Avis Maine Midcoast Vacation at Lincolnville Beach

L’appartement est spacieux, situé en bord de mer sur une route où passé beaucoup de camions toute la nuit. Il faut fermer les fenêtres pour l’odeur; ok s’il ne fait pas trop chaud. Il n’y a qu’une chambre avec un lit non confortable.La seconde petite chambre est équipée d’un petit divan lit. L’appartement est tout de même bien équipé; il ne manquerait qu’un grille-pain. Cependant, ce n’était pas particulièrement propre et la rouille dans la toilette et l’évier de cuisine nous a surpris (nous avons nettoyé un peu) L’état des fenêtres / moustiquaires à installer ou ôter pour ouvrir/ fermer les fenêtres est déplorable. Par ailleurs, j’étais mal à l’aise dans un appartement dépourvu d’un détecteur de fumée. L’appartement est grand et nous avons quand même eu un séjour correct; nous sommes tout de même partis une journée plus tôt

Ort und Umgebungen toll. Unterkunft gar nicht sauber, alt und laut. Eine viel befahrene Straße direkt vor dem Haus.

This was our fourth vacation trip to the mid-coast Maine area. We thought we would take a chance at staying on a beach front property. I failed to realize that the location was directly on a major highway with very heavy car and truck traffic. Because the apartment has no air conditioning, it was necessary to keep windows open to allow for air circulation. It was impossible to shut out the heavy traffic noise which made sleeping very difficult until the wee hours of the morning. The heavy truck traffic resumed long before dawn again making it very difficult to sleep. The apartment has been very poorly maintained. Windows, screens and blinds were beyond filthy and in very poor condition, i.e. holes in screens, etc. They have probably not been cleaned in years. The bed in the master bedroom has a very poor quality mattress, which had a piece of foam rubber on the top. If you have ever slept on foam rubber, you know it is very hot. The second bedroom had bunk beds with mattresses only fit for light weight children. I had to replace light bulbs in other areas of the apartment by scavenging them from the room we were not using. The layout of the kitchen and pantry is not conducive to preparing a meal. The sink is in the pantry and the stove and refrigerator are in the kitchen. The noise problem could probably be fixed by the addition of one or two window air conditioners, allowing the windows to be closed, thereby blocking most of the heavy truck traffic noise. Some normal maintenance and a good cleaning of windows, screens, and blinds would go a long way to make this property better. Also, there is no barbecue grill and I could not find a toaster. This was not an inexpensive property. The one saving grace is the location is six miles from Camden with many good restaurants and a good grocery store.

Accurate listing, great location and great communication with property manager. This location is perfectly situated for taking day trips north and south. My family and I enjoyed the property, the view and our experience! A+

The keys were difficult to operate. We had to clean the bathroom before we used it. Operating the toilet was an issue until we worked with its insides. The kitchen was in two very unusable parts. Stove, refrigerator, and table in one room with no horizontal surfaces even close to the stove. Sink and prep area in a separate room. Piece of wood under sink rim tore my clothing. Stove was new. Washer and dryer new and worked well. Bed in master was old, cheap, and lumpy. They put a piece of foam on it. Outside living room window and master bedroom window was a very bright street light which was on all night. Blinds in living room and bedroom did nothing to keep the light out so both rooms were very hard to sleep in. Had to use the window facing the light to get any cool air into master bedroom to sleep. I ended up sleeping on the couch as the hide away bed and other beds were horrid. The other beds were children’s bunk beds. Adequate for children. Cooling was not well addressed. 3 cheap box fans. Definitely not adequate. One working ceiling fan in eating/ stove area of kitchen and one non working ceiling fan in master bedroom. Owner said it smelled funny when it was working so instead of repairing or replacing he just had a plate put over he switch. This was a horrid experience and you should not represent this property. Owner could not have cared less about our comfort. I went into hospital 8/2 with a fib and put my family into a hotel at a rate of 300.00 per day. It was too hot in the rental property for my family to remain there. What a nightmare! I am very angry about the whole experience. Maine and the people are lovely but these accommodations were the worst I have ever experienced and the price was horrific. It should have been $50.00 per day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owner was very responsive, accommodating and welcoming. When we arrived, there was a bag of freshly ground coffee, a chocolate bar, and other refreshments. The view from the living room is amazing and the beach is very quaint. There is lots to see and do in the area -- cute little shops are just steps away from the apartment, and Camden and Belfast are only a short drive away.

We loved taking our kids right across the street to play on the beach, eat fresh seafood meals in the evenings at one of the little lobster shacks (also across the street!), and grabbing coffee in the mornings from the local roaster up the street. George was a true pleasure to deal with, and everything was clean and comfortable. Can't believe we lucked out in finding this spot!!

Had a terrific stay in Lincolnville. Nice little town and the accommodations provided by George were ideal for me and my family. The little beach across the street was fun for my grandson both during high and low tide. The apartment met all of our needs and was very clean, cozy and comfortable. George was very responsive to questions before, during and after the stay. The entire process was very simple and affordable. Great stay!!

This is a great place to stay. The beach is located just across the street and you have beautiful views of the sunrise and the lobster boats. The restaurants are within walking distance and very convenient. We ate at Dots' in the mornings and the Lobster Pound one evening. Both were very good. We spent a lot of our time in Acadia National Park. The drive to that area was beautiful. Dotted with small New England towns and beautiful old homes. The owner of the apartment was very helpful and attentive to all our needs. Coming from Georgia and some pretty warm temperatures, I was concerned about the lack of air conditioning but the evening temperatures were cool and daytime temperatures were low eighty degrees and always a breeze . We even got a message from Mr. Pinkham to turn on the heat one evening when the temperature dropped into the fifties. I traveled there with my 21 year old grandson and 19 year old granddaughter and my 45 year old son. There was plenty to see and do for all of us young and old. Thank you to the owner, George Pinkham for allowing us to stay in your vacation rental.
