Three Porches by the Ocean

Relaxing old cottage. Had several maintenance issues but owner was prompt in responding. Note no air conditioner installed on upper level.

We really enjoyed our time at Three Porches. The house has a wonderful view of the ocean at the end of a peninsula. We enjoyed walking along the rocks at low tide and enjoyed the sunsets. While the house is along the road the traffic is slow and minimal with more walkers and runners than cars. It was lovely to listen to the waves with the windows cracked at night and watch the lobster boats while we had our morning coffee on the front porch. We loved the charm of an older home. While not everyone may appreciate creaky wood floors and the rustic coastal vibe, we really enjoyed it. The top two bedrooms are accessed by a steep, narrow staircase, which may not be suitable for all, especially if you need to use the bathroom at night which is on the floor below. The size of the room and view of the ocean made up for the inconvenience, in my opinion, but I know neither of my septuagenarian family members felt comfortable navigating the stairs at night and therefore chose other bedrooms. There were six bedrooms in total. All of them were lovely, though five were on the smaller side and one had a squeaky bed. We only had five people in our group and no couples, so there was plenty of room for us and no one had to use the squeaky bed. There is one full bathroom on the second floor with four of the bedrooms and a full bathroom on the first floor. This was fine for our group and is part of the experience with an older home. The rental company was very communicative and available. Thanks!

Our family of 8 stayed at the property. It wss perfect for us. Each couple had a room and each 'kid' had their own room. That was an added plus. The layout of the house was perfect for watching and listening to the ocean as well as dinners together. Plenty of space. Views were amazing from most of the house! Great quiet, friendly area. Would definitely stay again!

It is a great house. I would suggest having twin beds in one or two of the second floor bedrooms would give greater flexibility. The second floor front bedroom, on the left facing the ocean, is pressing on the electrical outlet. But other than those minor issues, bravo!!!

This is our third year staying at Three Porches. It works great for us. It has absolute amazing Ocean Point views in all directions. The house and kitchen are fairly well-equipped and is very spacious with many bedrooms and bathrooms on two floors. It is a bit more rustic than some other places though the kitchen has all the modern appliances. You will enjoy staying here!
