Antique Oceanfront Charm!
Publié le 18 août 2024 sur HomeAwayPlenty of room for all of us to have some alone time, although we spent most of the time relaxing on the deck taking in the beautiful panoramic views. This is a sunny spot, and the weather was perfect all week! It could use another umbrella for shade because the deck is full sun most of the day, but we sat at a picnic table on the shady side of the house to get some reprieval. Charlie delivered lobsters every other day, and at $5/lb we certainly over indulged! The house is older, and has a ton of charm, but it is in need of some much needed updates. The neighbors are very friendly, and our daily walks to the beach and across the land bridge were phenomenal! Someone shot off a great fireworks display across the way from us on our final night to cap off a wonderful week! A couple things to note for anyone considering a stay here… There is a rooster that woke us up daily around 7 am that is right next door… and he is pretty brave, coming right up to the house and onto the deck to “cockadoodledoo!”. If you are not an early riser on vacation, this can be frustrating. The house can get warm during the day without air conditioning too. Other than that, this place was great, and we enjoyed our stay at this charming, secluded old beach house. The blueberry pies at Helen’s Restaurant are not to be missed!!

Hill Family Vacation
Publié le 21 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe all traveled from Ohio (1 from Colorado) for our family vacation. Staying at this home I felt that we had stepped back in time, as it is a historical home. The scenery was amazing from both inside the home and outside the home. We had several grandchildren with us and there was plenty of room for them to play and explore. When we asked family members what they liked about our trip to Maine, the beach was at the top of the list. This home has a private beach area that we spent hours at! It is a distance from many of the local attractions but we are a family that truly enjoyed the privacy that this home provided. We enjoyed our day trips to some of the local attractions including Bar Harbor, Acadia park, and the lighthouse at Lubec. We were all very sad to see our week come to an end. If you are looking for peace and tranquility at your next vacation this is the spot for you.

Thank you Robin for staying at our oceanfront home. This is such a special place- with so many distractions today it is like going back in time to enjoy nature and the beauty which surrounds this amazing home. The ocean vistas from the gravel beach or from the decks or from the many windows allow time to relax, unwind from busy lives. Children explore and play together..
Hope you can visit again.

I am glad your family enjoyed your stay and revisited family of the area. We have even had guest hold weddings at our home. The oceanfront and views make things special. Thank you for visiting.

What a great spot
Publié le 9 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayIf you're looking for a large house on a quiet, relaxing part of the Maine coast, you'd be hard pressed to do better. The views were just fantastic. The house was large and comfortable with a good kitchen, comfortable chairs and couches (and plenty of them). Plenty of bedrooms (be aware that one bedroom is a "pass through" bedroom) with good beds (I slept like a rock). The house was spotless (no mean feat in such a large house) and communication with the owner was easy. All in all, I'm very pleased with the entire experience. Excellent vacation and this house played no small part in that.

It was a pleasure having you visit the Captains House- we want our guests to enjoy this beautiful Oceanfront location.
You feel like the 1950’s - traffic light yet many beautiful sea side towns are nearby to visit-
This is a special part of Maine and we love to share the experience.
Thank you

Three generation family vacation
Publié le 23 août 2023 sur HomeAwayWe had a wonderful week staying at the house. The house, yard and beach was perfect for our family. The neighbors and the area are so welcoming and we enjoyed the area. There are so many things to do in the area or you can just relax. We would come back again.

Thanks Nancy for staying with us- we would love for your return- I know how peaceful and beautiful it is to sit on the deck and take in the beautiful vista of ocean and islands- The Beach is interesting with rocks of every shap and size- I have found many I believe were tools used by earlier inhabitants..
Thanks. For coming. Paula

Zen Perfection
Publié le 9 août 2023 sur HomeAwayThe house is better than described. Nothing is llacking, sparkling clean. This house has very typical late 19th century character and rambles, creating great spaces for quiet times. A great family place.
This is our second 2 week stay for a reason - the site and house are ideal for our needs. The air, light and views are inspirational for my wife's painting. Her easel never left the propertty. I write and the words just flowed, Grandchildren retired to various nooks in the house when it rained or played on the beach or weekly mown grass. Daughter and son in law decompressed.
We all left anticipating next year.

We had a great time.
Publié le 31 juill. 2023 sur HomeAwayFour families totaling 13 people stayed here. We had a great time despite bad weather. The host was flexible with us having packages of food and kayak rentals delivered shortly before our arrival, which was appreciated. She responded to most inquiries within 24 hours even though she was having a family medical situation. Maids were finishing up as we arrived and the home was clean.
The location is nice and remote but you can get to a lot of hikes, lobster boat tours, and bar harbor in about 1 hour as a day trip.
The pictures were a pretty accurate representation. We brought a large hammock and badminton net with us and the property grounds were perfectly sized to accommodate all of it and let us spread out. Beach was a 1 minute walk and gorgeous views.
There were a few minor things that have since been corrected in the listing (e.g. no fire pit) or were our own fault for not noticing (e.g. only one bathroom has a shower, the other is only a bathtub). But one thing that is worth mentioning:
One of the large upstairs bedrooms with 3 beds can only be accessed by passing through a bedroom on either side of it. This caused logistical problems with our room planning (especially for families with toddlers) and made our own room with an attached stairwell a thoroughfare for older children moving from floor to floor. We would have liked to know this before we booked.
But it all worked out and we made great memories for a reasonable price. Thanks to Paula for a great week.

Thank you for staying with us. Did you use our outdoor enclosed shower? It is great in the summer.
I decided after reading about the pass thru bedroom , next year this room will be a sitting / tv room with a sleep sofa. That way there is a comfortable area if one wishes to stay up later and if a bed is needed it can be decided by the guest.
An added 3/4 bath hopefully will be added on the 2nd floor also.
Thanks for coming , Paula Aschettino

Wonderful spot!
Publié le 24 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayWe absolutely loved our stay here. If you want to avoid crowds and have a beautiful view in a quaint house then this is the place for you! The kitchen had neat old fashioned metal cabinets and was the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen. Staying in the house is like going back in time but, at the same time, the floor to ceiling windows give it a light, bright feeling.We drove over 20 hrs and it was worth it! We plan to come again in the future. Paula is a delightful host!

Beautiful, relaxing family vacation
Publié le 31 août 2022 sur HomeAwayMy family which included 6 children (10 months - 10 yrs) four parents and two grandparents came to this beautiful home for our first family vacation since COVID. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from enjoying morning coffees on the balcony listening to the waves to suppers enjoying the sunsets. The kids liked watching the fog roll in and out. The kids loved meeting the neighbors who have a farm. They had great fun adopting the goats and petting the turkeys. We loved the rocky and sandy beaches.
The house had more than enough room and lots of room outside for running around and playing. The kitchen had everything we needed and more.
We put some extra curtains up over the blinds in hopes that the kids would sleep in a little later, which did help.
Thank you Paula for a wonderful family holiday

A great spot with awesome ocean views! A lovely beach. The deck is amazing and offers relaxing spot
