Peaceful porch where we spent hours watching great blue herons and osprey (no bald eagles this year). Cove is perfect for exploring crabs, launching a kayak or SUP. We love being walking distance to McLoon’s for lobster every day and Giffords ice cream. Rainy weather this year so we played lots of “The Game of Life” and doing puzzles. Host Mike is quick to respond and makes the process very easy. Thanks for another great stay! ##### Stacy K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan S. Sep 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet and comfortable This is a private, compact property that was perfect for our (too) short September weekend getaway along a beautiful part of the Maine coast. I spent hours out on the back deck overlooking the tidal cove, reading, sketching, but mostly just looking and listening. Lots of wildlife, including two ospreys, a raven, a great blue heron that came twice a day to fish, and even two mink that chased each other across the beach. Cottage was very well equipped and cozy. Excellent wifi. Mike was a responsive and proactive host. We particularly enjoyed our visit to the keeper's house and museum at the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde. Would love to return for another stay someday. Highly recommended! ##### Susan S.

The cottage is “Maine rustic” but all that we need with a darling porch for perfect Maine sunrises. Walking distance to the greatest lobsters/lobster rolls and Gifford’s ice cream. The cove is perfect for tweens exploring for sea critters, fishing, and for watching the blue heron feasting, and osprey fly-overs. The construction noise from building the house next door was annoying but should hopefully be done by next summer. It’s just enough space for me, my sister, and my 13-yo son (if she ducks her head to walk upstairs). Be aware the bathroom is on the first floor if that matters to you in the middle of the night. ##### Stacy K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike G. Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great location and beautiful view… needs updated description Almost everything about the cottage was outstanding: view, privacy, peacefulness, cleanliness, furnishings for kitchen, WiFi, outdoor accessories…super. Two details are overlooked in the description. First, though modern, with decent hot water, the bathroom is tiny, hard to move around in or shut door without bumping into something. Shower stall itself also quite small. Second, the upstairs sleeping area is built for decidedly shorter folks, I’m 6’4” and had a clear disadvantage. My partner, much shorter still suffered. The stairs are steep and tall folks must duck (both clearly advertised). Going downstairs was uniquely more hazardous, owing to a very close/steep roof over stairwell, especially the top 3-4 steps. What is not highlighted is the low ceiling and its sloping pitch in the entire upstairs bedroom. I could not stand straight up in the middle of the room, and on the twin bed side of the room the ceiling was so low as to make using them difficult. On the double bed side (with the windows) the roof sloped less but was still only about 5’ at the headboard. All in all, too cramped and tight for us. This may not be bad, but should be better highlighted in the description. ##### Mike G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen T.
