Janice, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and watched the beautiful birds....Please come back, thank you for trusting Sea Maine Vacation Rentals with your stay- Wendy
Stayed for a long weekend with my family. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the stylish cottage decor. A short walk across the foot bridge to town makes it a convenient location. Two of the bedrooms are lofts which creates a feeling of open spaces but is not soundproofed. I highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cottage's stylish decor and convenient location. The proximity to town across the footbridge is certainly one of our favorite features too! We're glad the open loft spaces added to the charm of your stay, though we understand how the soundproofing might have been a factor. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

Good space with comfortable living room. But the stairs were slippery (need treads on stairs) Also there were mice droppings in kitchen. Droppings were when we checked in.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. I’m so sorry to hear about the issues you encountered — that’s definitely not the experience we want our guests to have. We’ve already scheduled a deep cleaning and pest control visit to address the droppings, and we’ll be looking into the non-slip treads to the stairs right away for safety.
I truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I hope we can welcome you back for a much smoother stay next time.
Warm regards,
Kim
Amazing house overall!
Best parts:
-quick walk to footbridge and .4 mi to BBH
-quality furnishings, appliances, furniture, rugs, decor (rare for a rental in our experience!!)
-great working AC
-quiet street with lovely front porch
-so many easy places to walk, didn’t use our car at all
-easy booking, great communication
Only negatives:
-only bathroom is upstairs
-stairs are narrow and steep
-beds are rock hard (we are ok with firm- but master bed was beyond firm, so crummy sleeping)
