Lovely house and host - this was a great spot for a 2-week stay with my family, and Mark was in touch to make sure we had everything we needed, even helping out with finding a high chair for our infant and dropping off new potholders when I had trouble finding them myself. Very easy kitchen to cook in which was so helpful given the length of our stay, also really enjoyed ordering food from Coveside restaurant right down the road to bring back to eat on the porch while looking out at the boats coming and going. Great spot to enjoy both sunny and rainy weather given all the comfortable seating on the outside and inside porches. Thank you so much to Mark and his family for being such great hosts!

The cottage was spacious and comfortable, boasting beautiful Maine charm, an amazing deck, and a view to die for. The owner had excellent communication and we highly recommend this property! We will definitely be booking again!

We all had a very enjoyable week. We spent the week with friends and our small dog. We have been to the Boothbay area 5 times now. It's nice to get a little further away from the town.

The Firs is the quintessential property for a relaxing stay in Christmas Cove - beautiful views from the front porch and only steps away from Coveside. Rustic and charming.

A very magical and fun place where my family vacations in the summer.the Firs house is all part of the experience I'll be soon for lobsters and dark and stormies at the coveside inn.which is in a short walking distance.

The interior is pretty quirky but fun and comfortable. The front porch has a fabulous view of Christmas Cove with the Atlantic Ocean in the distance. There are great nature trails nearby for walks. It is also close (100 yards?) to a nice restaurant with music on the weekends. It was a great place to have our wildly scattered family visit, relax, and enjoy each other.

The Firs overlooks Christmas Cove and the view is beautiful and interesting. Motor and sail boats come into and out of the cove. There are fishing birds and people walkIng. We spent hours on the comfortable porch reading and watching the activity. The Coveside Restaurant is almost across the street and they have a variety of lunch/dinner options for carnivores and vegetarians. I was impressed because they offer organic lettuce in their salads, a winner for me. We found Pemaquid Beach which is lovely for hot afternoons. The house has a large kitchen which is convenient for a group. It is an updated beach cottage with mostly wooden interior walls, no sheet rock. I prefer these houses for summer vacations. They are comfortable and somehow just right. The Firs has an enclosed porch for cooler days. We spent a rainy day there doing a puzzle. We also took walks in the cove area to find incredible views of the water. At the end of our week we had all enjoyed our vacation.

Wonderful family home right on Christmas Cove. Perfect for family vacation. Lots of room, very well appointed.
