traveler reviews for this lubec house rental

75% Accuracy

coastalperson (Rhode Island)
Review submitted: August 4, 2011   Date of arrival: July 23, 2011

The accommodations were everything advertised with a very roomy 4 rooms and an updated and fully functional kitchen.
The drawback is the misleading "sandy beaches", not. The water view was great, but the walk to the beach was not as advertised and the beach is stony and covered in mussell shells.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with teenagers, sight seeing

Owners response: I am sorry you found the beach to be less sandy and more difficult to access than you had hoped it would be. The "sandy" beaches of Way Down East Maine do have more small stones, polished rocks, shells, and gravel than do the sandy beaches of southern Maine. Our 15 - 20 foot tides change the beach every day, sweeping sand off the beach and sweeping it back on the beach. There are times when there are more stones and times when there is more sand. The shape of the beach and the shoreline also changes daily. Unfortunately, the beach has suffered some erosion problems recently and the path onto the beach is currently steeper than usual. While the ever-changing tides and the natural fluctuations of the beach and shoreline are fascinating, it does mean that from time to time the beach will have less sand and the path onto the beach will be steeper or longer than at other times. Again, I am sorry your visit was during a time when the beach had more shells and stones and less sand.

Wonderful "Home Away from Home"

Cellista (Philadelphia)
Review submitted: December 2, 2010   Date of arrival: August 7, 2010

My husband and I have been coming to SummerKeys, the music and fine arts program, in Lubec, for the last eight years. We have been renting this property from Jody every summer. She is wonderful to work with, and First Light Loft has amazing views plus every amenity one could want. It is cozy yet spacious and feels like home.

Recommended for: age 55+, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing, romantic getaway
