Great Maine time
What a relaxing and appropriate Maine experience. A quiet oceanside escape. The management team at Vacasa was exceptional; proactive and almost immediately reponsive. A very positive experience.

Private spot with easy access to the Harbor
We loved this place and hope to come back. Nestled in the trees with daily sunset shows, it is a beautiful spot to get away. You can walk to the General Store which has pretty much everything you need, walk to the beach (although both were more of a bike ride for me). That said, you can drive to Boothbay Harbor in about 15 mins. Perfect combination of peace and fun. Loved it. The 2 house set up allowed a 2nd couple privacy.

Nice stay!
Easy access property! Very private! The notes specify no A/C but it does not mention heat. There are baseboard electric heaters in the main house and cabin.

Very relaxing!
We loved the house and property! The house is rustic but was very clean and the check in process was a breeze. The property is amazing, right on the ocean. We walked down to the ocean easily and listened to the waves all night. You can also walk to Hendricks Head beach and Southport General Store from the house. It’s a lovely area. Description of the house is very accurate. Thanks for a great stay!

House by the water
It was a nice quiet place by the water. It was a big enough place for a lot of people. I enjoyed the house.

Picturesque Waterfront Maine Retreat
This cute home is down a long dirt driveway through a pine and moss forest. This is a quiet location in a simple and old fashioned Maine home on a beautiful rocky beach. The pictures are accurate and the bright living and dining area overlook the ocean. It's the perfect spot to watch the sun go down and see lobster boats haul traps. We had a couple of small issues. The locks on all the doors are not easy to use and took us a few tries to get into the place. There were no instructions on how to get into the little cottage. We had to call Vacasa, We got a call back from a caretaker who was very nice and let us know what to do. The main house smells a little musty probably from being closed up all winter. We couldn't get the TV to work either but we enjoyed just being there and playing some board games. We tried to use the fireplace but the wood was too damp and wouldn't 'burn. However, the place is charming and has an old Maine feel where life is simple and easygoing. A grill would be an excellent addition on the deck. The Southport general store and the beach/lighthouse is a short walk away. We throughly enjoyed it and would go back.

Delightful property
My husband and I needed to ‘get away’ and this home provided cozy comforting decor, warmth, privacy and a great view. Bathroom tiny, but big enough for us two. We did not use the guest cottage. We would love to come back.
