Falmouth 3br near Town landing

AlikiRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Valle and David were the perfect hosts and we had an amazing stay. We also got to use the hot tub which was such a treat in the cold weather. Dave and Valle went above and beyond - from leaving little chocolates treats for us to enjoy upon check-in, to very thoughtfully offering to extend our stay for a few hours until the roads cleared out from a the overnight snow storm. Thank you Valle and Dave!

Place was dated but nice. We found it a little small for our family of 4. Overall is was a good place to stay if you aren't spending much time in doors.

Cottage style home 2 blocks from the beach!

KatieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a wonderful girl's trip staying in Diana's house! We walked to the beach and to Scratch bakery (twice). The house was perfect for the five of us with a great sitting area to hang out and chat. The house was clean and the instructions for cleaning up were easy to follow.

Family/Friends Getaway Hidden on Mt Desert Island

KevinRating, 5 stars6 months ago
"From my daughter: This is our 3rd trip to Acadia National Park, but the first time at this Air B&b. Originally it was supposed to be for 5 of us, but 3 couldn't make it, so it ended up just being my husband and I. The Air B&b is in a remote enough area that it is nice and peaceful, but still an easy 20-30 minute drive to almost anywhere on Mt. desert island. The house has so many thoughtful touches, like an area outside for a campfire, supplies for smores, basic seasoning and condiments, all the light switches labeled (so thankful for that!), etc. We did a grocery run our first day and came back to the house for almost all our meals. This was a cozy place and we'd recommend to anyone visiting Mt. Desert Island and would return here again if we come back in the future."

Kennebunkport House - Walk to Dock Square!

MaryRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay! The house was in a perfect location; peaceful, private, and still just a short walk to dinner spots, which made everything so easy. There was plenty of space for lounging and gathering, and more than enough bathrooms for everyone (a huge plus!). The house had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. Cozy, quiet, and super comfortable; we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.

York River's Private Escape

TonjaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a lovely weekend at Debbie's home! It was immaculate and very welcoming. The place is located right off the main road but is secluded. The weather wasn't great so we didn't get to enjoy the grill or outdoor setup but it looked very nice. The kitchen was amazing! All the equipment was in great condition and as a cook, was everything I wanted. Close to everything York has to offer! Great for families or a couple with a dog like us. Highly recommend!

Tranquility, Relaxation, Family, Romance

MaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A very quiet, laid back, and peaceful get-away awaited me, my husband, and our dog, Isaac. Kathy's home is tastefully decorated and very inviting. It sets back from the main road, so sleeping is heavenly. Isaac loved safely exploring the outdoors in the very spacious fenced in yard which is easily accessible from the home. A great place if you are looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of every day life! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, Kathy!

Cozy Contemporary River's Edge Retreat

JulieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Based on the condo alone, I would give James 10 stars! The amenities were as listed and there were many extras (linens, towels, toilet paper). Heat and AC in EACH bedroom and the living area. It was clean and the appliances/dishes/silverware looked brand new. It was in a great location within walking and driving distance to shopping and restaurants. There has been a negative review regarding the neighbors who also live in this 4 unit building. These neighbors are not excessively loud or doing anything beyond normal living. However, from the 2nd bedroom, you can hear them walking, talking, vacuuming, entering/leaving their condo. James has been proactive about this concern and has included a noise machine and large fan in this bedroom. I wanted to address this in my review to say that I was still able to get a great night’s sleep and the noise was not late in the night or early morning. My sister and I enjoyed our stay here very much!!

HotTub/5min to K-port, Pet friendly, @anchorunwind

KalilaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Such a lovely and peaceful home. The upstairs loft felt like sleeping in a treehouse. So many thoughtful touches throughout the entire house. The kitchen was well equipped with great appliances and supplies. Truly one of the best equipped and comfortable air bnbs we have ever stayed in. We did not use the hot tub but we really loved the whole outdoor space and the amount of windows which we opened on the warm day. Such a wonderful way to have all the comforts of home with the best part of being in nature. We even saw wild turkeys run through the property several times. We cannot wait to come back!

