Our family of seven stayed at Crosby Waterfront Cottage for a week, and we had an INCREDIBLE time! The house is somewhat dated, but that is absolutely part of it's charm - large homes like this one have been on the island for a long time, and we all felt lucky to experience some of the best of coastal Maine by staying there. It's very spacious, has a great deck with a gorgeous view, and the private beach is stunning. We felt at home right away, and it seemed as though there were always new parts of the home and property to explore.The rental company/property manager were incredibly helpful and instantly responsive any time we had a question or needed anything at all. Additionally, the house is centrally located and is within no more than a 40 minute drive of pretty much anywhere you'd want to be in the area (and only slightly more than that to Bangor - do not miss the Stephen King tour if you decide to head out that way!).I would highly recommend staying at this property, and definitely felt that it was well worth the cost. We can't wait to come back!

Quiet, beautiful setting! Very peaceful!

If you are looking for a place with the fanciest furnishings, and most up to date fixtures, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable, inviting well lived and loved home, this is it. It has a great location, may be dated, but is completely functional. Only problem we had was starving the hot water system while taking showers and washing clothes. Other than that, it was awesome! The driveway will not fit many vehicles, we were on a 15 passenger van, and opted to back in every day so we didn’t have to back out. The beach is literally right there, and was so great hearing it at night. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again!

This property was very old and out dated. 1st off the listing said it had 5 bedrooms 4 bathrooms. Bedroom 1 shower,toiket & tubBedroom 2 toilet,shower only Bedroom 3 toilet, shower only Bedroom 4 toilet, shower only.In actuality Bedroom 1 was correctBedroom 2 -4 had no bathrooms in them on the 1 st floor it was a toilet and sink. On the 2nd floor was a full bath & a toiet and sink. My guest was expecting what i saw on VRBO. The bedroom with the queen bed was inside a closet it wlas a trundle bed which was not pulled down or made up. I called the property manager to find it and the sheets for the bed. She said they're in the drawer or closet. When i did find them i explained to her that they did not match it wasn't a complete set. It appears they had been there since the place was built. She was not a good property manager the best thing about this property was the view of Frenchman Bay. The property manager was so disrespectful and condescending she made excuses for everything i was tell her about property. She has no customer service or listening skills and her apologies were not sincere. I rent through VRBO alot and never have i ever showed up to a property and it didn't have exactly what was listed on thier description for the property. I rented 2 properties in Hancock at the same time the 2nd house was exactly as listed. I was very disappointed in this property and had to apologize to my guest because they were expecting their own bathrooms inside the rooms.

Yes, I agree. This is an outdated home, as listed it is a historic family home with current pictures of every room and a full description of bedrooms and bathrooms. A bedroom does not include the number of toilets or showers, it only has room for the size of the bed because it is a bedroom. This property is listed as a 5 bedroom, 2 half bath, 2 full bathroom property. I apologized over and over that you were unhappy with the property. I am sorry you did not accept my apologies. This family home is exactly as described. It is a historic family home, and has been well loved by many many guests, and of course the family.
