About this house rental
Welcome to our beautiful home in scenic Naples, Maine. It offers a large, newly renovated kitchen, dining room, family room, 4 bedrooms, and a large daylight (finished) basement which includes a luxurious, king size bed. We are situated on the eastern shore of Brandy Pond offering you a never-ending, visual overload of the lake and its surroundings from our shore. We have a large backyard where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful view, and two docks for you to tie up your boat. Or, you can just sit back and relax, and bask in the beautiful sunshine all afternoon, watching the watercraft slowly pass by, with the Naples Marina in the distance. It is quite a stunning view and one to remember. At sundown, you'll catch the incredible sunsets, while grilling up some good dinner. The possibilities are endless. So take a lot of pictures like we do. We want you to have the time of your life!! Please read our reviews! They are all excellent, except one bad one submitted by someone who left our home in terrible condition and lost their cleaning fee. (It was bound to happen, someday!) But, other than her, our guests loved our home. In fact, we have renters who book with us every year!!
***Note: Please note that in addition to the Traveler Service Fee that VRBO charges the Primary Renter, VRBO also charges the property owner a 3% Credit Card Processing Fee when processing the Primary Renter's credit card payment. As a result, the Primary Renter must agree to reimburse this fee to the property owner by sending a separate check when signing and returning our Short Term Rental Agreement.
The cleaning fee is set at $350.00, but is 100% reimbursable, if you choose to clean our home yourself, and return it to the condition it was when you began your stay. When you arrive, you will move into an absolutely sparkling clean home. We simply ask that you clean it, thoroughly. The cleaning fee may also be used to cover minor damages or missing items. All of this is detailed in our Sample Short Term Rental Agreement With House Rules, which you will see in this listing.
If you wish to have the house cleaned by a cleaning service, you must notify us at the time of your booking, so that we can reserve the date with the cleaning service. The cost would be $350.00.

This house has a wonderful location on a hill overlooking Brandy Pond. The yard is huge. The house itself is well designed with a big dining room table looking out over the water and the kitchen has plenty of space for multiple cooks The beds have comfortable mattresses, but the 2 front bedrooms upstairs don’t have window coverings on the lake facing windows which means the light pours in very early. We didn’t use the basement level because we didn’t find it appealing
We rented kayaks and it was easy to launch them from the dock. It was a bit intimidating to use them on the weekend since there was so much power boat traffic. During the week it was fine though and we did see 2 loons.
There are some additional charges besides those you see on-line. If you use a credit card to pay, Michael charges for the credit card fee. He also charges a $99 fee for damage insurance. He requires that you go to the town hall to get a trash permit and then take your trash to the transfer station when you leave.

Pros:
* Very nice house, comfortable beds, high-quality furnishings. Probably the nicest place we have stayed in the Maine Lakes region.
* Great dock setup for swimming and lounging
* Walking distance to shops and restaurants
* Great biking and hiking options nearby
Cons:
* Would have preferred to pay a reasonable cleaning fee instead of doing all the cleaning ourselves. Owner had very high cleaning expectations, and a high cleaning deposit of $500. We knew this going in, so it wasn't a surprise, but it definitely took a few hours out of our vacation time.
* Being so close to Naples and the connection between Brandy Pond and Long Lake meant we had a lot of motorized boat traffic, especially around the weekends. We could also hear live music from nearby bars on weekends, although it didn't go on super late.
* Handoff took a long time when we arrived; the owner could leave most of the house instructions in a binder to make this go faster.

We had an amazing week! Everything we needed for 9 adults & a 6 month old. We loved the table & chairs on the dock and spent quite a bit of time down there. Was also very nice to have tables & chairs on the deck for our meals. The downstairs area was perfect for our daughter, husband & baby! Town is within walking distance and the “walkers” in our family had plenty of areas in the mornings for their daily exercise. Would definitely recommend and we will be back! Thank you Michael for sharing your beautiful home with us!
