Another great stay in Belfast
My family and I had another wonderful stay in Belfast. Located a couple blocks from the center of town, we enjoyed having a "home base" walking distance to the water, shops, and restaurants in the center of town. The house itself was comfortable as always with plenty of room to find a quiet spot when needed and a great kitchen for cooking meals.

perfect family get together
I was impressed with how well stocked it was. We all like to cook and it was the best kitchen we have had in all the years of renting from VRBO. The space was wonderful for multiple family members. The location is so accessible to shops and outdoor spaces. It is next to a busy road so there is a fair amount of traffic noise without that this house would be 100% for me. We hope to return again next year.

Belfast’s Home Away from Home- A true gem!
Lee and Charlie’s home in Belfast is the perfect place to stay. The location close to the boat house was perfect for sea glass hunting on the beach and walking into town for ice cream, a new book, a new toy, a beer or to eat at a restaurant. The interior of the home worked perfectly for our family of 5. The house is well stocked with all the necessities and even more thoughtful things for day trips. We had an amazing stay at their home. They communicated with us in a very timely fashion and the check in and out process was very easy. I

Great Belfast home for large group
The house is large and airy with great porch and patio sitting areas. Comfy beds. The kitchen is well stocked with everything for cooking at home, including large lobster pot, roasting pan, and stock pot. Wish list items - knife sharpener, lobster picks, large cutting board and serving platters. We love to cook! Things to know: parking at the house will work for up to 3 regular sized cars (not trucks or large SUVs). Everything is in walking distance if you don't have mobility issues. Make time for the Saturday Farmers Market and buy lobsters and clams for home cooking at The Lobster Pound!

Perfect family house
We had the good fortune to stay at Lee and Charlie's house for the first week of August. It was the perfect place for the nine of us, including two small grandchildren. The house is located a very easy walking distance to town and the harbor front, which made everything in Belfast very accessible. The house was very clean, and very well stocked up. My only suggestion would be to have some beach chairs and blankets available, as there are concerts at the nearby park and many beaches in the area. The house was large, with four bedrooms, two kitchens, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and everyone was able to find some private space. There were clear instructions for check in, check out and how to run the washer and dryer. Communication with Lee and Charlie was easy. We loved sitting on the front porch with coffee watching people go by. Everyone in the family commented on how good a house it was for our needs, and I hope we are able to stay there again in the future. Highly recommended!

Great location!
This house was very charming! Perfect for our group of three small families. It had all the basics for cooking, good pans, etc. Wish it had kid (plastic) plates and cups, but that might be my only piece of feedback. The co-op down the street is great, and easy to get to. Belfast is a sleepy little town that’s quaint, and was a not-too-bad distance to Acadia (1:20 mins).

Awesome property!
We chose this house for a family get together as my sister lives in the area so the location couldn’t have been better! Walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants and close to the harbour. This house was one of the best equipped that we have been in…great kitchen with more than adequate dishes and glassware for a large group, plenty of towels and a great supply of paper products and soaps. The house is very spacious but also feels cozy. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

Really a home away from home
My family and I (myself, wife, son, daughter, my mom) all stayed here for a week in late August 2022. The home is so comfortable with plenty of space to relax both inside and out. Some of the things we appreciated most: the deck, table, and chairs in the yard for afternoon wine and cheese, the short walk to the center of town, rainy day entertainment inside (books, games, and of course TV), the generous amount of linens and towels, and the washer and dryer. The home itself is so nicely painted and updated, while keeping the original feel of the house. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Great home for our family vacation and first visit to Belfast. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the front porch, and walking into town. We appreciated the number of bedrooms, big dining room, and historic character of the house. The kitchen is modern and had everything for cooking and baking.

Wonderful family vacation!
The property was just as advertised! Beautiful inside and out! The second "apartment" was perfect for my brother and his young family. There was plenty of room to be together as well as have some privacy. Being a former chef I'd prefer gas kitchen appliances however the electric stove held up great, even using two large lobster pots at the same time! The area was quiet and the front porch was used every morning for coffee. The town is walking distance for anything you need. Due to dietary reasons we cook over 90% of our own meals and the kitchen and dining area was absolutely equipped for the 10 people in our family, from ages 3 to 81. Considering the past 2-3 years we all had, this was a perfect place and exactly what we needed.

Charming House in Quaint Seaside Town! Perfect!
This house is well kept with a 1900th-century feel and all the comforts of our time! The decor is fresh and new without detracting from the authenticity of the time period of the house. I loved style. In fact, I took pictures to try to recreate some of the New England charms in my own house. Our group consisted of two families traveling together. This house was perfect for us! Each family had their own private part of the house with 2-3 bedrooms (depending on how you configure the pass-through rooms) and our own bathrooms. This configuration offered us the private space we needed and also gave us space to come together on the main floor for meals, to relax, and to spend time together. This house would also be great for 1 large family as you can configure the pass-through rooms to make it one large house. The kitchen is modern and well stocked with everything you need to make some great meals.... including good knives and a crock-pot! The bathrooms are clean, modern, and well stock with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a blow dryer! We loved having a washer and dryer in the house! Both are new, large capacity, and very efficient. Belfast is a charming coastal town.... the house is within walking distance of the center of town and the shore. We loved walking all around the neighborhoods and admiring the New England architecture and gardens. There is a small grocery store (Co-Op) within walking distance or a bigger and nicer (Hannaford) within a 5-minute drive. For what our two families wanted to see of Maine, this house in Belfast was centrally located. Acadia National Park, Castine Harbor, Owls Head, and Rockland Breakwater Lighthouses were all within a 1hr and a few minutes drive. We ate in town most nights... A word of advice......make reservations early! Most restaurants and shops close early. Everything in town seemed to wind down around 8-8:30 pm. Even in July! One of our favorite places to go was Wild Cow Creamery...YUM! One can not have too much ice cream on vacation! : ) Overall, our two families loved our stay in Belfast and this lovely house. Thank you Lee for sharing your comfortable and beautiful home.

Exceptional property!
Three of my grown children and their families stayed with me at Lee's and Charlie's gorgeous home in Belfast. Remarkably, we all had our own bedrooms, except for 2 grandchildren who slept in the bunk beds. In addition to the spacious living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor, we also could sprawl onto the front porch or the back deck. A fenced in yard was ideal for the 3 year old who needed to run around. Besides being really lovely and well-equipped, the house was just 2 blocks from the library and perhaps 4 block from the center of town, which had something for everyone of us. We are all so glad we found this wonderful place to gather for a reunion.
