The property was beautiful, well decorated. and equipped with everything one would need for a great vacation, from a new gas barbecue outside to a comfortable sofa and a guitar inside. It’s set on a hill with a view of the bay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were beautifully decorated, and there was plenty of space for the 5 of us(2 kids and 3 adults). Check in and out were a breeze, and the surrounding area is lovely. Heidi, our host, was easy to communicate with and very welcoming. This was a great choice for this leg of our travels! Thank you!

Heidi’s home was the perfect home base for a relaxing midcoast Maine vacation. Day trips to surrounding towns were easy from this location. The beds were comfortable, the seating in the living and dining room ample for our group of 6, and the kitchen stocked with enough supplies to make simple breakfasts and dinners possible. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the beach and wharf nearby.

We had a wonderful stay! Very clean and comfortable cottage. (The bed was unusually comfy for rental.) Two of my favorite amenities were awaiting us when we arrived: Fresh cut flowers and coffee! Heidi (the host) was extremely responsive and lovely to deal with.

Terrific location, spacious cottage

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in Bayside, ME with our famiily of four. The cottage is in a great central location and within driving distance to Camden, Befast, Boothbay and Bar Harbor. The village of Bayside also has a great beach and playground for kids. The cottage is quite spacious with 3 bedrooms and was impeccably clean. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Nice quiet area

The house is on a very quiet street facing the water. It is away from the busy Camden area but not too far. The amenities were very good, and they were responsive to our one minor request. My only complaint was that the shower door downstairs is VERY noisy. I would stay here again.

Perfect Family Christmas Stay

This was a perfect, toasty warm, place for family to stay over the Christmas holiday. The open floor plan on the first floor is wonderful for communicating. The one year old enjoyed walking around this area. We enjoyed the big dinning table for meals, board games, and wrapping gifts. The beds were very comfortable. Two of the bedrooms have a water view in winter! The property managers are exceptionally attentive. They went above and beyond coming first thing in the morning to shovel snow!

Excellent vacation stay!

The house is excellent for a vacation stay! So clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is great, friendly people and its great for bike riding or running. There are restaurants just up the road but the kitchen is a dream if you cook your own meals. One note for anyone with mobility issues: there are 3 stairs that have no railing so if you have a need for a railing, those 3 steps are tricky but there is a wall to help your balance. Overall this is a great house and you won’t regret it for a fun relax vacation!

Exceptional experience!

Heidi and Bill have put a lot of care and love into their cottage. We were enchanted from the moment we walked in. It was spotlessly clean, spacious, well furnished and equipped. The beds were comfortable. We slept like babies. The hosts were very organised and gave us all the information we needed. At all times we felt that we could communicate with our hosts if we needed to. Of course, everything was so well planned that we didn't need to communicate with them except to thank them for all the little touches that made our family trip very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks again Heidi and Bill.

Very comfortable for all 4 of us

Bayside is wonderful in the fall/winter season - very quiet, lovely views, nice walks on a variety of roads, interesting houses to look at. Our cottage was well situated, warm, comfortable beds, easy to use kitchen, 2 well-equipped bathrooms, quiet neighborhood. A small drawback was the lack of reading lamps in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, for those who like to read themselves to sleep. The Rinnai heater kept the downstairs quite warm and, as long as doors were open upstairs, the bedrooms were adequately warm. Washer, dryer and dishwasher were nice to have. We did not use the TV's - every room had one. Wi-Fi worked fine. The house was clean and ready for us.

Perfect execution of a vacation rental

I would use Vrbo more often (over hotels) if rentals were as well executed as this property. It was a perfect blend of meeting all needs and expectations and adding the little touches—everything you need without the clutter of too much. Bonus: all doors and windows were screened, so we always left them open. Flowers and automated artificial gas lanterns were a nice touch. The location is in a quiet bayside enclave hidden from the nearby, more bustling coastal towns. The neighboring seaside cottages and larger homes are obviously families that have been coming for years, and there is a strong sense of community. There is a lovely "village" center where the pier, beach, "yacht club," and park are. A community center that programs a couple of weekly events is nearby. We saw a touring magician and collector's market there and mingled with seemingly the whole town. It's an easy walk to all of the above. If you want restaurants, a supermarket, or shopping, you head out of the enclave and drive along Route 1 or visit neighboring Belfast. We also explored as far south as Rockland (Lobster Festival) and Camden.

Its a nice house in good neighborhood

We liked the house and its location/ neighborhood overall. Beach is right across the road.Owner was nice and very responsive. We reached late in night and was not able to locate the house as google maps and given directions was not correct. But we managed to find it at the end using mailbox numbers. Looked like house has been upgraded recently and it had everything which we needed but it have some room for improvements. House needs cleaning as it was very dusty and had hairs everywhere including rooms and bathrooms. We had to clean closets to keep our stuff. There is Ac outside in upstair hallway and you have to keep room doors open for air, but it was not a deal breaker as owner provided fans in all room. Clean place is our priority so that was a little disappointing but overall we had a nice stay.
