In a sea of vacation rentals, what makes a guest choose one home over another? It’s the little (and big) things that set your home apart—the details that make it memorable, comfortable, and worth returning to year after year.
At Cottage Connection, we help homeowners highlight these unique selling points, ensuring that your home isn’t just another rental but a sought-after space your guests love and care for.
1. Location, Location, Location
Is your home nestled in a quiet cove with private waterfront access? Just steps from the center of town? Perched on a hill with sweeping ocean views? Every home in Midcoast Maine has a story to tell—let’s make sure yours is front and center.
2. Architecture & Character
New England charm runs deep in Maine, and guests love homes with history and personality. Whether it’s a classic coastal cottage, a post-and-beam retreat, light and airy new construction, or a historic captain’s home, the character of your space makes a difference. Thoughtful decorating and preserved details can make your home feel one-of-a-kind.
3. The Little Luxuries That Stand Out
What extras do guests rave about? A chef’s kitchen? A deep soaking tub with a view? A screened-in porch perfect for summer evenings? Highlighting these details helps your home attract the right guests—those who will appreciate and care for it as much as you do.
4. Outdoor Spaces That Wow
A waterfront deck, a place to sit under the stars, a private dock for morning paddles—these outdoor features aren’t just amenities, they’re experiences. In Maine, guests want to embrace the outdoors, and a well-thought-out exterior space can be a major draw.
5. Thoughtful Touches & Amenities
From a curated library of local books to a lobster pot for the perfect at-home feast, small details can leave a lasting impression. High-quality linens, a well-stocked kitchen, fast WiFi, and cozy furnishings all contribute to an exceptional stay.
6. A Strong Sense of Place
Guests choose Maine because they want Maine. A home that reflects the local landscape, culture, and lifestyle is more likely to attract guests looking for an authentic experience. Coastal artwork, nautical touches, or even a guide to your favorite local haunts can help your home feel deeply connected to the area.
