    Our stay at Back Bay Cottage, Portside was amazing! Working with Abby was great and she was so helpful with questions and took care of everything down to the smallest detail. The cottage is stunning and we did not want to leave. The scenery and comfy interior provided the quiet calm we needed for this visit. Thank you so much! Can't wait to come when the temps are a bit warmer!

    The host was very good at sharing information and making sure all of our needs (and a few wants) were met. The place is truly a gem that I would happily return to.

    I instantly fell in love with the cottage! Its charm is top notch and it has great views of the bay. My husband and I, as well as our friends, all felt right at home. Our parking spot was big enough for my husband's truck which we didn't need to use much because the cottage is within walking distance to all of the great restaurants and super cute stores!

    We were so impressed with the in-town location (truly walk to restaurants and shops) while also being literally on the water! The deck and dock were a dream to sit outside and have our morning coffee and evening wine.The home is pristine with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds.Abby was a wonderful host, providing a wealth of information ahead of our arrival. We were impressed by her thoughtful welcome basket of local wine and blueberry jam (and the invitation to get a a tin of our favorite flavor of Coastal Maine Popcorn).We would absolutely return to the beautiful condo again!

    This is one of those reviews that I almost hate to leave because the selfish part of me doesn’t want too many people to find out about this amazing place! There is nothing that is not incredible about the condo, view, setup, location. Wow.

    We loved our stay at Back Bay Cottage - Portside! The location is awesome; its very walkable but it also feels tucked away. We loved sitting on the dock, getting ice cream at the Downeast Ice Cream Factory, and comparing Lobster rolls sold around town. The kids enjoyed Barrett's Park, Ocean Point Beach, and Hendrick's Head Beach and we appreciated that there were beach towels, toys, and camp chairs available for our use. We also enjoyed hanging around Cottage. It is easy to relax there, the kitchen is well supplied, and the views are great. We hope to be back!

    What a spectacular experience! From communicating with Abby, who was kind, detailed, and responsive, to the actual accommodations, which were some of the nicest, most thoughtfully planned that we've ever stayed in, every part of this visit was outstanding! We can't wait to visit again and again!!

    The condo and location were everything we were looking for in a relaxing vacation. It was like staying at a good friend's house - so comfortable, with great furniture, wonderful decorations and well stocked with anything you might need. The condo had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed being on the water and loved that town was only a few steps away. We felt like locals! Abby included a lot of information about activities which made it easy to plan day trips and explore the area. She thought of everything. Highly recommend.
