Paradise in Maine!

We stayed with family and friends in this amazing home over Labor Day weekend +. The home and property are spectacular and the views are incredible. Only a 5 min walk to the beach, but completely private and secluded. Can’t wait to come back!

Dreamy house on the best coast strip in Maine

This home exceeded our expectations and made for a very memorable week for the 3 families that stayed there. The access the Higgins Beach, the pool, the game room, and the local market and everything coastal Maine has to offer. Such a gem and would love to come back someday!

Serenity at the Seashore

What a nice home! The outdoor space was set up quite nicely. The pool, the grill with a refrigerator and an outdoor fireplace was ideal. This is a large home so we had oodles of space. It’s a very short walk (3/10’s) to expansive Higgins Beach which may be the nicest beach in the Portland area and everyone had a great time.

Absolutely Amazing!

I'm not sure I can properly put into words how amazing this home is. We considered writing a bad review so we could have it all to ourselves! 🙂 We've been fortunate to stay in some of the nicest homes/hotels in the country, but this was hands down the most beautiful place we've ever had the pleasure to stay. We thought it was too good to be true and when we finally arrived, all our expectations were exceeded. The pictures on VRBO do not do this home justice. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and I simply cannot exaggerate enough about the breathtaking view of the ocean. It is visible from practically every room in the house. The landscaping surrounding the home is perfectly manicured all the way to the edge of the cliff, where a perfect little seating area was situated to enjoy the waves crashing against the rocks. It was clean, modernized, and with the exception of the oven, was extremely easy to operate, including the Sonos sound system throughout the house. Unfortunately, it was late October so we could not take advantage of the awesome pool, but we sat around the outdoor fireplace which was situated just behind the pool and adjacent to one of the best outdoor kitchens I've ever seen. The house never seemed to end. The Bedrooms were enormous and the bathrooms were the size of normal bedrooms. There were 10 of us and we still didn't use every room. The game room on the lower level was perfect for our group. We played pool, darts, watched football and enjoyed the beautiful bar area which sat across the phenomenal theatre room. Finally, the owner was super accommodating and answered all our questions in a very timely manner. We hope the owner never retires as we want to rent this home every year, if not, multiple times per year!!
