Very enjoyable home with great views and plenty of space to relax. The kitchen was nicely equipped and the beds comfortable and all aspects of the home were clean and well maintained. Definitely we’d stay again.
Wonderful house, fantastic location. Many happy hours sitting on the deck and walking to and exploring the lovely town of Eastport. Definitely want to return!
The host was excellent, house and view were gorgeous, and the rental was very well stocked with the little things including spices and shampoo. Will likely go again at some point.

Amazing view!
This house was perfect. Amazing view, newly renovated and a short walk to town.
Perfect home and location for a fabulous vacation! Our third year visiting maine and we will be back! We saw whales, seals, bald eagles and so many beautiful birds from the deck enjoying coffee or wine.
This was our second time at this rental. It is a beautiful house with an amazing view from the deck and also from many rooms of the house! We had a fantastic stay and hope to return!
It was hard to leave this home! The view from the deck were stunning. Every morning and evening were spent out there watching the water. The home had everything we needed. The kids loved the ping pong table. Thanks for sharing your home!
THE HOUSE WAS GREAT AND THE VIEW WAS SO RELAXING FROM THE DECK, LISTENING TO THE OCEAN. I WISH THE WEATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER , DUE TO ALL THE RAIN WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO TO MAJOR ACTIVIES THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO. HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL
Can’t say enough positive things about this home and location- while this is probably not the best spot for those who want nightlife or fine dining, if you love nature, peace & quiet and LOTS of steamed lobster- this is your spot! Deb was a pleasure to work with & an incredibly helpful host! House is well-equipped, beds are super comfortable, and the view is an absolute show-stopper! A+!
This was our third stay at this beautiful Eastport home, and it continues to be just as magical as ever. The house is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully renovated, with incredible panoramic views of the bay. We loved waking up to breathtaking sunrises and spending time out on the spacious deck, watching for marine mammals and stargazing in the peaceful quiet of the coast.The open layout makes it easy to relax and enjoy quality time with family, and the kitchen & dining spaces are perfect for shared meals. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. The location is ideal – a short walk to downtown Eastport’s charming shops, galleries, and restaurants, yet still feels secluded and serene.Each time we’ve visited, we’ve left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning our next stay. This place is truly a special retreat, and we’re so grateful to the owners for sharing it with others.
Absolutely loved our trip!! This was our first trip to Maine and we weren't disappointed! Starting with this lovely house with spectacular views from both inside and outside!! It was great relaxing on the deck watching the seals, eagles, porpoises, and whales everyday!! Along with watching the ferry run between Deer Island and Campbello Island daily. We had a great time exploring Eastport and the surrounding area! The house is well furnished and felt like home! The ping pong table was a great addition that was also enjoyed daily! We will definitely be back!!!!
Where to begin. Gorgeous house, clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need in this special place. Your own nature excursion from the deck. We had daily sightings of whales, eagles and seals, all in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee in your hand. Lots of information on local attractions and the best time to go. The views….300 degree panoramic view of the Canadian Maritime. Best girls week ever! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

I'm always so happy when people love it as much as we do! I'm so glad you had a great week!

This property was absolutely breathtaking..both inside and out. It is exactly as shown in the pictures inside and the views capture you from the moment you arrive! Clark, the seal came every day to sun himself on the little island out front and stayed during entire low tide…even brought his girlfriend now and then. Sunrise is amazing..don’t miss it! As for the house it is beautifully decorated (I am stealing a few ideas for my own home!). Fully stocked with plenty of dinnerware, silverware, cookware, spices, and gadgets! The beds were comfy, the house was spotlessly clean, views from every single room. Owners were very friendly and helpful. This was hands down one of the best places we have ever stayed. I cannot think of a single negative thing to say. Oh…and when we were able to tear ourselves away from the deck, the downtown area is very cute..lots of shops and places to eat, friendly people, and very walkable. 10 stars if we could!
We had never been to Maine before and staying in Eastport was the perfect experience.
Deb was ever so helpful in suggestions on things-to-do that would accommodate my 83-year-old mother.
The house was lovely, everything we needed was there.
IGA was very well stocked.
Townsfolks are super friendly and happy to tell you about local history and places to visit.
Things I recommend are:
-go to Dastardly Dick's for coffee. Great way to meet and chat with locals.
-WaCo Diner has great food and friendly service
-Walk to downdown and enjoy the shops, you really do not have to drive around there much.
-Visit Fisherman's Wharf in Lubec, if you go out to see the West Quaddy Lighthouse. Great lunch
-In Canada, the Kingsbrae Gardens are perfect for a date night or anniversary luncheon or dinner.
we will be back again
This property is amazing. The description was even more than described. Well stocked, clean, easy access. Very relaxing to watch the water and all the activities seals, dolphins, eagles and gulls, ships, ferries. Eastport the city is a slow paced environment in October. If you are looking for relaxation and to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the spot for you. Hiking opportunities and great spot to collect sea glass in the area. Enjoyed our vacation.
What a perfect spot! Loved Eastport & your home. The views from inside & out were amazing — over to Canada and nearby watching all the shore birds, porpoises, & whales near the rocks. Loved tracking the Deer Island Ferry going back & forth by different routes depending on the tides. The sunrise & sunset colors were lovely. We did all of your “Favorite Things To Do” and more. We had a great time! Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home. You have the best travel information of any place we’ve ever rented! So helpful. Thanks again.
The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked with everything you would need. The view was spectacular. Deb was wonderful to work with. They had so many recommendations, maps, directions, and restaurant information, you never had to ask anything about the area. I would stay here again anytime! Absolutely the best week I have had.
The view is amazing. I think this sentence will sum it up nicely.
Deer in the back yard, whales, porpoises, seals and eagles in the front yard. The "Old Sow" was fun to watch every day.
