We were a group of six adults and four kids (18 months - 6 years old) and everyone had a blast. The cottage is right on the water and on a dead-end street. Kids enjoyed building sand castles in the front yard and playing on the beach. House was perfect and cozy. We’ll be back!

Coming from Texas were temperatures were 110°, we were thrilled to be beach side in Maine. We had 4 adults and 3 kiddos under 10 with plenty of room to spare. One thing that we didn’t realize is, there was no air conditioning here, which I’m sure is needed in frequently. A couple of nights did get fairly warm, but plenty of box fans were provided the home was very clean with plenty of amenities. We were able to entertain family here for a couple of the days we were here and it was perfect. If I might make one suggestion. It was late when we arrived the first night and having the linens already prepared on the beds would’ve been helpful. We would highly recommend this location and may seek it out again for next year.

Wonderful property overlooking the ocean! Plenty of room for our family of 9 adults and 3 children. 3 Bathrooms were handy to have. No one did use the claw foot tub upstairs. Plenty of fans, did have a fairly cool week with cloudy days. Kitchen had everything we needed, maybe could have used a griddle for our pancake breakfast! Was great to have a washer and dryer, and was nice that there were sheets and towels provided so was one less thing to bring from home. The very best thing was the porch, view from the porch, swings to use in the yard, big tables so our family had suppers out on the patio every evening! And the beach cart to take our things to the beach! The only downside was the distance to the beach, which was only an easy 5 minutes. Nice side streets walkable to the harbor, general store, and a place to get lobsters cooked! Thank you Paul, answered any questions we had, responded very quickly, we had a wonderful week at your house!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse Cottage. Paul was easy to work with through the check-in and check-out process. The house is located in a good spot, with easy beach access, as well as short drives to a number of nice day trips. The kitchen was well-stocked, making BBQ'ing and cooking feel like we were at home.
