Make this family-friendly cottage your summer spot
Jessica was very communicative and her place was in a great location to access the area’s attractions. A comfortable home away from home. We enjoyed the pool and wish we had stayed longer. Thank you!

Freshly Renovated, Family-Friendly Coastal Cottage
My family and I loved staying at the Seaholly cottage. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was decorated beautifully. Lexi was very considerate when stocking the bathroom with every toiletry you could possibly need. The cottage is in the perfect location and very close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommend staying at the Seaholly Cottage! You won't be disappointed! My family and I can't wait to book with Lexi again. We had a great vacation!

Maine Lakehouse, 3 Bedrooms, 2 baths, waterfront
A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

Hot Tub - Walk to the Beach - Mins to Mtns - Lakes
I had a nice stay at Alexa's. It's beautiful, quiet and ideal to get some rest while being surronded with nature. The best!

Paradise Found Minutes from Ogunquit | Heated Pool
I truly can’t say enough positives about Stephanie’s place! First, the cottage looks even better in person. Second, the little details make all the difference from the quick response time, welcome card and lobster bag, a very informative welcome binder, and a fully stocked home which when added together, felt like OUR home! Some who is walker bound, found the property to have comfort height counters and toilet in the bathroom, two anti slip step stools to get into the bed if you’re short like myself, and remotes for everything (including instructions to use everything in the binder). If you think you need it, Stephanie supplied it from board games, lobster pot, cocktail kit, to a crockpot and a Bose speaker in the kitchen. There was a rainy day so afternoon vacay naps listening to music was a vacation-like you can get! Only suggestion would be there are closets in the bedroom but they have shelves. There are no places for hanged clothing. Bring some hangers, use hooks on bathroom door!

Fully Renovated/4min to K-port/HotTub/Game Room
Great clean air bnb. Accurately as described.. looks good in photos but even better in-person. Bed was comfortable. Would rent their properties again.

The Loon Nest, Waterfront Lake House, Wood Hot Tub
Nice welcome basket with snacks and water bottles in each room with plenty of towels. It is very quiet and peaceful at the camp. It is great for relaxing and hanging out and there are places to eat just a few miles away. I would not stay here if I were looking for a place to swim, while it’s a beautiful water view, the shore is tiny and the vegetation in the water is too thick and slimy to swim. Beautiful sunsets over the water. If you are looking for a quiet, slightly rustic camp in the woods with waterfront views then you won’t be disappointed here.

Cottage in Wells Maine
Great cottage with a perfect location. Not too close to the ocean but close enough. Grocery stores and other shops within a mile radius. 10-20 miles gets you to many other small Maine locations.

#1 Cozy cottage minutes from the beach!
We had a great stay for a few days on our way to Nova Scotia. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed.

Cottage with antique charm view & river HSI Wi-Fi
The cottage was an excellent place to stay, a clean comfy environment with a wonderful yard.

White Pine Cottage
Beautiful home on a lovely property. We felt right at home and wish we could have stayed longer. It was an incredible space and we look forward to returning.

Plum Island Sunset Cottage
We had a wonderful stay. 6 ladies coming together to celebrate a birthday,catch up on eachother's news, enjoy meals together by the sea, and relax. The setting and house were perfect for us. Spotlessly clean and cheerful, beautifully equipeed with extra everythings, well located close to the beach, the nature reserve and the center and surrounded by lovely views. The beds were comfy and the whole house felt like a longstanding part of the community yet newly renovated throughout and very welcoming. Amanda, our host, was warm and responsive and attentive to our needs. We'd be happy to return for another gettogether!

Lakefront cottage for a fun, relaxing getaway.
Extremely clean lake house with stunning views and all the comforts of home. Many sweet touches throughout the three bedroom house and fully appointed kitchen. Wishing we had more time to stay, relax, and enjoy the water, but would highly recommend this Air B&B! PS. I appreciated the railings along the steps down to the house, having had a recent knee replacement.

