Freshly Renovated, Family-Friendly Coastal Cottage
A gem of an Airbnb! The hosts truly thought of everything and this was the perfect place to stay with two young kids; in fact, my son loved the bunkbed and toys so much he refused to go to bed every night! From the tonies box and kids toys, to all the beach and baby gear, there wasn’t one thing they lacked. The place was clean and organized and felt so cozy. I highly highly recommend this place, especially for families! The hosts were so friendly and accommodating as well.

Maine Lakehouse, 3 Bedrooms, 2 baths, waterfront
A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

Cozy beach cottage with pool & hot tub
Lovely one night stay at this sweet little cottage! Grounds are well-kept, enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. AC kept it nice and cool. Convenient location close to a great donut shop- Congdon’s and our favorite ice scream spot- Scoop Deck. Chloe is a gracious host and even granted us a late check-out!

Fully Renovated/4min to K-port/HotTub/Game Room
Great clean air bnb. Accurately as described.. looks good in photos but even better in-person. Bed was comfortable. Would rent their properties again.

Beautifully renovated 2-bedroom cottage
Everything was so perfect !! thank you for hosting us !!

Waterfront Getaway w/ Private Sandy Beach
Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

Cottage in Wells Maine
We had a wonderful stay here and highly recommend it! The location is great, as it’s close to plenty of restaurants and stores. We were even able to walk to get breakfast and dinner. The space itself was much larger than we expected and very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and we even had snacks, waters, and coffee left for us! The highlight for my 2 year old was the pirate ship playground. We also loved having access to picnic tables. We got takeout and enjoyed eating outdoors. We did not use the outside grill but that is a great addition and we would have used if we stayed longer. The host was very helpful and accommodating. They offered early check in and check out and gave very clear instructions on how to get in. I would not hesitate to return in the future!

2 BR house, close to Ogunquit, w/ AC + golf cart!
Everything inside was so thoughtfully designed. Anything we needed was carefully labeled and placed where you might think it would be. The cottage was cozy, and very close to the main road leading to either Ogunquit or Wells. The welcome guide was detailed and informative. Plus we really appreciated our welcome message letting us know that it’s possible to see the northern lights during the night time.

Lovely cottage on Sunrise Lake, Middleton, NH.
They were accommodating, flexible, and very gracious. They had an entire binder of information with details about where to find fans, towels, flashlights, how to work the shower, heat, grill, and about anything else you can think of. It also had emergency services, restaurants, places to have a good time, and good details about checkout expectations. Overall we were extremely happy with the property and our stay, and were honored by the personalization they did for us specifically as it was our Honeymoon and they wrote us a custom note by hand for when we arrived. Highly Recommended - Will Rent Again!

Cottage on Todd Bay
We had a great stay! The house is very nice with a view of the bay and the screened in porch was an great place to be outside but away from the bugs. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet and the house had everything we needed with appropriate notes in all the right places.

Pet Friendly Audubon Bring Your Fishing Gear!
Tammy describes her sweet cottage perfectly. Water views are spectacular with options to fish off the dock, sit in the backyard to warm up or sit on the bluff to cool off. It was perfect for this girl and her dog to re-set in solitude. Most places on the water have sensitive septic as described so you want to consider that if there are more than two guests. I enjoyed my endless walks on Popham beach (no dogs 4/1-10/1)) and was thrilled to be there in the off season. I barely saw anyone! Reid State Park was also spectacular and more opportunity to walk my dog on the trails. Tick season is a bit of an adjustment every year but not a problem if you prepare yourself and your furry friends. A perfect place for a great book, wandering around historic Bath, and easy meal prep. I stayed 2 weeks and appreciated all the thought Tammy put into anticipating what a traveler might need.

Cozy Cottage by the Sea
Another great stay at this place! It’s been consistently a great spot for us. Perfect for a walk to beach or into town. We love it and will definitely be back.

Sunset Haven - Little Sebago Lake
We really enjoyed Elizabeth's house. It was beautiful and peaceful. The dock and beach were great. Communication was awesome! would loved to stay stay again.

Cozy Maine Cottage by the Sea
Linda was a great host! The cottage was cozy and in a peaceful neighborhood close to the beach.

True Maine Artist Cottage with Outdoor Shower
We had such a great time staying at Emily's awesome retreat. It was our first mini-vacation with our dog and we were looking for some peaceful, wide open space to let her roam free. We absolutely got that with this home and thoroughly enjoyed the town, as well. Emily was super responsive whenever we did have a question and provided us with a great list of places to check out around town. Would absolutely stay again. Thanks!

Sweet cottage in quiet convenient coastal setting.
Lovely private location near beach, restaurants, and hiking. Donna provided great recommendations and timely responses. Would stay here again if in the area.

Cozy cottage with great yard
If you love being near a peaceful and beautiful ocean setting and a cozy cottage vibe this is the place for you. Renee is nearby and very responsive if you need anything. Otherwise, you can just enjoy the setting and easily take yourself to the nearby restaurants or cook for yourself. A short walk to my favorite beach on earth. Check out the sandbar at low tide.

The Lil'house - A Mountain Top Modern Cottage
Dan and Jane have a beautiful home. They were extremely kind and I can’t thank them enough for allowing me and the kids to meet their horses. It is a wonderful property on a serene landscape. The pictures don’t do it justice. We will certainly be back.

Romantic waterfront cottage for two in Maine
We stayed at the cottage for a little celebratory getaway. Although the weather only partially complied, we were amazed by the beautiful views that surrounded the cottage. We spent some time exploring the area and there are some spectacular little gems hidden throughout and around Windham. Maryellen and Bryan were so sweet and made sure to make this stay feel a little closer to home. Definitely a “don’t miss” property!

Coastal Waterfront Tiny home in West Bath
What an awesome airbnb! The views are stunning and surroundings couldn’t have been more peaceful. The cottage itself was exceptional and had everything I needed and more. Wish I could've stayed there longer! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone!

*River Rose Cottage* River I Tub I Fireplace
My friend and I stayed here for a girls weekend, and the place was so cute, spotless, and the hosts were so friendly and responsive. The location was also great and centrally located. We had a blast and would for sure stay here again!

Saco Cozy Cottage! Minutes From Old Orchard Beach
The cottage was perfect for our needs and had everything! Auria was extremely helpful and responded to us quickly! I would definitely stay there again!

Quintessential Maine Lakefront Cottage.
We were looking for a quiet place near the water to relax and unwind. Marina's place was perfect! We enjoyed kayaking, and great views of the lake whether reading on the deck or playing boardgames in the dining room on a rainy day. We'd definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous nature views, minutes from Wells Beach
Our family of four had a fantastic stay. The home was clean, instructions were clear, and everything worked as expected. We especially appreciated the well-appointed kitchen for the few meals we made for ourselves. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and plenty of space to be outside when we wanted to do so. It’s within a ~15 minutes drive of Wells and Kennebunk/port for any grocery, shopping, or restaurant needs you may have. If we found ourselves back in the Wells area, we would absolutely stay again.
