The house was in such a great location and walking distance to the marina and downtown if you don't mind a little trek. The house was clean and very well stocked with everything needed for a great stay. The only mention would be the stairs are very steep so would take that into consideration with who will be visiting. Would highly recommend for a great Maine visit!
