Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Southern Maine Coast

Sharon was extremely friendly! She went out of her way to find breakfast pastries for my food allergies! Super sweet! Wonderful space, private room and bathroom. We felt very at home and loved the neighborhood. Lovely drive to nearby areas like Newburyport and Salem. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy home away from home.

Beautiful place and spotlessly clean. Very spacious — it’s actually bigger than it appears in the photos. Convenient 2-minute drive to ski area. Bretton Woods Vacations was great to work with; when we had one glitch with signing the contract due to a last-minute change (added a night), they were able to reconcile quickly. I suspect the issue was more an Airbnb technical glitch than anything BWV did. Overall a great stay — would definitely book thru BWV again and would certainly stay in this unit.

A wonderful B&B — and the breakfasts are above and beyond. Just tremendously delicious.

Shirley and Mac are fabulous hosts! I felt welcomed the second I was met at the door and feel like I left friends behind not just hosts. The house is lovely and it was wonderful to relax by the wood stove and spend time sharing stories. The bedroom is cozy, the bed super comfortable and the bathroom is immaculate (as is the entire house) The house is rural and so very peaceful yet just a quick drive to Belfast. I highly recommend a stay here.

Bonnie & Doug were the best hosts! Accommodations perfect for our needs. Large bedroom with sitting area, light & airy. Private full bath and private entrance. Very nice patio outside and a wonderful front porch/room where we had breakfast (delicious!) . Bonnie's recommendations for attractions & restaurants were great. We actually were able to see all the recommended attractions and loved them! Doug's pottery is beautiful and he showed us how he makes his spectacular lamps that he has on display in his store. Such good people who were very comfortable to be with. Shared good conversations. We would highly recommend this couple's B&B.

Claudia was an awesome host and very responsive. We had a good night stay in a nice private bedroom with private bathroom. We really appreciated her hospitality with breakfast food that was left out so kindly for us. Although it was such a brief stay on our road trip, we will consider staying here again in the future if we are in the area!

Dr. Jerr is a very kind and generous host - he provided us with fresh coffee and breakfast snacks each morning during our stay. We loved the location on Cape Elizabeth, close to Portland, and to many beautiful coastal and woodland trail walks. We came home laden with fish, flash frozen from the fish markets in Portland - thank you Dr. Jerr for your recommendation. We would wholeheartedly recommend staying with Dr. Jerr for exploring the stunning Maine coast and hope to find ourselves back on Cape Elizabeth again next year. Tom & Gillian Hamilton

Buddy’s place was incredible!!! The view from your room is gorgeous and breakfast will be the best you will ever have. Smooth check-in, communication, and parking. Wonderful company and conversation - plus, an adorable dog. :) Beautiful hikes only a 10 min drive away. We cannot wait to return again!

The bed was super cozy, the host was responsive and friendly, and the cats were adorable! I had a nice evening with the host chilling with the cats (and petting and playing with them) while watching TV, and when I stepped out for dinner I found a great place following her recommendations. The breakfast was great! The French toast was delicious, and the timing was perfect - made fresh shortly after I came downstairs, close to the time we’d discussed the day before. Check-in and check-out were simple too.

This place is historic and lovely! Great location on the way and close to another great location: Monhegan Island! It's quiet and relaxing and Leslie is a wonderful hostess! This was a return trip for us and we recommended it to our family!

This was our first time staying at the Candlebay Inn and we definitely will be back. Connie was so wonderful and sweet, greeted us at the door—gave us a brief tour and local recommendations. The Daisy Room was super cozy, very clean and quiet. In the morning, home cooked breakfast was delicious, Connie was nice enough to tell us about the backstory of the inn which we really enjoyed. 10/10 recommend!!

Very timely response once I booked. Someone was waiting outside at night and helped my daughter and I bring in our bags and gave us a tour and let us know some very helpful travel hints to Salem. Would recommend.

