About this house rental

Nestled in Port Clyde, this lovely house for $566 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Newly renovated Gardenwalk Crest Spacious 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath, ocean view home. As you take the short drive through Raspberry Lane the first thing you'll realize is that it is the perfect mix of privacy and convenience. The short road curves with the harbor so you can walk right into town, or enjoy the quiet serenity of your vacation spot. Situated on a gentle rise of land, this location overlooks Port Clyde village and harbor, with views beyond the nearby islands to Muscongus Bay. Upon your arrival you can park inside the two bay garage or in one of the two off-road spots in front of the garage. The home is situated on a large sloping lot with gracious lawns and a spectacular professionally maintained flower garden. Just below the deck is the cutting garden with a winding stone walkway. You will find no shortage of inspiration at this beautiful location. The garden and lawn area are ideal for setting up easels, photography, watching butterflies or seeing a great variety of birds. The water is tidal here so you will need to time your swimming adventures with the tides, however there is the nearby Drift Inn Beach for more spontaneous dips! The Port Clyde General Store is just 5 minutes away and has moorings to rent for your convenience. You enter this beautiful home through the kitchen which has a modern feel. The attractive shelving design offers immediate assurance that you have everything needed to dine in. Prepare your favorite meals, or experiment with local fare such as fresh caught Maine lobster! The kitchen has a large range with oven, a full-sized stainless refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water, a dishwasher and all the dinnerware, utensils and cookware you might need. We've thought of everything. For your convenience there is a Keurig and a standard coffee maker, a toaster and a blender on the counter. The sturdy island offers seating for 3 and is the perfect spot to gather for an intimate breakfast before starting your day. To the right of the kitchen is the half bath which has a toilet and vanity sink with mirror. In this area is also a laundry room with a washer, dryer and folding area as well as a pantry to store your food. Moving along you enter the dining/living room area. This spacious part of the house brings together two of the most important parts about vacation: great meals with friends and family at the 6 person wooden dining table, where you can talk, laugh and the conversation just flows, and the comfortable seating areas with sofa and arm chairs. It doesn't matter if you are watching a TV show, playing board/card games, are nestled up on the couch with a glass of wine, or maybe just resting on the settee with a soft throw blanket and a book, the sense of relaxation just washes over you. The smart flat screen TV has basic cable, is internet ready and there is a Blu-ray player. If you prefer to be outside in the ocean air, the doors off the dining room bring you to an ocean-facing deck. Here you find a breathtaking view, lounge chairs, a patio table with 6 chairs and a grill and fire pit! Returning inside, you head up to the second floor where there are two king sized bedrooms both with ocean vistas. Each bedroom has L.L. Bean bedding, a closet and nightstands with lamps. Two of the king bedrooms have basic cable television with smart TV’s. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a partial ocean view. It has nightstands with lamps and a large closet in the hallway.

Area Amenities: It's a short 5-minute walk or bike ride to the village post office, ice cream store and Port Clyde General Store, which is open daily, specializing in morning coffee and pastries, corn, blueberries, native lobsters, fresh cut meats, and all grocery supplies. This is a pleasantly old and proud Maine community with its own library in Tenants Harbor, a great school, fire department, rescue ambulance and is serviced by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office.

We spent a relaxing week enjoying this beautiful home and didn’t want to leave. The panoramic view, loads of windows, comfortable furniture and beautiful artwork are just a few of the things that make this an extra special house. Each day, our dog was anxious to explore the area and sit on the deck with us. Looking forward to returning!!!

The property is beautifully maintained and comfortable for 6 adults. We enjoyed a perfect fall week, with views of the active harbor, walks, and day-trips to explore the area. We return every year to enjoy the beauty of Port Clyde and the surrounding areas - nothing like it!

The Gardenwalk house is a lovely home with beautiful views of the harbor and nearby islands. We spent many hours enjoying the deck and the fire pit. The house was very clean and well-kept. The beds were very comfortable and the noise of the harbor early in the morning was not a problem for anyone in our family — I did turn the fans on at night to provide white noise which may have made a difference. I highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Port Clyde.

We had an ideal family vacation in Port Clyde at 8 Raspberry Lane. We have been coming to Maine and St George Peninsula for 16 years but this was our first time staying directly in the village/harbor of Port Clyde. The home itself was incredibly comfortable (the beds!!) and the furnishings and decor were very elevated for a rental (beautiful artwork, incredibly comfortable beds, top of the line kitchen equipment, furniture, etc). Best of all was the wrap around view from the living room and the deck, which was gorgeous. We also took advantage of the very sweet fishing cottage down below for games of cards at night and sitting by the fire pit, which was such a unique feature of the house. The location was mostly perfect because we were traveling with not-yet-driving-teenagers so they were able to walk easily to town and visit the general store, the ice cream shop, and the coffee shop. As a family we also took walks to the lighthouse which is a must. The one issue for some might be the close proximity to the lobster pound, which we didn't realize how close it was. A huge plus is that we were able to buy lobsters directly off the dock and the price could not be beat. But the docks were lit up and busy at all hours of the night and from the bedroom you could hear trucks and workers coming and going at 1am, 3am. For us we would stay again because of all the other wonderful features and we like a little activity, but if you want solitude then this might not be the right spot.

We loved this property. The garden was perfectly bordered and maintained which made the dog stay easier. The house was outfitted with everything we could possibly need. The views were exactly what we wanted. The bedrooms had king sized beds (in 2 of them). The house was also perfectly decorated. Loved it! Coming back soon.

Loved Port Clyde, especially being able to walk the short distance into the village: meals on the water, ice cream, breakfast & shopping at the Port Clyde General Store, the Wyeth and Barbara Ernst Prey galleries, hopping the boat to Monhegan for a day of hiking, and a wonderful walk to the Marshall Point lighthouse. Loved the quirky, charming, rocky Drift In beach; and watching the lobster boats on the harbor. Some in our group rented kayaks which were dropped right at the boathouse, very convenient! The house was extremely clean and neat, and HGTV perfect. (We kinda missed the "vintage" Maine spirit, but we're probably the outliers). And Veronika couldn't have been more responsive to the few questions we had upon arrival. Especially helpful was the warning about the July 4th fireworks right in front of our deck. Long, loud, and beautiful, with the best seats in the house (if you're not a dog!) Only quirk of the house was the lack of cabinet space for storing groceries. And the lack of basic condiments and gen'l cooking supplies other than salt/pepper (sugar, mustard, etc.) we've always found in rentals over the years. This was our first VRBO – friends tell us that's typical. Otherwise, kitchen was expertly fitted out (if a bit tight to get around with six prepping for a meal.) One negative, the pics didn't quite alert us to the view of the road/trucks/work activity directly in front of the property. But the glorious garden between house and road helped make up for it!
