Perfect location. Clean and updated property. The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. Highly recommend this property. Only problem was not knowing how to get more towels, but the next morning we had towels delivered.
The property was perfect. Close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. House was clean and had all the necessary amenities. We had a large group with 4 teenagers and they were very happy with the accommodations. Shared back yard area which had privacy for the group. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxation vacation in Maine.
Don’t be fooled! To say I am unhappy is an understatement. This property is nothing like the listing and the host is a very dishonest, and rude individual. When inspecting after check in the property was very dirty. Mold in showers, bugs, floors and walls covered in dirt, and stained mattresses that did not have protective covers. When reaching out to the host to let him know the state that the property was in, he was very defensive and blamed us for all of my complaints about the property. We ended up staying at a local hotel for the nights and left our vacation early. Defiantly not worth the price he charges.
Overall, my recent stay was pleasant, but several issues prevented a five-star rating. The cottage’s construction quality was subpar, with untaped drywall screws, poorly painted trims, and malfunctioning windows. The kitchen sink faucet had reduced pressure and made a “screaming” noise.Communication was lacking: there were no trash bags or amenities kits as promised, and the coin-operated laundry facilities weren’t clearly described in the listing, costing 4 per wash and dry cycle. We found dirty dishes, rusty can openers, a binky under a bed, stained sheets, and many spiders. The outdoor light didn’t work, which was a safety concern.Additionally, the WiFi had a very weak signal throughout the home, making it difficult to stay connected.On a positive note, the host was friendly and thoughtful, leaving extra space heaters that were helpful during the cold weather. The home was lovely, homey, and well-decorated with a coastal feel. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and in a safe area, allowing us to walk there with our children without issue.In general, the home felt unready as if they rushed to complete construction to start renting as soon as possible. There are many issues that would need to be addressed for a more comfortable and enjoyable stay and to earn a five-star review.
This place is exactly as advertised. Really well put together and clean. Comfy beds and climate control in all rooms. Easy walk to the beach! Was perfect for us. Just a note that the bunk beds are twin sized but maybe not the best fit for taller teens. Not a problem for us since we had an extra room and there’s also a queen air mattress to use. Host was super responsive and available. Great Stay!

Growing up in Boston I vacationed in southern Maine since I was young. I’ve actively acquired real estate while raising my two children as a single parent. I hope you’ll see the effort and time my tribe has attempted to share with your family