A+. This place is why I come to Airbnb: unique, immersive, and full of character. I stayed in the Witches Dorm, and it felt like part of the adventure, not just a place to sleep. The decor was rich and authentic, and the common room was so cozy I spent hours writing and reading there. The 2 twin beds were comfy (even for a 6'1" guest.) Hope, the host, is fascinating and has some amazing stories, but also totally respects your space. She keeps the common area well-stocked with snacks, coffee, and drinks, which made mornings and late nights easy. Uber was always available and affordable (~$6–10), making it easy to get around if you don’t feel like walking the scenic 25–30 mins to downtown. The walk downtown can be super varied tho—walking along the coastline one day, thru a park the next, and a myriad of ways down tiny New England streets w cute houses all about the same travel time. My first time in Salem. Felt safe at all hours. Would absolutely stay at this property again. A+

Our stay at Snowvillage Inn was better than we could have ever asked for. The amenities were plentiful and our room was cozy and clean. Jen and staff were all friendly and accommodating and the food at Max’s was delicious. The holiday theme and decorations across the Inn and the mixed with the weekend snow made for a perfect winter wonderland weekend. Highly recommend staying at this amazing Inn!

Had a great stay! Would 1,000% book again! Judi is good people! Super chill vibe! If I lived locally, I’d totally swoop her up for regular Sunday brunches and antique shopping! The pictures don’t do it justice- it’s MUCH larger (and nicer) than expected! Two suggestions - A table top dimmable makeup mirror to add to the already well stocked and awesome options. A keyless entry for the bottom door once a guest has exited the unit. …not a complaint, however it would take an “A” experience to an “A+”!!! Note: If you have mobility issues, the stairs are a bit steep, but my 78 year old mom handled them like a (retired) champ!! Overall, one of my best Airbnb experiences! 10/10!!

We had the most amazing stay with Judith. It was hard to leave every day because we enjoyed talking to her so much. The place is completely spotless and homey. It’s also in the most perfect area - safe, quiet, and walkable to everything we ever wanted to see while in Salem for Halloween. I hope to stay here again!! We will miss you Judith!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, thanks to such a considerate and thoughtful host. It truly felt like we were visiting an old friend’s home—the crib and toys thoughtfully set up for our toddler made us feel instantly at ease, and the fresh fruit and pastries waiting for us at check-in were a lovely touch. Örs was warm, welcoming, and always available if we needed anything. The location itself is stunning and couldn’t have been more perfect. We left feeling relaxed and grateful—highly recommend!

Mary and Jim were great hosts. Mary in particular was hilarious; she shared many interesting stories with my friend and me. She took us on a mini tour of the grounds of her house which had magnificent views of the White Mountains all around. She gave us recommendations for short day hikes with great views. Cell reception is poor so keep your GPS on after you arrive. The house had a cozy, homey, welcoming vibe. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. We ate fresh eggs for breakfast from Mary’s hens. The best part of our trip were her dogs Dougal and Fergus who were very enthusiastic and playful, and the flock of hummingbirds that arrived in the late afternoon to drink from the feeder. 100% recommend staying here for a relaxing nature getaway from the city.

Lovely home, great location and friendly and helpful host. Felt more like a "hosted B&B or inn" rather than the more common experience I've had with Air B&B of the host being available but not a visible presence. If you are looking for a private, nonengaging experience, this might not be for you. However, if you enjoy meeting your host, we found Bob to be warm and cheery and he made us a lovely breakfast with excellent coffee. Rosy was away so we did not meet her, however, her decorating talents were much on display from the tableware to the linens and accoutrements, all of which made us feel like we were special guests.

This is a beautiful place for 12 people to gather and celebrate. We filled the house with love, joy, and music. Tracey is responsive and helpful. Fantastic!

A beautiful craftsman style house near the center of Newton and a short drive to anywhere in the Boston area.

Very quaint and well done room

Bjorn and Elaine know how look after their guests. It was a pleasure to stay with them whilst exploring the White Mountains region. They gave good food recommendations nearby, made me extra coffee for my flask and asked me about the adventures I had been on. Perfect hosting! The room was super clean and comfortable with space to park the car and lovely indoor and outdoor areas for guests to enjoy a coffee or a beer. Will stay there again if I’m in town.

We loved staying here! We felt so welcomed and comfortable. It was easy to find and parking was great! It was a beautiful place!
