A truly lovely home ! Jim and Susie were more than gracious with home made blueberry jam and muffins to greet us and Jim’s lobsters and oysters to feast on! The separate bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us as we travelled with another couple. The location in the Midcoast area was perfect for getting to the many sights in the area. We highly recommend a stay here!

Jim and Susie were the best hosts! The setting is perfect and the place was awesome. Our favorite thing was sitting on the floating dock at night watching the fish from Jim's under dock light, listening to the seals swim and snort, and seeing the stars. We have been vacationing on the Maine coast for close to 40 years and have never stayed in the same place twice. But we intend to come back to Thyme and Tide again!

The property is beautiful - both the space and the surroundings were lovely, well cared-for, and very clean. The hosts live next door and are friendly and readily available to answer questions. The Wi-Fi worked well for our work needs and Jim's lobsters are excellent! The location is convenient to both outdoor and in-town activities. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful week at Jim and Susie's beautiful guest home. From the seamless check in to check out, we had a perfect stay. We had everything we needed (including fabulous weather), and took full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy Jim's fresh oysters, lobsters and Susie's amazing blueberry muffins. We'd love to return in the future!

Idyllic Beauty and Solitude

This property is exceptionally designed and maintained. The accommodations were beautifully appointed; the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The hosts were so helpful, friendly and welcoming.We felt as if we were visiting friends! One suggestion: a TV channel guide would be helpful. Thank you so much for providing this gorgeous home.

Gorgeous property-gracious hosts

Absolutely loved our 4 night stay at Butter Point! Can't say enough about how welcoming and helpful Jim and Susie are. Once we completed our booking, Jim sent us wonderful tips and recommendations for the area. Greatly appreciated those detailed notes. The home is cozy with lovely views all around. We enjoyed fall but are certain all seasons are special.

Peace on Earth

Thyme and Tide was outstanding and was like having your own little world on the ocean. Photos do not do it justice! Beautiful Gardens were impeccably maintained and the house was immaculate and very well appointed with everything one would need. Set in a very quiet location, it is still accessible to many of the regions great places. The owners were great hosts and ready to provide privacy or answer any questions we had.

Little piece of heaven.

This was the most amazing house that we’ve ever stayed in. It was so comfortable and homey with a picture perfect view. Great attention was paid to every detail. The hosts were truly wonderful and had so many perfect suggestions of where to eat and things to do. It’s a perfect place for natural beauty and relaxation and comfort. It has it all. We truly loved every minute here. Thank you again for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

A Perfect Getaway!

Jim and Susie’s property and communication could not have been better. The home had everything we needed and much more. The views are spectacular! The accommodations are warm and cozy. They provide so many extra touches that make you feel you are royalty. We decided to spend most of our time just relaxing rather than explore the area. We definitely plan to return next year! Thank you both for being such great hosts!

A little slice of heaven

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Thyme and Tide guest house. Jim and Susie were such amazing hosts and the house was everything the pictures and description said and more. We had the perfect place to relax on the days we just wanted to hang out at the house and float in the tubes or go for a quick kayak ride - and the perfect launch point for some other adventures through Maine. I borrowed the review title from a comment in their guestbook that I felt was just the perfect way to describe the guest house. We truly didn't want to leave.

A Slice of Heaven in Maine

We had a beautiful relaxing stay at Jim and Suzie's place. The house is well equipped, and so was the kitchen. The property is beautiful, located right on the water. The nights are spectacular for star gazing. Jim and Susie are gracious hosts. Susie welcomes you with her delicious blueberry muffins, Jim gave us suggestions of local places to visit which were spot on, and cooked the lobster for us. We found the house location perfect. Nestled in a quiet location, but not far from other areas we wanted to explore. I highly recommend this place.

A week in heaven

If you are looking for peace and quiet with a view of the water, look no further! We were greeted by Jim and Susie upon our arrival, and Susie's fresh baked blueberry muffins were waiting for us in the kitchen. Our week here was incredible! We saw seals, eagles, and herons all within hours of arrival. We spent many hours on the float enjoying the scenery and fishing. The lobster was delicious! The house is stocked with everything you need. Jim and Susie's knowledge of the area and hospitality are top notch!

Maine serenity

This was one of the best properties we have stayed in. The property is very secluded but close to all of the places we wanted to explore. It is definitely for those who do not want to be in the heavy traffic areas. We were able to see seals, eagles and other wildlife without ever leaving. The owners live on the property next to the rental. They were super friendly and helpful with suggestions for our first trip to Maine. We will definitely be back. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

Amazing Property

If Thyme and Tide and/or Jim and Susie don't have what you're looking for, you don't need it! This home is absolutely gorgeous with comfy beds, great pillows, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of room to spread out and relax. And then....there are the views! Morning coffee or afternoon cocktails on the deck or the dock make for perfect beginnings and endings. Jim and Susie greeted us to show us around the house and welcomed us with fresh blueberry muffins. The quiet at night is something we could get used to. The starry skies viewed from the dock are spectacular. We had planned on eating out several times, but with fresh lobster from the bay and beautiful views from the house while dining convinced us to eat in! In addition to having a great vacation, we also feel as though we've made new friends in Jim and Susie (and the other family members we met along the way).

Another Amazing Vacation

This is the only VRBO property that is actually way better than it appears in the photos. (and it looks great in the photos) It was a fantastic two weeks at Thyme and Tide. Jim and Susie are amazing property owners and went way above and beyond what would be expected. The house is meticulously clean and is stocked with everything we could possibly want or need on a vacation. The towels and sheets were high quality. There was plenty of cookware to prepare meals when we chose to. The fresh lobsters (yes, we had them 4 times) were delicious. Susie's blueberry delicacies truly hit the spot. The fire pit under the stars made for several wonderful evenings. Sitting on the dock to read in the sunshine and cool breeze was just what the doctor ordered. The house is located just about 30-40 minutes from golf, great restaurants, and sailing excursions in Damariscotta, Rockland and Camden. I could go on and on, but I'll run out of space. Thank you Jim and Susie for another great stay. I highly recommend your home to anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable stay.

Extraordinary!

Before we even arrived at Thyme & Tide, the communication with owners Jim & Susie was outstanding. Jim provided me with a list of things to do, places to go, food options in the area, etc. Even though Jim & Susie weren't home at the time we arrived, check in instructions were spot on. As soon as we entered the residence we knew we made the right choice, no doubt! It was obvious the pictures on line didn't do it justice. For those of you that put a heavy emphasis on cleanliness, you've found your place! If you like quiet relaxation, you're in for a treat. The water view from both upper and lower decks was fantastic, and if you want to get closer, just walk down to their dock. There's plenty to see and do in the area, great micro-breweries, quaint villages to explore, places to eat on the water, think lobster. Jim and Susie were the perfect hosts. Susie brought us fresh homemade scones, and Jim offered to cook our lobster for us one night, he even broke them down for us! Magical! Just another way to describe our experience while staying at Thyme & Tide.

This is one of the few properties we have ever stayed in that the pictures just didn’t do it justice! What an amazing experience! Book this house immediately. Hosts were amazing. It is a bit off the “beaten path” as they say- so if that’s what you are looking for- look no further! I think this might be what Heaven is like. Everyone in my family loved it!

I don't know where to begin! We had an amazing time in Maine and staying at this location made it even better. It's hard to believe that Jim and Susie share this gem. It is absolutely beautiful. The home as well as the surrounding grounds are impeccably designed and manicured. Jim and Susie are the most gracious hosts. Thank you!
