Ocean's Edge Cottage w/beautiful views of midcoast Maine for 2.

We had a nice time staying in this lovely little place right on the water over July 4th weekend. It was very peaceful and the view couldn’t be beat. There was a near constant breeze so we were very comfortable and really got to enjoy the deck and porch. The only disappointment was learning that the float had been taken out of the water and there are no plans to return it to the water which meant there is no way to safely get in the water to swim (the large rocks on the water’s edge were covered in seaweed). We really wish the listing had been updated because the float was a big part of why we chose this place, and accepted high holiday rates as well. Another warning for future renters - the electricity in the cabin is quite limited. Each room has a single bulb in the ceiling with a pull chain. There aren’t outlets in the bedrooms, only extension cords running from the ceiling light. So if you want to have a fan running (or your phone charging) overnight, you need to leave the light fixture on and unscrew the bulb. The last thing I’ll mention is the need to be very conservative with water. The cabin’s water comes from a small well that is shared with the owner’s property. The owners asked that we be very frugal with water (not to flush all that often and there’s a tub in the sink to wash dishes in so you don’t waste water). It wasn’t a big deal but something to take note of if you plan on doing a lot of hikes (like we did and thoroughly enjoyed) and want to shower everyday.

Great property with awesome views and nice and quiet. We totally enjoyed ourselves.

The location was beautiful. The cottage was a throw back to a simplier time. We watched the stars instead of cable, read instead of being on our phones. Narrow stairs to come down at night for the first floor bath. There is a home, not pictured, about 18 feet to the left that was occupied and took away some of the privacy and charm.

Quiet vintage cottage off the beaten path. Watch the lobster fisherman and harbor seals from your own deck.

Wonderful, quiet, and private location. Well maintained family cottage.

This property was beautiful. A very quiet area. You are right on the water with your own dock. The cottage was tastefully decorated and immaculate. The ocean breezes kept us cool. The owner, Lisa, was readily available if you needed anything. Great place to relax and enjoy the views. Thank you , Lisa.

The cabin was very nice and location is special, we watch eagles, ospreys, seals and other wildlife daily along with beautiful sunsets over the ocean. We thank the owners for being so pleasant and helpful

Excellent views from the deck! Sunsets were amazing, watch the seals feed on bait fish right in front of the cottage plus other wildlife!

Beautiful views, quaint home, lovingly decorated. Lots to do and see in the surrounding areas.

The cottage is lovely and comfortable, with spectacular views. The sunsets were beautiful and the clear skies at night were amazing. The kitchen had what you would need for making meals and a good size fridge for keeping supplies. Friendship is a nice small town and we were lucky enough to be there for a town celebration which we enjoyed. My only concern was not being able to lock the front door. I understand it's secluded there, but I'm sure the owner's house across the way has locks. I put our suitcase in front of the door each night and was completely shocked to see it moved aside early one morning when I got up to use the bathroom at 4:30 am. Turned out that the chain in the toilet tank sticks (this should have been mentioned when we checked in) and when I used the bathroom just before heading upstairs to bed, the water kept running and the well ran dry overnight. The owner came in to check it while we were sleeping upstairs. I felt that leaving a note would have been appropriate, though she did send a text later at 6:30 am asking us to call. Aside from that issue, we enjoyed our time there and would return if a lock was installed. I would only recommend this if you're comfortable leaving your door unlocked all the time.
