Absolutely stunning place

The house was amazing in so many ways. It was large enough for a big family gathering; there were a multitude of places to find a quiet place if needed; the outdoor seating options were varied; the kitchen was well stocked and plenty of seating for everyone; the ADA bedroom makes it so much easier with elderly members; the location to beaches and the Nubble lighthouse were just a short walk, etc etc! We had a fabulous time and super comfortable stay and would highly recommend this property.

Fabulous!!!

This was the second time I brought a group of clients to this wonderful property. The house is fabulous and the setting, looking out over vast expanses of water and sky is incredibly beautiful and inspiring. We were all super-comfortable and happy! And we had wonderful spaces for this to be a powerful week of self-discovery and fun.

Perfection

Our family had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect. During our time in Maine, the weather was very cold and rainy and the house was the perfect refuge from the storm. The views were magical as we watched the huge ocean waves. We all had a wonderful time and hope to return to the house for a future vacation. .

Amazing experience!

We just spent a week at Steve’s house for my father’s birthday party. The views were fabulous from every window, and the house was impeccably clean and well stocked with everything we needed and beyond. Everyone (from 8 to 80 years old) had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to come back for a summer vacation!

Great Celebration Venue

My wife and I celebrated my 50th birthday with 8 of our friends and we had a blast. The house sits right on the ocean and there is plenty of space to relax and spread out. The downstairs with the large family room is awesome and the girls loves the hot tun and watching the sun come up. Communication with the management team and owners was amazing and they did all they could to help. We will be back!

Foster Bluff midweek get away!

The location/scenery is breathtaking. The house is carefully situated so as to provide some nice privacy on back deck, (even within the tight neighborhood it sits in.) Beautiful! Some things to keep in mind regarding the "amenities": 1) living furniture is old and very worn. Uncomfortable. The living room padded rocking chairs creak loudly when you rock in them. Clearly need replacing. The living space is not conducive for a family to hang out and watch a movie or ball game on a cool night. Couch is only big enough for two adults. 2) Master bedroom mattress is worn and needs replacing 3) The portable gas heaters on the deck are rusted and do not work. Could have really used them one evening when the sea breeze made it chilly for sitting out. 4) Every room has a GOOGLE speaker in it. WEIRD. 5) The grill is old and has not been cleaned in quite sometime. Kitchen appliance handles had not been cleaned upon our arrival. 6) The washing machine dials fall off when you turn it on. 7) There are NO BLINDS in the livingroom, your neighbor is basically watching the Redsox game with you from their living room next door! No jammy nights there! 8) NO SCREENS on bedroom windows to allow sea breeze at night as an alternative to A/C. Other minor issues like faucets that need tightening, dining room chairs arm are loose, one even fell off when moving the chair! Bottom line, the house needs a little TLC. I like nice, and don't mind paying for it....however, for the very expensive price, I want ALL THE AMENITIES to work! House needs some TLC for sure.

Fantastic house...this may be the best house we have ever rented for a vacation. It fit our family of 14 (8 adults and 6 children aged 2-5) perfectly. The views are amazing. A nor'easter came through early in the week, and it was so nice to watch the huge waves crashing on the rocks in the comfort of the home and on the covered porch. We enjoyed the fire pit throughout our stay as well as the surrounding area. We had an issue with the fireplace on arrival, but Desni worked on it until it was resolved. Everything about the interior of the house is great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Hopefully we can return!

The house was spectacular! We celebrated with family for an intimate wedding and milestone birthday. There was space for all to enjoy - young and old(er) - and all of the sleeping areas were convenient but also afforded each their privacy. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of room for several cooks in the kitchen.All of the amenities - pool, hot tub, fire area, game room, etc - were as lavish as described and so very much appreciated.Not to be forgotten are the most amazing sunrises and views from every room! Simply Spectacular. We loved it and look forward to our anniversary there and time to make more memories with our family.
