Ocean Gables — Local services in Friendship

Home is in a nice location. You have the marina across the street with nice sunsets and very friendly lobster workers. Down the road is a boat lonch, and when the tide is low there is a road that people drive across to get to the island where people live. Great place to walk and find shells. The 3 kids that were with the group had a blast getting shells and playing in the water. We got to see a sea plane being built and then moved to a dock to be flown on the 4th of July, but ended up being to windy ,so they flew it the next morning. Was a great experience. Fireworks on the water were amazing all around the inlet. Locals are very personable. Was able to buy 15 lobsters for the 4th. Went to a light house owned by the coast guard called Eagles Head light house, worth the ride to see it. The house is very roomy, but needs some TLC. Housekeeping doesn't do a good job at cleaning. The rooms we used were in desperate need of vacuuming. I would have cleaned them , but no vacum on the second floor where we were and stairs to steep for me to carry up. Fans are in desperate need of cleaning. Dryer wasn't working so bought a clothesline to hang out towels that we had washed. Sink in kitchen needs a stopper, wasted dish soap because water wouldn't stay in. Windowsills are disgusting and haven't been cleaned in years. Needs a mop to wash the floors as they get dirty. Wish there was wood available for fireplace. We scavenged up some for a few fires so could make stores. Overall we made the best of it with all our friends and family. Yes we'd go back and hope that things...

Plenty of indoor and outdoor local...
