Perfect Location/Gorgeous view

We were looking for a place to stay and host extended family. Oscar by the Sea was perfect! Conveniently located, well appointed, with comfy beds and a great view. We enjoyed walks on the seawall, visiting Ward park and hosting family. Good restaurants and coffee shops near by. Hosts were easy to work with and very accommodating.

Great property close to the marina

We were sailing in the Bangor Regatta so the location was perfect being close to the marina. We were a group of eight singles and in the VRBO listing it stated eight beds (six double and two single) but found there to be one double short. On speaking with Chris & Sara they were not aware of the error in the VRBO site (now amended)as it had not been an issue in the past. Chris sorted it out and delivered a bed round so it was not a problem. The property has great views and was very roomy and comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and Chris and Sara could not have been more helpful.

Gorgeous View

Chris & Sara were gracious and courteous hosts. The property is as described and pictured. The views from the front of the house are amazing! The property had plenty of space for our 2 families with a total of 8 adults. The coastal walking path was beautiful. There are plenty of lovely cafes nearby. I highly recommend Oscar's By The Sea and hope to return in the future.

Amazing property

The photos don’t do this house justice - amazing views and large rooms made this a perfect house for our large family- the owners Sara and Chris couldn’t have been more helpful in firstly rebooking us due to COVID and then allowing an early check in - thank you - this will be our first choice for any future family gatherings

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Friends and family said I was "crazy" to take on this renovation project, but I had a goal in mind, and now that goal is complete, I can step back and admire Oscar's by the Sea. Each room has been stripped back to basics, yet I have managed to retain much of the original Victorian charm. The property has been renovated top to bottom, and we are thrilled with the end result. The sea views from many of the front rooms are simply stunning, you can waste time simply taking it all in ....Come and see for yourself what Oscar's by the Sea has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property
