Fourteen of us stayed here for a wonderful week! The island provided so much to do, the trails, the water, the kyaks, the raspberries, the sea glass, the sunrises and sunsets, the views, the friendly people, the flowers! The house was very well stocked, the architectural design and detail beautiful. The history of the island is very interesting, so many people took the time to share details with us. We had 3 families, with 8 children ranging in age from 9 to 15. The kids explored, added sculptures to Spicer's Cove, divided into teams to see who could find all three gazebos first, collected sea glass, kayaked for ice cream to Peaks, played croquet, jumped off the dock, and just enjoyed the freedom the island provided. Matt was ever so patient with our many questions and so easy to work with. A definite repeat trip in our future! I would suggest if you are a large group like ours, and plan to go into Portland or surrounding areas, look into a water taxi, it's a bit more economical and flexible, and will pick you up at the dock, which provides the lovely view from The Jail's porch!
