About the host
Hosted by Kim
Our family lives and works in Maine and are usually not far from Ruby. We are a family of teachers, artists, athletes, and social workers.
Why they chose this property
We love Ruby for her quirky charm, stunning views, and access to Sandy River Beach for shell collecting, swimming, relaxing, kayaking, and paddle boarding.
What makes this property unique
Sandy River beach has huge and beautiful tides. It's so much fun to walk out to Bar Island when the tide is out and hunt for shells, sea glass, and other traces of wildlife. The birds are also incredible!
