The property had not been cleaned when we checked in. By the time the owner got back to us we had already checked into a hotel at double the price. We are disputing the charge as the owner would not refund our payment.

Hi Beverly, we did approve your request. We are not understanding why VRBO hasn’t done so. Also, the homeowner had an emergency for a potential stroke…. We did explain that to you and we had it cleaned for you within 1hr after your check in time. We are thankful you did not stay because you were far from accommodating especially during a time of emergency. Very sad you wrote a review after we explained to you and said yes to the refund. We wish you the best.
This cabin had the basics we needed in a home base to explore Acadia NP. We met the owners in arrival and they're very nice, welcoming people with a long history in the area (he literally wrote the book on it, it's in the cabin). Nothing fancy, but it had a kitchenette, firepit, grill, and nice views of the narrows. The water heater is very small (good for 1.5 showers.back-to-back). The main downside is that the cabin sits just 50 feet off US-1, the main thoroughfare through that area, which makes it quite noisy if you're looking for a remote getaway. Overall, it was a nice stay and convenient to the area attractions.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood on Taunton Bay because it captures everything we love about coastal Maine—peaceful water views, fresh sea air, and a strong connection to the working waterfront. It's a hidden gem where you can sip your coffee while watching lobster boats go by, walk along the shoreline, and enjoy the beauty of nature without the crowds. Plus, it's perfectly located for easy day trips to Acadia, Schoodic, and Ellsworth!
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is its unbeatable combination of charm, location, and authentic coastal Maine experience. Perched right on Taunton Bay, the cottage offers front-row seats to daily lobstering activity—something you won’t find just anywhere. Its private deck, water views, and cozy layout create a peaceful retreat, while the prime Route One location allows for easy access to Acadia, Schoodic, and local towns. Recently updated, it blends modern comfort with rustic waterfront charm.
