The house is fully equipped so you can enjoy your Maine vacation. Amenities include free WiFi, washer and dryer, outdoor gas grill, beach chairs, beach towels. You'll have total access to the entire house. There is off-street parking space for 2 small to medium sized vehicles. The neighboorhood is quiet, yet within a minute's walk to everything in Dock Square...restaurants, bars, shops, coffee, museums, sailing excursions, whale watching, bike and moped rentals, kayak and paddle board rentals. If you are thinking of a 7-day stay we encourage you to consider a Friday to Friday stay instead of the typical Saturday to Saturday. Most vacation rentals, resorts and hotels will turnover on Saturdays especially during the summer months. This creates huge amounts of traffic to and from Maine. Coming and going on Friday will mean less stress and less time wasted sitting in traffic.
