It was very cool to stay over the water and to be able to walk down and sit out on the deck and the floating deck. The property is located on a very busy road and it is very easy to drive by the property. The parking is tight. Otherwise lovely stay.

Perfect location
This rental was perfect for my husband and I to stay in while visiting family in the area. The cabin itself had everything we needed, including a large and very comfortable bed! Proximity to Cooks Corner made picking up groceries or take-out so easy. The check-in process was simple, and communication with the host was great. I accidentally left my kindle behind, and they were kind enough to reach out and mail it to me! Our only wish was that parking was more plentiful so that our family could have more easily come to see us on site.

Maine by the sea
Very clean, host has all that is needed for a comfortable stay. The view and morning sunrise was beautiful. The fact that it was pet friendly was awesome. Sitting on the deck watching the wildlife was so relaxing. Ease of access to Islands and main Thruways was a bonus. I was abit suprised when I pulled in and saw a motel like establishment. The pictures of the boathouse were accurate, not surrounding 4 motel like rooms.

Getaway
We so enjoyed staying in the open, light filled Boathouse. The highlight was the nightly visit to our dock by the Great Blue heron, who enjoyed fishing off the dock. Also loved watching the terns, egret, and bald eagles!

Amazing Property and Amazing Hosts
I don’t think it’s possible for me to express how amazing of an experience I had staying at Anna’s place. The property itself was spacious and clean. It has everything you could possibly need for cooking, bathing, and lounging. They provided coffee, snacks, and toiletries.The views are absolutely incredible. We saw a lobster boat picking up traps in the morning and a seal on our kayak. In addition to the amazing property, these hosts are just good people that truly care about the people staying at their property. Anna was extremely responsive and went out of her way to help us out in a tough situation. I can’t recommend staying here more. Thank you!!

Windows all around with beautiful views
This unique property features three walls of windows for enjoying the beauty of the water, sky, trees around you.
Relax inside or out while watching the birds and boaters.
Everything you need is inside, including a fully furnished kitchen and a bathroom with generous samples of anything you might have forgotten. Our time here was very relaxing and the view was hard to leave.

Great communication, quite place, would stay again
Great place to stay. In a very quiet area, with beautiful views of the cove. Next to some delapidated apartments with boarded up windows, which threw me off a bit, but the place itself was nice and other homes next to it and in the area were also nice and well maintained, so not a bad area overall.
The host was great to communicate with and very responsive with a problem I had and was able to remedy myself. I greatly appreciate that.
Very close to multiple grocery stores and shopping for anything you may need.

One of a kind stay on the water
So dreamy! This boathouse really makes you feel like you’re floating on water, with gorgeous views of the harbor from all sides. The hosts were so sweet - they clearly love where they live and take pride in their home. The kitchen was well stocked - there were snacks available which was a nice touch. Plenty of clean towels with a washer and dryer available to use. The wow-factor is that you have direct, private ocean access. The sliding door opens up to a small deck with a ramp that takes you down to the water. The float/dock had two lounge chairs set up, plus two kayaks available - it’s a quiet harbor with picturesque, quintessential Maine views. I loved sipping my coffee, watching the lobster boats come and go and herons flying across the sky. Honesty, this is my dream home - I only wish I could’ve stayed longer. The location is perfection.
With that said, the one and only improvement I would make would be a mattress upgrade - I didn’t lose sleep over it, but it could’ve been comfier. Even so, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Lovely Renovated Boat House...a Few Issues
Lovely renovated boat house. I will say that if you have mobility issues, this is not the home for you. The windows in the house look out onto the water and I loved pulling the blinds up. Coffee and cream was provided. Linens and blankets were fresh and smelled great.
The issue is the neighboring property and the wifi. You have to pull into a parking space in an apartment unit with some pretty wild characters. Not the owners fault. The wifi was non-existent though. I planned to get some work done on vacation and I just couldn't get a signal. This may not be an issue for others who do not need a connection during vacation.
Good communication other than the wifi stuff...beautiful water views.

Good stay!
The home is large and spacious, also right on the water! The space was clean and equipped with everything you could need on vacation, even a new laundry machine. The location is also superb for exploring many coastal towns both North and South. The only drawbacks are that the water is not very swimmable and the furnishings are quite outdated. Despite these minor cons, we would definitely recommend this to others.
