Clean, cozy cottage. Well decorated and nothing beats the view or the privacy even tho you are only minutes to town. Beds are firm as are the pillows and there is no closet to hang clothes in - there wall hooks so bring hangers if you need to hand a dress etc. Overall a nice little cottage.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 23, 2025
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the cozy cottage, beautiful views, and peaceful setting. As you mentioned, it’s a classic Maine cottage, and each bedroom has a bureau and hooks instead of closets in the main bedroom for that authentic touch!

Perfect ocean side cottage for the three of us in our party. Space is clean, orderly, well appointed, comfortable, quiet (except for one neighbor on one night). Enjoyed all the sea birds and bald eagles. We rode bikes, kayaked, and really enjoyed local beaches and eateries.

A beautiful, quiet and peaceful spot. We loved watching the wildlife including osprey, eagles and herons. The property was modern, clean, well-maintained and tastefully appointed. Everything worked and nothing was quirky. This was our nicest New England vacation in many years!

Great location

The location of this property was perfect for my husband and I. It made local day trips to nearby towns very doable. The only thing we wish we had known prior to arriving was that we needed to bring bottled water.

Response from VrboOwner on Sep 30, 2024
Thanks so much, Jennifer! We're happy that the property worked well for you and your husband! Our recommendations for bringing in drinking water is included in your arrival details which is emailed to you. Our water is provided by a private well, so many city folks are used to town provided water, which may have a different taste then some are used to. We strive to accommodate all of our guests, and share all needed info prior to arrival. I'm so very sorry if the info was not seen by you.

The location of Salty Breeze Cottage was amazing. The views from the cottage and of course the chance to just sit and enjoy the peace of quiet. The rooms were so comfortable and everything we needed was there. We so appreciated the obvious thought put into the decorating of the cottage and how it allowed us to just relax. It is hard to explain how much this trip meant to both of us. We had a place to relax, but could easily go out for day trips in the surrounding area. This little cottage on a cove was so appreciated and will be on the list for another visit in the future.

Fantastic!

The cottage was amazing! Tranquil and quiet. We enjoyed the scull boats that passed each morning while enjoying the amazing sunrises. Close to so many places to enjoy lobster and the scenery of the Ocean. Do yourself a favor and take the short trip to Bailey Island and eat at Cooks Lobster and Ale House! Words cannot describe the food and the location at sunset. Check in was a breeze. Super clean! We would return without any hesitation!
