Quiet Summer Getaway
This property was a lovely place to spend some time winding down from a busy summer.
The house is on a hill overlooking a bay, just off the Atlantic Ocean. There is a rocky beach literally across the road. The master bedroom faces the water, so it is a nice way to wake up, with the sunrise coming in.
The house is comfortable, clean, and everything we needed for our family of 5. There is a deck attached, which is a perfect place to enjoy a coffee with the sunrise, or to enjoy a dinner while listening to the waves crash against the shore.
The neighborhood was quiet, though there were other houses nearby. We had wildlife in the yard a few times (deer, and geese), which was nice.
Our host Donna was amazing! She left great details for us on things to do and see. She also left a goody bag for us as well! She was very responsive when I had a couple of questions, which helped out.
I know I've talked up the place a bit, but there is really a lot that is great about the property.
Do be prepared to drive a bit if you need things, however. The nearest town is about 20 minutes - one way. It has groceries and a few smaller shops and restaurants. However, many other things (like a Walmart) are an hour away. Its not a deal breaker, in my opinion, but we weren't quite as prepared for that as we could have been. Just something to be mindful when staying there.
If I get the chance to return to Maine, I would certainly want to stay at this lovely property again!
Thanks Donna!
