Acerca de este alojamiento

Afterglow - La belleza del atardecer en la espectacular vista al mar y playa privada

Afterglow es conocido por sus hermosos atardeceres y reflejos en el agua salada. Está justo en el océano con una gran playa privada y mirando hacia el suroeste hacia Pemaquid. Desde toda la casa se pueden ver espectaculares vistas al mar y espectaculares puestas de sol. Un jardín y una gran área de juegos cubierta de hierba adecuada para croquet o bádminton se extienden hasta la playa privada. Los árboles ofrecen una sensación de privacidad y tranquilidad. Imagine que se despierta por la mañana con el dulce olor del océano, observando a los pescadores de langosta que levantan las trampas de langosta a través de las ventanas de los dormitorios; sentado en la sala de estar, en el comedor o en la terraza con deliciosos mariscos de Maine y viendo serenas puestas de sol. Explorar la costa rocosa, navegar en kayak de mar, pasear por la playa pública o unirse a la reunión de música de la casa comunitaria son algunas de las actividades características del área local inmediata. La amistad ofrece un buen acceso a Camden, Boothbay, Pemaquid, Freeport o atracciones más distantes como Bar Harbor y las regiones del norte del lago.


Actividades / atracciones en el área inmediata: natación, piragüismo o kayak de mar directamente desde nuestra área de playa privada. El campo de juegos cubierto de hierba al lado de la playa es adecuado para croquet / badminton. Cada agosto (primer o segundo sábado) hay una regata llamada Chowder Cup in Friendship. Este es un evento en el que cualquier persona con un velero puede competir. Puede sentarse a la sombra en nuestra propiedad o en nuestra playa privada disfrutando de la carrera. Es realmente divertido ver todo tipo de embarcaciones con una variedad de velas diferentes. Amigos y vecinos, pequeñas embarcaciones y grandes embarcaciones, marineros experimentados y principiantes van todos. Corren uno contra el otro y también tratan de sortear todos los barcos de langosta en funcionamiento. The Community House y Long Beach están a poca distancia a pie de Afterglow. En la temporada de verano, los visitantes, amigos y vecinos se reúnen con música, variedad de deliciosas comidas y juegos en la Casa de la Comunidad. Long Beach es una hermosa playa pública agradable para correr y ver los famosos Friendship Sloops.

Actividades / atracciones en 5 min. Distancia de conducción: Friendship Harbour es un hermoso puerto de trabajo. Puedes elegir tus propias langostas en el puerto directamente del agua en que vivían. ¡Nada puede ser tan fresco como esto! El Día de la Amistad se celebra el último sábado de julio de cada año. Este año es el 31 de julio y comienza a las 6:30 a.m.con una carrera de 1 a 5 km a pie seguida de un desayuno de panqueques, desfile, entretenimiento musical, actividades infantiles, concursos, feria de artesanías, juegos de softball, rollos de langosta fresca, sopa de almejas, Carreras de botes de langosta, venta de alimentos / pasteles, la famosa subasta de la amistad y fuegos artificiales El Museo de la Amistad ubicado en la escuela "Old Brick" ofrece a la comunidad una variedad de eventos durante todo el año sobre temas relacionados con la historia y las tradiciones de la Amistad. En el verano, ofrece viajes a lugares de interés paisajístico e histórico y participa en la celebración anual de toda la comunidad de Friendship. La Biblioteca Pública de Friendship está afiliada al sistema de bibliotecas del Estado de Maine y contiene 18413 volúmenes en colección.

Actividades / atracciones en 10 min. Distancia de conducción: El Teatro Waldo en Waldoboro, diseñado por Benjamin Schlanger en la década de 1930 con un interior Art Deco y una fachada hecha en estilo renacentista griego, es famoso por su maravillosa acústica y presenta una variedad de artes escénicas, entretenimiento en vivo y películas clásicas. Se cree que la antigua iglesia alemana, otra obra maestra histórica, es la iglesia más antigua de Maine. Fue construido en 1772 por un grupo de luteranos reformados en la orilla oriental del río Medomak con sus bancos de bancos cuadrados, galerías y el púlpito en forma de copa de vino. Otras atracciones y actividades en pueblos cercanos son los Conciertos de la Cámara de la Bahía en Camden, que ofrece actuaciones de clase mundial, la Ópera de Rockport, el Museo Farnsworth, el Museo del Faro, el Museo del Transporte de Owl's Head y el Festival de la Langosta en Rockland, el Acuario de Maine y el Museo del Ferrocarril Boothbay en Boothbay, el Faro de Pemaquid y Pemaquid Beach son los lugares imprescindibles para visitar.

