Oceanview Escape near Maine Beaches

ShirleyRating, 5 stars6 months ago

What a cozy, beautifully furnished and decorated space. A lot of thought went into making guests feel they’re staying somewhere very special. We certainly did. The second floor apartment with its spacious deck had a view of the ocean and some spectacular sunrises. This was our first visit to Maine and we wanted somewhere central on the coast, like Owl’s Head. It was a good base to explore from. And there was lots to do close by. We were especially pleased to discover the Bernard Langlais art preserve only a few miles away. Rockland is ten minutes away and has a lot of great places to eat.

Rustic Chic Maine Cabin @Diagonair

MunirahRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Staying at Ann's cabin was a wonderful early fall getaway with a pleasant view from the back porch and great food and friendly people nearby. She was so helpful by providing different local places to visit and gave great instruction for getting to the cabin so we never got lost! The cabin is very cozy and charming and is the perfect place to recharge. I would be happy to visit again!

Milk House

AmyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What a cute little bungalow. A one room wonder. Milk House was easy to get to and had a couple walks to ocean views. Right on the main road but very quiet. We were prepared for the limited kitchen & were able to make 3 fabulous dinners. Get ready to unwind & unplug.

Dockside Retreat - 2025 booking quickly

dianeRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a delightful stay at this cozy, clean and comfortable home. The home was functional, well designed and had a great kitchen for cooking/gathering and was exceptionally well stocked. It was peaceful there with beautiful scenery where we spent many hours just relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Didn't go far from the house except to go for a cold water swim on Walker Beach which Samantha directed us to. We walked to the Olsen House/surrounding fields & down to the working wharfs where we were greeted by staff who shared information about the fishermen and sold us lobsters freshly caught. It was very hard for each of us to leave !! But, we left with fun memories and hopes to return one day. Thank you Samantha for being such a great host. Your place is special and your services outstanding. Diane

Island Getaway

MarkRating, 5 stars7 months ago

When we planned this vacation, we were looking for a location that provided serenity, a beautiful view, and walkable areas to totally relax from hectic year. Brad and Kathy's place far exceeded our expectations in every way. Their warmth, friendliness and helpfulness were felt throughout the week. Everything from attending yoga classes, golfing at North Haven and delicious fresh lobsters. It was a great experience and one that we certainly would re-visit in the future. Brad and Kathy are not just super hosts they are "super, super hosts!"

Island Getaway - 4BR House (Ocean Views)

KimRating, 5 stars6 months ago

It is an old house so don’t expect modern conveniences but the location is amazing. The town is easily within walking distance and there are fun things to do and see all around. The hosts directed us to 27 Fathoms where the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this location and this place.

Lupine Landing

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews6 months ago

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Noah's home is a little slice of paradise on the coast of Maine. It's private, cozy, and surrounded by stunning nature. We found the home very clean and well-cared for. My husband, children, and I spent a week unwinding at Noah's home and only wish we could have stayed longer. We particularly loved the fireplace, well-appointed kitchen, and the kayaks. Beds were super comfortable. Views were gorgeous and location perfect jumping off point to explore nearby Blue Hill and Deer Isle/Stonington. Highly recommend visiting during autumn. We can't wait to return!

Eastman's Seaside Cottage with Private Beach

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 68 reviews3 months ago

The views from the entire back of the house are incredible -- especially at sunset!! My family also really enjoyed the wood stove and ample wood supply on the cold, cold nights. The place is cozy while also being big enough to accommodate all of us with room to spare. And we really appreciated being able to visit with our pups!

Cliodhna's Cottage - Tiny Cottage Midcoast Maine!

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews6 months ago

This is a beautiful cottage in a very peaceful area in a super small town. Easy drive to many small towns throughout Maine from the Canadian border to Portland. Not a lot in the immediate area but within a min 20-30 minute drive, there's lots to do. The cottage is exactly like the pictures and was a joy to stay in. The host was amazing and very helpful with providing ideas for local activities and things to see. We spent two weeks and really enjoyed it!

