Having rented numerous VRBO's this most defiantly is the best one yet. Enough room for everyone to have their own space. We loved So.Bristol, the CO-OP was a cool place to hang out. Got to visit with Arnold Gamage 4th generation Gamage (a true Lobster Man). Would recommend this place to anyone.

Our South Bristol Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our family time at the Voelker's vacation home! All the amenities of home and then some are to be had here. Located on a quiet road, it's very clean and spacious, more than enough room for us 8 adults. Beautiful furnishings and artwork make the place very homey. We took advantage of the gas grill and large deck for meals in. The photos here really don't do it justice! Claudia was most helpful with answers to our questions and suggestions of things to do in the area. South Bristol's small town charm and friendly people were a pleasant experience. We enjoyed a short walk to great burgers and the view at the Coveside Restaurant, delicious blueberry pancakes in town at the Harborside Cafe, succulent lobsters from the Fisherman's Co-op and at Miss Ashley's, and a service at the Congregational Church on Sunday. The guys took in some rounds of golf at Wawanock, too. It's a short drive to Pemaquid Point where you can enjoy the lighthouse and the crash of the waves on the rocks, and Pemaquid beach with its white sands. All these things and more made for a most enjoyable stay! We highly recommend it!!!

Nine adults (over 65) had plenty of room and great area for cooking and visiting. Owner visited us and gave us many ideas for sightseeing. Very quiet. Worth returning to.

A Fabulous Fifty!

What a wonderful time we had in Maine, and how special my big 50 was thanks to your beautiful and spacious home in Christmas Cove. The weather was wonderful and refreshing, and I had a terrific time with my friends and family… We all agreed that the house really made the vacation… Whether we were relaxing on the deck, enjoying a glass of wine in the kitchen together, or sitting down to dinner, the memories will last a lifetime.. Thank you for everything and making my 50th birthday so special!

Memorable Family Reunion!

This magnificent house was a perfect place for our two family reunion, eleven of us in all! The spacious rooms, full amenities, and gorgeous surroundings were everything we needed for a relaxing and peaceful rendezvous. We loved walking/running all over the island, eating fresh lobsters from the co-op, sampling local cuisine and even participating in a neighborhood yoga class. Much of the time we spent in or around the house, taking advantage of the comfortable areas to lounge, inside and out. The downstairs deck was a popular area to read, enjoy the sun, chat, or sleep! It was a pleasure to cook in the expansive kitchen so dining in was a fun experience. The only thing that would have made this property better was a water view but we were only steps away from the harbor and marina. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our time together in this charming house!

Lobsters, fall colors, and a great time with friends highlighted our two weeks at this fabulous house celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. There were five couples each week, and the place was ideal. We kept the fireplace going, held an art class, had several bridge and domino contests, prepared many meals, and topped the experience off with several fun day trips. Highly recommended!

You should have more pictures up on the site. The few do not show how awesome the house really is. We stayed with our seven children and my wife's grandmother. There was plenty of room and the weather was perfect. The kids still talk about the boat ride around the island. It is within an hour of Boothbay Harbor (we went there) and several lighthouses (we went to Rockland light and Pemaquid Point light). Lobsters right from the lobstermen is only five minutes away too. We did this almost every day. We will definitely try to come back to this place. Thanks Claudia and Fritz.

The pictures do not do this home justice. The house is spectacularly beautiful and very spacious. We had 4 families staying in the home. We all had plenty of space and privacy. Each family had their own suite with a bedroom and bathroom. The yard is small, but the 6 kids 10 and under had plenty of space to play with the huge deck and driveway.

We had a wonderful family reunion at this incredible place in Christmas Cove. We were able to gather our family and enjoy our time together in this well equipped, comfortable home. We would definitely return to this special property.

This house is incredibly beautiful, spacious, light, and airy. It is a great house to share with a large group of people. There is an enormous living/dining room so it never feels crowded, and the bedrooms are very comfortable and private. We had a wonderful time.

This is truly a magnificent vacation home. It was very clean and well furnished and located on quiet, beautiful Christmas Cove. The area gave us a wonderful taste of the Maine coast. We highly recommend it.
