Loved the cottage. Cozy, nicely decorated, even a record player and vinyl! Super clean and the view can't be beat. Sarah even had asked in advance about food allergies and had some great snacks waiting when we got there! Great communication as well. We will definitely stay here again!

Great place to get away from everything.

Sarah's place is a cool cabin on the water where you can literally watch the tide roll in. She had everything we needed and aside from a loud refrigerator and a washing machine out of order, we enjoyed our stay. The fire ring and porch overlooking the bay was perfect.

Little cabin in the woods--kind of.

The cabin was as described and very sweet, clean and comfortable. We used the cabin as a home base to explore parts of the coast and it served us well. Sarah was very communicative and even offered us to stay on since the weather was bad the day of our departure. There are neighbors nearby but it was quiet and no one bothered us. I would recommend if you're exploring the area.

Perfect peaceful getaway

The cottage and property were exactly as described, tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood. It was clean and decorated nicely. Sarah was great at communicating and had treats and other items stocked for us. Some of the more popular attractions in the area (Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden) were a bit of a drive, but we were fine with that given the peaceful setting we had. We would definitely return to stay here and would recommend the cottage to friends!

Wonderful

I've never used a vrbo-type service before, but Sarah was a wonderful host. She offered helpful suggestions of activities in the area and made us feel at ease. The cabin itself was quiet and cozy and perfect for taking time to relax. It was nice to see the changing tides outside and it was only a short drive to visit nearby sites while still getting to retreat back to peace at the end of the day. I hope to visit again, perhaps during the warmer season, but fall was lovely as well.
