We were here for my sons wedding.

The house is spacious. We could’ve had the entire family stay here if it wasn’t for the rule of only six people. This house was very comfortable and convenient for our purpose. It is dog friendly which is a plus. The downstairs did have a musty dog smell. A few items needed attention

Family Vacation

We had a lovely time. The location was great with a short walk to both beaches. We found that we could park the extra car at the baseball field or beach overnight with no issues. House is lovely and well stocked with linens and towels all very clean. Plenty of room to separate. Cleaning crew didn’t do a good job cleaning. This is an easy fix. We ended up cleaning It when we arrived. House is new and bright. 1st floor a/c is perfect. We kept baby’s bedroom door and windows closed to sleep and it had no a/c. Could use window a/c units in bedrooms and a dehumidifier in basement. A bit musty. Otherwise the house is perfect. I would definitely rent this house again!

Great Family Spot!

We rented this house for a Family get together for 11 adults and dogs and it was amazing! Nice quiet and safe neighborhood. It slept and dinned 11 adults very comfortably. I was very impressed that the house was actually set up for 11 adults as well, including plenty of linens, blankets and towels. Kitchen was fully equipped, 2.5 baths and the layout was great for entertaining everyone. We rented this in the winter but I can see how even more amazing this house would be in the winter. We are already planning our next family get together at this house.

Beautiful But

Home not as functional as it should be. Master shower not suitable for tall & seniors. Slippery, no bars, plumbing,watch your head. Lots of beautiful ships, however, not practical for kids and pets. Great design, comfortable chairs, sofa and beds. Very nice appliances. Great neighborhood.

Beautiful home!

The home was beautiful. Very well stocked. Coffee maker and Keurig. Plenty of pots, pans, dishes, etc; as well as extra sheets, towels, pillows, blankets. Even has a wine fridge! We loved the deck. Quiet neighborhood, backyard very private. Great neighborhood to walk to dog. The Webber grill was awesome! The beds were comfortable. Mini splits in the master and living room kept us cool when it was muggy. Home is very spacious, plenty of room to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other. Open kitchen, dining, living room so we could all be together. Very clean with extra paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags. It was a 10 minute walk to short sands beach, quick 5 minute drive to the Nubble and 3 minutes to Long sands. My only complaint is the check in time, 4pm. By the time you get in the house, unpack, etc. the day is sort of gone and feels like a waste. But other than that we loved this rental and would definitely stay here again!

Very nice

The house is very nice, comfortable and as advertised. It is a very convenient location as you can walk everywhere. The neighborhood is great, quiet and people we met were friendly. Our only minor concern was that we couldn’t find any instructions regarding how to leave the house. So the night before our checkout I wrote and asked what we needed to do but got no response. We received 2 emails/texts about checkout the day of, but they provided no instructions — they just reminded us checkout was at 10 am. Then at 11:30, after I was home, I received an email telling me to be sure to wash the towels before I left! It’s not helpful to get checkout instructions 90 minutes after you are required to check out. I hope I am not charged for not washing the towels when I wasn’t informed I should do that until after I was required to leave.

The perfect vacation home

This was the cutest vacation home for 9 girls for a weekend getaway in York ME. The house was very clean and check-in was easy. Walking distance to the beach and to town. I would definitely stay here again!

Great house and location!

Easy check-in, perfect location walking distance to two beaches, nice walkable neighborhood. We had a great time with our family including two boys aged 9 and 12, and our small dog. Property manager was easy to communicate with. The house was clean, had a good supply of toilet paper, towels, detergent, etc, and beds were comfortable. We would stay again!

Perfect location

We had a great time at this perfectly located house. We were close to both Long and Short Sands beaches so it was great for walking to the beach. The house was beautiful and comfortable. We have no complaints with regard to our experience vacationing at Starfish Haven.

Siblings weekend

Great location! The house was clean & spacious and all of the basics were supplied. The TVs were tricky to get running with the various remotes and settings (the main TV had been left with only the DVD plugged in not the cable and then when we got the cable box running only the news stations showed up! We finally figured out someone had set their favorites as news & info so it took us an hour to figure out how to get all the stations to show!). We gave up on getting the basement TV to run. It is more difficult to communicate if there is a question when you have to go through a management company rather than having a direct contact. All in all, it was a good stay in spite of some iffy October weather!

Perfect location, cozy house

We stayed for a few days in Mid-October and it was the perfect getaway due to the location of the house. The Nubble Lighthouse is just down the road a ways, and the beaches were very close, too. My son (almost 4 years old) had fun picking his room out and exploring all over the house, especially the basement TV area. I can also second the previous review that the upstairs master bathroom toilet runs for about a half hour after you flush. I would say the only disappointing thing was finding the dishwasher full (albeit, with clean dishes) when we arrived, which made me wonder if that was overlooked, what else was? Regardless, my family and I enjoyed ourselves at this house and the area.
