    Great water view. I am a large man and the shower handle stuck out about 5 into a small shower stall. So, every time I turned or used the portable shower head I turned the handle either to full hot or full cold. It would have been better to have a flush knob rather than one that stuck out into a very small shower space.

    Loved looking out over the water from either the couch or the deck. Greg and Deborah are great hosts.

    We had a wonderful experience. It was great to get away from electronics and WiFi for a few days. We reconnected with nature and with ourselves. This was a lovely cabin by the sea. Much recommended!!!

    My wife and I stayed for four nights. The cottage was comfortable and cozy. The view from the deck is beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the boats come and go from Casco Bay. We would stay at this location again.

    This was a wonderful place to stay. It was central to everything we were looking to do, and the view of the harbor was spectacular. It would have been even better if we had been able to see the sunrises and sunsets (it was overcast most of the time). The cottage is well-equipped and kept. It is, however, an older property and has limitations. The bathroom is quite small, and the shower would be very difficult for a larger person. I am 5'9 and about 200 pounds. It was tight, but manageable for me. The owner lives next door and is responsive, so don't hesitate to contact. We loved our getaway, and recommend Heron Cottage. By the way, the Lobster Pound less than a mile away is awesome! Bring cash.

    This is a wonderful spot for a couple's getaway. Everything was nice pillows, linens, furniture, grill, but most importantly the view. The shower is very small if you're a big person you might not fit. Everything else is fantastic and well worth it! Right around the corner is Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster, great food within walking distance. Shopping in Freeport is amazing. Everyone is very friendly in the area. I highly recommend this location.

    Bathroom very small big enough for one person shower is so small that I am 6' 230 pounds and could barely fit into fit into it. If you move you hit the temperature valve. Needs to have a smoke detector in the bedroom. Bottom boy's functionable and plenty of hot water.

    The Heron cottage is a gem: Right on the water with its own deck and access to a floating dock. Just delightful views. Great opportunities for sunrise and sunset photos. Layout of cottage is perfect: cheerful bedroom, perfectly supplied furnishings and kitchen items. A rather small shower, but workable. Harraseeket Lobster pound just around the corner for lunches and takeout. Definitely hope to return.
