INTRODUCTION

Walk to restaurants, bakeries, gourmet food shops! This fabulous new home has been featured in websites/magazines. Roof top deck with ocean views with new therapeutic massage hot tub.

This beautifully renovated house was stripped down to the studs for a full-scale renovation. Beautifully designed and completely renovated by a highly nationally-recognized designer, the house retains the original 1906 Dutch Colonial charm, but was creatively reimagined for today's open-concept and luxurious living.

Gorgeous details abound in this 4 bedroom 2.5 Bath house, with everything being brand new and completed in the Summer of 2017. The house is perfect for multi-generational families, several couples traveling together, or quiet and respectful friend groups.

This home is located 150 yards from beautiful Willard Beach, a 3-block walk to Willard Square, home of the famous Scratch Baking Company, ranked as a "Top 10 bread bakery in the US" and featured in Bon Appetit and the New York Times and on the Food Network. Scratch Baking is famous for it's hand-made bagels but also features a multitude of artisanal breads, incredible breakfast pastries, absolutely delicious gourmet desserts by the piece, a fantastic gourmet coffee bar, slab pizza (by the slice), gourmet sandwiches and salads made to order, and wines, other drinks and much, much more.

LOCATION

NOTES

The entire home and incredible rooftop deck with hot tub and fabulous ocean views is available for my guests' enjoyment. This is a private single-family home with other homes in very close proximity on four sides and guests are welcome to use any and all areas of the home and yard, but you must be respectful of the neighbors. While we want you to enjoy the home and the beautiful outdoor space, we do not want you to enjoy yourselves to the detriment of the neighbors, which included young children and elderly residents that go to bed early and others that wake up early to go to work. Maintaining the peacefulness of our neighborhood is of utmost importance and we have strict 9 pm to 9 am quiet hours. Please feel free to ask any questions about this.

Please note that gatherings and events are strictly prohibited at this home and the home is to be enjoyed by the guests who stay here. We do not allow parties or any type of large gathering at this home that involve more than 11 people, whether they are daytime or evening guests or you are hosting local friends for a meal.

Pets will be considered at this home on an individual basis and only with prior approval and a pet fee. If you would like to bring your pets, please only submit an inquiry so we can discuss. Booking requests do not work when pets are included, so please send a regular inquiry first. Unapproved pets may be asked to be boarded, as all pets must be approved in advance, due to cleaning and allergy requirements.

Please read the house rules section before requesting a reservation and ask any questions that you may have, as the house rules are very important.

Maintaining the peace at this uniquely quiet and extremely peaceful location is of utmost importance, whether inside (with open windows) or outside. It is important to understand that the houses surrounding ours are extremely close together and noise and loud conversation from inside the house will be heard by the neighbors if the windows are open, so quiet hours, whether you are inside (with open windows) or outside, are from 9 pm to 10 am and no gatherings are allowed on the deck, yard, driveway or patio past 9 pm. The outdoor areas all close at 9 pm. Please do not request exceptions.

Please note that the maximum occupancy at this property is 12 guests, whether daytime, nighttime or overnight. A guest count exceeding 12 people is not allowed on this property at any time. Should you choose to compromise our trust and invite additional people onto the property, even when they are not spending the night, a fine of $150 per person, per night of your reservation will be assessed. We are sorry but due to the quiet nature of this neighborhood and the close proximity of the houses surrounding ours, no exceptions can be made to the maximum guest count at this property.

Please note that this home is in a typical Maine beach community where homes are close to each other and residents are very friendly. We ask that our guests respect the fact that the surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents who are not on vacation and work in the morning.

If you are making a new reservation, please inquire about the number of beds in the house, as some of the beds will soon be removed. Let's discuss your needs and number of guests to make sure the house can still work for you.

Because we live nearby, this is not a vacation home that we use for ourselves. We are always available to help with our guests needs, as we live 2 minutes away.

Pets will be considered at this home on an individual basis and only with prior approval and a pet fee.
