10/10
I searched for 3 months for a property on a beach with enough space for my siblings and their kids to celebrate our youthful mother's 80th birthday for several days surrounding Memorial weekend. I hit the jackpot when I found this property.
Our mother frequently took us to Jones Beach in Long Island when we were young, infecting us with a love for the therapeutic ocean. In spite of a very wet Memorial weekend, the property worked magic on our family. It was enhanced by learning some of its 200 year old history from the owners and caretaker.
I never rented a house before this. Beth and her mother, Gail, could not have been nicer nor kinder. It felt more like we were staying at a friend's house than renting from a stranger. Each of the 8 BRs were very comfortable. They were made up with lovely bedding and linens. 5 of them faced the ocean, while the other three faced the wildlife refuge. We gathered in both of the great sitting rooms, the dining room and the two back to back kitchens. I have never seen such an array of entertainment options - perfect for the wet weather (Hulu, Tubie, Roku- things I was not familiar with).
This property was magnificent. It was perfect for a wide range of ages (11, 16, 3x18, 41, 42, 59, 60, 61, 80) to spend time together, yet have space to retreat to. We could listen to the ocean from our rooms at night, see the star filled sky which was clear a couple of nights, walk on the lovely beach, head over to Kennebunk for provisions easily...and run out to Walker Point and the closer beaches. The memorable times my family "made there" exceeded by far all expectations I had for this trip. A thousand thanks to Gail and Beth for such hospitality.
