You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day!'') could be the place for you! This classic, quintessential 1930s bungalow was renovated in 2010 featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an updated kitchen with a gourmet range. Curl up on the living room's cozy sofa and stream the season finale of your favorite series on the smart TV. The free high-speed WiFi allows streaming with no issue and will be ideal to update your social media and stay in touch with your loved ones back home.
Perched on the side of the hill in the quaint village of Spruce Head Island, overlooking the harbor with expansive views of the ocean and surrounding islands. Beautiful perennial gardens abound; no need for artwork on the walls; simply look out your front windows for a beautiful and ever-changing canvas! Or relax on the covered porch to the sights and sounds of this classic working waterfront. Enjoy the simple pleasures of life - vacationing in Maine, the fresh salt air, and the sunshine!

Quiet fishing town with a gorgeous view
This cottage was adorable and cozy with two bedrooms in a quiet town. We loved it so much that we will book this cottage again in the future. Bonus: there's an oyster shop called Aphrodite Oysters down the street with fresh and delicious oysters.

Quaint but could be cozier.
The cottage is cute, view very pretty, very clean and well equipped. Lots of supplies for cooking (spices, wrap/paper products) but the sofa was in need of replacing (cushions were flattened/lumpy) as were the mattresses. We were looking forward to a little relaxation one of the days( Sunday football anyone?) but the reality is we departed early. The laundry area in the garage was very convenient and well organized and the outdoor fit pit area was great(someone is an avid gardener and does a lovely job with the landscaping but it was a shame we weren’t allowed to use the outdoor fire pit. Very close to Rockland which was great. We’d be back in heartbeat if the furnishings were renewed and could use the fire pit. Thank you.

Terrible stay
We left early as one night was more than enough. The place is located a half block from a processing plant that had loud cooler motors going 24 hours a day, plus big trucks passing within 20 feet on the road. It was awful. On top of that there is mildew in the basement seeping into the upper level creating a toxic environment, plus the TV didn't work. We left early and forfeited one night which both VRBO and Vacasa say can't be refunded even though we informed Vacasa that morning. VRBO tells us we needed to inform them, as if they have no communication with Vacasa.
I won't use either one ever again, and I absolutely advise against staying in that location.

Very nice cottage in a small village
We enjoyed our stay here. Cottage was clean and well appointed. Loved the front porch. It was busy with lobster processing traffic going by but not so much that it was a problem. Two issues that were not good: no wifi. Zip .Zero. No internet service n this day and age is not acceptable. (which we were supposed to have according to the website.) Phoned the number provided. Zero response. V bad in my opinion. Second the fire dept was prepping to burn an abandoned house next door so there were chain saws and wood chippers every day. At least they stopped at night. To me the worst is that was no way to communicate to our landlords. Might not do Vacasa another time.

For a small cottage it was spacious, had modern amenities. The listing says harbor view but you have to look thru power lines, power poles and a lobster processing plant. The side stone steps are overgrown with vegetation making it hard to maneuver. All in all a good experience.

Adorable Cottage
My husband and I decided to go away spur of the moment and discovered this adorable beach cottage in South Thomaston Maine. The cottage was in a quiet neighbor hood and was clean and cozy. The front porch had a ocean view and the sea breeze was refreshing. Beds were very comfortable and fully stocked kitchen was a plus. The WIFI was spotty at times however it wasn't a big deal. The best part was McLoon's seafood shack, which was a short walk from the cottage and had the best lobster and ocean views ever. We enjoyed this cottage immensely and would definitely return in the future.

Cozy, comfy, busy
Had the good old field of what we always called a "camp." Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and glassware, etc.
The lobster processing facility made for a bit of noise and a pretty steady stream of traffic. A lot of trucks, from pickups to semis coming in and out. Didn't really bother us a whole lot but it might bother other people. Overall the view of the water was pretty nice except for the power lines and there's not much that can be done about that. Have to have electricity after all.
