A wonderfully appointed home!

My family of 6 had a lovely time at this exceptional property. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided and easily accessible. The kitchen was thoroughly stocked which made cooking a breeze. The owners and property manager were wonderful to work with. We will definitely be back to this gem!

Wedding weekend

We stayed at Salt Cottage for a recent family wedding, with two teenagers, grandparents, and an aunt. The house is gorgeous with water views from almost every room, beautifully appointed, multiple decks, and so much space. A perfect place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by David Deaton

We both grew up coming to Maine for vacations and this gem on the Maine coast in 2020. We love travel and have stayed in MANY VRBO and AirBNB properties and look forward to sharing this wonderful location and home with other discerning travelers! We live primarily in Maryland. We also enjoy sailing in Maine when we're not using our home.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique on the Maine coast. It is VERY private as it sits on a 1.8 acre lot in a private neighborhood ... you will neither hear or see your neighbors. It is on the waterfront but elevated giving wonderful views from the 4 decks on the home and from two waterfront spots(the bench and the dock). It's an hour drive from Portland airport and within 30 minutes of numerous other beaches, resorts, towns(Bath,Brunswick, Freeport). It is the Maine coast as it was meant to be.

What makes this property unique

We were attracted to this home for many reasons, not the least of which was the high level of fit and finish throughout the home and the unique location providing fantastic privacy and natural beauty while still being convenient to other attractions and travel options.
