Step out of the stress of everyday life and into this little bit of paradise. This family owned cottage is attached to the larger private home. It is located at the end of a peninsula, with water views from most rooms. A self contained, 882 square foot, two level apartment with private entrances.

Casually elegant, this recently renovated 1927 summer home is a blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Each bedroom is lined with windows, affording views of passing lobster boats,changing tides, and gorgeous sunsets. An open concept living area and kitchenette provide all the conveniences necessary for comfortable living.

You can spend time sitting on the deck, overlooking the rocky Maine shore, or hop in the car and drive to nearby Boothbay Harbor, Old Orchard Beach, the outlet town of Freeport, or Pemaquid Point. In close proximity there are many venues for kayaking, boating, whale watches, and excursions, so you can be as busy as you please, or just idle, enjoying the cool summer breezes and breath taking water views. We are pet friendly, we do request that you click off in the reservation that you will be bringing a pet as we have a small pet cleaning fee.

So, come and see us. Take a deep breath of the fresh clean Maine air. Walk the quiet, picturesque streets, lined with beautiful old family homes, eat lots of lobster and once again, enjoy life. You deserve it!

    Nice space but cramped in places, some repairs needed, some creative electrical work noted, great location, and terrific views. So nice to be away from all those other people you encounter at other locations.

    The property is beautiful in a very quiet and secluded location. Views of the water from the unit are spectacular. The property is a fair distance away from Portland but that was clear by the location map on the VRBO web page. Not a problem, just something to be aware of. Upon arrival in early fall, the gas fireplace was on, making for a very welcoming experience. Make sure to visit the Potts Harbor Preserve just down the road.

    Check-in was super easy and communication was excellent! The cottage was super clean and well appointed with everything you need to cook/bathe/sleep. The view is to die for!! I can’t say enough about how gorgeous the views are both from the cottage and from the beach in front of it. I’ll be sorting my pictures for weeks I’m sure! If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful stay with gorgeous sunset views, this cottage is perfect. The only “negative” for us was the location. It is pretty out there and took quite some time to get to restaurants and stores and such. So if you’re looking for nightlife and going out, this is not the place. But if you are looking for gorgeous and peaceful views you have found the spot!!

    Gorgeous, peaceful location. Enjoyed the beautiful sunset, having the windows open, and had to laugh that having a full moon actually woke us up because it was so bright once it also sets.

    Charming cottage in a spectacular location. Just a short walk to Potts Point Preserve and a lovely neighborhood for a stroll. Perfect for unwinding, but also close to lots of other fun places to explore. The view from the bedrooms can't be beat.

    For our girls trip to Maine, we chose this quaint rental. It was very clean, thoroughly stocked, and just what we were hoping for. The views out of all the bedroom windows were absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed being able to walk the beach in back of the house everyday. Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for sharing your gorgeous property with us. We can’t wait to come back!

    Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful place with little interaction with people, yet you're among a community. Stunning views and such great coziness. A true delight. A perfect getaway for a quiet, restful weekend. Has everything you need. Felt really safe here and welcomed. Everyone was friendly. Seriously one of a kind. Kind of hate leaving such a great review because now the secret is out!

    Everything about this stay was perfect. We loved the living space. It had everything we needed as well as info on things to do and good places to dine. The hosts were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Outside the views in every direction were beautiful. So much so that when our son came up to spend a night with us he booked it for a week with his family. We can't wait to return and would recommend it to anyone.

    My Husband and I stayed for a long weekend and it was a perfect visit. The house is very clean, and had everything we needed. The views were truly breathtaking. We even forgot our car keys after we checked out and Barbara went out of her way to ship them back home to us. We will definitely be back next fall!
