Summary: Staying at this home was a truly unique experience. You get to be front and center to a working harbor far off the coast of Maine. The caretaker was very helpful in putting together travel arrangements on and off island- boat or plane were options. The home is very well equipped and planning is required to bring all that will be needed during your stay. There are three bedrooms and one bath upstairs- it would be hard to choose a room to use because they all had amazing views. The bedding was lux and more than ample for open windows with night sea breezes. The night sky was dazzling, the lobstermen start their day before the break of dawn, everyone met was lovely and kind. There really were no drawbacks to this location- a special thank you to Andrew for making the experience possible as there are not many rentals on the island. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful relaxing getaway- you have found the right place. There are two marked hiking trails on the island, two sand beaches and so many rocky coastlines to explore, you will not run short of activities. The outdoor shower is not to be missed. There is a television in the adjacent cottage, not the main house, but we found it was not needed at all during the stay. There is a large lobster steamer pot that was put to good use- lobster delivered fresh to the door on request. There was a mid-week market, a bakery with a daily selection too. Definitely worth a visit.
