PUFFIN ROCK - PRIVATE OCEANFRONT BEACH IN BROOKLIN, MAINE

Our vacation at Puffin Rock was everything our family -- grandparents, adults & grandkids ages 10 down to 1 -- could have hoped for, and more. The home was perfect for us: private, easy access to the bay just a short and pleasant walk from the house; a few sets of Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay; kayaks and paddleboards; strolling and play on the pleasant beach that appeared when the tide was out; nice yard for the kids near the house; great deck for outside meals. The house was very comfortable and informal, and well-equipped. The interior layout was great, with two bedrooms on one side of the house -- great for a little privacy for one of our families which had three kids, and the other three bedrooms on the other side.Access to Acadia NP was easy enough, and we enjoyed Blue Hill, nearby shops & lobster shacks, and beautiful warm lakes even more. Mostly, we loved relaxing at Puffin Rock.Our hosts were always responsive and pleasant. Everything was great.Write

Our group of 8 family plus friends enjoyed the beautiful setting and comfortable home. The bathrooms were nice and clean. The kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed kayaking at high tide and beach walks at low tide. There was available space to play games in various rooms. The many stairs (even on the first level) were a challenge to our older guests. The sunsets were magical.

We stayed in Brooklin for one week and had a great time. This rental is the best I have ever stayed in. The kitchen has every pot and pan and utensil you would need to prepare meals. The game room made my 3 yr old grandson smile real big when he walked into it. So much to do.! All the rooms and beds were clean and comfortable. 
So many different outdoor activities and places to sit and enjoy. The yard was well kept and beautiful. Lots if places to enjoy the sunrise and the sunset.
Definitely a place to return to. 
Thanks for making our vacation stress free and easy.

Thanks,

Beautiful stay in Maine

Our entire family was delighted with our stay at Puffin Rock! There were eight of us ranging in age from 77 to 8. We loved the ocean view, swimming, kayaking (stable ones of various sizes to fit everyone-even the 8yo), and paddle boarding (also good quality and stable). We also loved eating on the deck at the spacious table and finding spots to relax, both inside of the house as well as on the grounds. We each had our favorite places on the hillside overlooking the water for morning coffee. Inside was very comfortable and well appointed, with a well equipped kitchen. The kids loved the game room and the DVD choices. There was a great collection of books by local authors. We also enjoyed the spacious living room, the comfy sitting area looking out over the water, and the breakfast nook also looking out to the water. This was our first time to Brooklin, and we loved the area. A favorite outing was walking to Harriman Point (Eastern Beach) for a swim and picnic. We will be back!

We will be back!

Grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren ages 7 and 9 (7 in all) had plenty to do right here at Puffin Rock all week. All ages kayaked and even swam at low and high tides, explored for crabs and hermit crabs, harvested a few clams and mussels. The art room was generously full of all sorts of supplies and games and the kitchen was full of everything we needed (and more). It was a heat wave, even up here, but the fans kept us cool and the cove kept us busy. We roasted hotdogs and smores in the firepit and enjoyed the wonderful deck and sitting areas around the property. We didn't venture far, just for a lobster at nearby Dock and Dine, Tinder hearth for Pizza and Brooklin for the candy and general store. Every day was a delight. There was plenty of room for adults and kids to spread out in the house and throughout the property. So well supplied and lived in, this home really is made for making memories.
