This house is in such a quaint and beautfual area. Right on the water, as close as you can be to the lobster boats. We bought lobster right off the boat one evening. It was fantastic.
The house is an old home that is pretty well maintained. A little bit of detailing could really push this house to the next level. Several areas had paint chipping off the ceiling, deep cleaning needs to happen around door handles, light switches, and buttons on microwave and dishwasher (visibly dirty). The main floor bathroom’s toilet was never cleaned from the guests before, so we had to clean it when we arrived...this may have made me a bit more sensitive to all other areas. Overall, that was the only major cleaning fluke. One other suggestion would be for the owners to write up instructions for guests. It would be helpful to know where the outside trash is, what to do with the recycling, how to work TVs, kayaking instructions, etc. The owners were present when we arrived so they gave us a lot of information verbally that could be helpful if written down for guests (especially about the emergency bag for kayaking). Although the other areas are mentioned, they are definitively not deal breakers on this house. Great views, updates, and decor.
Definitely a place for those looking for a quiet secluded vacation. You can basically get all you need within walking distance. The town is very cute and has some great restaurants. If you are looking for a busy tourist location in Maine this is not it, this will be for those looking for a restful experience where you can really see the fishing industry in action. We truly enjoyed our stay.
