Excellent get away

Our stay in Friendship this past week was wonderful. The house was the sweetest spot for a low-key retreat with friends and family- peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly located right on the water. We spent our days kayaking, playing frisbee, watching birds and seals from the shore, and soaking in the quiet beauty of the cove. It was the perfect place to gather for puzzles, card games, and easy meals together. The kids had an amazing time exploring the woods and venturing out to Big Rock at low tide. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and memorable getaway.

Fall getaway - something for everyone

My family spent several days here and everyone had a wonderful time. We really appreciated having a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals there. And we all soaked in as much of the water view as we could. The fall colors were on great display. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would love an opportunity to come back and stay again.

We Love Maine!

This was the first trip to Maine for most of this group, and it’s safe to say we’re all in love. Being on the water was wonderful, and we enjoyed the amazing views as well as the hikes and adventures on the rocks during low tide. The pictures of the house don’t do the woodwork justice, and the grill made mealtimes easy. My only flag - the upstairs bathroom only had a tub and no shower, and with a number of girls in the group with long hair, it required some scheduling of shower time. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Wonderful home, location

We loved our stay to celebrate our parents 50th anniversary! Plenty of space for all, large table for dinner. We could even enjoy the view outside while it rained on the outdoor covered patio. The lawn was perfect for cornhole and other gamesZ we loved the stargazer patio to watch the sunset and lounge with cocktails. Easy beach access to put in kayaks and fishing from the rocks. Wonderful stay!

Fantastic Home

My family loved this house. We loved hanging out on the porch and watching the water, my kids loved playing in the tide pools, and everyone loved playing games on the back lawn. The house was large enough that everyone had their space but cozy too. It was fantastic.

What a great vibe

We had a great week in this beautiful home. The home sits at the end of the road so the view is perfect. The large porch is such a great place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee, or enjoy family and friends. We spent lots of time in the beautiful yard as well. We highly recommend this home as a place to enjoy Maine.

Fantastic Maine Experience

We were staying in the home because of a family wedding in Friendship. The house is as advertised — charming. The best part for us was the abundant outdoor space open to a finger of the Atlantic Ocean. We spent as much time as we could outside, but when inside we could spread out on three levels. Looking forward to a return visit.

Experience in July

Wonderful vacation spot. Home and location were a success for our family. Couple suggestions for future: 2 days in July had 90 degree weather and no A/C - was uncomfortable heat/humidity on top 2 floors those days. House very clean except for some parts of kitchen - just need some attention to details there. Overall a very enjoyable holiday.

Extended family vacation

Beautiful home that accommodated our large family of 10 ranging in age from 12- 86. Beautiful views from the jacuzzi on the top floor. Convenient, yet private area. Gorgeous front yard that the kids played endless hours of spikeball and kayaked from while the adults sat and enjoyed the view. Well stocked kitchen. Very useful and descriptive house book with details to the hoise and area. We had a great 5 day visit. And the host was very responsive before and during our stay.

Great place to stay, setting and house are perfect

My wife, 2 dogs and I stayed at the house for 3 weeks. Vered and Don were great hosts and their local help were always there to lend a hand and advice when needed. Having your morning coffee while watching the lobster boats go out, taking a hike in the woods right off the property and then exploring nearby Rockland, Camden and Boothbay Harbor were perfect ways to spend the day. On rainy days the house is a perfect place to just rest, with top of the line furniture and appliances in the kitchen. Fishing off the big rock during low tide and exploring the tidal pools just topped everything off. We will definitely be back.

Location! Location! Location!

Amazing views and ability to watch lobstermen from the back porch! Could not stay away from the water!! Interesting home as well. Nice seating for meals and on the back porch. Living room didn't accommodate our party of 7, but we made due. WiFi was frustrating - very inconsistent and made scouting for day trips a bit more difficult. Again... It worked out and we had a wonderful, memorable week together, which was the goal. Our thanks from PA, IA, TN, and FL. 👍👍👍👍

Beautiful & Peaceful Getaway

We were looking to unplug from the world. And we did. The house is situated at the end of a road - at the waters edge. It’s filled with what I call “love” energy. Like your favorite grandmother - it wraps her arms around you the moment you cross the threshold and hugs you. The kitchen had all the tools and equipment we needed for cooking and serving. We used two of the five bedrooms. Beds and linens were great to sleep in. The house was spacious and the furnishings comfortable. Rockland and Camden ME are just up the road. We had a fantastic dinner at Natalie’s located in the Camden Harbor Inn. Our hosts get an A+.

Maine - Exactly the Way it Should Be

We are a multi-generational family that vacations in Maine every year (ages 16-84). Don and Vered's home in Friendship was perfect in every way. Beautiful home and spectacular location. Within a quiet neighborhood but feels like your own world. Coastal home with European flair. Easy access to the beach and short walk in the woods. Highlights included coffee and a great book on the covered patio when it rained, the stargazing patio (sun and stars), a Bald Eagle landing in our yard, the morning visits of a Blue Heron, kayaking on smooth waters, being entertained by seals, fresh lobster (out and at home), day trips to Rockland, Vinalhaven, Freeport, Acadia, and Damariscotta, grilling dinners for 11 people on the amazing grill! Communication with Don was phenomenal. Very responsive, welcoming, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Overall great week!

Beautiful views, right next to the ocean, and great veranda to enjoy the weather, rainy or sunny. Star-gazing patio has especially fantastic views! Luxurious thick towels and top quality bed linens were delightful. Nice to have an induction stove. Nice collection of CDs and DVDs , even though we did not watch the DVDs or TV. Only two comments: -The house is somewhat smaller than we expected. -It would have been good to know that the room with a queen and a twin ended up being the master bedroom. That made a big difference in planning. Overall, a fantastic week! We have stayed in many different houses rented through VRBO over the years, and this has to be the one with the most unusual collection of luxurious amenities!

Responsive Owner

We had a concern, and the owner was gracious and proficient in addressing it. Overall, the place is stunning. The extensive woodwork seemed to have brought in from historic Europe. The house is very well equipped. It could use a spiffing up here and there and the owner is attending personally to the details. The listing shows a twin bed. This bed is actually a double bed air mattress on the top floor on a window ledge [very secure]. Added accuracy here would have helped us in our planning. The owner provides an extensive guide to the house, one of the best we've ever seen. He also sends a complete set of arrival instructions.