"Nestled Inn" Cottage - With Direct Water Access

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews6 months ago

Our stay was magical! We’ve stayed in very nice AirBnb’s in Sonoma, Tulsa, Sedona, and elsewhere and this is simply our best, most romantic experience. The owners put care and thought into curating this space. They’ve thought of everything and their attention to detail is evident. It’s clear that they have the guests comfort in mind. Their care and genuine love of hospitality come through.

Mid-Century Modern walk to ocean

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews4 months ago

The house and space are welcoming and comfortable. The multiple levels of the living/dining/kitchen space are challenging for a person with mobility issues, but we managed, and it was worth the effort. The openness of that area and the light filled space on a sunny day are lovely. The artwork is stunning and plentiful! The kitchen is modern and well supplied. We were there Christmas week, cold and snowy, so we weren’t out much, but the area has excellent restaurants, and a really good cafe just across the street. It was a perfect place for us to stay and welcome other family members for time together during the holidays.

CENTER HARBOR HOUSE IN BEAUTIFUL BROOKLIN - VIEW!

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews6 months ago

We had a wonderful time staying at this house. The place is large (4 bedrooms), and has both a nice outdoor deck and a screened-in porch with windows (for when it got a bit too chilly). The view is great, and you only need to walk a few minutes to visit a small public beach. We cooked and grilled every night, and the kitchen is pretty well equipped for a vacation house. The wifi was great, as promised -- strong enough for a few video calls and three people remotely working. Brooklin was cute and the host and management company were both really responsive and proactive!

Downtown "NamaStay"

4.64 out of 5 average rating, 50 reviews8 months ago

Annie's place is a clean, well kept older home. We really appreciated her accommodating our early check in, so we could be on time for our tour. The home is well stocked with linens and towels and in a great location. We were able to walk to downtown with delicious restaurants and shops. Our family was happy to each have a bedroom to sleep comfortably, and having air conditioning as an amenity was very helpful in our decision to stay here. Thank you Annie for your suggestions and hospitality for our stay in Rockland :)

MASSIVE Oceanfront Dark Harbor Home on ISLESBORO

5 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews4 months ago

This house is very well designed and appointed for family gatherings. The kitchen is fabulous and allows a group to prep together and also be together. Having a butler's pantry and formal dining room made it even better. Having two other living spaces on the first floor was also nice to have time together and apart as we were a family of 6. Bedrooms are nicely appointed and the primary bedroom suite is huge and even has a sitting area. Location is perfect--right across from Dark Harbor and in a very walkable area.

Harrington Cove Cottage

AlyxandraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had an absolutely wonderful month long stay at this lovely cottage. Walter could not have been a more gracious host and so accommodating and caring when we had some trouble with our car in the winter weather, felt right at home! The nature is stunning and we can’t wait to come back in the summer sometime :)

Westerly Cottage at Oakland House

KenRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We spent a dreamy 5 nights at the Westerly Cottage and loved every minute. The cottage itself was perfect for our family of 4 with comfy beds, cozy living room, and a great kitchen out of which we cooked most of our meals. We were just steps away from the beach and our kids loved splashing around in the water and looking for sea shells. Sunsets over the water were world class and the water is perfect for swimming and skipping stones. Kayak rentals were easy to coordinate with the Oakland House main office and we enjoyed the adjacent hiking trail as well. The location was just what we were looking for - very quiet and serene but an easy drive to groceries/restaurants and just an hour or so away from Bar Harbor. This was an A+ stay for us and one of the most memorable family trips we've taken. We'd recommend Westerly and the Oakland House to anyone looking for the perfect Maine getaway.

Camden 4 BR w/ private tennis and freshwater dock

MikeRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Overall, Deb's place is very nice and served well as a home away from home. It was the best Airbnb that I've ever rented. The neighborhood is quiet and the road that runs by the house has little traffic (it's a dead-end). The kitchen was well stocked with appliances. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. It takes 10 min to get to downtown Camden. On the downside, the furnace had just broken before we got there and so it got a little cool. Further, we could not get the jacuzzi to work and the flooring is a little beat up. But, the positives drastically outweighed the negatives.
