The house is great, with amazing old charm. The layout is functional, and the view is exactly as shown in photos. We enjoyed selecting our own lobsters at a couple of fishermen's wharfs and attempting to cook our own fresh seafood. We also enjoyed the view, and the kids enjoyed gathering shells off the rocky beach during low tide. This place is great for a remote family vacation along the coast of Maine. Location-wise, it is about 1.5 hrs. to Bar Harbor and about 1 hour to the Cutler coast. We made both excursions, which are manageable, and we enjoyed both locations. Groceries in town are sparse at best. Machias is about 30 minutes north and had a good grocery store, a pharmacy, and a nice restaurant in Helen's. All of this was as expected and worked out totally fine. My only minor nit is that Jonesport as a town is relatively run down and not as well-kept in general as neighboring towns. It provided a perfectly fine location for us to settle in, but it was a little disappointing that there were no restaurants or decent shops within the town. Overall, we had a fantastic vacation, and Margene communicated with us very well and helped answer questions throughout the process.
