This was the perfect little cottage for our 3-night trip with friends! The house had a couple of issues, like an empty propane tank when we arrived, broken dishwasher, and some stained/outdated furniture, but you can't beat the sweeping views, two decks, and easy walk down to the water's edge. We saw seals and porpoises every day, and enjoyed paddle-boarding and swimming right from the house. It's a cute little island and an easy drive into Wiscasset. The house could use a little TLC, and I wish they had updated us on the status of the dishwasher and checked that there was propane as promised, but we'd stay here again!

We got to the home and it was not as described in photos.  The left side of roof was covered with moss and there were dead branches all over it.  The front door was covered in cobwebs.  Rusty nail sticking up from the threshold molding entering the kitchen.  Also that threshold was not flat to the floor so it’s a tripping hazard. There is an overwhelming smell of mold/mildew/musty odor.  The sliders and window to open them and they were all covered in dead bugs and cobwebs. The window screens were warped and some did not line up. One of the sliders as well as one of each sliding window was fogged over with a film. This foggy film would not dissipate after airing the place out. There was a putrid/foul smell coming from the cabinet under the kitchen sink.  The furniture was torn and dirty. There is a teak table on the deck which was broken and unusable. There were cobwebs on the ceiling in common area and bedrooms. The beds were so uncomfortable, box springs had rips in it. The lower level smells worse than the upstairs with the same foggy, cobweb covered windows and slider. The fans in the house were covered in grey dust. I’d be happy to share photos if needed.

We loved that this is off the beaten path so no traffic noice or machinery but only about 20 minutes to most places and easy access to farther places Because of where it is we had no problems finding restaurants on the water with patios and views. Any issues I had were handled right away (we couldn't figure out how to turn on the shower and they were going to send someone out right away before we realized you pull down on the faucet lol) Looks just like the picture, comfy furniture including the beds and views to die for. Would definitely recommend it to others. Such a pretty place and lots of dishes, plates silverware, cups etc in the kitchen so that was nice. So many windows made it bright and beautiful views from anywhere in the house. Nice living room downstairs also with smart TV so you can watch anything you like. Only negative was the door lock... Why 10 numbers?

We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the cottage. Kitchen was well stocked. Bath had nice water pressure and plenty of hot water for 2 of us. Beds were comfy. We didn’t use the lower floor at all and would have liked a tv/couch upstairs. The beauty of this place is the huge windows and views of the water. Lots of sea birds including a bald eagle that perched right above us. Quite a sight to wake up to. Saw a seal chasing fish and fisherman pulling traps. We got two nights of storms (and lost power for a couple hours) but the days were warm and sunny. Even in the 80s the house stays cool under the trees and constant breeze. It was a bit of a drive to get up to the main road but the seclusion is worth it. The driveway is tight and turning around requires your full attention. Loved Boothbay, the botanical gardens and the Montsweag restaurant. Would stay here again.

Beautiful property. Saw seals from living room catching fish. Front door did not lock but it’s a safe neighborhood but a bit isolated. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Laundry facilities were a great help! Gorgeous views of the water and excellent service and communication.

If you have any kind of allergies or are sensitive to mold/mildew smells, this home is not for you! The home is built on a huge rock on the water’s edge. So it is extremely damp and has a horrible odor. We booked it for three nights and were unable to stay even a single night. The property manager (Vacasa) responded quickly when we notified them with our concerns upon check in and seemed understanding of our dilemma. However, they only offered to refund our cleaning fee (aka very minimal refund) when we told them we could not stay. The home is in desperate need of multiple dehumidifiers, fans, DampRid, etc. There is a huge, old looking dehumidifier in the living room. But there is a “Do Not Use” label on it. Other things to know… Description of property has dishwasher listed as amenity. But again, there is a “Do Not Use" label on it. The home was not maintained to our standards… Appliances not working, rusty shower rod, furniture stained and frayed, no screen on sliding door, windows fogged, only a couple of windows were operational and many bugs and spider webs inside the home. We have many more minor complaints and would not recommend this rental to anyone.

We needed a quiet place to visit with elderly aunt and uncle. This was a great place with all the living space on the same floor with spacious area to visit.

House was nice, beds were comfy. The dishwasher and TV didn’t work
