A May Stay in Maine

The house is loaded with charm and everything you could possibly need. I've never stayed anywhere with so many towels, many rentals I had to run to Costco to buy more! The kitchen was also well stocked. The location is very convenient to many things to do and easy to drive into Portland and grocery stores nearby. The owner was very easy to contact with any questions we had too. I would absolutely stay here again.

Couldn't be happier!

This property and its owner couldn't have been better. The house is perfect for a family and I have never had a house that was as well-stocked with everything we could imagine. This house had it all. The location was perfect for visits to several beaches, Portland and its iconic Old Port, Portland Headlight and a trip on a lobster fishing boat for the young ones. And, any correspondence I had with the owner was answered quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Jane Lowe

We lived in this house with our children until they were grown but had to relocate to New Hampshire for work reasons. We are happy to come back here when we can and to share this beautiful area with others.

Why they chose this property

We love Black Point Rd because it starts on Rt 1, an historic eastern highway known here as The Boston Post Rd,and ends at The Cliff Walk in Prout’s Neck. The four mile stretch of road offers up a microcosm of Maine life
