What a terrific escape! My family and I enjoyed this fabulous property for a 5 day / 4 night break from the 'real world.' Even as a native New Englander, I never fully appreciated the rugged beauty of Maine until we were able to live it like locals this summer.
Andy was a very gracious host and the property more than lives up to the spectacular photos on the website. A humpback whale made multiple appearances just 100 yards off the end of the dock and we saw porpoises up close while paddling in the kayaks. We fished (without luck) but had fun crabbing, swimming, walking and jogging. The road is so pretty and the patio is the perfect place to hang out with a fire, a book, and the ballgame on the radio. The house is both comfortable and filled with vernacular charm. What a treat!
The tourist attractions are predictably fun, especially Booth Bay Harbor. If you go in to town to run errands, Shaws (670 Bath Rd); Garden Island Laundry (681 Bath Rd); and Ames True Value Hardware (447 Bath Rd) are go to stops.
Treat yourself to breakfast at Market Place Cafe (681 Bath Rd) while your clothes are in the spin cycle. This is where the locals go and the coffee alone is worth the trip.
Every trip should be this good! Thanks Andy!!
