The host was excellent, house and view were gorgeous, and the rental was very well stocked with the little things including spices and shampoo. Will likely go again at some point.
Perfect home and location for a fabulous vacation! Our third year visiting maine and we will be back! We saw whales, seals, bald eagles and so many beautiful birds from the deck enjoying coffee or wine.
It was hard to leave this home! The view from the deck were stunning. Every morning and evening were spent out there watching the water. The home had everything we needed. The kids loved the ping pong table. Thanks for sharing your home!
THE HOUSE WAS GREAT AND THE VIEW WAS SO RELAXING FROM THE DECK, LISTENING TO THE OCEAN. I WISH THE WEATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER , DUE TO ALL THE RAIN WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO TO MAJOR ACTIVIES THAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO. HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL
Absolutely loved our trip!! This was our first trip to Maine and we weren't disappointed! Starting with this lovely house with spectacular views from both inside and outside!! It was great relaxing on the deck watching the seals, eagles, porpoises, and whales everyday!! Along with watching the ferry run between Deer Island and Campbello Island daily. We had a great time exploring Eastport and the surrounding area! The house is well furnished and felt like home! The ping pong table was a great addition that was also enjoyed daily! We will definitely be back!!!!
Where to begin. Gorgeous house, clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need in this special place. Your own nature excursion from the deck. We had daily sightings of whales, eagles and seals, all in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee in your hand. Lots of information on local attractions and the best time to go. The views….300 degree panoramic view of the Canadian Maritime. Best girls week ever! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
This was our second time at this rental. It is a beautiful house with an amazing view from the deck and also from many rooms of the house! We had a fantastic stay and hope to return!
Can’t say enough positive things about this home and location- while this is probably not the best spot for those who want nightlife or fine dining, if you love nature, peace & quiet and LOTS of steamed lobster- this is your spot! Deb was a pleasure to work with & an incredibly helpful host! House is well-equipped, beds are super comfortable, and the view is an absolute show-stopper! A+!
We had never been to Maine before and staying in Eastport was the perfect experience.
Deb was ever so helpful in suggestions on things-to-do that would accommodate my 83-year-old mother.
The house was lovely, everything we needed was there.
IGA was very well stocked.
Townsfolks are super friendly and happy to tell you about local history and places to visit.
Things I recommend are:
-go to Dastardly Dick's for coffee. Great way to meet and chat with locals.
-WaCo Diner has great food and friendly service
-Walk to downdown and enjoy the shops, you really do not have to drive around there much.
-Visit Fisherman's Wharf in Lubec, if you go out to see the West Quaddy Lighthouse. Great lunch
-In Canada, the Kingsbrae Gardens are perfect for a date night or anniversary luncheon or dinner.
we will be back again
This property is amazing. The description was even more than described. Well stocked, clean, easy access. Very relaxing to watch the water and all the activities seals, dolphins, eagles and gulls, ships, ferries. Eastport the city is a slow paced environment in October. If you are looking for relaxation and to get away from the hustle and bustle this is the spot for you. Hiking opportunities and great spot to collect sea glass in the area. Enjoyed our vacation.
What a perfect spot! Loved Eastport & your home. The views from inside & out were amazing — over to Canada and nearby watching all the shore birds, porpoises, & whales near the rocks. Loved tracking the Deer Island Ferry going back & forth by different routes depending on the tides. The sunrise & sunset colors were lovely. We did all of your “Favorite Things To Do” and more. We had a great time! Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home. You have the best travel information of any place we’ve ever rented! So helpful. Thanks again.
The house was beautiful, clean, well stocked with everything you would need. The view was spectacular. Deb was wonderful to work with. They had so many recommendations, maps, directions, and restaurant information, you never had to ask anything about the area. I would stay here again anytime! Absolutely the best week I have had.
The view is amazing. I think this sentence will sum it up nicely.
Deer in the back yard, whales, porpoises, seals and eagles in the front yard. The "Old Sow" was fun to watch every day.
This property has the WOW factor, exactly as described and then some! You don’t ever need to leave the deck but if you do there are spectacular views from every room in the house. It is very clean and well appointed and worth every dime. We were sad to leave.
Exceeded our expectations. We and the remnants of hurricane Ida arrived at the same time. The weather didn’t dampen our spirits. The house withstood the storm without notice. The deck and sunroom were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked. Fresh live lobster and the best crabmeat in Maine are minutes away. The people of Eastport were wonderful and such an easier pace than Bar Harbor. The road less traveled.
We had the most wonderful week here. It is by far the nicest place we have stayed in Maine. Trust when I say you will not want to leave that deck. We were up by 5 every day willingly to greet the sun and experience the nature, wildlife and peaceful mornings. We couldn’t wait to come back at the end of the day for more. What an amazing place and experience. The owner has thought of absolutely everything you might need and provided it. The home is adorably renovated and extremely comfortable. We would love to come back!!!
We’ve been renting Maine cottages for the past 12 years and this was the best of them all. The property is in fantastic condition with ocean views that can’t be beat. Deb, the owner, was very responsive to all our questions. The house was incredibly clean upon our arrival and was well stocked with everything we needed. Really appreciate that the owner provides high quality items, ranging from towels to dishes. Our stay was perfect and we hated to leave. Thanks Deb!
What an amazing house and location! Everything was just beautiful and every detail perfect. My husband and I stayed four nights and never wanted to leave. My sister and two cousins stayed one night and were just as mesmerized. Hands down the best place I have stayed. Thank you so very much for a wonderful mini vacation!
Everything for our stay was perfect! The accommodations were well thought out, with every detail for guest comfort and enjoyment considered. Views are picturesque and mesmerizing. Hiking and photography were well satisfied pursuits. Townspeople were very friendly. Time quite relaxing. Being well traveled, this charming place leaped to the top of our favorites. A special find.