Sunset Haven - Little Sebago Lake
We really enjoyed Elizabeth's house. It was beautiful and peaceful. The dock and beach were great. Communication was awesome! would loved to stay stay again.

Lakefront Nature Getaway - Wood fired Cedar Sauna
Cozy spot with scenic views of Silver Lake. Our host Eric was responsive and provided detailed instructions on how to access the space and all of the perks included with the rental. Will definitely rebook if I ever find myself back in the area.

Cozy Cottage on Highland Lake
Perfect little Maine cabin getaway! We enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin was clean, easy to find, and had everything we needed for four people and two dogs. Cannot recommend enough!

Portsmouth Waterfront Cottage
Larry's place was beautiful. There was a great view of the inlet from both downstairs and upstairs. It's within walking distance to downtown Portsmouth, which is great because parking can be tricky in town. But we had a long day driving so we just enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and relaxing. Having a bedroom with living room upstairs AND downstairs was perfect as it afforded my daughter and I each our own space. The only problem was we didn't have more than one night to stay!

Great for families, steps to beach, lots of space
Mel’s place was great! It was amazing to get ready for my wedding and had plenty of room for bridal party and hair/makeup stylists. Mel was great at communicating and had very timely responses

Relaxing Beach Bungalow Steps from the Beach
We had a great time at Flip Flop and would recommend. It is so close to the beach and the welcome book had great restaurant recommendations. The Beach Plums clam chowder was especially good. The drive to Portsmouth or Rye is just 12 minutes or so. So much to do in the city for first timers! We were doing family research in the area and it was a lovely way to spend time together. Our great grandfather was a shoaler so we were surprised to look out on a clear day and see the Isles of Shoals. Thank you Carrie for your responsiveness!

Cottage with stunning ocean view and private beach
Lovely location and beautifully renovated home. Kitchen well appointed. Beds comfortable. Host very responsive. Would return.

Romantic waterfront cottage for two in Maine
Perfect place to get away and relax. We enjoyed fishing in the morning and evening and sight seeing during the day. Quick trips into Portland, Kennebunkport, Freeport, and the Maine Botanical Gardens (highly recommended ). Locally we enjoyed the Maine Wildlife Park and u-pick strawberries. Picked up some wonderful seafood at Bob’s in Windham to cook in the well supplied kitchen. Mary Ellen and Brian have thought of the many little things that make the cottage a hospitable place. They answered our questions promptly leading up to our trip.

Waterfront Cottage on Chauncey Creek
This Airbnb is an absolute hidden gem! It is a peaceful spot surrounded by nature in an convenient location. Inside, it's cozy and feels just like home. It’s very clean, the bed is extremely comfortable, and it’s very quiet. The spacious outdoor area is a dream, offering so many spots to sit with loved ones right by the water, from the fire pit to the dock and deck. The photos don't even begin to capture its beauty. We made lifelong memories in the backyard. The surrounding towns are packed with natural beauty and history, there is so much to do and so many lobster rolls to be eaten (I probably gained a few pounds exploring all the delicious food in Portsmouth). Andrew was an incredibly responsive and helpful host, full of good recs and making the whole experience seamless. The check out process was especially easy compared to some of my recent Airbnb’s, it was really nice being able to check out of an without having to do a laundry list of chores first 😅

Seaside Serenity 2 - Oceanfront
We had a wonderful stay in Ogunquit! The views are AMAZING!! The space is very clean and exactly as described. So many great shops and restaurants right outside your door. Comfortable bed and great shower. It was a fun little getaway for me and my husband and our 3 month old.

Ocean View Cottage on Cape Neddick Beach
We stayed at this property for 6 weeks with our dog and loved it. The neighborhood is gorgeous, walkable, and has the perfect beach for pup play. Owners are on-site, friendly, and quick to respond. The carriage house was very clean and as beautiful as pictured. We would certainly stay here again.
