There's a seaside Amusement Park (Palace Playland... It opened April 15, 2011, and is scheduled to close October 10, 2011), and a wooden pier on the beach that contains many other businesses, including a variety of souvenir shops.
Before I tell you how reasonable her rates are, let me show you the actual rental...This is the view from the deck...
They rent all year round. Summer is by the week. Winter is by the night, week, or month. Off season rates are $110 a night plus tax or $750 a week plus tax.
It's quieter off season, which some people really like. But then there's stuff all around to do; Portland is 20 minutes away. The rental is 30 minutes from Kittery and 40 minutes from Freeport...for the outlet shoppers. :-)
If anyone is interested in renting they can call her at 860-778-5751 or feel free to send a message by email to thesandcastleoob@aol.com.
There's a whole lot I haven't told you about what there is to do in this area, and how great of a place Maine is to take a little vacation 'getaway'. Hubby and I, and a few other families went up to Maine, a different area though, for a week. I have video, pictures, and poetry about it!! ^_^ We had such a good, relaxing, fun time!!!
So, if you're thinking about it...and for that price I think it's a real bargain! {You can take another couple with you and share the cost!!}...you can call her and tell her 'Debbie' sent you. She doesn't call me 'The Wug'! ^_^ That's just for 'you'!! Ha! Ha!

Okay, that's my volunteer service announcement for the day! LOL I didn't have to be paid to tell you that. I know her. I have and know friends that have stayed there. I know it's a good deal!! :-)
And speaking of good deals...how about something FREE?!! :-) I'm talking about my Giveaway, of course! ^_^ I didn't tell you yesterday what the new Giveaway for September 1, 2011 would be! Well, here it is...
They'll be a couple more close-up shots on the Giveaway link, along with details of size, and so forth. You can see that link on the right hand side bar...over there -----> somewhere! ^_^
I'm off to get me some breakfast, get me some more sleep, and get me a 'plan' for what I'm gonna do today!...(I've been kinda wimpy and lazy...PAIN!...the last few days)...I know finishing my circle scarf will be on the list!...Yep! Almost finished!! :-] What are your plans today?!!
{The poem today will not be the complete poem. Trust me, you don't want to be here till next week trying to read it!! LOL I wrote it ALL WEEK the week we were in Maine. I'll just give you a taste of some of the stanzas.}
The "Maine" Event (shortened version)
"Uh-Yuh!" It was amazing,
our vacation trip to Maine.
Two cars, one van, one truck
following along just like a train.
The view from here to there
got better and better as we would go.
Not many stops-But stretching a lot,
and, of course, a big cup of "Joe"......
Hubby couldn't wait to fish!
He wanted to catch, at least, "some";
But when they went out in the canoe
all he caught was a butt that was numb!....
Young friends became closer friends,
giggling and braiding their hair,
paddling and screaming in the canoe-
saying: "Taking pictures wasn't fair!"....
Hubby and his friend made our breakfast
every morning-without fail;
But it was not as good as their singing
of "Cherokee People"-some dancing, no jail!
There was an attempt at star gazing,
but the equipment somehow went awry.
Thankfully we just had to look up-
The sky was beautiful, with the naked eye.
When I think of certain things that happened
I can't help but let loose a smile-
like Jeff fishing for 'boat piers' and 'trees',
casting his rod (as if Moses-at the Nile!)
Sometime later he did catch a fish,
a 'little' perch, his "catch of the day!"
I fear in later years to come
it'll be the 'Big' fish that somehow got away....
We were spiritually satisfied, as well,
with a Book Study on our 6th night.
We listened to each other comment
with keen ears, by soft lamp light.
Friday was half-sad, half-happy,
with us packing and stretching the time,
reminiscing about what a good time we had
and personal mountains yet to climb.
Especially because this vacation
has reminded us what we can share
unitedly-in the New System-
We just have to work hard to get there!
