Summary: We were looking for a place to accommodate 12 people comfortably, be with in an hour of an airport for those of us flying in from CO, be close enough to Acadia for a couple day trips, be on or close to the water and be within walking distance to a town. This checked all the boxes and did not disappoint. We brought our kayaks, bikes, volleyball/badminton. We really enjoyed our walks around town, sunset walks to the trail at the Dyce's Head lighthouse and sunrise paddles. We also had a great afternoon at the beach at Wadsworth Cove. The house had plenty of room for everyone, and you could always find a quiet place to read or relax, especially on one of the beautiful porches. We really appreciated having soaps, linens, towels (even beach towels),paper goods and things like plastic wrap, foil and sandwich bags supplied. Jen was very responsive and went above and beyond, even checking in during the week to be sure all was well. Very grateful to have found such a gem.
