This was a great house. It was a quiet area. The location was perfect for us. We saw deer on two different occasions. We were able to do day trips with ease. The house was very clean upon arrival. Even the grill outside was spotless. The owner was very nice and met us there when we arrived. He suggested we visit Stonington because it would not be as busy as some of the area attractions. It was a great spot.

We had a great time in the house and our dog enjoyed playing in the back yard.The house was comfortable and very clean. We would definitely come back and recommend this place .

Great place and great area! Had a real nice time and the place was just as described….it was home away from home!

Our group of six friends wanted a casual spot on the coast for a short get-away to reunite after being apart for two years. The “Cottage” was exactly as advertised. It comfortably accommodated our group of six very (with room to spare) - everyone had their own comfortable bed, there were plenty of bathroom/shower facilities, seating for dining & chatting. The kitchen was modern/well-equipped with every need anticipated. And the cleanliness was impeccable with a truly impressive supply of towels and linens. The location - an easy four miles or so from Castine center - provided privacy along with outdoor and screened seating plus a fire pit and gas grill surrounded by welcoming landscaping.. All of this was enhanced by the genuine friendliness of owner Paul who greeted us promptly and made sure all was in order, and although it was never required, was available 24/7 should any need arise . The Cottage was perfect for our visit and we could not give a stronger recommendation!

Highly recommend this property. Owner communicates well, house is clean and spacious, location is good for activities in Castine and up to Acadia.

This was the perfect place for our family. Close to Castine and a reasonable drive to Acadia. The house was clean and suited our needs. The owner thoughfully left out some made in Maine snacks and beverages. Yummm... Rachel, the caretaker, was a delight to work with. I would not change a thing. I would stay at the Honeymoon Cottage again.

1026 Castine Rd. was the perfect house for our quick weekend get away for my nieces wedding at the Maine Maritime College. The house was VERY clean, updated and had everything we needed for the weekend. Paul our host met us at the house upon arrival and was wonderful, he even had drinks and snacks for us after our long car trip. He also gave us the rundown of some of the local places to eat drink and food shop.The house was even nicer then it showed in the pictures and was very roomy for the five of us. We had plenty of space inside and out. There was a nice deck and plenty of yard space. The house was also very well equipped with everything you needed. If we ever come back to Castine we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Paul and Rachel!

The property was better than had been described in the listing. Paul was a great host and meet us when checking in. The home had everything that we needed including a new BBQ which we were able to use. The WiFi worked well and the kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment we needed, better than most houses I have rented. When I had questions Paul was available and responded quickly. The downstairs bedroom is a little funky to get to because of the vertical clearance but my boys thought it was awesome that they were away from everyone else. There are four bedrooms which was more than enough for my family. The house is a little of the beaten path but I found that everything in Maine is that way. It is an hour from Acadia national park which we enjoyed. The best attraction we went to was fort Knox (not the one in KY) which is only about 25 minutes away. The town of castine also has some reversionary war earth works which are cool to check out and unlike most I have seen you can be on these ones. If I return to this area I will be contacting Paul to see if this property is available again.

This a nice clean house, with very responsive and attentive hosts. They started off by leaving us a little gift basket, of sorts, with all kinds of Maine food and beverage. All of the minor issues we had were responded to quickly by the owners. Can’t say enough about them. The property is secluded, private and well maintained. Good location to see Acadia and other parts of Downeast.

We came to the Honeymoon Cottage with unexpected and unique circumstances. Our beloved dog was lost and my husband flew back home to PA to aid in the search for him… We weren’t sure if he would be back. Each day was uncertain and a revaluation of circumstances, but the one thing that remained a constant source of comfort was this incredible, little house that felt like home to the four of us for even just a few days. Paul could not have been more helpful, understanding and accommodating. Paul met us at the house upon check-in and showed us around. The house was stocked with fresh goodies; beer and wine, seltzer waters, cheese, crackers and a little something sweet. It was such a nice surprise! The cottage itself is lovely. It had been recently renovated and it is quaint and charming and very comfortable. It was very spacious and had plenty of room to spare. It was immaculate and it had everything we needed—a well-appointed kitchen, two nice-sized, newly renovated bathrooms, a beautiful master bedroom and two bedrooms upstairs that were perfect for my three kids. There was a cozy family room with a smart TV, and WiFi in case you have a rainy day, otherwise you could be outside in the spacious yard, or by the fire pit, or having a drink on the deck or screened-in porch. The breeze through the open windows, the sunset and the quiet evenings were quintessential Maine and just what we needed after a long day. We found Castine to be a great jumping off point for our adventures. We visited Acadia and Bar Harbor and downtown Castine for some kayaking… it is just a stunningly beautiful spot with an amazing story of history to tell. Paul was available if we had any questions—like where to get a great lobster dinner, or problems (but we didn’t have any). He was the kind of host that made us feel truly welcomed and cared for and I can’t explain how much that meant to us. Paul even followed up with us after our stay and went out of his way to send some items back to us that we had left at the house. The Honeymoon Cottage was the perfect spot for us. My husband wasn’t able to come back and join us, but we are hoping to make this property and Castine, ME a vacation tradition for us. My family can’t wait to come back next time. This was hands down, a five-star experience and I would highly recommend the Honeymoon Cottage and Paul and Marie’s lovely hospitality to anyone looking to get away and enjoy the beauty, peace, serenity and adventure of Maine.

