Oceanfront home with water views - central AC, washer/dryer & beach access

Surrounded by water, we immediately felt relaxed upon arrival. The kayaks, fire pit, and grill were all in good shape. This is a special property: somewhat rustic, cute old cabins, but close to lots of fun Maine activities. Highly recommend this for a large group of family/friends!

This is a great rental, especially for a large group! The views are amazing, the wildlife is superb, and the privacy is great! It was pretty well stocked with everything we needed and everyone in our group had a wonderful time. The trail down to the beach is quite tough. Small children or people with small mobility issues would struggle, but if you can get down there, pitch a chair and enjoy a great beach day!!! The outdoor bathroom and shower were perfect and used a lot. Plenty of outdoor seating and lights for outdoor use day/night. Having a rental close to so many grocery stores was also very helpful. We arrived 5 minutes before check in time and found every bed had been slept in without a linen change, a 3ft pile of dirty towels in the bathroom, and trash/recyclables left from the previous week. We did promptly call the 3rd party manager (Vacasa) and was told we were supposed to get notified that check in had been changed from 4 to 5:30. Never really had that happen before, and the one cleaner didn’t show until then and finished around 7:30. Everyone in our group was driving 3 hours and we were grabbing a hannaford to go on the way up so not sure how that would work. The cleaner who showed certainly did his best, but the recycling was left for us and he said he couldn’t clean the kitchen since our groceries were there. The only other side issue was a landscaping company showed up with weed wackers and riding mowers without notice.

We loved everything about our stay at Saganook! The property is quiet and peaceful with breathtaking views. We had 5 young children that enjoyed exploring the property and spent full days playing in the yard. The water was surprisingly warm and we loved taking the kayaks out around the bay. We enjoyed having enough separate spaces but also a large screen porch where we could enjoy our dinners all together. As another reviewer has mentioned, it is more rustic, so if you are looking for luxury, this might not be the best place for you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property!

The cottage is located on the water and has a beautiful view. The downstairs is lovely, has great views of the water, workable kitchen and one bedroom and bathroom. The air conditioning upstairs, where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, was not only not cooling, it was blowing out hot air which made sleeping up there very difficult. We could not get anyone in particular to address the problem. I called into a central number, which was not anywhere near Maine. They opened a ticket. I texted and got responses from an AI chat bot, which were not particularly helpful. Finally two days later someone local came to confirm there was a problem. He said it would be addressed right away and we didn't need to be there when it was being fixed. Two days later I got a text from someone asking to be let in (we were away). I told him to get a key. I never heard back from him but he did install a room air conditioner in one of the rooms, which made things a bit more tolerable but still not satisfactory. The AC issues in other room was never fixed. The internet service was horrible; our phones kept getting kicked off of it. The management via text told us to unplug the modem and plus it back in. That didn't help. On the last day, cranes and other equipment were tearing trees down on the lot next door, making a lot of noise. All in all, we enjoyed our time at the cottage DESPITE inadequate response to our issues by the management.
