Amazing view

The house is amazing with great view of the ocean. It was quite spacious for our group of 7. The host was very friendly and helpful. They had lots of kayaks too. Unfortunately the weather was not great for us to a kayak but will surely be back again in the future.

Amazing Hidden Gem

We were surprised by the quiet home and beautiful view. The town of Stonington was welcoming and friendly. We couldn't have picked a more perfect and relaxing spot in coastal Maine to spend part of our vacation. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. Best vacation ever!

Great Maube experience

Loved watching the fishing boats and enjoyed the ever changing October weather. Stayed 5 nights and enjoyed windy days, rainy days, gale warnings and one crisp stunning sunshine and calm winds days. Took the kayaks out on the sunny, calm wind day in the harbor, carefully avoiding the working fishing boats. Excellent restaurant next to the house that does carry-out. It was shoulder/end of season, during COVID, so we found three restaurants and a sprinkling of stores open with more limited hours. The house had everything we needed plus extras. Host responded quickly and was very helpful and accommodating when we requested an extra night.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara

While originally from Maine, we currently live in Florida. We bought this home in 1998 to be able to spend more time near our family. When not there ourselves, we love sharing the home. It's a great location, a warm environment, and the kayaks are just such a treat. The nearby islands are fantastic to explore. We've worked very hard to make the home enjoyable for our guests, and it is fully supplied with everything you should need. We also try to have laundry, dish and dishwasher detergent, tin foil, baggies,etc....all those sort of things you don't want to have to buy for a short stay. We also put in comfortable and quality bedding. While not "fancy" - it's a great house sure to please!

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in Maine, but now living in Florida, I was homesick! So we bought a fixer upper and the whole family pitched in and helped us fully renovate this former 'lobsterman's family home. With very few homes actually waterfront on Stonington Harbor, this home was unique and really special.

What makes this property unique

This home is right on the harbor, and only a few minutes walk to downtown. And the dock is fantastic....we have 10 kayaks to use! This is the best location for kayaking out to the nearby islands. We have many return guests...so I guess they like it as much as we do!
