It was a long drive to get to Stonington from Portland, but the moment we walked through the light-filled rooms of SeaBreeze 1 (the lower of two units) and out onto the deck, and took in the harbor below, the seagulls above, the dingies and lobster boats at their moorings, framed by old piers and pilings and a priceless view of the islands beyond, we all just heaved a big sigh of pure joy and said (variations of) "This is exactly what we were hoping for!!" Seabreeze is perfectly named--indoors or out, you always feel a breeze (assuming the windows are open), and you can see or at least sense the ocean at every turn. The decor is lovely, nautically themed but not excessively so, with a handful of cleverly decoupaged seashells here and there, lobster-trap weave in place of porch balusters, fresh flowers inside and growing in pots and in gardens outside, and the most comfortable Hans Wegner-style folding chair ever made. The unit was pristine, perfectly adequate for four adults, with 3 nicely appointed bedrooms, 2 spotless baths, a nice kitchenette, plenty of dishes, a TV we never watched and a dining table we never sat at, as we much preferred the view, the comfy chairs and the little wrought iron table on the deck. Plus the town is literally steps away, and even though Labor Day was past, we still had several great restaurants to choose from--Crybabies and Stonecutters Kitchen were fantastic--and lots of shops and galleries. A dream getaway, with a complimentary jar of jam!
