Perfect Place to Write, Think, Relax, Be

I traveled to Maine to work on a writing project that has been slow going at home. The home was a perfect place to slow down and focus on my work. The gorgeous view from the enclosed porch made a perfect work space. The bed was a perfect place to rest at night. And Marc, the host, was helpful in advance while I was booking my trip and quite responsive to a couple of minor things that bubbled up during the trip. I really couldn't have asked for a better spot.

Fantastic Maine Coast Location!

The house was very eclectic and fun. Everyone enjoyed seeing all of the interesting art and objects that were in the house, porch, and fish shack. The house was also very spacious for our family of 5 adults. There is also a large amount of information regarding local restaurants and activities. That was very helpful! Also, Marc provided a lot of this information in advance which was helpful in trip planning. What's even more spectacular is the property itself. The amazing ocean views, the great pier for sitting out overlooking the water, the cove, the great backyard area... It's even better than the photos on the listing! We would highly recommend this property!

Great stay

We had such a fun week in mid coastal Maine. Mo’s cove is in a great location with beautiful, expansive views. We rented kayaks that we launched from the small private beach, jumped off the dock at high tide, and caught some epic sunrises. The home is as pictured - it’s definitely an artist’s retreat that also feels reminiscent of stays at grandma’s house (some treasures that reminded me of my early childhood), and part history museum. Marc is genuine and generous in his offer to explore and enjoy the house. We painted and made art, played cards and games on the sun porch, explored nautical maps, and flipped through amazing old letters and fascinating pieces of history. The house is eclectic and a throw back in time. We settled in and enjoyed lots of cool discoveries, the stunning views, great local food, and lots of activities in the area.

Best of Maine

We absolutely loved our stay at Moz Cove. The view alone is reason enough to book this house and the access to the water is exceptional. There are stairs to a beach where we launched our canoe and kayak. There is also a pier with a float at water level. At low tide, we explored the rocks and caught hermit crabs. At high tide, we jumped off the float to swim. The house was clean and comfortable with all the essentials upgraded (dishwasher, oven, washer/dryer, etc). We loved the various antique collections. Beds are comfortable and the house is more spacious than the photos suggest. Wifi is strong — I loved working upstairs with a view of my family in the yard and cove. Highly recommend a trip to Lobster Lane Bookstore (amazing selection of used books) and at least a day exploring Rockland and the Farnsworth. Thomaston hosts concerts on Wednesdays evenings in the summer. This house and its location are truly the best of Maine summer.

Perfect family vacation spot in a spectacular location. We loved the eclectic house, full of books and history. A welcome respite from the over curated vacation homes without character that tend to be the norm.

Amazing property!

We had a fantastic week at this wonderful waterfront property. The small beach and large dock offered easy access to the water and spaces to enjoy the amazing views. We enjoyed kayaking right from the beach. The house itself is clean, spacious and comfortable, with lots of historic items that added special charm. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms worked well for our large family group. The porch offered comfortable seating for dining and for more views. The owner provided thoughtful touches throughout, including a guidebook to the area and details such as toiletries and phone chargers. The fish house was a special hit with our boys, who slept there. We would absolutely stay again.
