The property was a perfect blend of old world little cottage, views and a look at a way of life that was very interesting. Just as they said in the description, no commercialization up here. A true step back in time and look at a lobster fishing village. I recommend talking with the locals they are very friendly and helpful. Buying lobster right off the boat and talking with the lobstermen, walking out on the docks etc.was a great experience. Driving around the scenery is breathtaking. We had a great time, and a deeper appreciation for the lobster/fishing world.

It worked, enjoyed all.

We had a wonderful time in this doll house. Everything was just right. Manager was very helpful sharing unique places to go i.e breakfast at the pizza shop open 5am to10am for lobstermen. Gas fireplace for that cold, wet and windy day. Very quiet and beautiful.

Loved the quiet simple way of life hubby would have liked a tv but we lived without it. Restaurants in area not the greatest but other than that it was great

My husband and I spent three weeks at this charming little cottage. It had just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hosts Rick and Donna were so nice and gracious! We thoroughly enjoyed this working town, the views, the fog, the starry nights, the quiet, the lobsters, etc. etc. When it was foggy at home, we just had to drive 30 - 40 minutes inland to enjoy sandy bottom lakes with crystal clear waters. The daily tides were impressive. The lobster fresh as can be. The blueberries and raspberries wild and sweet. We can't wait to return.

Lovely little cottage, nothing fancy but really well-maintained and very, very comfortable. Simple and utilitarian, very nice for a couple.

It was just what we were looking for. Peaceful, quaint and comfortable. Thanks!

What a charming cottage! We had everything we needed, and Heather was accommodating and very helpful. The bay view/ocean is spectacular. We took daily walks on the beach and totally relaxed. We wanted a get-away that was peaceful, away from the city, and "just be" with nature. At the last moment, our dog sitter canceled, and Heather was kind enough to allow us to bring, "Rosie" our cocker spaniel. She too had a great time! :-). Heather's father, Richard and his partner, Donna, were friendly, helpful and generous to a fault of their time and friendship. Jonesport and Beals Island is a charming setting and people were friendly and non-intrusive. We will stay at Heather's cottage on a yearly basis. I highly recommend the Primrose cottage. Heather, thank you again! Kind Regards, The Garrisons

We had an enjoyable week exploring the region. The cottage was a great base camp for hiking, paddling and visiting the local towns. Lots of good information on the region is provided by the hosts, who are very friendly and helpful. Cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was clean and neat. It was a little smaller than we had expected, but was fine for the two of us. I would not recommend it for more than two people. Our dog was welcome and had plenty of space to run and the harbor beach was easily accessible for exploring.

We booked a week here in August. It's a great location to explore northernmost Maine. Each day we were out in perfect, bug less weather to see another beautiful scene. Don't miss the Schoodic Penninsula, home to the less traveled Acadia National Park (east section). Also see Rocque Bluffs State Park--beautiful beach. Lubec is great with a lovely lighthouse state park. Across the short bridge in Canada is FDR's Campobello Island retreat yes, you'll need your passport and dog vaccine certificates to cross the border (both ways). Closer to Jonesport is the lovely, little used Sandy Beach. It is just 3.7 miles from the front porch. Drive East out of Jonesport when you pass the sign for Jolene's Fabrics on the left look for the well marked pedestrian crosswalk (2 signs, lights) just before the crosswalk turn left into the municipal parking lot and work station. Leave the car, walk over the crosswalk and down the short access path to the Long Beach. It is public space below the high water tide line. Stay off the private home properties beyond. The surf is calm, the water is clear and the beach is almost a mile long. That's a lot of sand for Maine! Our dogs loved it! There is one portapotty at the municipal lot but no other facilities and no personnel stationed on the beach. The ocean here is about 60 f in August so wading is about all one can do comfortably. Back to the Camp. It sits on a bluff above the port. The views are authentic Maine working seaport. The fisherman leave before the sunrise but we never heard go them so it's not disruptive to good sleep. Access to the beach is by two steps. The camp has one new one 20 yards from the deck and one right out front but it is very rickety be careful. It's 20+ steps down to the tidal beach which is not appealing for lounging or swimming. Jonesport is a working village port. Lots of flotsam, jetsom ends up in the water and on the beach. We went down there once but there was no reason to go again. The real view is from the sunny deck. Our hosts were very friendly and live onsite. They are not at all obtrusive but they are helpful, generous and fun to talk to as they are retired globe trotting scientists. We were happy at the camp. Jonesport is not Bar Harbor it is not touristy and the locals work hard to carve out a modest living is a difficult, dangerous profession. Everyone is very friendly in northern Maine; very friendly indeed.

I had a relaxing time visiting Jonesport. The cabin is just as described. I did have to spend more time in it then I had hoped as the weather was not as cooperative with me. My initial goal was to be come one with the sun, but her brother FOG was jealous and wouldn't leave me alone. Luckily I was prepared to enjoy the view from the windows with books and the such. Things I liked about the cabin: Location Things I wish had been different: Would have been nice to have kitchen towels and hot-pads. Also would be nice for more blankets. It got mighty cold at night and I had all the blankets I could find in the cabin already on my bed. It would have also been nice if the yard was mowed, since it was so wet and the grass was so high, my shoes were soaked the whole weekend. Also, a bit of a path to the stairs leading to the water would be nice.

My stay at Primrose Seaside cottage was just what I was hoping for - peaceful & comfortable. The cottage had everything needed & I appreciate that my dog was allowed to accompany me on my retreat. Points of interest - Quoddy Head State Park (beautiful views!) & Jasper Beach (amazing rocks!) are a scenic hour drive & the nearby seafood take-out restaurant had a good lobster roll, delicious ice cream & friendly service. Wonderful time!

The location is perfect, great view. It is a peaceful and serene setting. The cabin was great for our dogs, they liked sitting on the porch.

We loved this place! Great location, lots of sights to see and trails to hike! Definitly plan on coming back next year!

The primrose cottage is so sweet and most definitely lives up to its name. After a 12 hour drive with our dog Karter (which should have only been 10.5 hours but we stopped a few places along the way) we finally arrived to see the cutest little cottage over looking the water. It was beautiful. The smell of the salt water, seagulls cawwing(which I'd like to add are nothing like the seagulls at the Jersey Shore) and the prettiest primrose bushes lining the edge of the bluff. After taking in the beautiful sites we finally got settled in. The cottage is sweet. Exactly how it is explained on VRBO. We learned very quickly that you do not need much while you are in Maine. There is so much to do and see. The cottage have everything you need. There aren't many luxuries in the cottage but you're not there to sit inside and why would you. Every morning my husband and I and Karter would go for a walk down on the beach. We found sea glass, pottery and amazing stones. Definitely the way every morning should be. Karter had the best time too. If you have a dog and would love to bring them to Maine, I definitely suggest it. Everyone we met and everywhere we went was dog friendly. In the cottage, Heather has a binder, pretty much an itinerary of where to go and what to see. Definitely check it out its so worth it!!! It's not difficult to see all the places in a short stay. I could go on and on about our trip but I'm going to wrap it up, promise. It was a wonderful stay. Jonesport has so many amazing things to offer from unique jewelry, amazingly fresh lobster(checkout Hopkins lobster), and incredible beaches(check out sandy river beach and wait for the low tide to cross to the island but seriously don't get stuck over there lol it seriously can happen.) Thanks to Heather for being such a great host and for being so responsive to all of our questions and requests. We loved our stay at Primrose cottage. Ps. Maine has the best blueberries EVER!!!!
