Great place! Our host was very responsive and the house was very clean and had everything we needed. The views are amazing! Just sitting inside or outside and looking at the water is lovely, and it's a great location for exploring all the beauty of Downeast.

We loved the house on the bluff over looking the coming and goings of the lobster boats. We enjoyed both the inside fireplace and outside fire pit. Great place to recharge.

My husband and I stayed for a week and it was and it was difficult to leave, we both enjoyed just sitting by the fire pit watching the lobster boats go by and watched as they unload their catch just down the beach. We walked along the beach and found a few treasures to bring home, also just a short drive away you can buy lobster right off the boat you will never find any thing fresher than that!!!! It was very quiet and peaceful, I can't wait to have the chance to go back!

I came to Washington County to paint in a beautiful location and to walk beaches in the cooler air of Eastern Maine. I loved the old house, the quiet neighborhood, the fresh breezes here. Sandy River Beach was an easy 3 mile drive when I wanted a quick break, a clean sand beach that was great for walking. Townspeople are friendly and helpful. Although I didn’t explore the area because I pretty much had what I wanted at “home” there’s lots to check out for the more intrepid. I will return.

Had a lovely time. Loved the house, the fire pit and the beach.

We were delighted with this lovely old house and especially the view and the surrounding area. We enjoyed Sandy River Beach in perfect weather, and are some nice family meals in the dining room. My favourite thing was seeing the boats in the harbour from all the Oceanside windows. The town is quiet and full of history.

Very nicely organized property.

The location of this house was great and made it easy to explore the surrounding areas. The house itself was clean and had everything we needed for the week. It is a very beautiful, interesting older home with a spectacular view out across the water and boats. We enjoyed walking on the beach and watching the sunsets from the backyard. The communication with the host was easy and helpful. We really loved our stay here and hope to be able to visit again soon.

Whether it’s misty or clear, waking up to see the lobster boats docked is the perfect start to any day on vacation. The stars are amazing at night without any “light pollution.” The house itself is beautiful and helps you slide right back in time. The kitchen has everything you’ll need. You can but lobsters down the road a Looks and cook them outside for a real down east treat. It was great having a washer and dryer…truly everything you need to get away and a location that can’t be beat!

This is a sweet older wooden farmhouse facing the water in a small quiet lobstering community. It's clean, convenient, and cozy, has a really thoughtfully set up kitchen with all the things you would need, many comfy places to sit and chat, lots of charming details, and is near all kinds of amazing outdoor adventures, Maine historic sites, etc. There is only one somewhat old fashioned bathroom which may not suit some travelers, but for our group of 3 friends it was the perfect peaceful and comfortable setting for a magical few days of cooking, eating, hiking, talking and reconnecting. A truly special place!

Our stay was all we hoped it would be. The Victorian is welcoming with wide moldings, bright walls and wood floors. We walked Sandy River beach, Jasper Beach in Machias to collect so many beautiful ocean smoothed stones, the Nature Conservancy land on Great Waas, ate lots of lobster and crab, and relaxed. Scott was very prompt responding to questions and inquiries, What was there not to like??

The backyard is massive and gives you a great view of the lobster boats coming and going. The majority of our time at the house, was spent outside watching the boats, eating meals, and walking the beach. Note that the firewood on the property is not for guest use, and you have to bring your own, which was difficult for us, since we were traveling by motorcycle. And the beach was picked pretty clean of dry wood, so we didn't get to have any evening fires. House itself is quirky and charming, and beds were comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped (our only suggestion would be a 12 cup coffee maker). The location of the house is ideal for day trips to Quoddy State Park, Lubec, Bangor, and Bar Harbor. Grocery store and pizza place are close also. The locals are very friendly and we highly recommend getting fresh lobster from the Beals Jonesport Co-op. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

Spacious Victorian home on the ocean. Very well equipped! There is a grocery store 10 minutes away. The house was perfect for family dinners. There was room for the grandkids to spread out. Owner left a chess game which my son in law took advantage of to teach the 7 and 9 to play. The back yard was fantastic for outdoor games. Lots of ball playing. The sea glass on the beach was amazing. We all had fun collecting! The Sandy River beach, 8 minutes away is a must. When the tide is down you can walk to an island for a hike. The expansive beach was perfect for walking. Roque Bluffs state park about 35 minutes was a great picnic spot. If you are looking for a meal out and pie to die for the 30 minute drive to Machias is s must. For the hikers in your family there Beal’s island. My daughter snd son in law loved. And every day, the fire put was a perfect ending! Can’t wait to go back !

Excellent stay

This property was fabulous and exactly as pictured and described. Scott got back to me immediately with any questions/concerns and my security deposit was quickly refunded. Definitely would recommend!

I chose this house as it was close to my daughter's work. Initially the host was very friendly. I then had to contact VRBO the day before my stay as I hadn't gotten the arrival instructions and they were finally sent. Upon arrival the house had a faint odor of smoke which I reported the next day, it was apparent after the house was closed up that the windows had been left open at our arrival for a reason. I also reported a cockroach in the spice cabinet, a weak microwave and a very, very rusted sub-par shower. As the area is so remote there are was no other options so we stuck it out. On our last day, I tried to use the dryer and found out it wasn't legally vented, a rock was over the hole in the floor! I immediately stopped using it. I reported this as well in a friendly manner and asked for the extra insurance money back as well as half of the VRBO fee due to my valid issues. My request was ignored over text so I followed up on VRBO. This is the rude reply I received. Had I gotten my hundred dollars or even a professional e-mail, I won't have bothered with a review but given the owner's tone, I felt other people should know. By the way as there was no dish rack, I did leave multiple clean dishes on the counter to dry and a coffee cup or two and a plate in the sink as I had run out of room. From the "host": It also could not be more obvious with the dryer vent on the floor to stick it out the window (REALLY???). I'll bet you got your laundry dry at the expense of additional dampness in my house. But, you could not wash the sink full of dirty dishes you left. (Got my full deposit back - no extra cleaning charges). I suspect your complaints, including to VRBO a scam to get money back. You stayed the entire rental duration and I will not succumb to suspect behavior. Also pretty sure you are holding a bad review over my head. Well go right ahead as it will soon be buried in good reviews and I will respond accordingly anyway. I will also be pleased to review my experience with you as VRBO guest.
