A part of me wants to keep this place a secret, but that would be selfish, and Shankari & Paul deserve all the positive praise! We have been taking an extended family vacation together since 2005. We were looking for a place with plenty of room for adults, teens, young children and pups. That search led us to Retreat House. With an abundance of sleeping options and plenty of open space to gather together, this house offers it all. The large dining table was key for our family meals. Everything about this home was beyond amazing! The location was serene and peaceful but close to many attractions within driving distance. Sitting on the deck for the view or going down to the beach were equally amazing. We rented kayaks from Don Pedro's which is a must! The wildlife! Seals, bald eagles, seagulls, osprey, cormorants, deer in the field...we even got to experience a RARE whale sighting right from the beach! All incredible blessings for a nature/animal loving family. Did I mention the rainbow? Paul and Janet were the absolute best hosts! Janet met us at the house for a tour when we arrived, and they were always quick to respond if there was a question. The little personal touches such as the smore's bar and popcorn/candy bar were so thoughtful and appreciated. Two amazing people who truly care about your experience. Wonderful memories were made! Our week was as perfect as it could get, and we can't wait to head back next year to continue our annual week together in Maine!
