Perfect little house on the beach

Perfect little house right on the beach. The house is stocked with everything you'll need. The host made sure we knew she was available if we had any questions. The sunrise from the bedroom window alone is worth the stay!

Lovely space right on the water

We loved the space! It was exactly as listed. We ended up not using the smaller space because there was no AC and the windows don't open but we enjoyed the main house. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into the amenities and we found it well stocked.

This is a house filled with character and plenty to keep you busy on rainy days. The kitchen was great with every kind of dish or pan you’d ever need. They had spices galore which was very helpful. There were plenty of ideas for visiting the area and plenty to do if it rained -games and books! The location was wonderful with a beach a few steps away. We watched a super moon rise one night and I took photos of a sunrise that was an amazing experience. The only things that were a bit tricky were the stairs upstairs and the basement was a bit dark and basement like. It was where the washer and dryer were but both worked well.
1st morning sunrise.
Dock st sunrise which was available for our use.
Flowers were a nice addition

Perfection

This little cottage is perfect for summer relaxation. The beds were comfortable and there is lots do to keep you entertained. It’s also centrally located so it was ideal home base for our Portland and sailing adventures.The owner, Val, was a delight. She communicated quickly and effectively y…and gave us a whoopie pie welcome treat. I’d stay here again.

Perfect Maine getaway!

We had the best time during our stay. We loved the location as a jumping off point to easily get into Portland and up the coast, and then we came home in the afternoon to enjoy the beach and dinner on the deck looking out at the ocean. We would love to stay here again... for longer next time!
