The view of the bay is lovely.

The house was very nice. It has a great view of the bay. It is just minutes from Brunswick and Bath. We saw ducks, geese, and wild turkeys during our stay.

A great home with a beautiful view of the river. Was memorized by the lightning bugs at night. Will certainly remember this spot if I'm in the area again.

Very vacation rental for 2 families

My family enjoyed staying here. The well stocked kitchen and large amount of sleeping/eating space made this rental perfect for two families staying together. Removed one star for lack of AC. Maine is only hot enough for AC a few weeks a year, but window units would really help out.

Great view

Beautiful view of the bay and nature. Lovely sitting outside or on the porch. Basic house. Only problem was hot water system--all showers were either scalding hot or cold, couldn't calibrate any of them.

Roomy/busy street/needs good cleanig

We had ants in kitchen and bedroom, dishes were dirty, does have a lot of room. They provide quite a bit of sample items such as ( shampoo, soap, dish detergent, laundry soap etc) The view from the porch is beautiful however you can’t enjoy it outdoors in the chairs under the shade trees because of the brown tailed moths. Needless to say we ended up leaving a day early

We deeply apologize for the pest issues you experienced during your stay and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Our homes are treated quarterly for pests, and our property manager has assured us that they are taking preventative measures to combat the entrance of unwanted critters. Regrettably, with the home's rainforest location, as well as the climate of the island, pests are not uncommon. We hope to have the opportunity to host you for another great stay in the future.
