  I just can't say enough about the location. To be able to walk around the corner and spend the day on a gorgeous beach was priceless. The owner had chairs, umbrella, floaties and a cart to use to make it easy. The house has a great cottage feel and the house was stocked very well. If your going on vacation to be active with day trips and the beach, it's the perfect house. The house is a bit of a throwback and nothing high tech, it's just a great simple cottage. There are a ton of day trips all within 30 minutes. The community the house resides in is so cool. It's a bit confusing when someone refers to "the pool" and figuring out how to get on the other side of the water but when we did there's a really cute area to check out. I would definitely return!!!

  Lovely split-level house in great location, very large rooms and well-equipped kitchen. Very clean, with wonderful wraparound balcony. A cable problem with new Roku TV was swiftly resolved. Owners are following our suggestion for improving handrail of inside stairs for increased safety. Overall, completely delightful stay !

  Great beach house! Had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Very clean and well equipped. I didn’t mind bringing my own linens because I always bring my own anyway. Short walk to the beach for beautiful sunsets and walks to the islands.The hosts were great to work with and very helpful with questions I had before the trip.Definitely will rent here again!

• Old school charm

  4/5

  My husband, myself and our three children (9, 5, and 3) stayed here last week. We typically stay at a other spot down the road but thought we would give this house a try. I had previously reached out to the property manager prior to our stay to see if pillows counted as linens which you need to bring with no response. I brought enough for all of us and saw that there were indeed pillows as well as comforters on the bottom of all the beds. It sounds silly but I was annoyed because I wouldn't have had to pack all of them if he would have responded. Check in was easy enough. We arrived a little before 4 pm and there was a car in the driveway leaving the house until 3:58 pm which is fine because check in was "after 4 pm" but it gave me a chuckle. I did notice it had stairs but was surprised that you had to go upstairs for the living room, kitchen, deck, and other full bathroom and down more stairs for the 3 bedrooms and second bathroom. It is definitely not designed for an elderly individual or someone with disabilities that can't climb stairs. Although this is listed as family friendly this house is NOT friendly for little children. My 3 year old was fine but crawling children would literally fall through the bottom railing. It has an old school feel, would everywhere which personally reminds me of my childhood home and I love but not for everyone. As someone reviewed previously the floors do creak which I assumed from pictures so I brought 2 noise machines from home. Each room has a fan in it but with the windows open the house stays pretty cool. It was over 90 one day and the highest it got in the house was 75. The windows are all crank windows so be gentle. I loved the washer and dryer which was convenient. The big yard was nice. Nice big fridge. We didn't use the oven or anything so I can't comment on those. There are two beaches you can go to that are walkable. If you leave the house and take a right then a left there is a small path, the other is if you take a left out of the driveway then another left there will be a path on the right. The second was our favorite spot. The views from the house are fantastic! We even saw the fireworks from Old Orchard Beach on Thursday night! Overall it was a wonderful stay!
