A View to Remember
Your home is lovely and just as pictured. Our stay was fun and full of activities. We hiked the Cutts Island Trail in the Rachel Carson Refuge, visited Fort McLary, Fort Foster, the Portland Head Lighthouse, Portland Children’s Museum and Theatre, and an educational visit to Seacoast Science Center where we learned about different Owl species. Fantastic week and visit with our daughter’s family! Thank you for providing a wonderful home for our retreat.

Great location and home for a family. Very clean with everything you needed and more. The owner/manager was very responsive to any questions. The views of Chauncey creek from the home were great and you felt like you had the whole area to yourself. Short walk to explore the beaches and tide pools. Canoes and fishing available to guests and fun things to do with the family inside the home as well.

My in laws, husband, and kids all stayed here for 6 days. There was plenty of room to relax, play games, and cook homemade meals every night. Outside grounds are just stunning. Our pup enjoyed the fenced in yard. This place is just perfect and secluded and we wish we could've stayed longer! The hosts were wonderful and superb communication. This was our second time staying here and already want to book next summer!

Beautiful location with easy access to the beach, the tidal river for kayaks or paddleboard, and biking/walking. This location is ideal. And, the house is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything. We love the quiet area. Listening to the birds from the screen porch is wonderful. We will be returning again next year for sure.

Beautiful hiking and kayaking right off the very private water front as well as fine dining near by and a fun lobster outdoor lobster pound to bring your own wine with lobster dinner served right on the water.

Wonderful vacation
This is a very special location and house. It is perfect as a family or friends gathering place. The location is spectacular. The house overlooks an inlet from the sea with forest and a wealth of wildlife. It is beautiful and peaceful. The back yard is on the water with seating areas, a firepit and a table with chairs. There are also kayaks and a canoe. The house is lovely, spacious, well equipped, very clean and comfortable. We loved the views and the ease of getting into Kittery and Portsmouth. There is so much to explore in the area with easy access from the house. There were so many places to check out near by we couldn't fit them all in within our week there. The local restaurants were great and there are many shopping areas of interest. The property manager answered all our questions with kindness and efficiency. She went beyond expectations to make us comfortable and informed. We had a relaxing and restorative vacation and would love to return. I highly recommend this rare gem of a rental.

Just wonderful!
It was an absolutely wonderful week at David’s and Lucy’s Chauncey Creek House. It easily exceeded expectations. It is beautiful and private, clean, cozy, and had everything. Morning coffee at the waters edge, on the dock, or on the screened in porch, long walks to and along the beaches, kayaking in the afternoon… if not for wanting to try some new restaurants and return to familiar ones, we had no reason to leave the property. If either of us cooked, we might not have. We honestly cannot say enough good things about David’s and Lucy’s and cannot wait to return next year.

The property was wonderful, from the cleanliness of the home to the comfort of the furnishings and grounds. The views of Chauncey Creek were beautiful. We didn't get a chance to use the kayaks, but hopefully we can return next summer and enjoy that. We did most of our cooking at the house. The refrigerator had ample room for our groceries, and the gas stove and grill were great, too. The location of the property was ideal as well, with Fort Foster down the street and the outlet stores and many restaurants just a short distance away. We can't wait to come back!

Navy Visit Spring 2022
This was perfect for my husband and me, our adult daughter and our navy son, who took the week off from Kittery base to be with us, and our dog. Walks and drives to beach daily, dining, shopping, but mostly just enjoying the view (tidal pool fascinating to this Great Lakes family). We cooked almost every dinner, and kitchen well equipped. Beds very comfortable, enough seating for everyone, and played games provided along with many card games. Being an owner of a weekly vacation rental, this one is perfectly laid out and equipped, which does take a lot of work and planning. It was a little cool our time of year to use the screened porch and deck, but we did enjoy the yard out by the water. Our dog (and we) appreciated the fenced in yard for our convenience. Couldn't ask for a better, more beautiful setting for this property. Convenient to shopping but quiet and secluded. We will be back if son stays in Kittery for another year.

Absolutely Lovely Christmas
What an absolutely lovely Christmas we spent here on Chauncey Creek. The house is comfortable and cozy (without being small), the views are stunning (we even had a touch of snow!), and the area is great for walking (our dog loved it as well). The location is also terrific — you are tucked away in nature and peace, but a grocery store with everything we needed for a full holiday meal was just 15 minutes away, and specialty shops in that same distance had treats and other items. Lucy was a great host, checking in with me before we arrived to ensure that all was well, and even leaving a few fun holiday items to incorporate into our festive table setting. Truly, a house that can be enjoyed in all seasons. We are so happy to have found it and highly recommend!

This is the second time I have stayed here with my family for Thanksgiving and I love this house. It is beautiful, the view of the lake is stunning. I am a cook and love that I really don’t have to bring anything there is a fully stocked gourmet kitchen. Had a little drama my dog ran away but all worked out.

Silence
We spent two full days at the Chauncey Creek Cottage and I was struck by how quiet the neighborhood is. (And I live in the country and am used to a quiet environment!) The home is truly a home; it's cozy, has personality, the kitchen has everything one would need and its location is picture-perfect. I neglected to notice that cable TV wasn't listed as an amenity but Lucy was quick to not only respond to my disappointment but offered a very swift resolution. And I'm proud to say I've mastered the Apple TV swipe remote! We're grateful for the opportunity to have made the Chauncey Creek Cottage our home for a few days and enjoyed exploring Gerrish Island!

We stayed at the Chauncey Creek House during our motorcycle trip from OH to Maine. Beautiful home and surrounding property! Screen porch was a great place to have coffee in the early morning. Garage space was large enough for both motorcycles, and enough room in the driveway for the additional car we rented the day it rained. Info binder was very helpful, especially on where to find the path to the beaches. The entire neighborhood is so peaceful and beautiful, we enjoyed our morning and evening walk to the beach, and all the wild turkey and deer we passed along the way (Highly recommend bug spray on your walk though, mosquitos will feast on you). Location is also ideal for day trips to Salem, Boston, Portland, and the White Mountains. Overall, this home and area is wonderful, and we'd all highly recommend Chauncey Creek House!

Piece of Paradise
The Chauncey Creek house was the perfect vacation spot for our family. For the first few days the weather didn't totally cooperate with our outdoor plans, but the views, the atmosphere and the home's amenities were so fantastic it didn't matter that we couldn't be outside. (Great time to enjoy the soaking tub, play board games, read and just relax while looking beyond the 2 beautiful white birch trees.) Once the rain stopped, we were able to enjoy fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding as well as sitting in the red chairs under the wisteria enjoying nature along with some coffee. We began and ended each day with walks to the nearby beaches. The home's proximity to Portsmouth, many interesting places on the Maine coast and great restaurants is also a bonus! We were so lucky to find this gem! Thank you, Lucy and David, for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We hope to return!

We were able to explore Kittery, Ogonquit and Portsmouth during our 3 day stay, as well as take the kayaks, tie boat and canoe out for a spin.