The house is very nice and Paul was very welcoming. It was a relaxing stay. Maine is beautiful! Love it! If you’re traveling with seniors, just be aware there are a lot of throw rugs. Also, be careful of speeders on roads.

Liked having the multiple bedrooms & bathrooms, plus the outside porch.

What a great place !! Paul the owner is a great guy. Makes you feel welcome. The home is absolutely wonderful!! Everything you need. Great kitchen to cook in. There is literally nothing you would want for. We will definitely be going back again !! If your looking for a place this is for sure it!

Paul is great, the house is lovely, very well equipped and has a lovely, large yard. It is exactly as advertised.

If your looking for quiet & space this is the place! With everything you could need. Felt like going home for a bit. Paul was an excellent host. Make sure you ask why they call it the Honeymoon Cottage. Home is very well maintained. Landscape as well. Can’t wait to go back !! Thank You !

Great house. New, high-quality, cheeful renovation with tasteful vacation art. Many bedrooms and three places to eat: the dining room, the screen porch, and the back patio. For cozy time, there is nice furniture in the living room with a large-screen TV. The owner is eager to hear questions on any subject and responds with high-quality solutions. The kitchen is fully equipped, with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils for cooking and eating a wide variety of casual and full meals. The town of Castine is a jewel - small and walkable, with small restaurants and a charming active waterfront. You can also get out to nearby towns and parks depending on your interests. To name just one activity: Castine Kayak will give you a paddle, a life vest, and a well-rehearsed safety talk, then guide you on a salt-water adventure. Tons of little islands and coves to explore.

We had a wonderful stay at the Honeymoon Cottage. The home is very clean and you can tell the owner takes pride in the property. The owner was very easy to work with and there to answer all of our questions about the house, as well as the area and things to do.

We stayed for a week at the Honeymoon Cottage with 5 adults/teens and 2 dogs. House was very spacious and comfortable with modern amenities, screened in porch, large backyard with fire pit and gas grill. The owner was extremely friendly and responsive and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful relaxing time in Maine. Paul was an excellent host and we had a wonderful time.

We had the most wonderful stay at The Honeymoon Cottage! Paul thought of literally anything and everything we could need during our stay...also plenty of tips on great places to buy lobsters for steaming. Bedrooms are so comfy; screened in back patio is perfect for watching the sunset through the trees; so much more! You need to book The Honeymoon Cottage ASAP! You’ll be so glad you did! (Ps Paul is terrific!)

My husband and I were up for a short stay and it was amazing, I cannot say enough good things about Paul and his hospitality. The house is super clean, bed is very comfy, nice towels, house is well equipped and has everything you could possibly need. 5 stars all the way.

We had a family of 6 adults and two children and a dog. All were well serviced by one of the more exceptional homes that we have stayed in. Lots of room, plenty of hot water with appliances all running well. The kitchen was one of the better kitchens we have used in a rental and as we do a lot of cooking is an important element for factoring our happiness. All the cookware was Cuisinart (!) and all seemed relatively new as well. Well done Paul, our host, who not only presented a terrific home but also had laid in a store of goodies, wine and beer as well. And good stuff too. Who does that? Two full baths with showers made it easy for everyone to relax after the day trips to various lovely towns that were nearby (we visited Castine- only minutes away, Blue Hill, where we shopped, had our fine meal at Arborvine, and Kayaked, was just 25 minutes, Stonington and Bar Harbor were each about an hour). Also a calm and quiet beach which was taken advantage of nearly everyday! Paul always responded quickly whenever I had a question and though we didn't encounter any issues it was nice knowing that he maintained contact. The backyard provided ample space for kids and dogs to run, play some baseball and badminton. The screened in porch was especially good for us for the breakfast and evening meals. Great location, great kitchen and very happy memories.

We had a wonderful time

The owners were so helpful. I was getting married at french's point and this place was just perfect for my family. wish we could have stayed longer and enjoy the great services such as the backyard. would definitely rent again next time we are in maine.
