Great place to just relax!!

First vacation for my three daughters and myself. No spouses, children or grandchildren. What a perfect place to stay. We loved walking the beach and sitting in the sun. The Sandpiper was everything we expected. It was nice to be greeted by the owners when we arrived. They were very helpful with directions and places to visit.

Fantastic vacation for our family

We've been home now for a couple of months and have enjoyed showing family/friends our beautiful photos and videos of our stay in the lovely Sandpiper cottage. It really was right on the ocean, with the best dish-washing view I've ever seen. Cottage had everything we needed. Books and wifi for the couple of foggy days, and Legos for our four-yr-old when he wasn't playing with hermit crabs, running on the beach or playing in the sand with the many provided beach toys (beach chairs were also provided). Such a beautiful part of the world to explore..so much majestic beauty coupled with genuine friendliness from John and Sharon. We loved walking on the beach in the morning with our coffee, looking for sea-glass and shells. The tides bring in different treasures every day! On a clear night, you can see the Milky Way. I was able to see constellations I hadn't seen in years. The night-time sky was truly breathtaking. All of us, my husband, my father and my little son had such a wonderful time there. "When are we coming back?" was a question I heard frequently from my son as we were getting ready to leave. THANK YOU for making this trip such a hit with everyone!

It was Heaven at the Sandpiper with you in Maine -

It was Heaven at the Sandpiper with you in Maine - hearing and watching the ocean waves on the beach, the beautiful view of the islands, the tall evergreens with the American flag flying in between against a backdrop of blue sky, the bright moon shining on the water, the sailboat ride and motor boat ride with Bob, eating lobsters, walking the beach to look for sea glass, the awesome camera shots, and the Sandpiper cottage and it's nautical theme (you thought of everything Kathie)-your friendliness and desire to please was so appreciated.

The best place to unwind and unplug

We LOVE the sandpiper. Our family of six has now stayed twice at this beautiful beachfront cottage. The view is stunning, the house is cozy, clean and charming. The kids could spend all day playing on the beach or kayaking in the tidal marsh behind the house. The beach and views are so relaxing, I could just spend the whole day staring out into the ocean letting all the stress and tension of our fast paced life just slip away. On rainy days (which were very few although this is Maine after all) we put a fire in the wood burning stove and played games all afternoon. There is a DVD player for those that don't want to fully unplug and an assortment of movies available for viewing. There are so many great places to visit in the area and trails with stunning views. The owners family live right next door and are always ready with helpful advice about the region...like where to buy fresh off the boat seafood, which the kitchen is fully equipped to cook! It even has a lobster pot and YES we did make lobster. We also managed to find a farmers market in Machias (about 20 minutes away) and an amazing goat farm that sells cheese just up the road. If you are looking for a place on the beach away from all the hustle and bustle, then this is your place. They way life should be...

Coziest Cottage Around!

First I must start by saying that Sandy River Beach is a beautiful, special place! I could not possibly say enough wonderful things about The Sandpiper! It's super cozy, clean and well equipped! The kitchen and living room lay out is spacious, and the bedrooms are removed just perfectly enough so that when our girls go to bed at night, my husband and I can still enjoy a nice evening together without having to tip toe around. We love to eat on the deck and the yard in front is also a great spot for our girls to play while they wait for us to get ready to go down to the beach! The beach is absolutely glorious-not crowded at all! I love being able to watch our children run the length of the beach freely! It's our family time and we cherish every second we're there! And every year as we leave, we're already looking forward to the following year's visit!

Some of the best memories!!!

I have so much I'd like to say about our stay at the Sandpiper. First of all I'd like to say that the pictures do not do this cozy and charming cottage justice. It's very clean and very comfortable. Kathie, Bob and John are exceptional hosts. Some of the friendliest people we have ever met. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the bench with our coffee every morning before our kids woke up. With an occasional conversation with Bob about our previous day's travels. The town is very small, but you are only about 20 minutes away from everything. We loved the small town and the private feeling you had, especially on the beach. Our kids loved looking for rocks and sea glass every chance they got. It was such a different beach experience than they were used to. My husband and I renewed our vows on the beach and it will be a day I will never forget. I hope and pray that our family is able to go back some day and I can only hope that it's at a time when Bob and Kathie are in town. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. The Sandpiper is a great place to stay.
