Cottage on the Maine coast with stunning views and 245 ft of sandy waterfront

the house was perfect for us. clean rooms, kitchen well-equipped, close to stores and restaurants. the house was nestled in pines with water on either side. sunrises were exquisite. hope we can go back next year!

What a perfect cozy cottage tucked away. To wake up and be so close to the water was amazing. Kids loved the beach and rock climbing. House was so cozy and well stocked. Thank you Sue! We will be back.

Super cozy cottage, very private, quiet with great views. Exactly what we wanted. Added bonus was the proximity to McLooms Lobster shack for the best lobster roll we tasted in all of Maine. We are already talking about viaiting again next year!

The cottage is lovely! We live in Maine, and we were looking for a safe, quiet waterfront spot to chill and celebrate my birthday. The cottage was very clean, with comfy bedding, a little fireplace, plenty of towels, and all the kitchen essentials. The floors were still wet when we arrived; I was hoping there would be some time between cleaning or prior occupants for the place to air out but I didn't inquire as to what COVID protocols were being met, so that's on me. Nonetheless, it was spotless and cleaned very thoroughly, with the exception of dog hairs on the rug in the master bedroom. (I found an old vacuum in the place and took care of it as best I could, but with our allergies it was kind of a bummer to have to vacuum upon arrival). I texted the owner about it, and she immediately replied via phone call, and assured me that her cleaner had addressed the room (but I still think the vacuuming in there was overlooked). Ultimately that was a minor detail. We really enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of waves lapping on the shore, and seeing the lobstermen work. There's also a simple outdoor shower (with hot water!) that was nice to use after snorkeling, swimming and paddleboarding. Some unexpected things: there was a man who walked his dog on the "private beach", who kind of creeped us out, as he was around every day for the first few days until I spoke with him and asked him to respect our privacy. The cottage is on a private road, and all beaches are technically public below the high tide mark, but he was sitting on the Adirondack chairs above the high tide line, which belong to the cottage. I also saw him staring at the cottage when he walked by, which was a little strange. The most concerning event was when this man came by well after dark with his dog (without a light) and startled us. To her credit, the owner was incredibly responsive and understanding about our concern regarding this, and did what she could to make us feel safe. We didn't see him again after that. On our last day, we were woken by a man on a riding lawnmower trimming the grass, but that was brief. Overall, I would recommend this place, and aside from the creeper - who hopefully got the message - and the lawnmowing noise intrusion, it is fairly private and serene. If you're looking for a quaint, simple Maine cottage, go for it!
