Our vacation week was described by one of the locals at the grocery as "the worst fog we have had since 1973," however, we had a fantastic week in spite of the fog and occasional rain. The water was cold at 55 degrees, but our 4 teenage grandsons swam and fished every day. The water is crystal clear. There is soft sand on the beach, but also a lot of smooth interesting stones and rocks. Good water shoes made walking comfortable, and the chilly water was quite refreshing! The house is as beautiful as it appears in the pictures. We spent a lot of time in the sunroom playing games and listening to music. There is a nice sound system to which we easily connected our iPhones and there is a big screen TV that, in spite of the weather, we never used. If you love to read, you will find multiple sites in the house to sit and relax with a good book. The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners provide a huge pot for lobsters to cook outside. Highly recommend Mother Shuckers for fresh lobster! One of the highlights of the week was watching bald eagles around the pond area. One day we saw an eagle swimming across the pond. Hard to believe, but it looked like it was doing the breaststroke. It pulled itself up onto a sandbar, and clearly had something caught in its talons that turned out to be an unfortunate bird. It was quite something to watch. Enough said about that... We had a wonderful week in spite of the weather so please don't hesitate to book this beautiful place!

A wonderful waterfront home. Charming & beautifully appointed. Perfect for a family vacation. Pascal & Florence were excellent hosts - smooth process & prompt communications. If you're looking for a peaceful oceanfront home near Jonesport - this is the place !!

We’ve been traveling to the Downeast area for 11 years and this was by far our favorite place we’ve rented. The house was spotless and absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the private beach and watching the birds bathe in the pond. We definitely would love to visit again.

Perfect place for a memorable family vacation. The home was spotless upon arrival, well appointed, and exactly as described in the listing. Could not have asked for anything more. Enjoyed watching the lobster boats go by, the beach, paddling our kayaks, exploring nearby hiking trails, and relaxing with a drink on the point. Will definitely plan to come back.

We had a lovely time at the house this past week. The property is a lovely old restored home in a tranquil setting that is both oceanfront and pond-front (is that a word? Lol!) The private beach is a short walk down the back yard path, which is a beautiful natural meadow filled with wildflowers and even some wild blueberries. We could sit for hours in the Adirondack chairs, just birdwatching and watching the ocean. Jonesport is a tiny town, but it was close enough for day trips to Lubec (Easternmost spot in US), Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. Florence and Pascal we’re very attentive, and the house is very well stocked and comfortable. Thanks for a great trip!

The outside, beach & views were beautiful! What was unpleasant were the moth balls all throughout the house. The smell of them were so strong & made us both sick. Really bad headaches, nausea & dizziness. Also the stress of going all around the house trying to find them. The house had a lot of charm but needs updating in the bathrooms & kitchen. It would have been nice to not have carpet upstairs & tile instead. The upstairs window had no screen in it, which made the bathroom very steamy for showers. We found a small screen you have to put in by hand in the closet but it was very inconvenient. Also during our stay it was very hot & humid especially sleeping upstairs & there were no ceiling fans or window fans to use. A Mitsubishi split would have been nice too for cooling. There was no shade outside perhaps an umbrella or retractable awning would have been nice. The positives were the views, location, the private beach to walk & the delicious local seafood, also the hand book for the house was helpful with information on nearby things to do. The bottle of wine left for us was thoughtful & nice.

Wonderful property, exactly as advertised. 1 hour drive to the Winter Harbor ferry that takes you to Bar Harbor and 1 hour drive to the Eastern Most point in the US. This is definitely life in the slow lane, which is exactly what we were looking for. Plenty to do if you wish to venture out, and tons of quiet, beautiful, ocean scenery if you just want to lay low. Thank you Florence & Pascal!

This home definitely lives up to the pictures!! It is so beautiful and spacious! You CANNOT beat these views! This was our first time to visit Maine and can’t imagine staying anywhere else. We loved going down to the beach every day during low tide and finding beautiful seashells and rocks! The town was small and everyone was so friendly!! We went down to the wharf and bought fresh lobsters, which were amazing! We visited Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and other places that weren’t a far drive at all from the house! Pascal and Florence (the owners) were so nice and responsive to any of our needs! We would definitely stay here again and will be back! Thank you Pascal and Florence!

This is a lovely house that had everything we needed. Our group of six happily sat enjoying the views from multiple seating areas and enjoyed sunrise from the private beach. We enjoyed fresh fish and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy meals. It would take weeks of hiking to go to all the trails in the area each hike we did had well marked trails and amazing views. Nothing compares to downeast Maine.

Marvelous in every way. We have been to Maine several times in years past and have never found such a perfect location. The house was beautiful and situated on a private picturesque remote location in the heart of a lobstering port. There were no tourists except our family. The house was spotlessly clean, well equipped and decorated comfortably. We couldn't have asked for more. The hosts were kind and helpful. We hope to return next year.

We had such a relaxing experience here. We took advantage of many nearby hiking opportunities, like Bold Coast trail and Acadia National Park. The beach attached to the property was also a highlight for our family. We would definitely stay again.

This beautiful home on the ocean has a private beach and all of the amenities you may need for a relaxing stay. Lots of places inside and out to sit and enjoy the magnificent view. Florence and Pascal were communicative and helpful during our stay. Highly recommend this special property.
