Great midcoast Maine location about an hour from both Freeport and Camden. Had a wonderful stay with our two sons and their wives. Layout was perfect for us, with cozy seating areas in shared open space and bed/bath privacy for each couple. Kitchen was well stocked and big enough for prepping meals together. House is in a private, quiet, natural setting yet is still just minutes away from grocery, dining, shopping, and sightseeing options. Glad we stayed here!

Great place to stay

The location was lovely and the house was especially great for a big group and people who like to cook most of their meals. Definitely one of the better kitchens of the various rental homes I’ve stayed in. Vacasa was very prompt and hospitable meeting any our requests or needs. A great experience overall.

The location of the house was perfect. Peaceful with nice backyard deck. The house needs a good, thorough cleaning. There was clutter throughout the house, the kitchen poorly organized with random items put where ever there was space.

Large Secluded Home

Property is lovely with gorgeous yard and gardens. We were there with another couple. One couple stayed upstairs and we stayed downstairs with our own bathroom. Property is lovely and would be perfect for a large group. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to find.

Great house for a big group

We stayed in May of 2022 and the house was clean and as described. We were a group of 10 ladies and there was plenty of room for all of us, and the living room area had plenty of room for us all to curl up and watch a movie (a lot of houses don't have living rooms that can accommodate that many people comfortably). Would definately stay here again!!

Clean home with large entertaining opportunity

We were in town for a wedding so did not get to spend a ton of time at the property which is a shame. The home has many areas to enjoy your morning coffee or beverage at night. Stunning back yard and ocean views on top floors. Will definitely consider for future trips. Communication was great we really did not need any intervention.

Great view, quiet property, well-appointed

We stayed as part of an extended family trip (six adults plus an infant), and had a great visit. The house is well-appointed on a really quiet property. We like to cook when traveling, and really enjoyed the kitchen. Plenty of room to spread out across families, including the huge deck space. The view of the ocean from the third floor is under-represented from the photos online; we were pleasantly surprised by the ocean vista. Access to Boothbay is easy, and we enjoyed hiking to the coast at the nearby Linekin Preserve. The DVD and book collection at the house is great. A perfect match for the trip we were looking for.

This is the second time I have rented this house. It is beautiful, clean and spacious for my family and you will want for nothing. My only heartache with this place is the price goes up a thousand or more every year- I really wanted to book again for 2025 but its out of my reach.

Weekend with friends

We were celebrating my sister getting married soon. Overall it was a great experience and a comfortable space for us all to enjoy. Not too far from downtown Boothbay Harbor while also having privacy. Check in was delayed by an hour due to the property still being cleaned from the previous guests and the trash outside was overflowing. Other than that, which wasn’t super impactful just some mild inconveniences, it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone with a larger group.

Needs handyman

Beautiful house beautiful location. However there are multiple things in the house that need repair and would greatly improve the experience:no deadbolt on entry door. Windows that won't open, table leg broken, broken dining chair, Brok en kitchen faucet, broken cabinet door, broken chaise, and more.
