My family enjoyed our week at this beautiful home. We particularly loved spending days at the beach and taking day trips around the area.The hosts provided a very well appointed home with many thoughtful amenities we were not expecting but were delighted to have. (E.g. s’more supplies, a lighter and cooler at the beach, dog toys and waste bags and some commonly forgotten toiletries)The house itself was inviting and felt well loved with comfortable beds and fans in all of the rooms.In addition to the beach we enjoyed playing games at the giant dining room table, the view from the deck, and a particular highlight was seeing a whale jump just off shore.We’d recommend brining (or renting) kayaks or paddle boards, a beach blanket, and good walking sandals (for going up and down the stairs).The owners were kind and responsive and gave a nice tour of the home on arrival.

Spectacular home, location, and host! Our family of 3 generations gathered at this beautiful home and the experience was beyond what we could have dreamed: clean, well-stocked (everything you could possibly think of), comfortable and inviting home with beautiful and fun decor. We adored the private beach with spectacular views and very interested sea lions who joined our group on kayaking expeditions. Some of the members of our group never left the grounds as there was so much to do, including tons of lawn games, indoor games, and spectacular seating areas (both indoor and out) to curl up with a good book or enjoy the view!We cannot say enough about Paul and Shankari. We could not have felt more welcome and their attention to any needs/questions was immediate and beyond the "call of duty". We are truly thankful and appreciative of their help, especially when our arrival was a bit delayed. We feel truly blessed to have found this beautiful home (a little oasis from our everyday lives), and especially for the opportunity to meet such wonderful and caring people.

A very nice group of people. I believe there were close to 20. They had nice weather, had a humpback whale jumping out of the water right off the beach. One night they hired a local catering company to prepare a Down East Lobster dinner. Everything was left in wonderful condition. We thank them for being wonderful guests and hope they all enjoyed Maine.

Welcoming home on the water...

We enjoyed the warmth of the fireplace and the inviting tables where our family gathered and shared food, stories and merriment. The variety of activities in the area from long walks, to scavenging on the beach, to local charm along the coast kept everyone busy and happy. Communication from the owners was timely and helpful. We look forward to another visit to The Retreat House.

House and beach are amazing! Beach has few, if any, other folks on it. Views are gorgeous!! House has everything you could need. In a quiet area but all necessities within 10 min drive. Convenient for day trips to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden/Rockland. Absolute treasure, highly recommend!!

Our family had a wonderful week at this property! The views from the balcony were stunning and the surrounding area was beautiful. Paul was a very kind and communicative host and the house was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need! Our kids had a great time at the beach and there was plenty of space for all of us. I would just note that while the house is listed for 16, there is an weekly charge any additional guests beyond 8 people. Also, it isn’t noted in the amenities, but there are pictures of kayaks in the listing. Kayaks can be rented for an additional fee week from an outside company. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to others as we had a fantastic week, but would just make sure they are aware of the additional charges on the front end.

Great New Year!

We were looking for a house that would fit our big family to spend the New Year’s together and this house did not disappoint. The house was so big it accommodated 16 of us and our three dogs. We met Paul on arrival and he was so welcoming and showed us around. Everything in the house was beautiful and the fire pit in the beach was a great way for our family members that came from Colombia to have a fire pit on the beach experience during the winter. Everything was close to the house as well and we were even able to go skiing with a 46 min drive which wasn’t bad either. We would definitely want to come back again! Thank you again for opening your lovely house!

Never leave!

We had such a great week at The Retreat House! There really wasn’t any reason to leave and consequently, we only ventured out to the grocery store, a little antiquing, and a Fort Knox exploration. The beach is wonderful and busy with seals, porpoises, osprey, loons and eagles. My granddaughters played on the beach the entire time and loved the many toys, the activities available, and the “Library “ clubhouse. Everything we needed was there and sometimes in multiples. The owners are incredibly responsive and lovely. They supply the things you need, like trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Once you get there, you don’t need to scurry out to the grocery store for household staples. This is a house equipped to take a lot of people and still provide privacy. Our group of 8 could really spread out and still leave extra beds. Excellent week!

Relax and enjoy!

This home and our experience in it were wonderful. We were a party of 9 with an age range of 10 months up to 87 years old. The bedroom with attached bath on the first floor was perfect for my mother in-law- no stairs for her! The rest of us could have slept in a different bed almost every night, there are 14 not including the futons, couch beds and cots! The deck is large with gorgeous views over the water and the foliage was to die for! The kitchen is well stocked for large parties but the pots and pans could use a little updating. Paul is absolutely wonderful and was a pleasure to work with! He provided us with everything we needed - I’ve never had a more attentive owner experience in all my years using VRBO! We were in town for a wedding and only had time for a trip up the road to Fort Knox but plan to come back when it’s a bit warmer to sit on the beach all day and relax! My 4 year old had a ball searching the beach for shells and crabs and loved it despite October being too cold for a swim! I would for sure return and recommend this for large gatherings - great!!

