House was great, Location serene
The location and house itself are great. We traveled with our Brady Bunch family, so needed a lot of beds and space, and this house accommodated with ease. Also had a fully stocked kitchen and starter products, which is always helpful. The location on the water is beautiful, but we were disappointed we could not swim off the dock. Signs are posted saying no jumping into the water (understandable given the tides), but the ladder was not in a condition for use (covered in thick algae and generally gross). The main complaint is directed at the management company regarding the cleanliness of the house at check-in. The house was gross. Towels were dirty. Sheets were covered in hair. The downstairs shower was filthy (you could see an actual dirty footprint on the shower floor). The floors were unclean. While the house itself is a great landing spot for a nice vacation on the Maine coast, arriving to a house we had to fully clean prior to use was annoying to say the least.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Lindsey. We regret to hear that we were unable to provide you with a pleasant stay. We are disappointed to hear that we dropped the ball this time, as this is not the high standard of guest satisfaction and cleanliness that we hold ourselves to. We have provided your valuable feedback to our local manager to address with our housekeeping team.

Family Reunion in W. Bath, ME
This property was better than advertised. It was clean, fully stocked, and comfortable even for a group as large as ours (9 adults and 5 children). The proximity to the water was phenomenal, and the privacy and solitude we had at the house couldnt be beat. It was the perfect place to host our family reunion. We loved it!!!!!

Nice House
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property! There were 10 adults and 4 children (all ages 3 years and younger) and we had plenty of room. The floor plan allowed for a private setting for each of our family members. The view was also beautiful! As another reviewer mentioned, the house is due for some upgrades and probably wouldn’t be considered “luxury” as included in the listing title (needs new mattresses, more plush towels, etc) and there were a few broken things in the house (the cabinet under kitchen sink was held closed with duck tape, the shade to a lamp was broken, a closet door was broken, etc). The house was due for a more thorough cleaning which we noticed as toys made its way under couches and beds. We also would have very much enjoyed using the beautiful fireplace (which is only for decorative purposes). Overall we did really enjoy our stay and would plan to stay here again considering the price for the number of people in our group.

We stayed at this lovely home with 6 adults and 5 kids under 6. It was AMAZING. Exactly as described, plus extras like kids books and games! We hope to come back every year!

Nice location
We had an issue on the 1st day so I called Vacasa who is in charge of the house and I never got a reply from a property representative for 3 days. House wasn't clean and the float wasn't in the water to use as advertised.

West Bath, ME Retreat
The property had a beautiful and peaceful ocean view with lots of bedrooms and entertainment space for family and friends. My husband and I stayed there for 4 nights and 7 family members who lived in Maine gathered to be with us on one of the days of our stay. We had plenty of space indoors to enjoy a meal and conversation since the weather was too cold and windy to enjoy the outside deck. We gathered in the living room which had plenty of seating for everyone and looked out on the gorgeous ocean view. The house was well stocked with utensils and plates, but you had to hand wash utensils because there was no dishwasher basket to hold utensils and there was no drying rack on the kitchen counter for dishes. They also did not provide more than two kitchen garbage bags, so you have to buy or bring your own. The house was very clean, there were plenty of towels, and extra blankets, and the beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing property and location!
We had a lovely time at this property. The photos displayed it accurately. We had to pry ourselves away from the view to enjoy other activities. Could have been quite content to spend the week on the deck.

Very nice house. “Master bedroom “ could use king bed , normal height as the queen bed in there is too tall and squeaky and bouncy.

July Family Vacation 2021
What a location! Beautiful spot and perfect for boating. Our extended family of 15 enjoyed the spacious house and the water access for boating and kayaking. The kitchen worked well for the large group. Only minor issue was the gas grill was not functioning properly and caused us to adjust our dinner plans at the last minute. Overall a very successful and fun week for all the family with plenty of room for all and many card games on the deck.
