A great home-base location to explore all downeast Maine has to offer. Local shops & Whale Watching in Eastport a quick drive away and within an hour drive to great hiking & iconic lighthouses. Then the family was able to wind down on the back porch & enjoy the view.

Great property! This house has everything you need for your stay! Very clean, good amount of room, and quiet location. We felt like we were to ourselves. Private beach area was great to watch the sunrise, low and high tide, collect sea glass and shells and just relax.

The host was absolutely amazing. We had a little hiccup in the beginning but was fixed immediately. The response was immediate to rectify the issue. It was a completely unforeseen problem a massive storm the day before arrival knocked out the power and the heat pump wouldn't start. It was honestly amazing to be able to look at the stars in the sky. It had breathtaking views from the private beach. It's only around 30 minutes to the border. You can actually see Canada from the back porch. It's only a short drive to the animal refuge. The most amazing part was only 15 minutes away going to the reversing falls. We definitely plan on staying again in the summer to go whale watching.

Wonderful Stay on Carlow Island

We greatly enjoyed our four night stay on Carlow Island at this property. It was a quiet area, with plenty of beach, perfect for a family with children to explore. We had a wonderful time, collected a lot of sea glass, and biked down to Eastport and up along the down East sunrise trail into perry.

Serene Maine Getaway

The house is beautifully decorated with local, beach themed items. The view from the back deck is stunning, and a wonderful rocky beach is a short walk away. The house was fully stocked with amenities and very clean on arrival. A perfect home base while visiting the down east area!

A prefect cozy cottage

The cottage was perfect for our family to stay in comfortably for the week. The yard is very spacious, with a large deck and beautiful views. the cottage is close to town while also very private and secluded. Kristen was an excellent host and was easy to communicate with.

Family fun

With three young kids we can find it hard to travel but this house was perfect! The beach was calm with fun rocks to explore. The yard was huge and almost left like it was fenced in with the beautiful meadow and bushes. The kids’ room even had some toys and books in it! Eastport was super close and we have a great trip. Hope to come back!

Great location

The location was great and the cottage was cute. Several issues occured while we were there. We were able to speak to the owner to try and correct them. I hope the issues were just a result of being the first renters of the 2024 season. The quiet location was beautiful.

Great cottage with fantastic views

We traveled to the area for a wedding. The wedding had to be moved a day early due to a hurricane approaching. Kristen was very kind and let us arrive early. The back doors of the cottage look out onto the ocean. We didn't get to enjoy the great property because it rained the whole time but it was a nice spot to watch the storm roll in. They had lots of information about local things to do and a nice welcome basket. If we are ever back in the area will book again!

Coastal beauty

The house, location and view were perfect. The house was clean and spread out nicely to provide privacy when needed. Certainly having 1.5 baths came in handy. Needed items were available upon check in. However, the livingroom furniture was horrible, so much so most of us could not use it. There are no lamps in the lr so only had a harsh overhead light. The bunk mattresses were very uncomfortable and the king mattress, although bareable, needs updating. Hate to complain but it was that bad. Would love to come again but the furniture situation makes it impossible for our comfort. Beautiful place truly
