Lovely setting on the bay.
Great house on a quiet bay…lots of eagles, osprey, cormorants, and even a seal. Used the kayaks for a nice paddle around the area. Clean, comfortable house in a nice area. Lots of hiking nearby.

Beautiful view
My son, his partner, my 2 dogs had a wonderful time. We swam and kayaked as well as enjoyed making one of the house puzzles. The property has 2 bedrooms with 2 queen beds - the description states 1 bedroom which is incorrect.

Ok property
Property so-so, neighborhood isn’t desirable, junky and unkept. The home itself was clean….although pots/pans, eating utensils was old, stained or in bad shape. Otherwise the water view is amazing.

Campsite bungalow
We take our annual family trip to Maine and this listing seemed good since it was dock access,but the ad was not informative, this bungalow is in a campsite style with other bungalow, we had plumbing issues on the first night,no water pressure,and we had to manually remove waste materials. I notified owner husband and Mr.Mike was very compassionate, but ultimate decisions would fall on the wife for any refund. Well she understood the issues and at first refused to refund the 5 days,but at the end she decided to make the right decisions and comply to dissatisfied clients. Overall if you like the campsite bungalow style ,you decide but the ad was not accurate,it seemed it was a single private home.

Amazing location
The cottage was better than description or the pictures and must bee seen to appreciateit. I must have looked at pictures and reviews for a week before booking, yet when we arrived we were simply shocked at the view and the equaly great cottage. Amazing sunrises and night-time star viewing. The hosts do a great job making sure everything you could need is available.

Fantastic
Such a great place. Beautiful view, quiet, very clean, loved the kayaks. You could nit pick some minor things but there’s so much positive it’s not worth doing that. My only real complaint would be the neighbor we got in another cabin on day 4. They decided to tie up their two large dogs outside starting early in the morning. These dogs would bark at everything and kind of ruined the setting… and sleep. Outside of that this place was worth every penny.

Home on the Water
The location of the home was beautiful. We were just feet from the water and property had a dock and kayaks. We didn't have much time to enjoy it as we had only planned an overnight stay. We hadn't heard from the owners with the entry code info so we reached out a couple hours before check-in time. (Possibly they would have sent it before check-time so I need to give them the benefit of the doubt, but typically when we stay at a VRBO we get the info the day before or morning of our stay.) When we arrived at the home, every window was open and the house was freezing inside (51 degrees). It was a windy, chilly day. We couldn't get the gas fireplace to start so I messaged the owner to inquire how to get the fireplace or some other heat source going, but never heard back. We were able to warm the bedrooms with space heaters so we slept fairly comfortably with the bedroom doors closed. The next morning I messaged the owner again with a question about the trash and also let them know we survived the night in the freezing house. They did not acknowledge the issue we had with the heat, just wished us safe travels. We did stay only one night, and we arrived pretty late, so I get that the owners probably weren't that concerned about issues/comfort for us, but the final cost was about $475, so I would have liked to have heard back on the temperature issue. Aside from communication/responsiveness, it's a beautiful location and probably would have been a fun place to spend a few days.
