Really enjoyed the location, good walks, swam, kayaked, walked to local restaurants. Will definitely come back. Loved the layout of the house, good flow from room to room. Funky settees in the dining room instead of real chairs - that really is the only thing I would change. Also, picture showed a propane grill and what is there is a charcoal grill, so we decided to grill in the oven instead. Too much time and hassle with charcoal.
Beautiful view of the cove; updated cottage; quiet
We really enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect for us. The cottage is well equipped and you can’t beat the view from the living room. Being early in the season, there weren’t many people on the island and we brought extra blankets (knowing you could also get some from the rental managers). The managers are very responsive and check in and check out instructions were clear and easy.
Cute cottage , great location. Very relaxing trip. The place is well equipped with all necessities . Short walk to 2 restaurants. Both very good. Outdoor chairs , picnic tables and fire pit. Keep in mind this is very “rustic” old cottage. No ac but all new windows , so great breeze and air flow. Our only issue was the cleanliness of the house, which as concerning. It is an old home so some issues are expected but this was basic cleaning. Ie cobwebs, food under couch , closets stacked with extra pillows on the floor, yuck . We did let them know , but not a great response. Just an — We’re sorry this was your experience and a very slight adjustment to the bill considering the high cleaning fee , linen fee , among other fees. Overall would probably stay there again based on location and overall property features , despite the cleaning as I’m Sure that will be addressed.
Very positive experience and happy to have stayed. Amazing restaurant and bar in walking distance.
The house was old but charmingly updated with great character and decor. We couldn't have been closer to the beach. Great views of bailey's Island bridge, boaters and cooks restaurant. Very close to the salt cod Cafe and the Candy co for ice cream. Great spot to relax or explore.
This cottage is very cozy and in a great location. We got there at night and were not given a code for getting into the house ahead of time. Luckily the property manager responded fairly quickly so we weren't locked out long. There were issues with the smoke alarms batteries which were complicated because it was connected to a nest that we weren't able to resolve. People should bring extra blanks as the house doesn't have sufficient blankets for how cold it gets. But the location outweighed any of those issues. Overall we were enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful time. The cottage is well equipped and the locations is perfect. Will return again next year.
This rental was just perfect for our family. The kids are still young enough to enjoy sharing a bedroom, and my husband and I enjoyed being able to watch a movie while they slept upstairs. The cottage is tastefully decorated in a minimalist way that made it feel open and brings and inviting. There were books, movies a few games and even some toys for very young children inside of the house. A giant yard outside provided ample space for ladderball or kicking around a soccer ball (both which could be found in the shed). We also enjoyed taking out the kayaks and exploring the cove. The location was fantastic. Having the ocean right outside gave my kids hours of shell hunting, crab catching and even a little swimming, while I pulled up an Adirondack chair to read a book. It was also great to be a quick walk to several restaurants.
Such an amazing experience. Loved the location- Wentworth cottage is in protected Garrison Cove with a beach our little's could play at safely between Cooks lobster pound and restaurant and Salt Cod Cafe overlooking the Cribstone bridge. We could kayak in the morning to breakfast and walk to dinner! The cottage is absolutely vacationland idyllic and does not feel as tourist trap as Kennebunkport or Ogunquit. It didn't bother us but, the cottage is not very private being right next to a public boat launch and beach. We often had pedestrians right in front of the large picture window sightseeing. We will be back next year for sure!
