Secluded & Tranquil, Newly Renovated Waterfront Home.

Home was in like new condiition and fully equipped. Enjoyed the rise and fall of the tide and the many deer. Visited several lighthouses. Took frequent walks. Ate good food at Maxwells and the Irish Pub in Bath and the Osprey in Georgetown. Golfed in Bath, Brunswick and Rockland.

Our host, Sandy, was most accommodating and helpful.

After our two weeks here we highly recommend this home.

We stayed in this wonderful home, located in the small town of Georgetown Maine. We really enjoyed our time in the house, which was well equipped allowing us to cook breakfast lunch and dinner on a few days! We also enjoyed being able to access amazing seafood, the Five Island Lobster house was close by and very nice, and a real Maine experience. We were provided with a pass for Reid State park, which is a stunning place that we were excited to visit, the ocean was a little cold and the waves very strong for kids under 10, so we used the pas to give us access to some of the inland state parks with lakes, much warmer!!

We travelled to some of the beautiful towns up and down the coast, Georgetown and this home being ideally suited for doing this.

The only reason we may not return is to visit another part of the USA!

Second trip to Birch Island for us and we truly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Guaranteed wildlife sightings and not a peep except for the birds! We looked forward to visiting Reid State Park, walking on the beach there and hoping we would catch sights of the deer when we returned.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that we could send and receive text messages via Verizon Wireless even though our phones indicated "no service", and calls could not be placed. If you are a Verizon Wireless customer staying at Birch Island, we recommend setting your phone on the green cabinet where the land line is ~ that is where we consistently received text messages (unless of course, you don't want to be disturbed).

Still a warm, cozy place with beautiful ocean views and close to both, nature and town.

We will gladly return, once visiting Georgetown again.

I have stayed here twice durng the winter. It has a beautiful view of the bay, the tides & the waterfowl through the wall of windows. It is simply and cleverly set up with high ceilings and an open floor plan to maximize the feeling of space in this efficient home. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had.

This lovely home is ideal for a quiet get away, its bigger then it appears in the photos. The downstairs of the house is like a small apartment including a kitchen area, only thing missing is a microwave or frig. My teenage daughter and her friend were delighted to have the bottom floor to themselves and we rarely even heard them. The house sits on the cove which is a walk down to the dock, my husband spent alot of time on the water in his Kayak and we rented a canoe nearby for the week, so we enjoyed that as well. The water is very calm, not alot of other boaters. The fishing is amazing, my husband caught two huge fish and if you watch carefully you will see a ton of fish jumping out of the water. We have family about 20 mins away and so we had them over several times and enjoyed lobster on the screened in porch.

Everything cant be perfect and sorry that I have to complain a bit...the owners require you to compost your left over food, while my husband loved the idea and we certainly followed the rules I can see some vacationers not want to be bothered with that. Also the queen bed in the master bedroom had a horribly hard mattress which made sleeping very difficult all week for my husband and I.
