Guest Reviews

I believe the team at Cottage Connection love the homes as much as those of us who rent them. The care they give the homes and the way they welcome us when we arrive is a testament to that love. May they pass this love on to the generations that follow them.

Some places are meant to be visited and then left behind. Our cottage and little part of East Boothbay were meant to travel with us the rest of the year and the rest of our lives. We feel at home in Dash Inn. The setting is heavenly with a Bald Eagle thrown in for icing on the cake. The owners obviously love the place because you can feel that when you walk in the door. It is close to everything, yet far enough away from the world. Always go to the Maine State Theatre at Bowdoin for one show. Always visit Sadie's in Boothbay and NEVER skip going to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Walk, walk, walk. Don't tell anyone how great the YMCA pool is because we do not need crowds!

Cottage Connections and the homeowners made our vacation stress free. Any suggestions for future guests? Relax! Yo're in great hands!

We had a wonderful time. The house has 8 generously sized bedrooms. Plenty to do in the area. Loved the big porch for our family gatherings, entertainment and meals. The big yard was a Hugh plus for us. The ages of our family ranged from 3-70 years of age and the house and grounds suited all ages. A large family vacation with family coming from 5 states. Shopping, kayaking, swimming, tours, meals out, visiting with family, and TOTALLY relaxing.

When a cottage rented directly from an owner fell through, I was pretty sure Cottage Connection would be able to help us. And Lucy did exactly that, finding us a perfect rental. We liked it so much, we stayed longer than we planned and returned the following year. We're loyal fans of Cottage Connection.

Lovely, relaxing getaway. With Cottage Connection, we know that the properties will be well maintained and managed. And if there is a problem with anything, there is someone to attend to it. Love relaxing by the water, and delighted that there was so much firewood available. Enjoyed a fire almost every night. Delightful cottage and location.

The person I communicated with via email was great and helpful in finding us the right place for our budget and needs. We just wish your company was aware of the status of this property's water's edge.

Great place to get away as a family and unplug.

Nice stay with efficient check in, check out and prompt service call resolution.

The sighting of the property is very good. You can see, hear and smell the ocean, but you are not so close to sandy areas that you are pestered by the bugs. The main living space is quite comfortable. Being close to the sea, sea kayaking and nice place to read with a kayak paddle to Seguin was great. Maine Maritime Museum was very good. Appreciate the short blazed hiking paths. The cottage is a great spot to eat in.

everybody is friendly & helpful

The best part of our rental experience was walking into Sunrise and seeing how well appointed it was and the view of Oven's Mouth. We will definitely recommend Sunrise and Cottage Connections to our family and friends. The biggest surprise of our stay was how beautiful the location Sunrise is in and its close proximity to town. Very private, peaceful and enjoyable for us.

"We choose Cottage Connection because it was very easy to search rentals and find the information we needed to book a cottage. They provided lots of information for us to make our decision about where to stay. I would say to friends and family "you need to use Cottage Connection to find your next vacation rental because they are great". "I think your service was great. When I called you answered my questions, provided all the information I needed about the cottage, your procedure of picking up the key and getting directions and returning key were easy, and I would definitely recommend Cottage Connection to any of my friends."

Cottage Connection met our expectations and we were pleased by how easy check in and check out were.

"We loved every minute of our stay at Crows Nest. It was the ideal location and home, just what we were looking for in a Vintage Cottage experience. Walking up that first morning, to the echo of seagulls over the river, for me, set the tone for the rest of our stay, we loved it! It's hard to say what was our favorite, we really fit a lot into our week. We did decide it was the best vacation we've ever taken, preferring it to all the Caribbean travel that we've done. The Bath area was a great starting point for day trips. One of our favorites was Porters Preserve on Barters Island in Boothbay. Beautiful trail! Found it through Boothbay Region Land Trust's Dog Friendly trail brochure. This trail hugged the coast and had many great vistas and, a small gravel beach at trails end where our dog finally learned to love the water. We were glad to end each day at the Crow's Nest, love the location, very relazing, good proximity to others, you know other people are there, but they're not on top of you. Here's a list of what we did: -Porter's Preserve -Popham Beach -Reid State Park -Georgetown -Five Islands -Boothbay (twice) -Montsweag Flea Market -Brunswick (lunch at Richard's German restaurant, homemade rolls!) -Cabot Mills Antiques -Bath Farmer's Market...., and of course, downtown Bath! Great small town and great restaurants.

We would recommend Cottage Connection of Maine to anyone looking for a property in the mid Coast Maine region. It is a well run organization and they are experts in the area.

Whiteley's Wharf had all the amenities, was neat and clean and offered ease of access.

We chose Cottage Connection because their website was so easy to navigate. Very happy that everything worked out well, very pleasant and easy booking and vacation.

Loved the area that we stayed and surroundings. Very pleased with the accommodations and the location. Was able to paint without interruptions.
