Seclusion
If you like to be secluded then this is the place..Beautiful setting with the water right there. The house came fully equipped, except fans because of no air and a regular coffee maker, but we made it work..We would of enjoyed the outdoors more but Mother nature had other plans.

Beautiful and peaceful place
Bob's place was a very beautiful and peaceful place and about 1 hour from the cabot trail. If you like kayaking the private beach is a great spot to take the kayaks. the property has 2 Kayaks and life jackets. Note that there is no wifi in the property but LTE data works on your phone. So if you need a lot of data during your stay you need to know this. Check in process in our case was the only downside since we didn't get the check in information until we had to call VRBO. Bob did advise there was some issues sending the message through VRBO app.
