful and made for great day outings. The fresh lobsters were delicious. We look forward to a return in the future when our daughter is older and able to appreciate an outing on Charlie's boat!

I have to admit that I was a little worried when I read all the other reviews about Charlie & Sandy. I'm all for friendly hosts but everyone was speaking so highly of them that I was afraid they were going to be around too much or something. I've rented many lake/shore houses in Maine over the years and I've never come away feeling like I should praise the homeowners - just review the house. I have to admit though, I left this week knowing that I had to praise Charlie & Sandy. Charlie and Sandy were great hosts. Sandy was very responsive to my questions before the trip and Charlie was very easy to work with for lobster delivery (and the boat ride to watch them pull lobster traps). Charlie & his crew continued to be wonderful hosts and representatives of Jonesport and Maine during our boat ride. I couldn't have asked for more! As far as the rental house goes, it was exactly as described and looked just like the pictures (maybe even better). The views from the deck and family room were fantastic. There are 4 bedrooms and also a landing area outside two of the bedrooms that has a cot (my giant almost 13-year-old said the cot was very comfy - mattress style cot not a camping style cot). The kitchen was well stocked with pots & pans, storage & serving dishes, etc. They had both a regular coffee pot & a Keurig machine. TVs in all bedrooms. Overall, the house was set up very well for families, extended families, or even groups that might want to retreat to their bedroom for a little downtime or TV watching at the end of the day. Our entire group from the 12-year-old to the grandparents enjoyed our stay. Thanks for a great week in Jonesport!
