Lobster Bill - Spruce Head Island, USA

This house has amazing charm and views of the water and the rooms are large and spacious. All the rooms are nicely furnished allowing for comfortable stay. There were some issues which we addressed with the owner and they were responsive to correcting as best they could. Would recommend for the location could not be beat.

Spectacular view. Great family plan. Nice sea breezes.

Well we had a very untraditional foggy week. But nobody can control the weather. The house was great. A little cobwebby in places and the bbq grill was rusted out. We also couldn’t close the master bedroom door. But it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. The steps that folks mentioned prior have been fixed. But for the price, we were perfectly happy. The owners were very responsive when we had a couple of questions. Note for non Maine peeps. They don’t recycle in Maine. At the end of our trip we found a glass recycling place at Hannafords in Town so that would have been good to know before.

The home and location are absolutely incredible. The house is surrounded on three sides by water with amazing views from almost every window. Located in one of the most spectacular parts of the mid coastal region the overall area is also a huge plus. The house itself is beautifully designed and well appointed. There are a few perplexing omissions in appointments, like one bedside table per bedroom and a total of three Adirondack chairs outside...but honestly...the benefits far outweigh any deficits. Also the upkeep of the property overall is not great...weeds in all of the walkways and the wooden steps to the water in pretty bad shape, but again, far outweighed by the positives. Wifi is not great...anyone planning a working vacation with zoom calls should consider bringing a router because the cell coverage is not great either, so using your phone as a hot spot is not an option. The house was SUPER comfortable for three adult couples. It would be a stretch for 8 people because the little cottage doesn't have a bathroom and there is only seating for 6 at the outdoor table. I would absolutely rent this place again for 6 people.

Previous comments submitted by others are accurate. weeds are high, stairs to the chairs on the rocks are rotted out. Hair balls around the floors. Large -med sized rocks in the driveway. No umbrella at the outdoor table as pictured. We need to by paper towels, garbage bags, napkins, toilet paper. Shower drain was clogged filling the upstairs shower basin up with water. (fix here was a bottle of Draino they dropped off) it worked for while. This could be a really nice place with some reasonable management suited to its value. We cleaned the kitchens and bathrooms when we arrived due to the lack luster prep prior to our arrival. great view though and peaceful
