The cottage is clean and well stocked. This location is great if you want to experience the heart of down east Maine. The view is spectacular and it’s amazing that you can see sunrise and sunset. Dark sky at night and it feels like you can touch the stars and planets. The house is well equipped and the host Donna is very responsive and helpful if you have a question! Jasper Beach is down the street there is an amazing beach is across the street and Roque Bluffs is an easy drive. Helens is a must for dinner at least once. Lubec is a great place to visit. We went whale watching and saw humpback whales! We would definitely go back to this cottage. All around great experience.

Four of us stayed here in late August and we spent a lot of time on the deck, watching the amazing dance of light and shadow, sun and fog, fishing boats on the water. The two artists in our party especially appreciated the view. We cooked most meals at home and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Sweet quiet neighborhood, nice neighbors, folks wave as they drive by. We did trips to Campobello (a little less than an hour away...easy to cross the border but do your homework and register with the "arriveCAN" app before you go), and also went to Great Wass Island (50 minutes away) for hiking and painting....a beautiful spot!! Another little gem is the Maine Coast Heritage Trust Long Point Preserve in Machiasport (25 minutes away). Don't miss a hearty meal at Helen's in Machias. The staff are all so friendly and the sweet potato fries were excellent! We just loved staying in this area and coming home to that amazing DECK!!!! Thank you! Catherine and company

Our family enjoyed nature at its finest. We all felt relaxed and peaceful. Each night we saw a different animation driving home from Dinner, from a porcupine to baby deer And their mama. Unbelievable sunrise and sunsets- the home was great and Donna was wonderful To work with. Will go again. Thank you!

The home was very nice and clean, we watched both the sun rise and the sun set on the front deck, the views are fantastic. The neighbors were wonderful. The only problem for us was that there wasn't enough things to do locally, we like to visit local towns and enjoy local restaurants and I found this missing. But if you want to sit on a deck read a good book and enjoy the ocean view I highly recommend a stay.

Photos don’t do the Ocean view from the porch and living room justice. It’s a bit of a haul from the little town of Machias but well worth it. The area is quiet and serene and the neighbors are all very friendly. The house was very clean, down to the bedding and the towels, and we didn’t really want for anything. Jasper beach is a pearl, 2 miles up the road. One thing I wish I brought to more fully enjoy the coast were water shoes- flip flops or bare feet don’t cut it. Another gem is Roques Bluff beach, which has soft white sand and at low tide you can go far out and only be waist deep, so it’s perfect for children. A musty odor in the downstairs bedroom caused by an earlier leak, which necessitated the window to remain open for our entire visit, was the only downside. However the owners were very responsive and we felt like they are eager to stay on top of maintenance. All in all it’s a great spot, a real gem for the money, and we were sad to leave it. We look forward to returning soon!

The home was very comfortable for the 6 of us, stocked with everything we needed, and very clean. The property manager was easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions we had. There was a beautiful view out to the ocean as pictured, and there was a list of suggested sites to visit which we enjoyed! We had a wonderful time!

Absolutely nothing negative to say!!

We can't wait till next year so we can be back in Maine and stay at Donna's wonderful home. The view is incredible, the house had everything and was clean top to bottom. Thank you so much for the welcome basket. It was a vacation we will always remember and cherish.

This house provided for the perfect relaxing Maine vacation, which was exactly what I was looking for. There were beautiful views from every room. The house was very clean and the host even left a gift basket filled with some locally made snacks, which I thought was a very sweet touch. The morning walks to the point at the end of the road were a special treat for our dog. We tried all the local restaurants which were good and got Captain Matt's lobster at the end of the road a couple of days. We went on some short nearby hikes a few of the days and to Eastport and New Brunswick one day but the best part of the vacation was sitting in the living room or on the deck and looking at the view of the ocean. I hope to come back here again.

This place was amazing- clean, comfortable, well stocked kitchen, everything you need to just get away from it all. We spent hours on the deck listening to the waves crash against the shore and soaking in the view. As they say- location, location, location-this had it in spades. I love Washington County and this location was a good home base to focus on parts not yet explored. I am already planning a return visit. Thank you!

This home was very clean, comfortable and very well stocked. I would highly recommend renting here if you are in need of a quiet vacation. The owner communicated with us from the onset and being able to take my dogs truly made the difference. This was my first VRBO experience. The neighbors were kind and informative. We loved every minute!

This is a great property and we would definitely stay there again. View is awe inspiring.

I enjoyed the gorgeous view of Starboard Cove through the living room windows or on the deck! If you need to escape, it's almost as far Down East as you can go. Donna the property manager was very friendly, and answered all my questions in a timely manner.

Stayed here a week in September. Great location....quiet and private, but not too far of a drive into town for groceries, etc. Loved sitting on the deck watching the sun rise and also the magnificent star-filled skies at night. House is clean and the photos are very accurate. Many essentials for starting out the week were supplied by the owner such as paper towels, dish-soap, shampoo, t.p., garbage bags, etc. It was just my hubby and I, but the house would easily accomodate 4 or 5 people. Kayaked right down the coast and saw seals and eagles! Owner was very quick to answer any questions before our arrival. Would not hesitate to recommend !

Machiasport is a gem in the Downeast area of Maine, close to amazing natural places such as Roque Bluffs State Park and West Quoddy Head Light House, plus the Jasper Beach right down the road... the best part of this particular home is the view... from virtually every room, you have a spectacular ocean view from which to watch the sunrise... such a peaceful area, and Donna was very responsive and easy to get in touch with... this is a rural setting, you do have to drive at least 20 minutes for groceries, etc., but it was well worth the getaway.

This was the perfect place for a week's stay for our family of three. We used it as a base for day trips throughout the Downeast region. Spectacular view, plenty of space, and fully equipped.

Everything was great! Easy communication, super clean with everything you can need to make it a home away from home! Thank you!
