Midcoast Oceanfront Cottage

Our stay here was great! The place was comfortable, spotless, very well organized kitchen with everything you need. Love the light, cheerful paint colors & you can’t get any closer to being on the water unless you’re on a boat. And the view is spectacular for watching the sunrise, moonrise and occasional lobster boats hauling traps right in front of you. Look for treasures in the adjacent rocky beach area. The nearby LaVerna Preserve is highly recommended for a high reward hike through the woods to the ocean. Mother Nature’s sound machine, the rolling waves, gave us the best sleep! Our host Doreen was wonderful, very responsive and helpful. Thank you for a terrific week!

My 4 overall rating was not the fault of the property, but three days of rain.

Beautiful ocean views - a bank of windows.no road noise

My 3rd year staying at the Mermaid house and it may be my last. We are older and like to sit on the deck taking in the beautiful views. This year the deck furniture cushions were flat as a pancake and we sat on folding chairs. Also, the screens may need repairing as the main bathroom light brought in many tiny black bugs that seemed to just die and litter the sink. I used the smaller bath. Also, the 3 toilet bowls are all stained and appear to need flushing. These were the 3 main issues but the house is tired and requires attention.

Such a fantastic house. Management is responsive. Location is perfection. The dream vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. You can’t beat the view! It had everything you need and is in a great area with a lot to do. We are already talking about going back next year!

My husband and I truly enjoyed out stay at Mermaid Crossing Cottage. The house is lovely and had everything we needed for an enjoyable week. We have been vacationing in this area for years and were so happy to have found this gem of a property. Doreen is very responsive and helpful. We are planning to return next year.

very nice house. outdoor furniture needs cleaned. Excellent view . House very clean.

We loved our stay overlooking the bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Our host made everything very easy and responded immediately when we had questions. We'll definitely stay there again when we're visiting family in the area.

We enjoyed the openness of Mermaid Crossing cottage and that we could see the ocean so easily from almost every room. The cottage is quaint but updated in all the right ways, clean and comfortable. The more nimble of our group loved the area next to the cottage, taking advantage of low tide to explore (not easy to access over the rocks but so interesting!). We're already making plans to return!

Another lovely stay at this gem on the water. This is our second stay at Mermaid cottage. We love the location and feeling you have at this great house.

What a great house. Beautiful view and location. Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We are already looking forward to a return. Did I mention the views? Stunning.

This was our second stay at Mermaid Crossing. We love it here! The view cant be beat and the house is very comfortable and well stocked.

This is a really lovely well maintained cottage in an amazing location. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might want. The beds are comfortable, sheets are soft, pillows are plump and we slept really well. The views from two of the bedrooms and the main level are really stunning and the deck is nice to sit out on with morning coffee or a meal. Owner was really lovely to deal with as well. 10/10. All the stars.

This scruffy seaside cottage was a balm to our tired big city souls. The expansive views will be what we miss most. It’s very special. If five star luxury is your preference then skip this rental. We had everything we needed and adored the creaky floors, charming closets, the cottage garden, narrow stairs and relaxing vintage vibe that encouraged us to slow down and watch the waves. It has the feel of a well loved cottage that has been in the family for years. While it might be time for replacing a few things here and there there was nothing that felt overlooked or neglected. We found the home clean and the beds extremely comfortable. The owner was very responsive, kind and helpful. While there are few restaurants close by the small grocery store was adequate for us. Delicious ready made chicken salad! The location was the perfect home base for us to explore the area and we would be lucky to rent here again.
