Family Vacation

The house and the owners were great. They checked in frequently to see that we had everything we needed. Georgetown is a lovely little town that isn’t full of the tourists trap shops that you might find in Wells or Old Orchard Beach. Five Island has a great local seafood joint, you can also rent kayaks at the general store. Reed State Park is right down the road which has a lovely beach. I highly recommend the house and the location.

Great memorable time!

We had a great time at Tranquility. It lives up to its name. Nestled in the woods, it was nice and quiet as we were an active family of 7. We had a great memorable time. The location in Georgetown was great. Had great amenities. Wonderful spacious and open kitchen. Enjoyed the grill. Beds were comfortable. We took advantage of the state park pass that was provided and had a great time at Reid State Park. Our family had a great time and had wonderful memories of our first trip to Maine. Looking forward to coming back sometime!

Enjoyed Tranquility

Enjoyed staying in Georgetown, going to Reid State Park, Popham Beach (my favorite beach) and eating the excellent seafood at Five Island Lobster Company. It was awesome that the park pass was provided with the house rental. I liked the area although the location was a little too remote for my daughter.

2nd stay here

This was our 2nd stay here, we stayed last summer also. We love the house, the yard, the entire atmosphere is awesome. The 4 bedrooms are perfect for our family and the kitchen is the perfect size to do everything we need to do. We only wish the access to more water was better as you can run out pretty quickly if you have a lot of people wanting to shower after a day at the beach. The state park pass is awesome so you can go to Reid or Popham and just show them the hockey stick which they all get a good chuckle over. There’s not really any quick grocery stores close so I suggest stopping at Walmart in Brunswick or shaws before you head to the house. We grab enough food for the week before we even get to the house so we can just concentrate on unpacking and head to the beach everyday. I wish there were TVs in all the bedrooms for the kids/adults if they just want to watch their favorite programs at night or on rainy days. We bring a couple small smart TVs that have the kids channels on them. We will be returning next summer for a 3rd time cuz we just love it here and we just work with the water situation. Ann is awesome when you need anything and Tim is the nicest guy when something needs fixing. Can’t wait for next year!!!

July getaway

This home was the most well appointed home I’ve every booked through VRBO, it had everything we needed. I usually pack the basics and after I arrived, I walked through the home and put all my things back in my car as Tranquillity was so well stocked. I thought the lack of AC was going to be a problem but the ceiling fans were amazing and kept us very comfortable. The beach pass to Reid State Park was used almost every day - we visited Pomham beach which was great but it was a bit further away. The only comment I have is that this home would benefit from a second bathroom. I otherwise just loved the house and I would like to rent again in the future! Tom was super accommodating as was his housekeeper. Very enjoyable week off!

Lovely Christmas Week

One of the few properties available in winter, this was an excellent place to stay while visiting relatives who live nearby. Tranquility had just the right amount of space for the 5 adults who were staying there. It is secluded in the woods, very quiet and set back from the road, but not too far. Due to the snow and ice we had, the owner took care of having the drive plowed and sanded, so getting up the drive was no problem. The house is very basic itself, but the kitchen was well equipped to make any kind of meal. The cherry cabinets and warm woodwork throughout the house added to the charm of the house. One piece of advice to anyone who has not been to the area, is to stop in Bath first to load up on groceries as there are no fully stocked stores in Georgetown in the winter. (In the summer and early fall months, there is Five Islands Farm, just down the road on the way to the wharf. (Five Islands Farm provides everything you'd need for great meals, including local fresh produce, artisan cheese, sausage and great wines and beer.) One word of warning, is that when you first enter the house, there is a strong musty oder, but that quickly dissipated. It may have been due to the house not being used for awhile, since we came in late December. The only other "annoyance" was a lack of table lamps since all of us like to sit and read and dislike having ceiling lights on. All in all, Tranquility was a great place to stay. Tom, the owner was very responsive and took care of any questions we had. We would stay here again and would highly recommend it.

Perfection

Our third stay at Tranquility was as perfect as our first. The proximity to Reid State Park makes the location ideal and the amenities at the house are outstanding: privacy, gorgeous kitchen, comfy couches and sat TV. Thank you Thomas for providing this home for us to enjoy.

Terrific place!

Wonderful home. Clean, neat, very nicely finished. Great location. Lots of room. Everything we needed to feel right at home. Really appreciated the park pass to enjoy Reid State Park and Popham Beach. (And the ranger at the gate had a good chuckle over the hockey stick presentation!). I could happily move to this place tomorrow. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!

Secluded property with no visible neighbors. All 4 bedrooms were a good size, and the shower is huge with 2 shower heads. Internet and data was pretty good, but cell service almost anywhere in Georgetown was spotty. Reid state park is about 5 miles away, but it’s a quick and easy drive. If you’re looking for a combination of woods and beach, it’s a good place to stay.

Stay number 2

This was my second time staying in Tranquility and it was just as wonderful. I stayed here with my wife and three kids. We love Reid State Park and this house is only minutes away. The house is well kept and pristine. Every part of the house has been well kept and being a contractor myself for over 10 years you can tell right away the owner cares about this house. It makes all the difference in the world when staying in a place that is well cared for. The house comes with a pass for the parks which is a time saving and a huge perk. Everything you need is right at the house. Everything is modern up to date and all at a very affordable rate. You would be hard pressed to find a comparable deal! Thanks Tom for another wonderful vacation!

Tranquility plus

Tranquility is a a very comfortable vacation home with all the amenities you need for a relaxing Maine experience. We fell in love with Reid State Park as it is more than just a beach and offers salt marshes and interesting rock formations. It's only minutes from the house. The owner is very responsive and kindly installed Directv for us, which we enjoyed in the evenings and for morning weather forecasts.
