We were traveling to Chebeague for a family wedding with 3 couples, a 5 year old and a 10 month old baby.
Our stay was, simply put, just fantastic. This home is beautifully set on the waterfront overlooking the Casco Bay with access to a rocky beach from the backyard. My 5 year old loved riding in the kayaks which were stored directly on the beach. The deck was my favorite place to enjoy morning coffee and there were plenty of blankets to keep warm in the chill of the Maine mornings. We had family dinners every night, including a lobster dinner which we cooked outdoors using the lobster cooker.
The location was convenient to the Chebeague Island Inn where the wedding was located. It was also less than 10 minutes to drive to the small grocery store. The rec center, which is located about 1 minute away from the house, has a pool and tennis courts. The lovely Two Birds Cafe is also about a 1 minute drive for breakfast pastries and sandwiches.
The owners left their car for us at the dock, which we heavily relied on to get around the island. This was so helpful, especially when transporting kids and lots of gear, golf bags, etc.
The only downfall is the WiFi is finicky on the island and in the house and you need to bring most things with you including the food you plan to eat, although the Inn has a great restaurant and bar which we enjoyed. Otherwise, we are hoping to come back to enjoy this gorgeous location again in the future! Thank you Anne for all your helpful advice and communication!
