Lovely time seaside

This oceanfront home was the perfect landing spot for our family. The kids used the kayaks and explored the coast. We lounged on the large deck, caught a couple amazing sunsets, and played lots of card games. Location was central to all the things we wanted to do. Quiet neighborhood. We had a lovely time.

Lovely summer vacation

Lovely, quiet property on Coast of Castine. Plenty of room for two adults and two teens. Comfortable beds! Host was very communicative. Would definitely rent this property again if opportunity came up.

Lovely view and sunset

Peregrine House is situated on a quiet road in a peaceful location with a lovely view of the bay and gorgeous sunsets. There is easy access to the town of Castine and the house is a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed swimming. The house was well-equipped. The beds and living area were comfortable. Mary Lou was responsive to our questions and needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful and beautiful location

Relaxing, wonderful stay. If you're looking for peace and quiet and a chance to get away from it all, this is the place. It is 45 minutes to the nearest lobster pound, Belfast or Camden and about an hour away from Acadia, but still easy enough to do day trips. The house was very clean and owner was responsive and helpful. Check-in was easy and we quickly made ourselves at home. It is a nice balance between a modern Maine home and quaint cottage to give just the perfect Maine-getaway feel. The sunsets are also beautiful to watch from the wraparound deck.

Great time at Peregrine house in Castine!

Our family of eight adults and two kids had a wonderful time in Castine! The house had a lot of amenities and was close to the town with boat launch and to a beach in walking distance. We visited Bar Harbor and Acadia national park but make note it is about an hour and a half drive. We checked out the Fort Knox in Bucksport and went to the top of the bridge tower. Mary Lou was very easy to get in touch with. Castine is a very historic town with a wonderful museum. We also got lobsters to cook at the house from Eaton’s boat yard at a great price. If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing, reading, swimming, having a lobster bake of your own and watching amazing sunsets, this is the place to go. if you want to be busy with shopping and lots of site seeing activity, you might want to stay closer to a bigger city.

Amazing waterfront home

7 of us, ranging in age from 7 to 72, spread out on all three floors, but watching the sunset from the screened porch or deck was truly spectacular and loved by all. The girls adored climbing on the rocks and kicking the soccer ball. We all enjoyed strolls to the public beach, feeling the wind rustling through the trees, flowers nestled throughout the property, and picking ripe red raspberries. Just a note to future renters: We loved having 3 bathrooms! The owner, Mary, was always reachable when we had questions. We could tell this home had been treasured by her family for a long time. There were definitely tears when we took a farewell look at the waves and sky. Memories were made in this oasis by the sea.

Review

The property location was lovely and peaceful. The main level of the home, loft, enclosed porch were very nice. I traveled with my husband, my sister, brother in law and their adult daughter. They stayed in the “lower level” bedrooms and really felt like they were in a basement despite the door leading outside. They ended up buying a blow up mattress and slept on the main level because of spiders and the overall atmosphere on that level. For what we paid for the week, we expected better. This is really a place for a couple and small child. With some updating, it could be a beautiful spot for a larger group such as ours. I was hesitant to write this but wished we had been made away of the lower level arrangements. We did let Mary Lou know as well.

Great house on the water down the street from the beach

We had a great time at the property with its large deck overlooking the water and stairs down to the cove. We used the kayaks in the cove and saw porpoises off blockhouse point. Swimming at Wadsworth Cove Beach was very nice. Check in was easy. Good communication with Mary Lou. You can walk to Witherle Woods where there are nice trails. House was well provisioned. Downstairs twin beds were a little soft but great for kids.

Views, views and more beautiful views!

We just got back from a perfect vacation at the Peregrine house! The house was very comfortable with views from every window. Sitting out on the deck, watching a neighboring bald eagle fly by during a spectacular sunset or spying on sea lions with your morning coffee was all the reason you need to stay at this lovely home. Mary was a great host by making sure that everything was to our liking. Our only complaint and it was a minor one, was the need for the lawn to be mowed. It was nearly 8 inches long during our week here and could be blamed on a shortage of landscaping crew, thanks to Covid or the heavy rains they experienced the previous week. Small issue however, since we'd be eager to spend another week in the future.

Beautiful spot

Enjoyed our stay at the Peregrine House. The sunsets over the bay from the house were different each night but always beautiful (rain or shine). The area is pretty remote with restaurants operating sporadically (covid hangover?) but Mary was very helpful in terms of recommending grocery stores. Highly recommend the bioluminescence kayak tour from castine kayaking, taking the boat to isle au haute (from Stonington), and hiking Barred Island and Edgar Tennis preserves. Kayaking from the house was also a lot of fun with calm water. Great place to vacation in nature!

I miss those unbelievable sunsets. We travelled to Bar Harbor twice and it is only about 1 hr 15 minutes away. House was perfect for us and had large yard and gas grill.

Absolutely amazing!

The Peregrine House was absolutely perfect. From the stunning views to the beautiful home there was nothing that you could want for. The home is supplied with everything you might want or need. Must say though that the epic moment for us was kayaking in the little inlet and having 2 seals come and join us. Wonderful memories made here.

Maine Get Away

This is a beautiful place to have a vacation. Incredible view of the water, star-filled skies at night, and access to the ocean. The homeowner was very generous with providing bikes, and kayaks to use while there. My husband and daughter went kayaking in the bay and saw seals and starfish. My daughters were amazed at how many stars were in the sky. They enjoyed toasting marshmallows and looking up at the sky. It was a wonderful relaxing break from our daily lives.

A True Treasure

My family stayed for about a week around the 4th of July weekend. It was probably one of our most enjoyable/memorable trips. The house/location were great, the town of Castine unbelievably charming, the area of Maine stunning. Mary Lou's home was a home-away-from home, spacious/comfortable but then so much more. We agree that the pictures don’t do it justice. A big highlight for us was the bay, kayaking, and exploring the rocky shore when the tide was out with our dog who could not get enough of the clear, crisp water! In the evenings, we'd cook a big dinner, have a glass of wine on the deck, and sit around the outdoor fire pit later in the evening. It was all just very relaxing and fun. Mary Lou couldn't be more hospitable and accommodating. Had a few questions along the way and she was always available to help. This was her family's home for many years and the care she has put into it shows. Thank you, Mary Lou for a great family memory.

Stunning Views and Comfortable/Cozy Home

We had a wonderful stay! It is one of those homes that makes you feel comfortable as you walk in the door. It had every thing we needed with the most tremendous views of the bay. We loved watching the seals daily and my children even named one "Sir Sergio the Seal". Castine was a sweet little town with gorgeous homes and small markets/stores and the beech was quiet and clean. Went to Stonington which has a lot of artists and cute stores as well. Had the most amazing dinner at 'Fin and Fern', so check it out if you are in the area. We also went to Holbrook Island Sanctuary, Acadia NP and walked around Booth Bay with all its quaint stores. Although our time there was brief, we enjoyed every moment of this wonderful home and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend.
