Incredible!

I took my 97 year old grandpa to Maine for a bucket list trip. Sara was very quick to respond to all my questions prior to arrival and made the process of getting there so simple. The home itself is beautiful! Far beyond what any picture could capture. Even with a somewhat rainy week we enjoyed every moment we were there. The room situation was perfect for our group of 7. If you are looking for a relaxing week in an absolutely gorgeous setting I would 100% recommend this property. Thank you Sara! We hope to be back!

One of a kind gem

Brought the family to Maine for a short weekend of leaves, lobster, and relaxation. Have stayed in southern Maine before but wanted to do some things in Bangor and spend time in Acadia and this location and house did not disappoint. The isolated location is phenomenal. 100% ocean views that did not disappoint and the night time star watching was awesome. The pictures of this house and location do not do it justice, just take our word for it and book this trip. Sara is a great host with an amazing property and we hope we can get back soon.

Amazing Property with Great Views

The house was amazing! Very clean inside and outside and plenty of room for us. The sights and sounds of the ocean made for relaxing evenings after hiking in Acadia, and the large back porch area allowed us to spend plenty of time outside. Corea was a nice little town with necessities relatively accessible. Pictures definitely do not do the property justice. I would stay here again!

A Return trip for Renewal

What a wonderful week we had. This beautiful home is so inviting and spacious. There is room for everyone to find a place to sit and read, watch TV, or just chill by the wonderful ocean. What a view! The house is designed for comfort. Everything is as described. This was our second time to spend in Corea at this lovely space. We all left feeling relaxed, refreshed and renewed.

Amazing Stay

When we booked this house over a year ago, my excitement was high and increased as each day passed. When we finally arrived, all my expectations were met plus some! We had a group of 9 with ages ranging from 5-69. Our stay was so peaceful and enjoyable! It was our two youngest first trip to Maine and their standard of vacationing in Maine was set VERY HIGH! We definitely want to come back!

Paradise by the Atlantic Ocean!

We were thrilled to stay at this property on our family trip to Maine! The view was fabulous, and the home was wonderful for the 10 of us! Each of the three adult couples had private bedrooms. The master bedroom had a bathroom connected to it. The 4 children were ecstatic about their upstairs bedroom with 6 queen-sized beds decorated with a nautical theme complete with a different native stuffed animal of Maine on each bed! The property was secluded from all other homes and we had a private path directly down to the rocky coastline! We often saw lobster boats checking their traps. When I talked to Sara on the phone with a question she was very pleasant and accommodating! Besides all of that the property is quite near to the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park! You could not go wrong renting this VRBO as we did for a six night stay!!

Maine paradise

We had an amazing time in Maine! The house is fantastic, and you can’t beat the view and privacy. We had everything we needed, and Sara was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We would go down to the water each morning and evening and just listen to the waves, so relaxing! This is the first time our group of friends and family have talked about going back to the same home 2 years in a row, it wouldn’t surprise me if we do.

Fantastic property on the Ocean

Had a wonderful time at the property. The house is one hour away from Acadia and 1:20 from the Bangor airport. It served as a great secluded location to enjoy the scenery while still being only an hour away from Acadia. The house was beautiful, very clean and very comfortable. The back patio is truly the highlight of the property with plenty of Adirondack chairs facing the ocean and a fantastic fire pit which we enjoyed nightly. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to get away or use as a home base to explore the beautiful Maine coast.

Amazing Beach House!

We loved this beach house! It was secluded and so quiet! We loved checking out the small fishing towns and eating the delicious food not far from the house! Every afternoon we would sit around the fire pit and listen to the waves. We had 5 kids and 5 adults and we were all comfortable and had plenty of space. We had a small hiccup which was out of anyones control and Sara was on it quick! We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

We love it here!!!!

This was our second time staying in your beautiful home. The first time was in the fall with friends we met on a European Cruise.We knew then, it would be the perfect location to share with our children and grandchildren. We all enjoyed walking down to the water and exploring ,the patio was perfect for dinner outside, water fights, sparklers, flying kites, relaxing around the fire pit ,and morning coffee watching the lobster boats.The house is spacious, quiet, and tucked away in a perfect location overlooking the ocean.

Delightful!

We loved staying here! First of all, it is difficult to find vacation homes that are accessible and we so appreciated the ramp into the home. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious and able to accomodate the equipment we needed to bring my son (wheelchair, hoyer lift). It had everything else we needed for my parents 50th anniversary trip too! It was sparkling clean. We enjoyed all the little things that were shared in the home (books, binoculars, games, puzzles, blankets, beach towels etc.) in addition to it having all we needed to cook meals and be comfortable in the home. We loved the beauty of the surroundings! My kids liked climbing the rocks by the ocean and exploring the tidepools. Schoodic Point nearby was a family favorite for climbing and exploring. And everyone enjoyed having this lovely, private location to come back to after being out for the day. And some stayed at the house for a day of true relaxation. We didn’t need anything while we were there, but Sara was great with other communication. We did have fog most of the time (last week of June), but we just went with it. We heard it was unusual! Thanks for sharing your home with us and for giving us a memorable trip!

Family vacation

We loved the home and property. It is a bit remote, perfect for me and my husband, but a little secluded for our young adult children. The house is fully stocked with anything you might need and very comfortable. The view off the back patio was serene and we enjoyed our mornings and evenings outside, despite the weather only offering is one sunset. We would definitely stay again.

Destination Relaxation

Driving up to the property the first view you have is the ocean with a small corner of the house in sight. What an exciting moment. Then you arrive and see this beautiful home that fits its description perfectly, a welcoming place to relax and renew, very clean, neat and organized. It was the get away we needed-to sit and relax on the inviting deck and patio, watching sunrises and the lobster boats in the morning . Listening to the ocean tides made for peaceful moments. The firepit offered us a relaxing evening with s'mores. Taking walks down the private road, smelling the balsam trees, and finding deer, turkey, and eagles was enjoyable. Just a short ride into Corea and you are at the Lobster Co-op, where you purchase lobsters for a delicious feast. Sara, your host, is very accommodating, and answeres your questions promptly. We enjoyed our time immensely, and plan to return some day.

Amazing View, Perfect Retreat

This lovely property made a gracious host to my family group of eight; every room and all furniture was comfortable and the amenities comprehensive. The huge patio with its inviting Adirondack chairs is what drew us to the listing, and it was amazing! But everything else was wonderful too; as soon as we walked into the house we felt right at home. Plenty of linens, plenty of space and seating options for all, the kitchen well-equipped, the GPS found the house without issue, the road in not difficult to traverse, and entry instructions and stay requirements / requests quite reasonable. The upstairs is a pleasant space all its own, with full bath and a walkout over the patio for its own view; perfect for say, a whole bunch of kids or teens in a blended group. We had two up there who enjoyed it immensely. The downstairs bedrooms and side ramp into the house makes it largely "accessible" for most would-be guests. We started and ended our days taking the access trail cut down the slope to the water to watch the sunrise or sunset and waves break over the rocky shore, enjoyed cozy evenings in the living room, breakfast and dinners eaten in, and everyone made friendly arguments that no, their bedroom was the best. The house is well-situated to take day excursions in every direction--not too far at all to get to Acadia or West Quoddy Head (for example, and what we did!). It's also definitely a destination in itself if anyone is wanting a "lazy day" in. Do: read the guest book and the host's ongoing updates between guest entries, take your morning tea on the patio, scramble on the beach rocks, see the charming village of Corea, and get to Corea Heath bog just down the road. Recommended!
