Peaceful with pleasant views

My wife and I had a wonderful short stay (2 nights). The little touches and courtesy were appreciated. Clean and well kept interior and exterior. Welcoming outdoor spots on the patio or beach porch to enjoy the peaceful views of Penobscot Bay. If there is one small recommendation, that would be to upgrade the first floor bedroom mattress, which was overly soft and non-supporting. This would not preclude us from visiting again as the 2nd floor bedroom mattress is firm.

We did not want to leave!!! Everything we needed was there. The view is sooooo incredible and we loved the fire pit!! Having the washer and dryer was a plus. The stairs were just a bit of a challenge for the older siblings but soo worth the climb once inside. Having a bedroom on ground level worked out for us as well!! Definitely would book again!! Responses were fast and instructions great!! Thanks for a great visit!!

We enjoyed staying here. This was more than just a rental property - it was a home. The little things made the stay - from the bathroom and sink gift boxes to the additional toilet paper and trash bags. We did not have to shop for anything. The view was incredible. Our only suggestion -the mattress on the bed adjacent to the living room. It is fine for one but with 2 people, it is not supportive in the middle. This did not deter our stay though. Fabulous experience and would stay again
