Basking in the lovely views!
We loved the location, especially the view. They wwere truly from every window. The kitchen was well equipped. We cooked lobster in the lobster pot and when finished, enjoyed the dining room views. Christmas Cove is a beautiful neighborhood, the setting for a lovely vacation.

Beautiful Maine Coastal House
We had a great stay, but did not realize how long of a drive it was to go and visit other towns and areas of interest so be prepared to drive if you like to sightsee. Another thing we had no idea about were ticks. Be aware that if you walk around in long grass or weeds you will probably pick up a tick or two. Not a big deal, but just be aware of it.

No description can do this property justice!
We just got home today from a wonderful vacation. The scenery from the windows is stunning. The rooftop deck on the 2nd floor was a great place to just hang out in the evenings and watch the sun set. The public beach within walking distance was perfect for a 7 year old and a 9 year old to play in the water while the adults sat on the rocks. The kitchen had everything you could need to cook any meal. It was a wonderful place for 3 generations of our family to come together for a week. We usually stay around Boothbay Harbor but this house was close enough to go to Boothbay and Pemaquid every day of you want or perfect to stay at from the usual tourist spots and just lounge around. There's a gas station/convenience store/grill just right up the road. They'll sell you live lobster right off the boat or they'll steam them for you. And everybody was so friendly. I could go on and on about how great this house was but you can't understand how special it is until you experience it yourself.

Beautiful Views!
This home was very cozy and had amazing views! You can see the sun rise and the sun set! The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you would ever need to cook. The owners are very nice and available. We are staying there again next year!

The View!
We loved this property. The views are breathtaking. Since we were traveling with both family and friends, the lack of a half bath on first floor was a bit odd - didn't want to go through the bedroom that wasn't yours, but we made it work. Bring a power strip if you need to be able to plug in computers, phones, etc. Dining room is great for a big group. Can't wait to go back!

Spacious living room with a nice wood burning fireplace which was perfect for chilly nights. Two bedrooms with an incredible view, one better than the other.
