The Eagles Nest *Waterfront 2 BR Apartment*
My Wife and I stayed for 3 nights, what a beautiful scene to wake up to each morning. The Machias River attracts so much wildlife ( Bald Eagles, Osprey, seals, deer and lots of geese that made the Inn a landing strip) and we got to see that every day. Area restaurants are very good as well. We look forward to going back again next year.

Beautiful Waterfront Home Close to Trails & Acadia
The experience left nothing to be desired as we were looking for a remote spot and a place comfortable and spacious enough to stay inside during bad weather and Jeff’s place checked the boxes. We were the only ones in the 2 unit home. The view is very pretty and the wildlife is plentiful. The access to the water is down a dirt embankment which leads to mud flats at low tide. Beware of the tides if you can get the kayaks down there.

Hillary's Lakeside Retreat - Utopia NB
Hilary’s lake Retreat is the perfect place ! We have stayed here three summers in a row and love it . Tom and Patty are excellent hosts and we can’t say enough good about it !

Lubec Sandy Beach Loft W/Kayaks
A beautiful, peaceful stay in Lubec! We hope to come back someday and rent the large main cabin as well. It is a great location to relax by the beach and explore Campobello Island. The pictures were accurate but just an FYI for anyone who has a someone who snores or has kids in the family- the two bedrooms are only separated by an open doorway and a curtain - you can hear everything from the other room. 😆

Ocean View, Cute and Cozy 2nd Floor Studio
Melissa was a wonderful host. Her place is clean and well stocked with useful and thoughtful items. Melissa was very helpful with local recommendations and reached out to help us troubleshoot dinner options when the power in town went out. Would definitely stay here again. Five stars all around!

The Coffee House
This place was absolutely amazing. It was cozy and felt just like home. The hosts accomadeted us and provided us everything we needed for our stay on Grand Manan. I would recommend this place to anyone!

"Jolly Breeze" New apartment. Deep cleaned!
The location is in a beautiful area. We'd purposely shortened our stay due to being early for whale watching in Eastport. As a result, we set out to explore other parts of Maine. We, however, recommend staying at Joanne's as it's lovely, cosy, and affordable – it has a private deck and gorgeous views along with most of what you need at an Airbnb to make your stay a relaxing one.

Remarkable 2 bedroom Waterfront Apartment
Laura's apartment overlooking the pier and water was truly exceptional. The apartment is spacious and large with incredible views in a prime location. Laura was a terrific and flexible host and we appreciated how easy she made the check-in and check-out process. Would absolutely stay in this apartment again.
Waterfront house rentals

The Chandler House with private waterfront.
The property was serene and relaxing. It was a much needed space to spend time with nature. The house was adorable. Linens were clean, blankets were cozy, temp works in the house. We plan to book again whenever we are back in the area.

Mulholland Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Robert’s cottage in Lubec. Robert is a great host, proactive and extremely responsive. The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The beds are very comfortable with nice linens and pillows. The deck and waterfront are lovely. We enjoyed cooking on the gas grill and loved sitting on the Adirondack chairs near the beach. Everything at the house is exactly as pictured and as described. This was our second stay and we will definitely be returning again.

Cory Cottage - a charming 1830s home w ocean views
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Deirdre’s place. Impeccably clean, Cory Cottage was absolutely wonderful for our family’s visit. There were 5 couples celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday! She grew up coming to St. Andrews so we wanted to meet up there. The home is designed with extreme attention to detail, beautiful furnishings, dishes, stemware, the list goes on! Thank you for making your home available to guests, it is a very special treat to stay there!

Private & Peaceful Gardner Lake, Pet Friendly
Natalie and April's cabin on the lake is absolutely amazing! Extremely quiet and so peacefully relaxing! Very clean and organized with just about everything you could imagine needing available to you! We will definitely be booking with these wonderful ladies again next time we are visiting!

HOUSE OF DREAMS ( BAILLE an AISLING)
We loved our stay at the House of Dreams; it was cozy and comfortable, with a gorgeous view of the cove. Jason and Aimee left us some thoughtful treats, and the home was beautifully decorated. It was fun perusing the library including great info on the local flora and fauna. The beach was only a few steps away and it was so restful to hear the ocean and hunt for treasures on the beach. We would definitely love to return!

Bear Cove on Meddybemps Lake, ME
We booked Mary's place for three coworkers while they were in a job in Calais. They reported that it was awesome and much preferred it over the meager solutions out that way. Very nice and reasonable option.

Saltair, a Downeast jewel
Salt Air was a much needed breath of fresh air! It was everything we expected and more. Even our 19 and 22 year old sons were impressed. :) Mark was wonderful to communicate and work with. He was always quick to respond before, during and after our stay at his beautiful home. We chose Jonesport due to its central location to Eastport to the north and Acadia National Park to the south. We chose Salt Air based on the description and reviews. The house is all of that and more. Make sure you frequent Guptill’s for fresh lobster and great conversation. It’s the shack right on the water 200 yards behind Salt Air. Salt Air has everything you need. Just be sure to do the majority of your grocery shopping somewhere prior to driving into Jonesport. Thank you Mark for a FUNtastic and memorable family vacation.

Downeast Maine Oceanside Cottage
Our family of 6 had a great time at the house. The view out over the water is gorgeous! Had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, lovely surroundings. Kitchen had what we needed to cook dinners and breakfasts. Would definitely recommend!
