When we arrived it was very late, almost 1am. There were no lights on at all so that was a bit inconvenient, but we found our way in after a few minutes with our phone flashlights. I suppose I should’ve let the host know we wouldn’t be in until late so they could leave one on for us. Incase you didn’t read all the amenities like myself- there is no air conditioning or central lights. There are plenty of lamps around to light the way though! This actually added to the cute vintage vibes of the house so we didn’t mind. They have a few stand alone fans to circulate air so this was nice given the no central AC. The house was not “dirty” by any means but there were occupied cobwebs in almost every corner. But like I said, the house was cleaned other than this. The kitchen was fully stocked with any and all equipment you’d need to cook a full meal plus dessert from lobster forks to hand mixers! We really appreciated this kitchen setup as it made making a home cooked meal so convenient which in turn made our stay feel that much cozier. The water access in the backyard was so beautiful and made it even easier to wake up in the mornings. We especially loved low tide so we could go out looking for shells with our 2 year old. The house is in a really good location, it’s about a 10 minute drive to anywhere you’d need but the drive never even felt that long. Overall, we’d stay here again in a heartbeat just read all the amenities and you’ll be good!

Tidal River Retreat That Needs WorkOur 1-week rental in summer was disappointing.We found at our arrival that the bottom of the refrigerator was filled with water, and we had to empty pooled water from the fridge almost daily. Some of our produce was ruined by dirty dripping water. A dehumidifier was full of water when we entered. We ran it from time to time and we emptied it 4 times during the week.The tap water has a rotten-eggs odor, making it unpleasant to wash dishes with or to bathe with, but there was no note about water usage. The owner should invest in a filtration system. We hauled in water jugs.There were no outdoor dining options (A table under a shed was filthy; a heavy picnic table was shoved off into a weedy area at the property’s edge.)Too many windows (including the big sliding door in the living area that faces the water) were missing screens – can’t take advantage of cross breezes.There was no functioning coffee pot.The second bedroom was too musty to use – unfortunate, because it was the only place with good lighting for reading.Limited water access.No dishwasher, and the kitchen area is oddly lacking in overhead lighting of any kind.The location of this place in a quiet area on a tidal river has potential, but the owner and Vacasa agency need to care more about making it more comfortable and fully usable for vacation renters. We didn’t expect luxury, but we also didn’t expect, at this price, for it to be more like a “camp” near the water.

Annual Maine Vacation

Property and location was great for us, especially nice when high tide! Very quiet and private location. Perfect with our little dog.Linens and towels were fresh and clean. The house is a pretty nice camp, which is what we love. It just needs a little spring cleaning, and needs screens on more of the windows.

Liked having the cottage to our selves and home like feeling. The only thing that was not there was a outdoors firepit or fireplace to enjoy more of the outdoors but we loved it and might even try to get back soon