Heaven on Earth! We will be back!

A part of me wants to keep this place a secret, but that would be selfish, and Paul and Janet deserve all the positive praise! We have been taking an extended family vacation together since 2005. We were looking for a place with plenty of room for adults, teens, young children and pups. That search led us to Retreat House. With an abundance of sleeping options and plenty of open space to gather together, this house offers it all. The large dining table was key for our family meals. Everything about this home was beyond amazing! The location was serene and peaceful but close to many attractions within driving distance. Sitting on the deck for the view or going down to the beach were equally amazing. We rented kayaks from Don Pedro's which is a must! The wildlife! Seals, bald eagles, seagulls, osprey, cormorants, deer in the field...we even got to experience a RARE whale sighting right from the beach! All incredible blessings for a nature/animal loving family. Did I mention the rainbow? Paul and Janet were the absolute best hosts! Janet met us at the house for a tour when we arrived, and they were always quick to respond if there was a question. The little personal touches such as the smore's bar and popcorn/candy bar were so thoughtful and appreciated. Two amazing people who truly care about your experience. Wonderful memories were made! Our week was as perfect as it could get, and we can't wait to head back next year to continue our annual week together in Maine!

Great getaway!

My family and I had a great time staying here. The views are beautiful and the area was quiet and peaceful. The place is spacious and has plenty of room for a big family or group. The rear porch has a beautiful view of the river and the beach. This place has a private beach access. This place also has several fire pits and seating available. On the day that we arrived, the owners Paul and Shankari greeted us at the entrance which was a first for me. They are very welcoming and very helpful with any questions or concerns we had. Paul even recommended us many places to go see and visit in the area during our stay and even recommended many restaurants to eat. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace and the fire pit at the beachfront. The kids played volleyball at the beach since there is a net available, I myself played a few rounds of badminton. I would definitely look forward in booking this place again in the future. I can highly recommend this place to anyone!

Super fun vacation

Fabulous house with great views. There were loads of beds and conversational seating areas, both inside and out. House was filled with everything a group could need. The owners obviously gave a lot of thought to what people might need or want. The beach was also well stocked with chairs, umbrellas and games. The only downside was the multitude of stairs down to the beach which apparently is common in this area. It was not a problem at all for our group of kids, dogs and grandparents but it may be for some. Also, there is no air conditioning on the ground or second floor. Again, not an issue for us (even though the weather was unusually hot during our visit) but it could be for some. The house was easy to get to and quiet, yet close to loads of trails and about 50 minutes from Bar Harbor. Of course, you could just stay at the house and beach and be perfectly content! The owners were super friendly and attentive. They even found and delivered a cord for our outdoor projector that we forgot. Thanks for saving our outdoor movie night. I would highly recommend this as a home away from home!

Great for All Ages

We had a great experience in this eclectic and artsy home. There were two huge tables so our group of 15 could eat together comfortably, and there were plenty of beds for everyone. One sleeping area required going through another bedroom to get to it, but we were fine with that. We had gorgeous fires in the fireplace, and the best part of all was the quiet beach—the kids could have spent all their time there, playing in the water and playing beach games like badminton. The adults were happy to sit under the beach umbrellas and relax. The house is well stocked with extra bedding, lots of towels, and games and cooking supplies. We had such a lovely stay!

It was nice meeting your entire family. I’m glad your sister? Brought along a paddle board so she could see the seals. We really enjoyed speaking with your Dad and your aunt from CA. Hopefully you got to use the gift certificate we gave your Dad for Young’s Lobster Pound. It’s our favorite place to dine on the water. Best, Paul, Shankari, Oz and Lola.

SWEET PIECE OF MAINE

Exceeded expectations. 12 adults, 5 kids under 5 and a dog. We had our dinners delivered each day by Coastal Critters - and they dropped off breakfast for the next morning also. Didn't have to cook....buy food..... Rented kayaks & Paddleboards which were also delivered - at the recommendation of the VRBO owners. The private beach and sheltered access to the water were perfect for kayaks & paddleboards. Padded out to see the seals who live on the shallow rocks/island 1/4 mile out from the beach Kids loved it

The kids rode their bikes around Sandy Point while the adults kayaked out to Odem's Ledge. They had Bonfire on the beach and even treated the neighborhood to a Fire Works display over the water. All in All very cool people.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We searched for over 2 years searching for a property that was not jut on the ocean but a place with a private beach which is rare in Central/Downeast Maine. Located 13 miles north of exciting Belfast allows us to spend our days on the beach and dine at wonderful restaurants at night. The property is private, quiet and perfect for large groups.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

Sunrise from our large waterfront deck is mesmerizing. Having your private sandy beach is practically unheard of in this part of Maine. The view from every window in the house looks out to water or forest. Most of our guests are here for family reunions, weddings or multi family vacations.We have owned numerous rental properties in Down East Maine since the late 90"s and The Retreat House is by far my favorite.
