The spiral staircase leads to the upper primary sleeping space with a spacious bed, closet space, and a lovely balcony with expansive views of the water. Following the spiral staircase back to the lower level; there is a half bathroom, laundry area, living room, and sitting area with another smart TV - great for family game night or a quiet reading spot. The first lower-level bedroom has a queen bed and the second lower-level bedroom has two comfortable beds, a large closet space, and a desk for folks who need to work from home or stay connected while on vacation. Leading out from the lower level is a patio with seating and a small firepit and then following the path from the patio down to the dock brings you to the water's edge.

Renai gas heaters are available to keep the home warm.
A boat could be tied to the dock but the dock sits in rock/sand at low tide. There is no mooring available.

The house was amazing! It was clean and in a perfect cove setting. We loved the porch, the views from every level, and the dock as well. Would stay here again if we are ever in the mid coast area!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, well appointed, quiet and secluded. We had some beautiful sunsets and enjoyed quite a few birds including a blue heron, ospreys and hummingbirds. We enjoyed some kayaking during high tide and we were close enough to Popham Beach to enjoy several beach days. Thank you for a great stay in mid coast Maine!

Lovely, peaceful cottage

This home is just as pictured, and it's just the right place for a quiet Fall getaway. The house is beautiful and has everything you need, and is close to so much in the midcoast. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Tranquil on the Cove

The cottage was very comfortable and in a lovely setting overlooking a quiet cove. The road was rural (dirt) and fun to walk along in a neighborhood of rustic secluded old cottages overlooking the water. This house had a lot of updates so was best of both worlds. It was easy to get into Bath and from there to many great places north along Rte 1. All in all a great stay!

Remote getaway

The house was very clean and well appointed. The bedrooms were on the lower level, which was a little unusual. The spiral staircases might be difficult to navigate for some—definitely not a disability-friendly property.

Beautiful laid back stay

Maine Haven is the perfect place for a family or friend group to book. Enough place to be together (great living room, big table for meals) and plenty of room to have some time alone. The kitchen is state of the art, the WiFi is flawless, the beds are comfortable, the shower has two jets! The only thing some may find a bit odd is there are no curtains or blinds in the gorgeous master bedroom, so you are up with the sun, and if you’re afraid of peeping toms, you may want to take the other rooms. We will be back!

Sad Ending

This is a beautiful home in a lovely area of Maine. Our second time staying here and again we had a great time. Unfortunately we forgot to pack an item that was left downstairs. I contacted Vacasa who followed up with the local team and we were told the item was never found. I find that excuse pathetic given the cleaning fees charged. The cleaning team should have found and returned the item. If they didn't find the item, then how well did they clean the house before the next renter? While it's our fault for not packing it, my advice for future renters is to double check the property again before you leave. If you forget something, like we did, you'll never see it again.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2024
Thank you for your review, David. We are glad to know that you had a great time with us. We are saddened to know about your item that was suspected left at home. Our local housekeeping team searched the home for the item but it was not found at the home. We know how important the item on you and surely will make an effort to send it back to you if it is found. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future!

Beautiful and very comfortable home in a lovely location! A few need to know points..

The location, amenities, and comfort were paramount! The view is spectacular!!A place also lived in by the owners, so no skimping on furniture and amenities. Even the layout of the furniture was optimal, and seating and beds all especially comfortable. Very important to be aware of two things: 1) as the floors are connected by spiral staircases there is very little privacy, apart from the small bedrooms on the lower floor. People and noise from the lower floor sitting room could be heard in the upper sitting room. Similarly the main bedroom (accurately described as a loft) was open to any sound from the upper sitting room/kitchen/ dining area. It worked out fine for the three of us (a couple and our daughter), but be sure it will work for you. 2) the magnificent windows in the master bedroom allow the room to heat up considerably during the day. The temperature dropped off at night enough that it was comfortable for sleeping (too warm for naps, on some days). The weather cooperated with us with days in the 70's, but if it was warmer it would've been a problem. I expect the shoulder season would be safer, and perfect (we were there at the end of August). But given all that it was a perfect place!

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, amenities, and comfort of the home, as well as the spectacular views. It’s great to know that the furniture and layout contributed to your overall experience. We appreciate your insights regarding the privacy and sound levels due to the spiral staircases and open layout. Your feedback is valuable for future guests to consider, and we will ensure that this information is clearly communicated in our listings. Additionally, we’re glad you found the temperature in the master bedroom manageable, but we understand how the large windows can impact warmth during the day. Your suggestion about visiting during the shoulder season is a great tip for future guests. Thank you once again for your thoughtful review. We hope to welcome you back for another perfect stay in the future!

Quiet getaway by the water

We had a great time. The house was clean and the pictures accurately portray the house and property. We loved the view and the quiet peaceful location. We kayaked almost every day and the dock was very easy to get in and out. Water pressure in the bathrooms was good and the bed was comfortable. There is a spiral staircase that connects the three floors so that could be a problem if you have mobility issues and the loft can get warm on hot days, but cools down at night with the sea breeze.
