Suzzane great us at the dock and transport us to the Friendship Long Island. Danielle meet us at the home dock and help us carry luggage to the beautiful cottage. They gave us a home tour and the check in process is very smooth! Suzanne brought us to the lobster wharf, super fresh Maine lobster! Kayaking in the gulf, fishing mackerel, squid and sea bass, catch crab, saw sea seals, we even see two dolphins chilling in the bay!!! Best Vrbo experience ever! See you next time!

The cottage was perfect and the veiw was stunning but it was not private. Thought Odette might have mentioned 10 people (inc 4 young children) staying 75 yds away. They were very nice and would have been different if we had children. Also thought the request to sweep the cottage floors on top of the cleaning fee, pet fee and host fee was a bit much.

The cottage was just right. Comfortable, quiet, and very well equipped. Everything we needed was provided. The VRBO description and brochure provided by the hosts were complete and very helpful. The kitchen had a wide assortment of kitchen tools, pots, and pans, and an unexpected assortment of spices and such. We mainly grilled on the deck. We did not take advantage of the wood stove but it was also ready to go. A very short walk from the cottage to the dock put us and our kayaks in the water. The hosts were friendly and helpful, getting us from the mainland to the island and also giving us a waterborne sightseeing tour around the island. We are only there three days, a week or more would be great.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay! Amazing sunsets, comfortable beds, quiet island, and beautiful walks in the woods. It was a perfect honeymoon trip for us! 🥰

This was the second summer we spent time at this gorgeous property! It's a special place indeed! Unplugging in a place with stunning views and walking trails can't be beat. My children love jumping and swimming off the dock and playing endless rounds of cards. We're so grateful to Odette & family for sharing this gem!

Wonderful weekend at this cabin on an island off of Friendship Maine. The Description, location, weather, the water, privacy, the care takers especially Odette were all great. The cabin was perfect, neat, clean, everything you need to have a perfect stay on a secluded island. Our puppy and 8 year old also loved it! We hope to do it again next year! Thanks Odette!

We got lucky with the weather and Odette was a gracious host. The property has everything you need for a wonderful getaway. An overall relaxing experience.

Our visit to the island was very special. We spent a week there at the end of August as a family vacation. The cabin is cozy and simple, yet thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a fun and relaxing week of swimming, water play, exploring and relaxing peacefully on the deck or next to the woodstove.

If you are looking for a quiet place with amazing views to just relax and catch up with the ones you love, this is a perfect place. I visited this property with my husband and two adult children. We put our devices away and just spent time together. We all enjoy a coastal view and nature, so this was the perfect mix. I was able to do a ton of writing while we were there, as the space was inspiring and grounding. We explored the island on it’s magical paths and sat for many hours on the deck overlooking the water. We brought our kayak and enjoyed paddling around the island and to and from the mainland (mostly my husband did this.) The cottage was clean, very comfortable, and well stocked with all we needed (we just needed to supply our own food) and we didn’t mind the extra care needed for the compost toilet or environmental issues (like composting food or making as little garbage waste as possible) of staying on an island. We appreciated the untouched beauty of this place and treasured the sharing of it. Our host and her family were all so friendly, we were so grateful for them and we sure hope to make it back to this special place again!

My husband and I have been coming to the Muscongus Bay/Friendship area for many years as it's a beautiful and a great area for any level of sea kayaker. We really liked the location on Friendship Long Island and the solitude. The property is a great jumping off point for many great kayaking destinations. Odette and Bill were extremely accommodating hosts and super helpful getting us and our personal gear and kayaks to and from the island. I can't recommend their hospitality enough. The cabin itself is super comfortable, with a very comfy bed, and set up really well with everything under the sun to facilitate great cooking. It is an off the grid property as advertised and isn't meant to replace a resort hotel experience. If you have reasonable mobility and want to stay somewhere special this is the place for you!

The view, especially the sunsets, cannot be beat in this adorable Maine island cottage.

Clean, quiet, cozy, light, bright cottage right on the ocean/harbor. We truly enjoyed our stay "off-the-grid". If you are looking to unplug (literally), this is the place for you.

I chose this property specifically because I wanted my kids to spend time away from their phones and gaming. While there is limited cell signal, for the most part the kids spent our vacation hiking, exploring, playing by the bay, reading, board games, puzzles, and creating art. Odette surprised us with a boat trip around the island which turned out to be one of the highlights - especially seeing the wild seals! The adults enjoyed coffee or wine on the deck, and watching the sunsets over the bay. The night sky is simply breathtaking. As we got ready to leave, my 13 y/o said "that was a lot more fun than I expected!" Success! The cabin itself felt very clean, tidy, and cozy. We found there was generally enough electricity for charging our phones and using one or two lights for a few hours in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked (consider bringing your own sharp kitchen knife). The wood stove provides ample heat when needed and also serves as a gathering place to watch the fire in the evenings. The beds felt clean and comfortable. There is a compost toilet which is also very clean and easy to use. Plan to take quick showers mid day at high sun for the hot water. We left the island 2-3 times over the course of our two week stay in order to restock groceries, eat lobster, and explore the surrounding towns. It was easy to schedule this ahead of time with Odette. Overall it was a fun, relaxing trip and my family would all be excited to return!

My husband and two children stayed at Odette's property and had an absolutely lovely stay. It was a wonderful place to unplug and just have some slow days together. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. My children are 9 and 7 and loved jumping off the dock and swimming in the ocean, reading on the rocks and playing games in the cabin. It was perfect. We did a lot of planning to make sure we had all the food we needed, and found the composting toilet or solar power simple to use. Odette and her family were very welcoming, and even took us on an extra boat ride to go to the town dock for lobsters. They shared their very special place with us, and we could not be more grateful! We hope to make this a regular part of our summer in the future!

Yes, it is off the grid. If you like to explore the very beautiful mossy wilderness and never worry about being lost! You are on an island!

We had a very relaxing stay at the cabin. Odette and Bill, as well as their niece, Danielle, were courteous, helpful and friendly. The facilities were perfect and the view is amazing. We had all our meals on the deck, spent the evenings relaxing by the woodstove and enjoying the quiet. It is truly off the grid. We enjoyed the break from technology and the hectic pace of the outside world. The cabin sits in eyesight of about 5 cabins all of which are relatives of the owner. They are connected by footpaths, There is always help nearby. If you plan to explore further on the island, keep in mind that the ground is very spongy and mossy and there is no easy route to the main trails from the cabin. We would absolutely return to this peaceful getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Friendship Long Island. Odette and Bill were wonderful hosts and answered any questions that we had. They were happy to share the joys of their island home and their years of knowledge of the island and the area. The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped with more supplies than we would ever need. The only thing missing was wine glasses. The cottage is located in the woods with a beautiful view of the ocean. We started every day with coffee on the deck and ended with cocktails watching the sunset. We can't wait to get back to the coast of Maine.
