This was our second stay - we also rented in July-2022.
We had a wonderful experience again and would highly recommend the property to anyone looking to enjoy authentic coastal Maine vacation. The hosts are very welcoming, and we would love to return for a third time in the future.
We recently rented from Anne for one month and the experience exceeded our expectations. Anne was a gracious host, and we were made to feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The home had all the amenities (and more) one would expect for an extended stay and was beautifully decorated throughout. The location and the view made our stay memorable - with great vistas of Casco Bay from the living room and primary bedroom. Willard Beach and several local bakeries/cafes were within a short walking distance. As someone who grew up in Maine, but currently lives away, I could not think of a more ideal "homecoming" and highly recommend the property to future guests.