Location cannot be beat! Sunset with afterglow was phenomenal. The large deck was terrific.New bath towels are needed, we brought our own after reading a review. A very old-fashioned interior, but certainly sufficient for our needs would be nice if the owner had at least one ocean kayak to take out on the water. I brought my own beach chair as the few hanging in the garage look to be decades old. Fantastic general store a few miles away in town. Terrific lobster restaurant in town a few miles away.Dishwasher works very poorly according to my wife and mother.Such a fantastic location that a lot can be overlooked in the residence itself.

I can’t say enough about the view, without a doubt one of the most beautiful I have seen. I really enjoyed looking for sea glass on the beach and managed to find several pieces. We also loved the location, very quant small town and close to so many great places to visit.

Absolutely stunning location. Calm, peaceful and deep bay waters - beautiful at both high and low tide. Hours of kayak adventures with seal and eagle and osprey sightings. Sunsets that last for an hour or more and then incredible night skies with views of the Milky Way. Loved every minute!

Great views!

The private beach was just steps away from the back porch. Beautiful views from sun up to sun down. We really enjoyed the nature hike that was only about a ten-minute walk away from the house - that was an added bonus. The house is a bit dated, but it had a charm to it, like visiting your beloved grandparents' house. We enjoyed the nostalgia.

We had a wonderful time in Friendship and especially enjoyed several amazing sunsets from the deck. Although the water at the house beach was a little rough, we managed to kayak along the shore. A nearby beach down the road was a bit calmer. Great bicycling to the Friendship Harbor as well.

Beautiful views, lovely ocean breeze and great location!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Afterglow. The house is a little dated but does not stop a great time. Our only issue was that the master bedroom on the 1st floor with an AMAZING view has twin beds with springs that can be felt. That said we would rent again but bring something to put over the mattresses so that when we pushed the beds together we could snuggle in comfort.

Thanks, Kate for your feedback. We are going to replace the mattresses and place a full size bed in the master bedroom downstairs. The house was built by Dave's Dad and Mom. Dave helped a great deal and has fond memories of his family. We would like to keep the original family's taste.

Perfect place to rest with beautiful views. Beautiful sunset. We saw a bold eagle right of the main deck. Nice little town. As noted on previous reviews the water has an oder.

Hi Esmeralda, Glad to hear you have a good vacation here in Maine. Thanks for your feedback. Here is the information we would like our guests to know about the coastal water. In order to have the least impact on our summer guests, each spring we hire a professional person to clean the well, refresh the well water and replace the filters in the water filtering system inside the house. Due to the property and well are so close the deep ocean water, we always inform our guests to bring the bottle water for drinking and cooking. Information for bed mattresses condition: 1st floor master bedroom – Queen size bed with new extra firm memory foam mattress 2nd floor bedroom 1: Two twin beds all have new extra firm memory foam mattresses 2nd floor bedroom 2: Two spring mattresses are in very good condition and topped with memory foam pads for softness We will continue to try our best to make our guests happy and hope our guests will enjoy their vacation time at our property. Thank you again and have a great rest of 2020. Ming

July 4th Stay in Coastal Maine

We wanted to get away from the city of Portland and experience a true Maine experience. This rental provide just that. We were on the water edge where we experienced local lobster fisherman checking their crab cages, fisherman casting their nets, fireworks over the bay, and much more without the hustle of a big city. Local dining was just that, a small town experience where people were very friendly and lobster was right off the boat. The host was extremely friendly and the accommodations were far better then staying at a hotel. Very quite environment with a very clean house. Can't complain and well worth the price.

It was a beautiful spot on the water with some gorgeous views.

The house was situated at a lovely location on the water with beautiful views of the ocean. We enjoyed renting kayaks and watching the lobstermen on their boats from the beautiful deck and private beach. The house was nice with pretty water views, but decorated in the 70s with very little updated. The beds were older and not very comfortable and the pillows were very old looking and very stained. We didn't realize how bad till we stripped the bed at the end of the week. Maybe if they invested more in the beds so they were less creaky and they bought new pillows each year it would be a more comfortable sleeping experience. However, everything else was nice.

Thank you, James for the review. The house is an inheritance of the family containing antique furniture and original family taste. We would like to keep the original characteristics for the memories of the past. We’ve updated the hot water heater (June, 2017), kitchen appliances, windows, patio doors, hardwood flooring and outside of the house including deck and roofing since 2011. Regarding to the pillows, we noticed you used the old pillows as extra pillows. These old pillows were temporally stored inside the closet on the floor for disposal. We will make sure to dispose the old items before next guests’ arrival in the future. We’ve added 4 extra new pillows already for our guests’ convenience. We haven’t experienced any complains about the beds from other guests since renting the house. If we hear the similar complain we will diligently correct it. Customer service and satisfaction are our priorities.

