Freshly Renovated, Family-Friendly Coastal Cottage

JorgeRating, 5 stars4 days ago
My family and I loved staying at the Seaholly cottage. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was decorated beautifully. Lexi was very considerate when stocking the bathroom with every toiletry you could possibly need. The cottage is in the perfect location and very close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommend staying at the Seaholly Cottage! You won't be disappointed! My family and I can't wait to book with Lexi again. We had a great vacation!

Maine Lakehouse, 3 Bedrooms, 2 baths, waterfront

ShannonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

Paradise Found Minutes from Ogunquit | Heated Pool

JenniferRating, 5 stars4 days ago
I truly can’t say enough positives about Stephanie’s place! First, the cottage looks even better in person. Second, the little details make all the difference from the quick response time, welcome card and lobster bag, a very informative welcome binder, and a fully stocked home which when added together, felt like OUR home! Some who is walker bound, found the property to have comfort height counters and toilet in the bathroom, two anti slip step stools to get into the bed if you’re short like myself, and remotes for everything (including instructions to use everything in the binder). If you think you need it, Stephanie supplied it from board games, lobster pot, cocktail kit, to a crockpot and a Bose speaker in the kitchen. There was a rainy day so afternoon vacay naps listening to music was a vacation-like you can get! Only suggestion would be there are closets in the bedroom but they have shelves. There are no places for hanged clothing. Bring some hangers, use hooks on bathroom door!

The Loon Nest, Waterfront Lake House, Wood Hot Tub

KristieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Nice welcome basket with snacks and water bottles in each room with plenty of towels. It is very quiet and peaceful at the camp. It is great for relaxing and hanging out and there are places to eat just a few miles away. I would not stay here if I were looking for a place to swim, while it’s a beautiful water view, the shore is tiny and the vegetation in the water is too thick and slimy to swim. Beautiful sunsets over the water. If you are looking for a quiet, slightly rustic camp in the woods with waterfront views then you won’t be disappointed here.

2 BR house, close to Ogunquit, w/ AC + golf cart!

AmandaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
1000 characters would not be enough to say all that I would want to say about our stay. Karl and Randy’s cottage is clean, comfortable, beautiful, cozy, private, surrounded by beaches and restaurants and shops all within 20 minutes!! We took two kids (ages almost 3 and almost 5) and it was an extremely kid friendly location all around. We enjoyed the heated pool, the golf cart, the private dead end road, the tennis courts, and all the attractions around. Karl was an exceptional host. So informative, kind, organized, you can tell he knows how to host very well! We last minute asked to extend our stay by a day and Karl was able to approve my request! We hope to be back!!!!!

White Pine Cottage

DianeRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Entering the cottage for the first time was like walking into a delightful and spotless Alice -in - Wonderland space. Despite the wooded setting, the cottage was light and bright. The room layout had nooks for privacy as well as larger spaces for socializing. The window seat in the living room was made for reading; a small parlor facing the front enabled private conversations. The dining table was perfect for our evening game of Uno. My niece immediately adopted the loft for her own space. Nearby Hudson provided a variety of restaurants and a river walk. We were only sad that we had but one day to spend here.

Ocean View Cottage on Cape Neddick Beach

BarbaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed at this property for 6 weeks with our dog and loved it. The neighborhood is gorgeous, walkable, and has the perfect beach for pup play. Owners are on-site, friendly, and quick to respond. The carriage house was very clean and as beautiful as pictured. We would certainly stay here again.

Plum Island Sunset Cottage

YolaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay. 6 ladies coming together to celebrate a birthday,catch up on eachother's news, enjoy meals together by the sea, and relax. The setting and house were perfect for us. Spotlessly clean and cheerful, beautifully equipeed with extra everythings, well located close to the beach, the nature reserve and the center and surrounded by lovely views. The beds were comfy and the whole house felt like a longstanding part of the community yet newly renovated throughout and very welcoming. Amanda, our host, was warm and responsive and attentive to our needs. We'd be happy to return for another gettogether!

Lakefront cottage for a fun, relaxing getaway.

ValerieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Extremely clean lake house with stunning views and all the comforts of home. Many sweet touches throughout the three bedroom house and fully appointed kitchen. Wishing we had more time to stay, relax, and enjoy the water, but would highly recommend this Air B&B! PS. I appreciated the railings along the steps down to the house, having had a recent knee replacement.

Portsmouth Waterfront Cottage

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Larry's place was beautiful. There was a great view of the inlet from both downstairs and upstairs. It's within walking distance to downtown Portsmouth, which is great because parking can be tricky in town. But we had a long day driving so we just enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and relaxing. Having a bedroom with living room upstairs AND downstairs was perfect as it afforded my daughter and I each our own space. The only problem was we didn't have more than one night to stay!

Relaxing Beach Bungalow Steps from the Beach

KerriRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We had a great time at Flip Flop and would recommend. It is so close to the beach and the welcome book had great restaurant recommendations. The Beach Plums clam chowder was especially good. The drive to Portsmouth or Rye is just 12 minutes or so. So much to do in the city for first timers! We were doing family research in the area and it was a lovely way to spend time together. Our great grandfather was a shoaler so we were surprised to look out on a clear day and see the Isles of Shoals. Thank you Carrie for your responsiveness!

Waterfront Cottage on Chauncey Creek

alisonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This Airbnb is an absolute hidden gem! It is a peaceful spot surrounded by nature in an convenient location. Inside, it's cozy and feels just like home. It’s very clean, the bed is extremely comfortable, and it’s very quiet. The spacious outdoor area is a dream, offering so many spots to sit with loved ones right by the water, from the fire pit to the dock and deck. The photos don't even begin to capture its beauty. We made lifelong memories in the backyard. The surrounding towns are packed with natural beauty and history, there is so much to do and so many lobster rolls to be eaten (I probably gained a few pounds exploring all the delicious food in Portsmouth). Andrew was an incredibly responsive and helpful host, full of good recs and making the whole experience seamless. The check out process was especially easy compared to some of my recent Airbnb’s, it was really nice being able to check out of an without having to do a laundry list of chores first 😅

Thanks for a wonderful stay at your beautiful cottage! We were very comfortable and enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the quiet peaceful surroundings. Also, thanks for helping us out by supplying your personal baking pan so we could bake our brownies! We would definitely recommend your property to anyone looking for a house on the southern Maine coast. Barbara
