"Great piece of waterfront property on the Maine coast it’s owned by the former President Bush and First Lady. It’s such a beautiful home and grounds ! Tennis courts and a huge swimming pool. Not sure Who lives here now. I’m sure it’s used by the other family members ! I’m sure it’s not a seasonal rental ! Lol"
