We absolutely loved staying here. Jen was a great hostess. Everything we needed was available at the house - really well stocked. Beautiful view. Tons of space. Just so perfect! If you’re going to stay in Castine, this house is probably the BEST spot. We hope to be back again next year! Plenty of room for a large family to eat together in the dining room. Perfect house to just sit and read for hours or go do all the things Castine and the coast have to offer.

Breathtaking Views and Maine Charm!

We had a wonderful stay here. Our family of six and varying nannies and grandparents spent three wonderful weeks here. The view truly cannot be described, and the house was cozily outfitted for everything. The owners were communicative and helpful, and check-in and check-out were a breeze. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Castine Vacation Home

All ten of us loved this spacious, well appointed estate. There are spectacular views in every direction. My husband and I are senior citizens and we enjoyed the large bedroom with an adjoining bath on the first floor.

memorable vacation

Loved loved this home. It was furnished beautifully, but also had anything you could possibly need for a vacation. It was easy walking distance to town, even though town is very small. Wasn't sure if 5 grandchildren (high school and college) would enjoy, but they are ready to return. Thanks to the owner

We were looking for a place to accommodate 12 people comfortably, be with in an hour of an airport for those of us flying in from CO, be close enough to Acadia for a couple day trips, be on or close to the water and be within walking distance to a town. This checked all the boxes and did not disappoint. We brought our kayaks, bikes, volleyball/badminton. We really enjoyed our walks around town, sunset walks to the trail at the Dyce's Head lighthouse and sunrise paddles. We also had a great afternoon at the beach at Wadsworth Cove. The house had plenty of room for everyone, and you could always find a quiet place to read or relax, especially on one of the beautiful porches. We really appreciated having soaps, linens, towels (even beach towels),paper goods and things like plastic wrap, foil and sandwich bags supplied. Jen was very responsive and went above and beyond, even checking in during the week to be sure all was well. Very grateful to have found such a gem.

Beautiful home, relaxing vacation spot!

The home was beautiful with so much space. The furnishings were wonderful! They even had all the tools for us to use when we made lobsters at home! Walking distance to downtown. Highly recommend!

Great Family Vacation

What a location! This classic Maine home with expansive lawn and breach access was great for our family vacation. We loved walking into town, watching boats and exploring the back shore.

Castine

Very good communication with owners. View and location cannot be beat. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. Fully stocked with anything you would need minus your own groceries. Home is older but that is it’s charm. House cleaning could do a bit better job on the easy stuff like under beds, and moving things to clean around more thoroughly. Owners are aware of issues that come with older homes and are working to address those. Our family consensus is we would stay here again.
