    Old with little to no views of the ocean. Terrible parking. Outlets where old with extension cords. Lower windows had no screens so you couldn't open them. Storm doors had large gaps so you couldn't leave the inside door open for air. Ants in bathroom. Steep and narrow steps to the upstairs.musty smell. Very disappointed. The picture is where you park to see the ocean.

    While we found the house clean it was very cluttered with unnecessary stuff. Bedrooms on the 2nd floor and bathroom on the first floor. The stairs to get to the bedrooms were rather steep and narrow. The fact that the bathroom and bedrooms were not on the same floor should have been noted in the description. We would not have stayed there. The view of the small beach/water was very limited. Quite disappointing because that is why we stayed on the coast of Maine. We also saw info about a fire pit but couldn’t find it on the property. All in all, disappointing. On the plus side the house was fully equipped in the kitchen and plenty of blankets to keep us warm.

    This is a house filled with character and plenty to keep you busy on rainy days. The kitchen was great with every kind of dish or pan you’d ever need. They had spices galore which was very helpful. There were plenty of ideas for visiting the area and plenty to do if it rained -games and books! The location was wonderful with a beach a few steps away. We watched a super moon rise one night and I took photos of a sunrise that was an amazing experience. The only things that were a bit tricky were the stairs upstairs and the basement was a bit dark and basement like. It was where the washer and dryer were but both worked well.

    We were a little disappointed that the location of the house did not give us the view that was shown in the pictures. The view we had was the side of the house next door and not the water view like the pictures. You had to go outside and down the street to get that view. It was a little deceiving. Also the seating in the living room was cramped and uncomfortable...too much stuff in one room. All in all it was too expensive for what we got. Sorry.

    This is the cutest bayside cottage, nestled in a quiet neighborhood of beautifully appointed homes. The getaway is so relaxing, with the bay right there to get lost in its beauty and wonderful outdoor places to sit and exhale. We spent a lot of time here just breathing in the crisp fresh air & sipping coffee while listening to the gentle waves lapping, the birds chatting, the wind whispering, the brook water bubbling and the windchimes lightly playing a beachside tune. We took advantage of the kayaks, and rocking chairs quite a bit. It was so nice that we didn't want to leave. But when we did, we found it was close to everything in New England that we wanted to explore on our first time here. Lighthouse & Leaf Peeping! Inside this getaway is everything you need to feel at home. There is a fully stocked & very clean kitchen, including a bottle of wine, bottled water, spices and everything you need to cook and serve a gourmet meal or a lobster feast. The bathroom (downstairs) was very clean and had everything you need. The bedrooms (upstairs) allowed for privacy, restful sleep, and had plenty of clean linens, blankets and pillows, with the beds fully made when we arrived. The host does not expect you to wash your morning dishes or strip or make the beds before you check out, which is a nice bonus when trying to get out the door to catch a flight. The host is very easy to chat with and so nice. We will for sure stay at this lovely place if we find ourselves in Maine again.

    Extremely disappointed. Bathroom downstairs, beds up very narrow, steep stairs. Very dusty & cluttered, no room for any personal items. Laundry in unfinished basement with cobwebs & more clutter. Only way into house up several flights of stairs. Chairs, floors falling apart. Couldn’t sleep on sofa in living room due to nasty stains, bedbugs & trash. So we purchased a blowup mattress & only stayed one night. Not a good fit for senior citizens. House needs a good cleaning & get rid of worn out furniture. We didn’t ask enough questions before booking. Will probably never use Vrbo again. Just can’t trust pics & descriptions. Only view of bay was 3rd floor or one outside chair. Great view of several houses next door & sounds of dump trucks rebuilding rock walls. Overwhelming bad experience.

    Vintage charm, incredible location, and family friendly! Our family of 4 with kids ages 7 and 10 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close enough to Portland to explore for the day, but a world away in a quiet seaside setting. Our family enjoyed using the kayaks and SUPs, although a few smaller life jackets would have been beneficial, as well as swimming at high tide and exploring the beach for creatures and treasures at low tide. The queen bed, full bed, and twin bed are essentially in a shared space upstairs, and were adequately comfortable. There is one window AC unit upstairs and one downstairs, which kept the house sufficiently cool, in addition to available fans. We ate most meals st the house and found that the kitchen was well equipped. We also made use of the laundry in the basement. Our kids appreciated the good WiFi and board games. I enjoyed having my morning coffee on the front deck. Beers and a treat in the fridge at arrival were a nice touch! Highly recommend!

    We loved the space! It was exactly as listed. We ended up not using the smaller space because there was no AC and the windows don't open but we enjoyed the main house. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into the amenities and we found it well stocked.

    Our stay was fabulous! Val and Jim are spot on hosts and will help you with whatever you may need. The home is perfect for a family that is ok with close quarters. All of the beds (in the home) are in ‘mostly’ the same space upstairs. The one room that could be ‘private’ needs to have the door open due to temperature and no air conditioning in the room. However, we were traveling in July. Most likely other times of the year that room would be perfect for some privacy. I will say the beds are not super comfy however everything else was clean, we were well provided for and if we needed anything Val sent Jim right over and he took care of anything that needed attention. I highly recommend this home for a small family, a close group of friends that are ok with close quarters or just a space for a beautiful respite. The beach area is fabulous for a quick ‘cold plunge’ in the ocean. You can jump off the pier at high tide and swim back to shore! It’s an experience. The local Town Landing Market is such a great spot. The employees are kind and they carry the BEST blueberries and a lovely wine selection. I LOVE THIS AREA and HOME, AND WILL BE BACK.

It’s also centrally located so it was ideal home base for our Portland and sailing adventures.The owner, Val, was a delight. She communicated quickly and effectively y…and gave us a whoopie pie welcome treat. I’d stay here again.

    Couldn’t have asked for a better location! Having the beach right there was so nice. We were grateful to have the use of paddle boards and kayaks. Our hosts stayed in contact with us through the week to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The house could use some updating but to be expected with an older home. The bedrooms weren’t ideal but we made it work. We would definitely stay again!

    This house is tiny and very, very cluttered. Essentially it is a 4 room house. I think it would be best suited for a couple ..and no more. There are two bedrooms upstairs ..no real privacy...and the bathroom is on the first floor only. On the plus side the kitchen was very useable and the big screen tv worked very well...plus paddle boards and more were available. The location could not be better. .
