A Charming Beachfront Cottage

The Maine Rose is a lovely cottage, whimsically decorated, clean, comfortable, and supplied with everything you'd need for your stay. We enjoyed every minute we got to spend by the ocean, as well as our time exploring the area. Everything worked as expected, and our hosts were quick to respond to any communication. We would love to stay there again.

Annual review of the most amazing place with all the stars we can send. There is nowhere better, and no better company than Dawne and Mark!

everything was better than expected!!!!!!

Yes, but the beach access took precedence over all other activities.

The house and the view was perfect!! Hosts were exceptional. Very clean and has everything you need. Will definitely be back!!

The beach is fabulous. Found so much sea glass. Walking to the island at low tide, amazing. The rose cottage was exactly as described. The views, so peaceful and relaxing. We stayed at the sweet pea cottage last month, it was so good. We booked the two bedroom rose cottage to bring our son and granddaughter. again, didn't want to leave. You will not regret renting this piece of heaven on earth.

We stayed at the Maine Rose to end our multi-week road trip though New England and Canada. It was so nice to sit on beach each day and watch the tide come and go. We found lots of colorful sea glass and enjoyed examining all the different rock patterns. We had several sunny days and several times that fog that rolled in and made us feel like true Mainers on the beach. Our kids loved playing in the sand and racing the waves. We had such a good time at the house, we stayed there all day each of the four days we booked - we ended up skipping planned day trips to Acadia and other beaches because it was so relaxing at Maine Rose. Also, the blankets and sheets on the king bed are super soft and comfy. The house had all we needed - plenty of towels and kitchen equipment. And we drank hot tea and hot cocoa by the sliding door morning and night. Truly - a fabulous house and location!

It was absolutely stunning. We had perfect weather. There were places to explore right on the beach and all over town. We loved every second of it. Waking up to the ocean every morning was so relaxing. 10/10 would recommend.

This was our third year at The Maine Rose, and it never disappoints! The cottage is cozy and perfectly appointed. But the beach is the star. A beautiful crescent of white sand , with a massive tide, keeping the shore ever changing. The recent addition of sliders to a sweet little deck with an amazing view makes the rental even more appealing, allowing you to open the sliders and listen to the waves and birds through the screen. A truly magical and restorative escape!

This was our first time staying in this cottage and I absolutely loved it!!! Such a perfect getaway!

Being just steps away from a secluded ocean beach made this two-bedroom cottage a fantastic getaway. The cottage was cosy and very clean, the beds comfy, and the ocean view of the beach and several islands from the windows was simply amazing! This was our third stay in this cottage and we'd go again in a heartbeat. Staying at a cottage on an ocean beach was a bucket list item for us and we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect, quiet location with a white sand beach right out front. We enjoyed a fire on the beach one night. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Lots of bath towels. The host was very friendly and accommodating.
