Nicole and her family did a marvelous job of outfitting this charming second-story apartment in a vintage harbor front building, to provide visitors with a quintessential Stonington experience. Once longtime owners of our own Deer Isle house, we know the island well and had high expectations. In fact, this was the best equipped VRBO weâve ever stayed in, and certainly the most charming. We enjoyed unobstructed views of Stoningtonâs fascinating working harbor from inside the airy unit and the private deck. It was a special treat to wine and dine ourselves on the deck while watching Stoningtonâs July 4 fireworks. Location was great, a short walking distance to every restaurant in Stonington. We would love to return!
The property and area exceeded our expectations. Seabreeze on the harbor 2 was SPOTLESS, well stocked with everything needed, and the views were amazing. We enjoyed our little deck as well as the Adirondackâs in the yard. It was so relaxing looking out at the working harbor watching the lobster boats and tall ships come and go.Hosts Nicole and her husband Rick were extremely accessible and answered any questions we could have, but we didnât have many since their thoughtful attention to details answered our questions before we asked. Dinner at Fin and Fern just a few doors down the road was excellent. Just a short walk away Lunches and dinner at 27 Fathoms was wonderful while sitting on the deck overlooking the harbor. Live lobsters from the lobster co-op literally a 2 min. Ride away and seafood from Coldwater Seafood made for some delicious eat in dinners. Thank you Nicole and Rick for sharing your little slice of heaven! We will be back!
We three sisters and our elderly mom simply loved staying here and would come back in a heartbeat. All expectations surpassed, of the property, the surroundings and the hosts. We didn't mind a bit that the weather was gray and rainy because we simply enjoyed the lovely view over the harbor, the tide rolling in and out, lounging comfortably in the living room and taking delight in all the house had to offer from furnishings to appliances to the wonderful collection of books, games and seashells. We took both floors and had ample room to spread out between a total of five bedrooms and three baths. But either floor is great for a smaller party. Hosts are just lovely. Even better than it looks in the photos!
My stay with my brother over Thanksgiving was incredible. Everything as listed, clean, and all the cooking supplies you could need. Views are unbeatable.
We have nothing but great things to say about our stay here. From the beautiful views and location in a cute small town, we enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and walking to some of the local shops and restaurants. This property had everything we would need from cooking to games and books to keep us entertained the entire weekend. The hostess of this property was very good at letting us know what things we could do in an off season time and was great to work with. We will definitely be back some day.
Nicole's apartment is in a very special location with calm and beautiful water view! High ceiling and plenty of natural lighting. Cozy decor through out and the place is very clean. The apartment is walking distance to town center with shops and restaurants such as Fin and Fern. Nicole was very personal, sweet, and welcoming. Thank you for making our stay memorable!
This property is jewel. Stunning views, to distant vistas and the working harbor. The property was immaculate with a world class collection of books and some nice antiques. A real pleasure to stay there!
My wife and I have vacationed in Stonington, ME for almost 20 years. This vacation just might be our best ever! We loved this property. We were familiar with this house, having viewed it over the years. We are so impressed with how it has been remodeled. The view is wonderfulâŠ.you have a near total view of Stonington harbor. In addition to watching the activity of the lobster boats, you will get views of the big windjammer schooners out of Camden that frequently come into port. There is no better location in Stonington. Restaurants, shops, the public landing for launching kayaks and small boats are all short walks away. Every morning and evening we did our favorite sunrise and sunset walks around town. The apartment is so nice and clean and furnished beautifully. There is an endless supply of wonderful books to peruse and enjoy. This is a perfect place to experience an authentic Maine fishing village. We highly recommend!
We enjoyed our week at this property. I was there for a painting workshop and we were within walking distance of many of the painting locations. Easy walk to restaurants and a grocery store too
We absolutely loved the views of the busy harbor. Both sunrise and sunset are magical to watch from here. My classmates in the art class agreed that our place was spectacular.
Host was responsive, property was easy to check in to. Wonderfully stocked kitchen supplies and many local recommendations too.
We will be back!
Absolutely everything you need is there. Very well stocked. best location and view walk to everything. No detail was overlooked, plenty of local information at house and felt like home.
We highly recommend this lovely apartment on the harbor. The place is lovely, relaxing and so well cared for. The hosts are communicative and welcoming. Stinington is a cute and non-touristy town you can enjoy and use as a great jumping off place for so many sights on the ME coast.
Truly a beautiful property. The pictures do not do it justice. The view and location are the best in Stonington. Equipped with everything you could need. Charming decor. Interesting art and books. Exceeded expectations. Canât wait to visit again. Also dealing with the owners was a pleasure.
The town was absolutely charming! We had an amazing time on the water boating and kayaking. Lobster was delicious! It was an easy drive to Acadia national park. We had the best time!!
