This house was everything we could have asked for. Location is ideal: very private, gorgeous views, but also there's a grocery store 5 minutes away.Everything in the house was high quality: sheets and towels, curtains, dressers, etc. Walking in it felt like everything was very clean and in great shape.We got quick responses from the host when things went wrong, and they were dealt with immediately. Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

This is the best place we have ever stayed in on the coast of Maine. It was cozy, secluded and had the best view to wake up to every morning. Everything we may have needed was provided. We loved it!

Amazing property!!

Aquahela is the perfect cottage on the coast of Maine! The views are amazing and the house is well equipped with everything you could need. The location couldn’t be better…private yet close to the lighthouse, grocery store, lobster pounds & restaurants. We had a hard time leaving the property during our stay because we enjoyed watching the water, the tides, the birds…and collecting special treasures on the beach. So restful and so much fun…we will definitely be repeat visitors.

Heaven on earth

This is the fourth time we have stayed at this cottage. If you are like my husband and me and enjoy the sound of waves, the ocean breezes and peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It is always immaculate and everything you could ever need is provided. I love to cook and the kitchen is user-friendly and is well-equipped. If you are looking for a location where the stress of every day life just melts away, this is the place for you!

Wonderful property!

We enjoyed ourselves so much in May we came back for a second stay this year! Wonderful property! Great location on the bay. Close to the lighthouse, restaurants, and market…but quiet and private. Has all the amenities and extras one could need. Owner/host easy to communicate with. The high point of our stay were the three eagles that fished out front almost daily. It was thrilling to see them so close. We will certainly be back!!

Beautiful location, really enjoyed the stay. The stairs are a challenge especially with no landing at the top. Didn't receive any notification about check-in and I got no answer when I called but when I checked the door was unlocked and keys were on the table. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped.

Perfect Family Vacation

Wow!! This was by far the best first Maine vacation we could have ever asked for. The cottage was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed for a week away. Our 6-year-old daughter loved the loft bedroom. And we all loved the private beach every morning and every night. Breakfasts on the deck overlooking the water were such a great way to start the day. Thank you for sharing your home with us while we enjoyed a slice of Maine for the week! We really couldn’t have had a better experience!!
