Classic 4 BR cottage steps from the beach: off-season rental inquiries welcome!

Words can not describe the wonderful experience we had at Deerwander cottage. So peaceful listening to the surf renewing the soul and walking on the beach

We were amazed at the view around the house, with its porches and veranda. We found the kitchen to be very well equipped with modern appliances and everything needed to prepare meals for a group. The living troom was equipped with the latest in streaming TV technology. Contrary to what we were told, all rooms were equipped with linen and towels. We could have saved carrying some luggage if we had known about this. The furniture in some rooms would need refreshing. All in all, we had a wonderful time in that house,close to the beach, with great views of the beach and right next to a pond. The weather was also fantastic for al but a few hours of our stay..

We had such a nice time at this lovely property. Diane responded to every question and took care of our needs and was the perfect host. The views are second to none and we loved sitting on the porch soaking it all in.

The private cottage yet close to the beach is a treasure.

Diane was very friendly and easily reachable. She stopped by once we arrived to great us. The property states that it is 1.5 bathroom and 4 bedrooms. I did not see anywhere is the description that the half bathroom is actually outside with no sink with the toilet. It was clean but still odd to have to go out of the house to use. The 4th bedroom (twin) was located through another bedroom, so if you slept in the back room and had to get up in the middle of the night - you would have walk through a bedroom while someone is sleeping. The property is a typical Maine cottage. Some updating could make it even more homey but the property is nicely located right across the street from the beach and viewable from many spots in the house. Another suggestion would be a house/area guide. Where to find the wifi password, how to use the heater, where to eat in the area, etc.

We had a great time at Diane’s place! The proximity to the beach and views of the ocean and the pond can’t be beat! The house is cozy but still had everything we needed. We’ll be back!

The property and house were fantastic.We had a great time and would love to return,and would recommend it to others .The owner,Diane Deering could not have been nicer and was very helpful.

From arrival to departure, our experience at Diane’s and Dave’s beach home was terrific. The beautiful setting, next to a pond and across a small street from the wonderful beach at Fortunes Rocks, was enhanced by our hosts’ providing us with all that we needed to enjoy a restful and relaxing Maine vacation. A well equipped kitchen with extra refrigerators, cooking equipment for preparing meals at the stove indoors or on the backyard gas grille, pots, plates and utensils for a lobster/steamers boil, an enclosed sun porch for dining, a beautiful chair covered front porch from which to enjoy the sights and sounds of both the nearby ocean and pond as well as frequent visits from the hummingbirds who came to feed, large back and front yards with a fire pit’s wood burning fire to enjoy as the temperatures dropped in the late August evenings, all served to make for a tremendous holiday to close out the summer. Detailed instructions about accessing wi-fi, trash pickup, and other elements important to know for our stay were provided. The care and attention that Diane and Dave clearly put into preparing their home to welcome us as guests was very apparent and deeply appreciated. Thank you so much and it would be our pleasure to return next summer and beyond!

Home owner is super sweet. The kitchen was missing a lobster pot bun I believe she was going to purchase one. The only double bed was very outdated and uncomfortable but the property and location made up for that. My dog was welcome and my whole family enjoyed it very much! We hope to return next year!

We measure our experiences by the conversations that take place about “returning someday”. We are unanimous in wanting to come back- thank you so much for sharing your cottage. It was cozy, well appointed and so close to the beach. It met our needs perfectly.
