Where do I even start?
This home was a TRUE home away from home for me and my husband. It was a beautiful home on the ocean, yet it still had such a comfortable vibe to it that we actually never wanted to leave during our stay! The house was spotless, as was the yard. And that ocean view, so beautiful, we ate every meal on the deck! The kitchen was great, lots of counter space - plenty of cookware, toaster oven, coffee maker, dishwasher, microwave, large fridge - all the comforts of home. We had a couple of questions for Cynthia and Rod, they called us back immediately and were extremely accomidating, great communication, and friendly too! They even had idiot proof (which meant, even I had no trouble! ha!) tv remotes/DVD and my husband gave the wireless connection two thumbs way up! Master bedroom was fabulous with even a walk in closet! We actually stayed most of the nights in one of the first floor bedrooms (due to the comfort of our dogs) and the beds were super comfy.
We had taken our two golden retrievers with us and they were in their glory the entire week. Keep in mind, we did not leave our dogs alone for a minute in the house. Please note - pet owners, this home is wonderful, do not bring your pet if you are going to leave it alone to go to the beach. The neighbordhood was so quiet and peaceful (another luxurious perk of the house!) - having a dog by themselves all day, barking up a storm, would really ruin things for the neighbors (and it would give those of us responsible pet owners a bad name!).
Stuff that was close by: 5 minutes drive to Short Sands Beach, 10 minutes drive to Nubble Light, 10 minutes drive to Anthony's (best pizza and subs in York), 13 minutes drive to Hannaford's for groceries, 15 minutes drive to Mt Agamenticus (beach in the morning, mountains in the afternoon - so perfect!), 15 minutes drive to Kittery & the outlets and 25 minutes drive to Congdon's Doughnuts in Wells (best donut you will ever have in your life, go early).
Highlights for me: Meals on the deck with that gorgeous ocean view, the crisp ocean breezes in the warm afternoons, the sunrises, the sunsets, the rainbow that appeared over the ocean after a brief rainstorm, the smell of the wildflowers when walking down the pathway to the beach, and the best part - it was so peaceful (you could hear the waves crashing at night, and if you were on the deck). Sounds made up, but it's all true.
If you need to relax and rejuvinate - this is the home for you!
