Wawenock suits our family just perfectly. Excellent kayaking, beach-combing, exploring on the islands and in the water at low tide, fireplace fires at night, lots of reading spots… Craig is a very attentive host whose love for the place shines through!

The cabin is exactly as the pictures show. Our week was damp and foggy, so it was damp and cool inside - as there is no insulation inside the cabin.

The rental process is seamless, get the key code and walk into the sweetest place anyone could ask for. The biggest problem is you will not want to leave to do anything else. Move from the porch in the morning to the beach, back to lunch, and repeat. You wake up to the crows and lobster boats, while living in a book lined museum. I loved it.

My wife and I styed here in July of 2022. This house sits on an amazing piece of land, the views from the slabs of granite are breathtaking! After 10:00 all you could hear is the waves except for one evening there was some loud people a few houses down. I especially enjoyed learning about the tide and how different the landscape looks in low tide vs. high tide. The lobster boats were fun to watch and listen to as they made their way to the traps. Now for the house itself, it is old and has many cool antiques. I have to say it is not particularly comfortable, beds are small, windows need to be better with better screens and the furniture is nothing great. The fact their was no TV was a plus for me. In the listing there are no photos of the bathrooms so let me describe them. The main bath is very small. You could literally sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time! The shower was so small I dreaded using it. It is a corner style shower that an average weight adult can fit into but that's it, very hard to wash your feet. The second floor bath is much nicer but it only has a toilet and sink. The kitchen is also very small. Yes they have plenty of pans and utensils but there is only room for one person to work. And the burners on the stove are not level. Every time I went to make an omelet the eggs would run to one side of the pan. We did not use the kitchen too much as we wanted to dine out anyway. The charcoal grill was like every VRBO grill I have used, dirty. I was able to clean it up enough to use it. The vents were rusted shut and the grill grate needs replacing. The best part of the house is the back porch. We really enjoyed sitting out there in the morning with coffee watching the lobster boats. And I really enjoyed the peaceful evenings , mosquitos were an issue at times but there were lots of candles and torches to help deter them. Overall I loved our stay based on the porch and the granite slabs down by the water ( I played my guitar down there every night) the house not so much. This property is located in what I call a rural area, kind of a long drive to Blue Hill in my opinion but I knew it would be. Its location is great for exploring the small towns nearby and Deer Isle but not a bad drive to Acadia National Park ( 90 minutes). I highly recommend Acadia but also enjoyed local hikes like the 100 Acre woods.

Wawenock Cottage is exactly what we look for in a Maine vacation: access to the water, a great view, dark skies (great for stargazing), super location, and quiet--both atmospheric and electronic. The history of Wawenock Cottage is also a selling point for us. We love the shelves and shelves of books and magazines from the 1800s to the present! The rustic cabin is perfect for late June trips--the weather is cool and breezy, and no air conditioner is necessary. As a matter of fact, a few evening fires in the terrific fireplace are the norm! The short drive to Blue Hill (and even shorter drive to the Brooklin "town center") means that great food, shopping, and entertainment are nearby. Wawenock is not fancy, but that's what makes it perfect. The creaking wicker chairs, tiny (but amazingly well-stocked) kitchen, cozy wool blankets, and family art and artifacts make it feel like home every time we visit. We just returned from a visit, and we're already looking forward to another! Oh, and let's not forget the owner, caretaker, and cleaner. They are all great! Cheryl is an amazing owner who is a great communicator and easily accessible--she even checked in on us while she was overseas! The local caretaker is just next door, and he's very kind and helpful, and the cleaner does a great job of making the place feel great upon arrival.

We had a great time at this property. It was in a fantastic location, beautiful sunrises over Blue Hill Bay. We had one issue and the owner was able to get us in touch with someone local to get it resolved quickly.
