Really like this stay. You are not near the water you are over the water. Great water views and there is a dock and kayaks for your use. The unit is quite large and comfortable.
This rental was perfect for my husband and I to stay in while visiting family in the area. The cabin itself had everything we needed, including a large and very comfortable bed! Proximity to Cooks Corner made picking up groceries or take-out so easy. The check-in process was simple, and communication with the host was great. I accidentally left my kindle behind, and they were kind enough to reach out and mail it to me! Our only wish was that parking was more plentiful so that our family could have more easily come to see us on site.
The rental is well stocked with all you'd need, and the water/sunrise views are hard to beat.
The Owners are very friendly and expect their guests to enjoy their stay. They are very quick to answer any questions you may have.
We would definitely stay again!
This was our first VRBO stay. Hurricane Debbie came through and knocked out the internet along with a couple of other issues
Yue Chan was so helpful with anything that we needed. I would definitely to stay again. We also loved the 2 kyack
This unique property features three walls of windows for enjoying the beauty of the water, sky, trees around you.
Relax inside or out while watching the birds and boaters.
Everything you need is inside, including a fully furnished kitchen and a bathroom with generous samples of anything you might have forgotten. Our time here was very relaxing and the view was hard to leave.
The property was as advertised. The boat house was clean and served as the perfect home base for our stay in Maine. The host left coffee and snacks, kayaks and life jackets for our use. The host also checked in with us defying our stay to ensure we had everything we needed,
This is a very nice space with extremely thoughtful details by the owner. It is as advertised. One should be aware that the parking situation is very tight (only room for one car and 20 point maneuver to back out of it when spaces next to you are filled up) and that there are quite a few stairs down into the boathouse without a railing to use. I personally would not go swimming as it is tucked into a corner of a bay and there are so many ducks here - lovely to watch, not to swim with as quite shallow, lots of mud flats during low tide. The water pressure is quite low (keep in mind we are in a drought) but was hard to get soap out of long hair. It would have been nice to have a note left that the freezer in the fridge was not working as when I went to leave my ice packs were not frozen. There was a stand alone freezer which I thought odd, but ignored as why use it? Now I know why it was there! Some of the main windows you look through at the beautiful bay/inlet are getting somewhat old with that weird film that obscures the view between the panes. It was remarkably quiet even though right off the road. Very convenient location for getting both into Brunswick and towards islands.
Lovely renovated boat house. I will say that if you have mobility issues, this is not the home for you. The windows in the house look out onto the water and I loved pulling the blinds up. Coffee and cream was provided. Linens and blankets were fresh and smelled great.
The issue is the neighboring property and the wifi. You have to pull into a parking space in an apartment unit with some pretty wild characters. Not the owners fault. The wifi was non-existent though. I planned to get some work done on vacation and I just couldn't get a signal. This may not be an issue for others who do not need a connection during vacation.
Good communication other than the wifi stuff...beautiful water views.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay and especially enjoyed the incredible view and access to the water. (They have paddles and life jackets for the kayaks) We spent hours both nights on the dock and loved getting to take the kayaks out. The living space had everything we needed with lots of natural light from the wrap around windows with view of the water from all sides!! We forgot to bring coffee and they ended up having some in the kitchen already! The boat house is attached to another house which has a porch adjacent to the dock and a few apartments behind it, but it still felt peaceful to us being in the house and on the dock. the dock is attached directly to the boat house! We absolutely loved staying here and wish we had planned to stay a bit longer. We definitely recommend and hope to stay here again!
Location was beautiful. Enjoyed the dock everyday. If you are looking to be on the water you will enjoy this rental. Very quiet location. Lots of ducks and birds to enjoy. We saw a seal one morning. Close to stores.
Beautiful views. The children (11 and 13) loved using the kayaks. A huge spacious room with many amenities and very clean. The steps leading down to the door might be a challenge for someone with limited mobility.
It was very cool to stay over the water and to be able to walk down and sit out on the deck and the floating deck. The property is located on a very busy road and it is very easy to drive by the property. The parking is tight. Otherwise lovely stay.

Great place to relax and watch the seagulls and heron. Quiet even though there is a building in back of the boathouse that is a rental. General store and small restaurant just down the road. The king size bed was very comfortable. The boathouse has everything you need.
Very clean, host has all that is needed for a comfortable stay. The view and morning sunrise was beautiful. The fact that it was pet friendly was awesome. Sitting on the deck watching the wildlife was so relaxing. Ease of access to Islands and main Thruways was a bonus. I was abit suprised when I pulled in and saw a motel like establishment. The pictures of the boathouse were accurate, not surrounding 4 motel like rooms.
We so enjoyed staying in the open, light filled Boathouse. The highlight was the nightly visit to our dock by the Great Blue heron, who enjoyed fishing off the dock. Also loved watching the terns, egret, and bald eagles!
I don’t think it’s possible for me to express how amazing of an experience I had staying at Anna’s place. The property itself was spacious and clean. It has everything you could possibly need for cooking, bathing, and lounging. They provided coffee, snacks, and toiletries.The views are absolutely incredible. We saw a lobster boat picking up traps in the morning and a seal on our kayak. In addition to the amazing property, these hosts are just good people that truly care about the people staying at their property. Anna was extremely responsive and went out of her way to help us out in a tough situation. I can’t recommend staying here more. Thank you!!
Great communication, quite place, would stay again
Great place to stay. In a very quiet area, with beautiful views of the cove. Next to some delapidated apartments with boarded up windows, which threw me off a bit, but the place itself was nice and other homes next to it and in the area were also nice and well maintained, so not a bad area overall.
The host was great to communicate with and very responsive with a problem I had and was able to remedy myself. I greatly appreciate that.
Very close to multiple grocery stores and shopping for anything you may need.
