Multi-family vacation
We had an amazing stay with 5 families at this beach house! The house fit us all very comfortably and all 10 kids had the best time exploring the beach, the backyard, and the neighborhood. The house is at the end of a dead end street and was perfect for biking and scooter riding! The kids all loved riding over to the general store right around the corner to get candy and ice cream. Would highly recommend this house and would definitely come again :).

Family Reunion
The property was a great location right on the ocean. Great for a group of our 11 who stayed there. The only issue for us was a that no bathroom towels or bed linens are provided. It was noted in the details but you really had to search for it and we missed it in our review. So we were significantly surprised when we got there and had to run to a WalMart store to buy towels, washcloths, bed linens etc before we could stay there. I would highly suggest to the manager that they note this in a more prominent location in their listing so others don’t get the same surprise we had. Otherwise our group enjoyed the stay, enjoyed the sunrises in the early morning, the fire pit was a great plus and being able to walk outside to the beach was magnificent. Plenty of room inside for everyone to gather and visit..

Gorgeous + relaxing mini vaca!
What a beautiful property.. We have been going to Maine for a annual family trip for about 25 years and as our family has gotten bigger, we get more cramped on our vacations.. Not here! At one point there were 18 of us at the house and not once did we feel cramped. We hope to rent again next year if the house is still available. Also, Nick, the property manager, was always extremely helpful and answered very quickly when we needed him. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing Location and An Overall Nice Place
We stayed here with 10 children and 8 adults and never felt cramped. The yard and the proximity to the beach are what made our stay. Plenty of room for the kids to play and it was about 40-50 feet to get to get to the ocean.

Wonderful stay!
We always enjoy our time here. The house and cottage provide plenty of comfortable rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked. The view and sound of the waves is amazing and it is wonderful to sit around the fire pit in the evening.
