We have stayed here multiple times. It's a great little cottage. As others have said ,the bathroom is small but sufficient. The location is perfect, quick walk to the beach and The Bait Shed. Jason is very responsive if anything is needed.

Very Nice Stay

We loved staying here. 2 minute walk to closest beach entrance. Maybe 4 minute walk to beach with restrooms, showers and snack bar. No parking worries! Also very short walk to a couple quite good restaurants. This is an excellent location in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood.As another guest mentioned, the bathroom is quite small. Other than that the cottage was very cute, comfortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again.

Little gem

Wonderfully compact, minimalist cottage, with everything we wanted for a relaxed vacation. A wonderful puzzle. Good books.We needed the A/C one day. It is quiet and effective. There are 2 units, in the bedroom and the living room.The gas grill worked very well. The kitchen was well equipped.Lots of convenient hooks, to hang stuff.The beach is indeed a few minutes away on foot.

Great Little Property

This is a very comfortable property—a quick walk to the beach, restaurants, and a little market. The kitchen was big enough to make breakfast and boil lobsters. We enjoyed our time here.

The property is conveniently located to the beach and a number of good restaurants. It was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable. I would highly recommend for one or two people.

Tiny bungalow near the beach.

Nice little bungalow. We had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The shower may be too small for large people. A flexible shower head would help.

Tiny house

Very nice little house. That being said, the house was good for us as we weren’t there much, but if you plan on spending a lot of time in the house it is small, the bathroom is made for small people. I would recommend this listing as the host is very quick to respond and very pleasant and helpful.

Great Cozy Cottage

We had a wonderful time! The host was great and communicative. This house is located in a summer-only town, and we were there just after the season ended-meaning if you are looking for socialization and/or food, prepare for a 15+ min drive into Scarborough, which is plenty reasonable, and I did not have a bad meal the entire time. Had a great time and hope to return!

Tiny home!

This space was awesome. Bright, cozy, clean. I love that it was a 6 minute walk to the gulf of Maine, & the area was quiet. Perfect place to just relax & escape for awhile. The bed was a little stiff but overall, this space was exactly what I was looking for.

Girl’s Trip

This little cottage was perfect for my best friend and I to escape to from Boston! Jason was really nice, and accommodating to all our needs! The people in the neighborhood were super friendly. It’s central and close to all the fun parts of Maine; including a quick drive to Portland. Most importantly, it’s a short and convenient walk to the beach! Perfect for a quick little getaway.

perfect spot for quick trip to Maine

This property was a perfect size for my husband and I. It has a kitchen but we never used it, because of the abundance of restaurants to choose from in the area, and Portland. It's a short walk to the beach. you will need to bring your own soap and shampoo, and it does not have an iron. but as long as you're prepared for that everything was great. easy check-in, parking right in front. Everything was super easy and clean. I would definitely love to come back again.

Disappointing

The location of the property is convenient, but I can’t recommend staying here. I think the owner could have done much more to make this place more comfortable and inviting. The bed, bedding, couch and glassware are substandard.

Okay but great location

The cottage is cute and just as it appears in the photos. It is set in a quiet area, away from the main beach strip, which was perfect for us. It wasn’t particularly clean and there were no clean sheets to make the bed when we arrived at night after a long day of traveling. The host responded quickly to our text and managed to organize clean sheets for us and had someone bring them by that night. There was also only a quarter of a roll of toilet paper, so we had to buy a roll when we ran out. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, mainly because of the location.

Cute cottage in the perfect location

My husband and I stayed for about a week at this property and loved it! It was just enough room for us two, and we loved having the option to cook meals in the kitchen if we didn’t feel like going out. The house is a short walk to a nice quiet beach, and is super close to all of the fun of Old Orchard, Portland, and other nice places to walk around at. I’d say the only knock is that the bathroom is super tiny, and may be hard to navigate if you are a larger/curvier person, but that personally wouldn’t stop us from staying here again.
