The most important aspect of our hosting is that we strive to make this your best vacation ever! This effort depends on five major activities:
1. Off Season Maintenance
2. Preparation of Our Proprietary "Best Possible Day" Planning for Your Family
3. Housekeeping Staff's Cleaning and Preparation of Our Home for Your Family
4. Making You At Home Upon Arrival
5. Nick and Ned Are Available 20 Hours a Day As Support for You During Your Stay
We've been vacationing on MDI since1972. This is our dream spot, which we bought 40 years ago, and we designed our home to be equal to its very special setting. I was the general contractor, and watched over every detail of construction, living in it with my beloved dogs even before the house was fully enclosed.
My wife selected and modified the magnificent colors on the walls (I personally enjoy the colors as much as the ocean views!); my own unique contributions are 'Notre Dame' (the entrance hall and curvilinear staircase named after my favorite building in the world), and the kitchen and pantry, which reflect my own design of space that makes the preparation of meals, from simple to complex, a calm and fulfilling activity.
Our home is fully dog-friendly. We provide dog beds, water bowls cleaned and filled with fresh water prior to your arrival, etc. A high quality vet service is available 10 minutes away; and in case of a life-threatening, difficult emergency, one of the country's best 24 hour, tertiary care hospitals is in Scarborough, three hours away.
We put dog covers on furniture for dogs who are accustomed to sleeping with their humans!
Most importantly, we do not allow guests to bring onto the property cleaning supplies, vaping equipment, recreational drugs or similar items that could pose life-threatening risks to dogs or children if inadvertently left in accessible places.
