  We had an unexpected change of plans regarding vacation and ended up in Maine. What a blessing! We spent much of our time right at the house, going up and down to the beach. Our kids exploring, lifting and climbing rocks, checking ubder the seaweed to see what they could find. Running in the field and through the woods. Sitting in the sunroom or on the deck taking in the spectacular views of the bay and Canada. The house is so light, airy and fresh. Lots of movies, cards and games to play. Loved the Tiki Peg game ha! There were opportunities to do day trips and explore past this area, but the tranquility, peacefullness and privacy of this place was exactly what our family needed. Thank You!

  I flew into Manchester, NH and rented a Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide to ride up the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. I rented this house in Calais, the last coastal city before New Brunswick. I knew we had arrived as we pulled up before even seeing the address; I recognized the view shown here in the photo. The house was charming and has a great deck that looks out at the bay. There was a Wal-Mart close by, and a great little restaurant. The house was fully equipped and even had some good movies to watch on the DVD player. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house for anyone wanting a relaxing stay on the ocean in beautiful Maine.
