Our stay at Coveshead was nothing short of perfect. It’s a nice central location along the coast of Maine which is convenient for exploring. The house is very well appointed and beautifully decorated. It was exactly what we were looking for. Very comfortable and enjoyable.

This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The first day we were there we found that there was no hot water. We texted the property managers and they were very quick to respond. The water heater needed replacing and was done while we were gone for the morning. Other than that the place had all amenities we needed. It was a great stay and would stay there again!

Our stay was enjoyable. Having arrived late on the first evening with no time/inclination to back track to the grocery store, it would be helpful to list in the kitchen description the type of coffee maker provided ( Keurig / drip / etc ) in order to be prepared to enjoy coffee the first morning. My husband repaired a closet knob in the lower bedroom. The screen in the sliding door to the deck is torn. The shower light upstairs is burned out. There is no sink stopper in the upstairs bathroom. We would have liked to have had hand towels in the bathrooms.

Best ME Vacation Rental!

My family and I have rented homes on lakes/ocean in ME over the past several years and this was by the far the best house we’ve stayed at. Clean, modern, beautiful views, spacious. Heating worked perfectly and all kitchen necessities allowed us to easily cook meals. Would absolutely come back again - even in winter/spring!

Sister Trip

We three sisters stayed for a week. It was the perfect location to be back from the midwest and immersed into the Atlantic Ocean culture again from our childhoods. The view is more than spectacular and the dock access to the ocean was more than we had even hoped for. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to all who love nature!

Fabulous, Peaceful retreat on the water!

The house was gorgeous and exactly as advertised. Wonderful sunrises every single morning and peaceful, inspiring views from a gorgeous deck. The owners provided a thoughtful welcome basket on arrival which was very kind! Bathrooms were lovely! We had a fantastic stay. Even stacking the dishwasher was fabulous given the 360 degree water views!

Waterfront Paradise

My husband, myself and our 3 adult children absolutely loved and enjoyed our week’s stay at Covehead. I actually jumped off the dock into the freezing water twice! Morning coffee on our deck watching the lobster boats and evening cocktails by our fire pit we’re our highlights. Beautiful location next to restaurants, walking trails, etc.. Highly recommend this well furnished and beautifully decorated home.

There were a couple of minor things which I communicatedwith David. If there was one thing for improvement, I would say that the shower water never got very hot.Also, the fireplace remote did not work and it was somewhat cumbersome turing on and off.

Well-cared for property, lovely view

We spent a happy six days here with no problems; we had asked for, and promptly received, some batteries for the fireplace remote. Well-equipped kitchen, tiny dishwasher so we felt bad about having to do multiple loads, and I would suggest a waste basket in each bedroom. Additionally, I would urge people to be careful with the upstairs bedroom sink since the water comes out pretty strongly and could potentially flood around the raised basin. We were very careful to wipe up any extra water.

Danna, Thank you for taking the time to let us know you had happy days at Coveshead. Thank you for the suggestion about the trash cans, we will follow up on that! Thank you for the feedback on the bathroom sink, it is good to know there is strong water pressure at that faucet, but to be cautious.

This property exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect - close proximity to all the sights, hiking trails, local stores/restaurants the island(s) had to offer, as well as easy access to main thoroughfares. We were able to see the coast up to Acadia National Park in an easy 2.5 hour drive, and pop into adorable Brunswick in just 20 minutes. Waking up to the sunrise and gorgeous waterfront views was an absolute delight. The house accommodated our family of 3 perfectly, with plenty of independent space, including me working from Maine for the first week of the stay. If I could give this house and experience 10 stars, I would, it was that perfect. We will definitely be back!