Skipping Stone on Frenchman's Bay Weekly Rental

DonaldRating, 5 stars6 months ago
A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Beth was wonderful to deal with and very communicative. She kept in touch with us prior to our trip, and she patiently answered any questions we had during the trip. The views from the patio and living room are fantastic, and the area is very quiet. Both the Park and Bar Harbor are a short drive a way. This is a great place to stay on a trip to Bar Harbor.

Summer Vacation Rental with 3 beds/2 bath

CathyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This place is within walking distance to the beach, miniature golf, restaurants, an amusement park and a place that will steam lobsters for you. We went to the lobster place twice to bring these large beauties home. 1 bathroom was upstair with the bedrooms, and 1 downstairs. There is a picnic table for outdoor dining. Our family of 4 adults and 2 children had a great vacation with weather in the 70s and being from Texas where the temperature was 100+, it was heaven.

Cozy Home on Orland River

VioletaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We enjoyed our first day with beautiful views overlooking the Orland River. Period we spent pleasurable mornings and evenings on the deck between the river and the peak autumn foliage. The cottage has a well-stocked kitchen; the beds were comfortable and the ambiance was cozy and rustic. It is within an hour drive to Acadia, or Belfast. Lots to do, especially if you’re a nature lover. Another plus was how friendly, responsive, and proactive Matthew was. It was a pleasure having him as our host. Hope to come again.

Feb/April school breaks available. 8 bedrooms

RoniRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was our 4th year staying at Sandy Cove to celebrate Christmas with our entire family. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate overnight stays. We love the 2 dining room tables and refrigerators. We had a small issue with a clog in the kitchen sink. I reached out to Mike and he sent someone over to fix it within a few hours. We hope to stay again next year!

Your guide to Maine

All About Maine

Located on the northeastern tip of the Atlantic Coast, the state of Maine is the epitome of New England charm, with rugged coastlines giving way to an endless expanse of ocean and lighthouses and lobster boats dotting the horizon. For the outdoor adventurer, Maine’s wilderness is nothing short of breathtaking: Trek through the rocky red cliffs of Acadia National Park, cool off in year-round ice caves in Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area, and take a dip in the alpine pond on Tumbledown Mountain.

You can spend endless hours breathing in the fresh sea air here. For those more inclined to a city break, Maine has some of the most charming coastal towns around, starting with its biggest city, Portland. Stock up on local artisan wares, sample an up-and-coming restaurant scene, and peruse vintage and antiques shops brimming with treasures. However you choose to spend your time here, one thing is non-negotiable: Make sure to save space in your itinerary to sample Maine lobster in all its freshly-caught glory.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Maine

Maine’s full four seasons are part of what makes this state so beautiful. When to visit depends entirely on what you’re coming here to do. Maine rentals on the beach fill up fast in the summer (so book ahead), but with good reason: the weather is typically warm, the beaches are beautiful, and there is no shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy. Late spring and early autumn are good choices if you want to skip some of the crowds but still take advantage of nice weather for walking, hiking, and boating. Fall is possibly the most beautiful time to visit, as the forests break out in shades of reds, orange, and gold, though you risk the chance of rain or even snow in later months. In the winter, temperatures drop and blankets of snow turn the mountains into a skier or snowboarder’s paradise.


Top things to do in Maine

Lighthouses

Maine’s lighthouses have been important navigational points and welcoming safe havens to seafaring folk for 200 years. Many of these 65 landmark lighthouses are open to the public for tours — some house quaint museums, others can be climbed for panoramic coastal views. As you make your way throughout the state, keep your eye out for them; even if just from afar, they’re postcard-perfect sights to see.

Eat lobster

From inventive farm-to-table fare in Portland’s best restaurants, to piping hot bowls of clam chowder, bean suppers, clambakes, and craft beers, Maine’s local culinary scene is nothing short of drool-worthy. Still, there is one food that rules them all: lobster. Lobster rolls, steamed lobster, boiled lobster, grilled lobster — no matter the preparation, nothing beats eating it here, straight from the sea.

Acadia National Park

Maine is beautiful any which way you look, but Acadia National Park is perhaps the most beautiful corner of the state. From the heritage-protected Merchant Row islands famous for their granite, to learning about the homeland of the Wabanaki indigenous people, to lush forests painted in all the colors of fall, there are endless trails and treks to discover.
