Rented the cottage for a wedding we had to attend near by. Barbara the host was a pleasure to work with. Would definitely rent from her agai.

Barbara was a very friendly helpful hostess and excellent communicator. The charming well supplied cottage is not far from the town. We loved using her kayaks around the beautiful harbor.

Everything was perfect! Short distance to Main St and what we were in town to do. Owner was great! Would definitely stay again.

I cannot speak highly enough about this VRBO. Exceptionally charming cottage within close walking distance to the downtown area. Very quiet and a BREATHTAKING view if you venture up through the backyard to the overlook. I enjoyed every minute of my time here. Barbara was a wonderful host and made superb recommendations for dining. I can't wait to return!

Our location was fabulous to get to the ferry and Isle au Haut Owners were close by and we had fabulous kayaking as well as hospitality. Place is much cuter and spacious than we anticipated!

This is a cute cottage in a quiet residential neighborhood. The center of town is under a 3 minute drive. Town parking is very limited, but a parking spot is included near the center of town. Our family of 3 (adult daughter) enjoyed quiet family time while we waited out the rain. We didn't use the outdoor picnic table,, seating and grill, but they were inviting for better weather. A lovely trip!

Centrally located, so close to everything. Lovely cottage, and hosts!

Nothing fancy, but great value.

Barbara is the most exceptional host! My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time at the Sweet Pea cottage. Our stay was restful and the property is so cozy and fitted with everything we could ask for: to be completely comfortable and taken away from the stress and bustle of everyday life. We ended up meeting Barbara and her husband the first day we were in town and they were incredibly helpful with recommendations for things to see around the isle and where to find a delicious meal. We felt like family and we cannot wait to come back in 2022. Thank you so much Barbara!!!

This is our 2nd stay at Sweet Pea and we just love it there. We travel to Stonington to visit our son. It is only minutes from him and the cottage is just so comfortable.

My friend, her dog and I enjoyed our stay at Sweet Pea cottage very much. The place was very clean and really well stocked with everything we could need -- especially all kinds of kitchen utensils and pots. The house is charming. The bedrooms are small, but my bed was really comfortable. We especially loved the kayaks -- they are a wonderful perk. Barbara, the host, is a lovely, warm person and is very accessible -- best way to reach her is by text or phone. She and her partner were so helpful to us with the kayaks -- they helped us carry them across the sand in low tide, and gave us all kinds of advice about the surrounding islands. The internet/wifi was great -- one tip: the correct password is on the wall above the bulletin board in the little bedroom/office. Stonington is a lovely town to walk around in. We also enjoyed walking up the hill behind the house to an open, flat rock area with nice views. Many thanks, Barb!

Barbara's second home is darling and clean, and we were very lucky that she a) called us early on the day of our arrival to provide her text in case anything went wrong, b) offered context that helped us ensure that we'd catch our ferry to the Isle au Haut camp site, c) loaned us camp chairs to use for the trip when she realized we'd forgotten them, and d) texted me to let me know that my daughter had left her iPhone in her room. Without all this, the camping trip we tried to fit in at the end of a busy work week might not have been as successful!

The host was incredibly helpful with recommendations. Access to kayaks was phenomenal and the place was in a perfect location. Adorable cottage with everything you can need for a great trip!

For what we were looking for, this cottage did the trick! It's like it was transported here via the Twilight Zone from the forties, complete with all the forties furnishings and decorations (ok, maybe except for the flat screen TV and wifi). The place just oozes character, quirkiness, and charm. If you're looking for luxury you won't find it here, but it's super cozy and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. It's plenty roomy, that's for sure, so you won't feel cramped. When we had questions and texted our host Barbara, she replied INSTANTLY, which was both impressive and helpful. The location is fine, no more than a five minute drive from Stonington village. Last but not least, the two reserved parking spaces and available patio space right down the harbor are HUGE bonuses and come along with the cottage. Good stuff! Thanks, Barbara!

