If stairs are not an issue, this is the perfect property for two people. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Quiet. Beautiful sunrises. The dock was a wonderful, relaxing place to sit and soak up this lovely spot of coastal beauty.

My wife, the first hour we were at the carriage house coudn't stop saying how cute this property is...the owners were very responsive to questions we had and provided late check in due to our travel arrangments. Close to all the fun and adventures in the Acadia park area.

Wonderful! We were very comfortable here and loved watching the fishermen work their boats in the bay. Everything was perfect! This is a very clean, private and beautiful location. It is accurately listed and the pictures are real pictures of this location. Bonnie was very responsive to any questions we had. We have stayed at several VRBO places, but this was the best. Note that if you plan to visit Arcadia National Park, it is a bit of a drive, but we loved it all. Thank you so much Bonnie!

This cottage is among the best we have stayed in. The view of Joy Bay at high tide is priceless. The cottage is roomy, well-designed, well-built, nicely appointed and tastefully decorated. It’s quiet and private, clean, and well supplied. The bed and bedding are nice and comfortable and the shower is great. The wi-fi signal could be beefed up, but we would definitely return. The owners' taste and concern for quality and value are clearly evident.

We have visited Coastal Maine (Boothbay area) for many years but this was our 1st time venturing this far north. We found it to be less commercial and more peaceful. The Carriage House cottage was a restful and serene haven. There are about 15 steps to climb to get up to this high perch.... where the views out every window are truly spectacular! But these steps are: inside, wide, well-built and strong with a very sturdy handrail. We really enjoyed stargazing on the balcony and on the viewing dock as it is sooo dark there, unlike the 24/7 lights at home. We also appreciated the sense of privacy. We LOVED: the color scheme, cleanliness, spacious kitchen counter, the seating throughout (especially the loveseat recliners), very comfortable bedding and towels, the quiet stillness, the sea breezes and the incredibly beautiful sunrises!We hope to be back for a longer stay next year.

Charming cottage stay

From the moment we arrived we loved the cottage! Perfect for the two of us! We bought local seafood and cooked in almost every night while enjoying the solitude of property. Would absolutely come back again and stay. Bonnie was so easy to work with and the cottage was clean and very well appointed!

Everything as advertised

We had a wonderful stay! It’s a beautiful, quiet affordable spot for any couple looking to get away and enjoy the Maine coast without breaking the bank. The loft / cottage has everything one needs. We cooked most of our meals on the grill and enjoyed the private dock and fire pit. Views are beautiful and peaceful.
