This had everything we were looking for. Heavily used the fleet of kayaks, the campfire, and the nearby beach just a two minute walk away. We enjoyed the open concept main floor for congregating.

Castine is beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better location. We were very close to a public beach, which our dogs loved. The view from the house is amazing and the yard is lovely. To be fair to future travelers, we have to be honest about the house. To say it needs updating is a huge understatement. The decor is old, but not quaint and cute, we’re talking 80’s garage sale. A lounge chair with duct tape on it hiding a tear. A deck chair that ripped as soon as my husband sat on it. The kitchen is ill equipped for much cooking. Limited tools and not one baking sheet or roasting pan. Plan to eat out although there are very limited restaurants in town. And there is no A/C. I suppose people in Maine know to look for this, but not people from Texas. It was horribly hot and humid on the second and third floors. The description said there were fans, but they were caked in dust so we had to go buy more. The basement was cooler because of the dehumidifier so we slept there by pushing the two twin beds together. There’s only one TV and it’s on the second floor so no curling up in bed and watching TV. It is a smart TV so there’s that. The beach behind the property was really just a bunch of huge rocks and seaweed. I’ve never seen bathrooms like these. I don’t really even know how to describe them, plastic, old grout, Formica. Let’s just say I stopped shaving my legs so I could get in and out as quickly as possible. Again, nice location, but not very comfortable for us.

The house is lovely and the views and sunsets are breathtaking! My grandsons enjoyed kayaking, lawn games and of course a fire and smoores. My daughter’s wedding was held at the Wilson Museum and family and friends came from all over the east coast to be with us. Also celebrated my birthday on the beach nearby with a lobster boil! We all had a wonderful time!

What a lovely spot in Castine! Tucked away on the back shore area, we enjoyed exploring the cove with the kayaks, made use of the well-stocked kitchen, played spirited games of Scrabble, and were wowed by the gorgeous sunsets. Mary Lou was incredibly responsive when needed. We hope to return soon!

The house was exactly as described, in a beautiful, quiet spot on the Maine coast, a short walk down from a sandy beach. We enjoyed paddling with the provided kayaks, exploring Castine and nearby towns, and just hanging out on the porches in by the fire pit. Mary Lou was very responsive and easy to work with.

We had such a fantastic week here! Mary Lou was really great with communication before and during our stay. The house was very clean and it was very well suited for our family of 6 in terms of sleeping arrangements and amenities (kayaks, games,etc.) for the kids. We are so grateful that we found this place!

Really enjoyed 10 days at Peregrine House. Easy place to stay. Plenty of room for 6 adults and a dog. Great views, easy access to Castine which is quiet and lovely. Short walk to small beach nearby and steps down to rocks behind the house. Kayaks were a plus. The fans and blinds kept the house cool day and night, even tho there is no air conditioning. Evening breezes ensured a comforable night. The beds were comfortable. A couple of twin beds were past their prime and the host very quickly replaced them. Kitchen was well stocked. Could use a veg peeler and a salad spinner, otherwise we had everything we could possibly need including a large refrigerator that could hold a lot of food and made good ice. House was easy to spread out in. Excellent washer and dryer made staying clean a breeze. All in all a terrific house for a small crowd. Easy to entertain both inside and outside with lots of room to spread out. Located on quiet street just outside of Castine on Penobscot Bay, Real value for the money and the host is easy to reach and very responsive.
