9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (47)
"My two sisters and I loved everything about the place especially the kitchen and the temperature control via AC or heat. The only concern about the place is that it took 1-3 tries each time we had to unlock the front door by code. There was supposed to be music to help but couldn't really hear anything. May need some attention but have to admit we never alerted anyone at the time thinking it was related to our ineptitude! I tried to do this review on the Vacasa site but the page never came up...

"It was the best view of Casco Bay and such a unique home. Beautiful accommodations that are both historic yet updated for comfort and convenience. Our host was phenomenal!

I assume after calling the number it was serviced as it never went off again although no follow up call or note was left that it had been serviced?"

Also had a fully stocked kitchen and starter products, which is always helpful. The location on the water is beautiful, but we were disappointed we could not swim off the dock. Signs are posted saying no jumping into the water (understandable given the tides), but the ladder was not in a condition for use (covered in thick algae and...
