The property is amazing, overlooking an inlet off the bay. The only nit I’d have is the part about having a beach available - at least during early August, that beach is non-existent, covered by beautiful grasses, and the swing of the tides means even if the grass weren’t there, for a good chunk of the day you’re looking over tidal mudflats. Still beautiful, but we brought beach chairs thinking there’d be a beach and there wasn’t. ##### Chuck H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia L.

And then there were the extra goodies in the refrigerator...! I appreciated the quiet location for writing and reflection, and the nature preserve on the island that is within walking distance. A sweet spot on a very small island. ##### Cynthia L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kris R.

The apartment is cozy yet spacious and offers plenty of windows and a balcony where you can look out at the water while sipping your morning coffee. The property is located in walking distance to the preserve which is a huge bonus! There’s a beach on the property where you can go and swim,collect seashells,crab or just relax! Paul and Linda are so welcoming and very accommodating! We fell in love with Maine during our stay and we highly recommend booking this property so you can experience and explore all that Maine has to offer! ##### Kris R. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne F. Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I had no cell service (Verizon) when we were in the middle of Cousins Island so I was not able to pull up the check-in email Paul had sent a few days prior which I had read but thought I could pull up upon arrival. I was able to call him and he came right over to tell us where to park & we figured out the WiFi password. We had a really nice 3 day stay at Anchor Loft. Originally I booked a hotel in Freeport for our annual family reunion. Thank God I found this place instead and was able to cancel the hotel. This place is so comfortable with beautiful views every which way you turn. We took a walk to and around the preserve, then back around the island past the local dock-about a 3.2 mile loop. We sat on our beach chairs on the rocks by the bay on the property reading our books. We enjoyed the sunshine and lovely breeze watching the ferry going back and forth to Chebeague Island. Who needs to go to the beach with sand. We ate dinner at the Royal River Grill which I highly recommend. We hope to come back again to take the ferry, ride bikes & take the kayaks out on the bay. Sitting out on the deck star gazing was a real bonus as well. ##### Suzanne F. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine G.

Very clean, up to date, well maintained, and in a quiet, peaceful, and absolutely gorgeous setting. Far superior to a hotel for the same or a lesser price. If you need anything while at the property, Paul is very responsive, personable, and kind. Very easy to make trips into town or nearby Portland and Freeport. A great place to come back to after a longer day trip in the region for hiking, sailing, lighthouse touring etc. Several good food options in Yarmouth and Freeport as well if, like me, you don’t want to cook on your vacation and like to have plenty of good options close by - I recommend the Royal River Grillhouse for a really good dinner. I will be back. ##### Katherine G. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa K.

Their place is perfection. My 2 year old and I stayed for 10 days and everything from the moment we got there made me feel safe, at peace, and calm. I was slightly nervous being alone with my son and without my husband and I left in tears bc it was so magical I wanted to stay longer!! Every detail of their home is perfect. Clean, well laid out, bigger than pictures show, and the location is ideal. Paul and Linda thought of everything and all of our needs were met! Paul even helped me one morning put a bike seat on one of his bikes for my son so we could bike around the.m neighborhood. It was close to Freeport and Portland, and we spent 10 full days adventuring, hiking, biking, playing in the tide pools, and then coming home to a peaceful, restful place everyday at the anchor loft. I pray to return one day with my husband so he can share in the magic both my son and I felt there! Thank you so much!!! ##### Melissa K. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pete G.
