Having lived and vacationed in Maine my entire life I am well aware of the need to pick a vacation rental that can provide a great time even if the weather is less than cooperative. This is particularly important when there is a larger group of people and especially so when children are involved. In our case, although we were extremely fortunate to have a majority of sunny, beautiful days on our recent week at Sea Girt, I have to say, had that not been the case, we still would have enjoyed ourselves immensely. The pictures shown on the website accurately depict the rental which sits directly on the shoreline at the water's edge. The furnishings are an eclectic mix of old New England and rustic by some standards but plenty comfy and cozy for our needs. The beautiful long porch on the front offers stunning views of the bay and it is easy to sit there for hours relaxing, reading and watching the lobstermen pull their traps. I think what we, as a group of 6 adults with 2 children enjoyed the most was that there were so many areas inside and outside of the house to either join with others or be alone with everyone able to enjoy a wonderful water view. Sitting on the outside deck watching the ocean it was easy to be mesmerized by the water and the wonderful assortment of birds and wildlife around. Also of note is the privacy and quiet of the rental and we frequently remarked how wonderful it was to feel that the space was our own. The youngsters in our group had a wonderful time down on the dock fishing and successfully landed a squid and several small fish which only fed their obsession to fish more. The nearby East Boothbay General Store kept us supplied with the most wonderful breakfast and lunch items and it was not much further to go into town to a larger store for additional supplies. The whole area of East Boothbay down to Ocean Point was so absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed eating out at several of the restaurants as well as seeing the stunning sights. Of course a trip into Boothbay Harbor is just minutes away and it is amazing to be in that hustle and bustle and then in such a short time return to the quiet, solitude and beauty of Sea Girt. Trips to the botanical gardens and the nearby walking trails were also fun with again, so many sights to see. Sea Girt gets my two thumbs up, five stars or however you want to call terrific! We can't wait to go back again!