The cottage is small, and a short 5 minute drive from downtown Stonigton. It's a 15 minute walk from the cottage on foot. If you're planning on mostly staying in Deer Isle, or even in the Stonington area, it's a perfect location. If you're going to be driving a lot to explore nearby-ish areas like Camden/Rockland, Acadia, or Schoodic, know that it's a half hour from the cottage to the Deer Isle bridge, so you are in for a longer drive than if you stayed on the Blue Hill Peninsula itself. We did a lot of local hikes and walks both on Deer Isle and in the Blue Hill area, and were very happy with the location. The cottage has two small bedrooms with full or queen size beds and not a lot of moving-around room, a good-sized kitchen with better-than-usual amounts of cooking equipment/utensils, a small shower-only bathroom (with no ventilation fan, my only real complaint), and a small office with a twin sized cot, plus a small living room with a loveseat, two chairs, the TV, and a small book & video library. There is a thermostat and baseboard heating, so you're not dependent on a woodstove to heat the cottage. The cottage was very tidy, and the washer/dryer on site worked well and we used it several times. The wifi was sluggish, but worked for what we needed. If you were going to try to do remote work while you were here, however, you might be frustrated. There were plenty of towels, sheets & blankets-- if you are looking for everything to be brand-new, you will be disappointed, but if you are looking for a cottage that's well-stocked, clean, and comfortable, you will be fine. We didn't use the picnic table, grill, or fire pit, and we didn't use the kayaks or porch/seating area at the downtown Stonington location, so I can't comment on those. The owner was very responsive when we called with questions or issues. At one point there was a wind storm and she called to check in, which we appreciated. There are small grocery stores on the island for basic groceries and supplies. After Labor Day, check on business and restaurant hours, since many places are seasonal. We would definitely stay again if we were back in the area. We have rented other Maine cottages through VRBO, and this cottage was definitely more nicely decorated, warmer on chilly days & nights, and more well-stocked than others.

The cabin was adorable and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The kayaks were a wonderful perk and using them really added to our experience. The location is very convenient to Stonington, and there’s a little grocery store a few miles down the road if you need any supplies. The host was extremely responsive and welcomed us with a lovely note and fresh wildflowers. This isn’t the place to stay if you’re looking for glitz and glamour, but it’s definitely the place to stay if you’re looking for homey, affordable fun and comfort! We loved it and would stay again.

Overall a good experience even though the pictures are slightly misleading. We did have a good time and Stonington is a beautiful spot. Barbra was very accommodating and helpful.

Very sweet, very comfortable, excellent location.

"vintage"cottage met all our needs. sweet decor. comfy on our rain day too.

Cute old property in a rural area of Maine, good to use as a place to crash for a get away near the ocean. Well water is what you might expect near the ocean so you may want to consider bringing drinking water (although it was also provided.) Easy to get into and worked well for an enjoyable weekend away.

We enjoyed our say at this cottage! It is very unique as if going back in time to visit your grandma...decor is that of the 40s and 50s. The backyard has a private, shady area for relaxing and it was so close to Stonington's downtown area. Very nice combination...homey near the coastline. Barbara was so nice and just a phone call or text away.

The cottage was comfortable and quiet. Very clean and well kept

Bed sheets had mildew and the over all building had a strong smell of animals (which I am OK with... but guest was not) There are many windows with peeling paint (not sure about children). The window fan in the living room is extremely dirty. One of the house keys has an off-cut and has to be giggled to work properly. Arrived after dark. No outside lights (sensors) to help navigate to back entrance. Wifi password listed on the welcome app is not correct. It took some time... but found the "new" password posted on a wall. Nice quiet spot. People staying here should be very flexible.

I couldn't have been more disappointed in a vacation rental. The house had an unpleasant smell that made me think of mold. The smell permeated my clothes. Another troubling aspect of the rental was how uncomfortable the mattresses were. The pillows were equally bad. I wish there was something nice I could say about this cottage or the way it was decorated. However, there is not.
