The property grounds are quite lovely. The house is fully equipped in kitchen and there were sufficient linens for our group. It appears that the owners are continuing to work on the house because there are a few minor fixes that are still needed. EG, bedroom lacked proper door knob so wouldn’t stay closed. But overall, it was quite nice.

Our stay was great. Thank you so much. Even with the rain we had a good time. Great location. Definitly need to pay attention to the tile around the woodstove though!

Clean,

Clean, tidy, nice place to stay. Beautiful outdoor fire pit and sitting area. Lot's of outdoor space. The layout of the 2nd floor is odd - the bathroom on the 2nd floor is in one of the bedrooms - with NO door (to the bathroom), so the other 2 bedrooms upstairs need to use the downstairs bathroom, unless they don't mind an audience. That was not apparent in the description. Also, the jacuzzi was basically a slightly oversized tub. Beyond that, we had a great stay.

Hi Tricia, Thank you for your feedback. I did include pictures to show the open layout of the en suite bathroom attached to the master bedroom but I apologize that it wasn’t made clear in the description. I will update that. The jacuzzi tub is in fact an over sized tub with jets as defined. I’m happy you enjoyed your stay. We would love to host your group again. Have a great rest of your summer! Meg

Great experience

Overall we had a great stay at Meg & William’s home! They were very responsive hosts, and even though one amenity wasn’t as listed Meg went above and beyond to fix it. My recommendation would be to double check with them if you’re expecting a certain amenity. I also don’t feel it’s the best home for children under 4 due to the loose tile laid around the fire place/not really little kid proof. The backyard is amazing to hang out in, and it’s close to some really nice beaches. You can’t go wrong renting from people like Meg & William, they were great!

Thank you Abigail! I appreciate your feedback. We will look at removing the tile to make it more kid friendly. We have also added a Thule double jogging stroller and a pack and play as amenities to use. We would really like to appeal to families and make their stay as comfortable as possible so I really do appreciate this feedback. Thank you for staying with us. I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Meg

Schöne Aufenthalt

Wir hatten schöne Tage in dem Haus. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist toll, sehr kurze Wege zu verschiedenen Stränden und nach Portland. Großes Grundstück mit Feuerstelle und schöner Terrasse. Sehr zu empfehlen.
