    Beautiful setting but the cabin was dirty. Mouse droppings everywhere. I told the owner and showed him the dirt and mouse droppings. He did not get in a cleaner while I was there. Very disappointing and I would not recommend to anyone and will not return, even though it is a beautiful location.

    This was our first time renting from Tony on our annual summer pilgrimage to Maine, and we had a phenomenal time. The cabin is perfectly located with near to 1000' of private Maine coastline right outside the door. We were thrilled by the daily visits by Dolphins, Seals, Bald Eagles, and Lobster fishermen on their boats as we sat and enjoyed our morning coffee. The cabin is well appointed with everything that one needs, and free of the things one can happily live without. The charm of the cabin is in its antique nostalgia, and the relief of near total privacy. The only visitors we had all week were a very friendly porcupine (named Piney) and the owner Tony, who was only too eager to support our happiness and needs. The cabin is delightfully close to Reid State Park, with over a mile and a half of pristine beach. There's a popup lobster roll stand 1/4 mile away. A full fledged Lobster Co-Op and Restaurant 2.5 miles. Local market for provisions 4 miles. Oyster farm 5.5 miles. And a legendary dining experience at The Osprey in Robinhood Cove a short 14 minutes down the road. Altogether, we had an unforgettable time and would absolutely rent from Tony again. 5 Stars.

    Lovely location - rustic cabin. Kids liked the loft situation. Good internet and TV options. The fans were essential during a brief heat wave. Owner was unobtrusive and communicative.

    I love Georgetown and Tony couldn’t be situated any better. Such a quiet cottage and right on the ocean. Private road and nearby trails for the dogs. And minutes from Reid state park. Looking forward to future trips here.

    Great spot for all your Maine coast adventures! Less that a 5 minute drive to Reid state park, 1/2 hr max to Bath/Brunswick, hour to Portland and Boothbay. View from the decks are beautiful, and in a few steps you are in the midst of quintessential Maine coast beauty.beauty

    My husband and I recently stayed at this rustic retreat for a week. This home is in a great location, very close to the amazing Reid State Park (which the owner provided a pass for) and Five Islands Farm and Lobster Co. Georgetown is a quaint old fashioned town in mid coast Maine, leading to the relaxation we felt. No rush, no fuss. But, Bath is nearby, where everthing can be found. We ate at great restaurants and did some window shopping. We love the thrift shop on the Island!! This vacation, we were here for the views and the down time, which we found at this great rental. We loved sitting on the deck off the downstairs bedroom, which gave us a water view, just reading and relaxing. Tony, our kind owner, was very easy to communicate with. Everything was provided for us, and it was a simple transition from the hustle of life into an easy week. The rental is down a private road, very quiet and peaceful. The house is decorated with so many interesting pieces, it was fun just looking at everything!! Very homey and comfortable. Thank you Tony for your kindness and accomodations! We will see you again!

    We enjoyed a wonderful, peaceful week at Cottage by the Sea with our 2 dogs. The location is beautiful and quiet but close enough for day trips to Bath, Freeport, and Boothbay Harbor. The pass to Reid State Park was great; we enjoyed several hikes there. The bench overlooking the harbor was our favorite, spent several hours there watching the waves, boats, birds, seals, etc. Tony was a great host, and we would certainly book again!

    This was exactly what we expected it to be. Private, rustic, and incredible views. Tony the host was so personable and accommodating to us. My husband said it was a trip of a lifetime. Can't wait to return.

    It was a lovely place, but it could’ve been closer to other things like restaurants, etc.. I like the fact that I could walk my dog off the leash because of low cars.
