What a week!! My family (4 adults, 1 child) rented this home the week of July 4 this year. We were also permitted to bring our small dogs for a fee. We chose to head north as I hadn't been to Maine, and the weather in Maryland was atrociously hot! Little did we know the heat wave would follow us to Maine. This home does not have air conditioning (which is probably normally perfectly fine) but they do supply LOTS of fans, which we used EVERY one :)
The home was equipped with literally everything we could need, even beach chairs and a cart! The only thing we needed to bring was food and linens. There was plenty of room for us to be comfortable while inside. There are games, books, TV, and of course, the Maine scenery. We took the opportunity to drive to several lighthouses to the South, went on a successful whale-watching trip, journeyed to Monhegan Island, and explored downtown Portland which we LOVED.
The owners are very communicative and nice and even returned a belt we accidentally left in house. The home sits VERY close to the neighbor, who happens to be very nice also. Parking was a little tight for our large minivan and large SUV. The driveway is shared with the neighbor. There is a small yard, and the house is on a quiet, low-traffic street just up the road from a marina and the beach. The beach was much smaller than we expected and is shared by a good number of people at this time. The home is about 2 blocks off the beach - a very easy walk. We also wandered out on a jetty for the fireworks displays.
The home is also located about 5 miles from Old Orchard Beach which has tons of people, beach, restaurants, and an amusement park with an arcade.
Overall, this trip was wonderful in so many ways, the home and its owners included. I would certainly recommend renting the Molinas' home and would consider returning myself.