Peace & Happiness

Ming's property is a peaceful step back in time. The furnishing are a cool vintage collection. The deck is where you will want to be though! It faces the ocean and is just a slice of heaven. Walk across the lawn and down the short set of stairs and you are on the beach. We found sea glass each day:) The house is very good sized and shares a short road with just one other house. You definitely have your privacy. We even had a nesting Osprey w/family that we kept our eye one every day. A few lobster boats come and go each day, adding just the right touch of "Maine." Friendship is tucked away but close to what activities we wanted to do within Mid-coast Maine. Ming was a pleasure to work with and wants you to have the best vacation ever! Thank you for a lovely week, Ming!!! XO

Pros and Cons

The house and setting are great, except for the problem with the sulfuric water, but we knew about that ahead of time. However, the photos and description of the access to a private beach are very misleading! There was no way to get down the bluff to the beach. We ended up actually digging our and building a rock and wood staircase so we could get down there. My husband was unable to use the beach, and supposed access to it was the main draw of this house! Also, although the house itself was clean, the wall oven was so filthy that I recoiled in horror, so we could not use it. And the dishwasher is so old that it is stained and dirty on the inside. I expected to find a handful of brochures on local restaurants and fun things to do in the area, but none of that was provided. The kitchen is minimally stocked - a corkscrew seems like an essential item! It feels like this owner is very haphazard in her care and approach to her clientele.

Respuesta de VrboOwner el 26 de may de 2022
It was great having you as our guest this summer! I’m sorry to hear you felt misled regarding the entrance to the beach. To give context to our other guests, there is a 1.5ft high embankment along the edge of the lawn and beach with a stone pathway for access. While this makes for easy access to most all our guests, we are sorry that you weren’t able to fully enjoy the beach. To be clear, we do not advertise the property to be accessible to anyone with disabilities and there was no mention of special needs in the inquiry. We do our best to keep the kitchen well prepared for all our guests but I’m sorry to hear some of the appliances didn’t meet your expectations; we will see what we can do to make improvements here. While the kitchen is stocked with a corkscrew, it may have been misplaced by another guest and we will be sure to relocate it in a convenient place - thanks for bringing it to our attention. Updates: Two water analyses have been done in April and May 2022. The water has elevated iron and manganese, but no Sulfur. A water softener has been installed in April 2022 to improve the entire house water quality.

Beautiful View

You can’t beat the view. The location is about 10 min to the town. The house is extremely outdated, mostly original, with very uncomfortable old furniture. It is loaded with old books and magazines and other stuff that collects dust. The bathrooms need updating. The tub shower is dangerously slippery and the upper shower is tricky to use. The beds are old, but did have clean linens. We were left with four towels, two were old small air dried and too rough to use. Two were very small with fringes like a rug and very old. Did not use them. Bought some beach towels to use. We were left with three napkins and one roll of TP in each bathroom. We bought more of each for our use. Nice lobster pot. The oven is original and gets very hot on the outside door, it needs replacing. No microwave, but did have a nice little toaster oven. Nice fridge. Nice size dining room table with chairs. Dishwasher worked but you can not use the wash machine, the breaker is off and only for housekeeping. That was outlined on the contract we had to sign. The contract is not welcoming, it is merely a list of don'ts and reminders of your own risks. New steps to the water, but a bit tricky with no hand rail. The owner does respond quickly to messages. We did not try to use the tv's, they are old CRT models. But the wifi worked fine. If this house were updated, It would be a nice remote spot to hang out.

Hi Stephanie, Sorry for your disappointment. The house is a private home from our parents. It is important for us to keep our parents’ antique furniture and collectable books and magazines to remind us of the beautiful time we had together. We have detailed photos on VRBO website for our guests to view and make their own choice. These are the facts we want our guests to know: The Bathroom: We replaced the sink & faucet, toilet and shower system (both down/upstairs) last spring. The new ones are beautiful Kohler brand. Please see the photos on VRBO website. Bedrooms: The bed frames are metal frames. The mattresses in all three bedrooms are the new firm memory foams and being used only for a few weeks in the summer rental. The mattress in the master bedroom is only 3 summers old. Microwave: The microwave oven is right above the wall oven. Please see the photos on VRBO website. We provide one set of towels (3 pieces) for each guest and many extra toilet paper rolls in the bathrooms cabinet. There is a detailed instruction booklet for appliances, door locks and etc. hanging on the kitchen wall. Detailed check-in information is emailed to our guests one week before the arrival date. Items we do not provide are stated on the VRBO website and our rental agreement. Thanks. Ming

What a spot!

