Beautifully Appointed Townhouse

Beautifully appointed townhouse with all the supplies you need (lots of fluffy towels, kitchen supplies, handsoap, Kleenex, etc.) Lovely views, great mid-coast Maine location (just a hop, skip, and a jump to Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta, Bath, etc.), and festive Christmas decorations (stayed just a few days before the holiday).

Wished we could have stayed longer

Great property in a small waterfront community. The beds and furniture were comfortable and the entire unit was spotless. Just feet from the water’s edge, with nice views from the living room and two of the bedrooms. The kitchen had everything you would need to make a meal, and there was even coffee for the Keurig. We stayed only one night, but could envision being comfortable here for a longer stay.

Perfect spot!

We needed a spot to get ready for an event and then return and enjoy some quality time with friends. This spot was exactly what we needed and exactly what was described. It was very clean even having it be a pet friendly spot. The check in and check out was super smooth and easy. The beds were so comfortable and clean.

New Year's Eve Retreat

My husband and I shared this property with another couple for New Year's Eve. The house was clean and lovely and had plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dishes. Also coffee was available. We would have had a gorgeous river view if it hadn't been raining. A small issue is turning left out of the road in the summer because there's a lot of traffic on that route. Nevertheless, we had a fabulous visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

Pure Maine

Very nice for our group of relatives who came for family reunion. Didn’t spend much time in unit, mostly to sleep. Lovely property and the view of the river was very nice. Outdoor covered patio was great spot to sit in the early morning with a cup of coffee.

Nice property - great location

Really enjoyed our stay, despite the lack of hot water for morning showers. The owner was easy to contact and helped solve the issue over the phone. His management company also followed up, but we were leaving before the hot water was ready. The townhouse was roomy, in a great location and the beds were comfortable. If it were our place, we would have rearranged the living room furniture to face the fire place (November stay) - there were instructions telling us not to.

Great location & views

Overall would highly recommend, but with just a few improvements the property could be much more comfortable. Not deal breakers, but a few things to be aware of: the (master) downstairs bedroom with attached bath has a queen bed and extremely limited space to move around, with no bedside tables. Access to outside is restricted based on notes taped to the doors to downstairs patio asking you to not open those doors. Upstairs balcony is not screened. No washer and dryer. AC worked well, check in process was easy, location fabulous and host communication excellent.

Wheelchair accessible home

Unfortunately this home was listed wheelchair accessible; however there were steps to enter the home and a rock walkway upon entrance. I had to purchase a $600 ramp just to enter the home for the weekend and rely on a friend to get me in and out of the home. Very unfortunate this home was declared wheelchair accessible by the owner. Once in the home the windows and doors were duct taped shut and not to be opened. It was very bizarre. There was dirt in the silverware drawer, the fireplace was not to be used and a huge tv was blocking the views of the river. It’s just a strange place and NOT wheelchair accessible as advertised.
