Summary: Incredible experience! The hist could not have been a better communicator! The home is thoughtfully prepared for your stay. We enjoyed the Penobscot Bay Coffee, dog bags etc. Kitchen is well equipped. The home is spotless and the views are incredible! Our dog Ozzy, lived his best life. The deck and the landing both were enjoyable daily. Quiet and well located. We could not have been more grateful for our family of 4 and our dog to enjoy this home. We fished, we enjoyed lobsters and steamers on the deck, we played cornhole and lots of pool at night. We enjoyed reading a book from author/owner. A true getaway and we are so thankful.
