Spectacular!
This cottage is a wonderful mix of rustic and renovated. The chef’s kitchen is a dream and so is the bathroom on the first floor. The porch offers the perfect blend of spacious relaxation and watching the water ebb and flow in front of your eyes. We had 7 guests who stayed the whole week and a few friends that came for just a single night. We had three double kayaks brought to our home and made our way to the Lighthouse on a gorgeous day. Relax and enjoy this beautiful home. We hope to come back soon.

Beautiful spot on the coast of Maine
This is a well loved family summer home. It is set on an inlet along the coast of Maine, perfect for kayaking and relaxing. The home is fully equipped with the exception of a furnace which was minor issue as we had unseasonably cool weather. The fireplace did get plenty of use which added to our warmth and the ambiance!!!
We have rented homes in the area for several years now and this is our all time favorite!!!!

Awesome vacations spot !
This place is simply awesome. Everything is perfect and Alan is a great owner, he answered promptly.
Perfect for a family, few minutes away from the beach. Our toddler enjoyed the covered porch. The kitchen is fully equipped. We are going back definitely!