This is truly a lovely spot on the coast of Maine. Beautiful view, cool, clean water and nice breezes. Access to the beach would be improved with some good stairs but the property is great and having two full bathrooms was definitely a plus. Good cell reception and strong wifi helped as well.

Friendship

Excellent view and peaceful setting. Worst part is the water. Very high sulfur content and smell. Use bottled water to brush teeth and any cooking. Showers get you clean but you smell like sulfur. A lot of negative yellow stickers. Would be better if just included in the agreement. There is nothing egregious. Could not get over the feeling that our movements were constantly being monitored. Understand the liability issues, but using the fireplace would have been nice. Mostly small improvements we saw but thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Hi Johnathan, We are glad you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and thank you for your feedback. We agree, the water contains heavy minerals compared to city water because the water comes from our own well. Like all properties in our area our property is outside the range of the town water supply. While all house water passes through a modern filtration system, the mineral content in the water is responsible for the slight smell, which is very common in our area. We realize some guests are not familiar with the coastal water. We always inform our guests the water condition ahead of time and provide a container of drinking water for our guests to start with. Regarding to the yellow stickers (total 3) – the 1st sticker is the password to access the Wi-Fi. The 2nd one is a welcome note with a kind reminder to remind our guests to stay within the boundary of our beach (directly in front of our property). The 3rd note is reminding our guests to not block the driveway. The rental agreement has rules encompass our reminders of respecting our neighbors’ private properties including noise. Allowing 3 vehicles parking, no parking on the lawn etc. These notes are specific amendments due to recent incidents we’ve had this year. We will be updating our rental agreement to incorporate these notes. Updates: Two water analyses have been done in April and May 2022. The water has elevated iron and manganese, but no Sulfur. A water softener has been installed in April 2022 to improve the entire house water quality. Thanks. Ming Rawstron

Can I go back right now?

We have been coming to Afterglow for four years and could not be more pleased with our experience. The location is extraordinary. The property is right on the shore, nestled at the head of a small cove, so there is nothing and no one between you and the water. At high tide, you can walk down a few steps to the beach and go for a swim (at low tide you'll have to walk about twenty yards). The location works particularly well for us since we love to kayak and it is very easy to launch your boats, again just walking a few steps down to the beach and into the water. The sunsets are spectacular and can be comfortably viewed from the spacious front deck. The house sleeps 6 adults comfortably and having a full bath upstairs is a big plus. The house is always clean and well-maintained when we arrive and the owners respond immediately to any questions or requests. Because of the location, the ambiance is truly peaceful, a high priority for us. We've often found that days can go by with no sounds from the neighboring properties and–aside from a few lobster boats and the sound of the lapping waves–the bay is remarkably quiet. Afterglow is, for us, totally relaxing. Not only would I recommend Afterglow to friends and relatives, we've had a number of friends and relatives come to stay with us and they all say they don't want to leave. We'll be going back next year.

Spectacular sunsets!

Imagine the most spectacular sunsets you've ever seen, a comfortable deck overlooking the water and a house that feels like home. That's Afterglow. We've just finished our sixth year of vacations there, and have been completely satisfied. Our hosts are gracious and accommodating, booking is easy and the listing accurately describes the house and its comfortable accommodations. The location is lovely -- close enough to nearby towns/cities to dine out, shop and take advantage of cultural activities and far enough away to feel the quiet of a vacation by the water. There's a small beach steps away from the house that's lovely for sea glass hunting, sitting on the rocks or launching kayaks and a nearby town beach for swimming. Highly recommended!

What a Lovely Spot

Ming, our friendly, helpful, and informative host greeted my sister and I upon our arrival at Afterglow. We got there just around dusk in time to enjoy what would be one of many breathtaking sunsets. Every evening after, we made sure we were on the deck to take advantage of the westward views and the beautiful sunsets. What a way to end the day after swimming and kayaking right from the beach in front of our cottage. A perfect week in a perfect place!

Thanks! We enjoyed our vacation!

We are a retired couple and came to visit Maine last summer. We stayed at “Afterglow” for a week and really enjoyed our vacation. The home is very comfortable and well equipped. We spent most of our time on the deck reading, relaxing, watching sailboats, sea kayakers passing by, duck family swimming around, local lobstermen working… The shaded large deck is a plus on a hot summer day! Afterglow is private, quiet, and serene, but never boring. A Dennis the Menace duckling excites the brood. An osprey may fly by. The spectacular sunsets give the evening time a special and charming moment. We also enjoyed sitting on the private beach observing the incoming water surge against the rocks, clear water, beautiful small rocks and sand. Thanks for allowing us to share such a beautiful location. We are coming back this summer.
