Found Cottage Connection by a recommendation from Maine Vacation Rentals.

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."

"We enjoyed our stay in Boothbay Harbor in the Bay Street Cottage during the week of August 15 through Aug 22, 2015. The best part of our vacation was being able to walk from our cottage to downtown Boothbay Harbor, but still be away from the crowds"

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.

Being able to come back to a "familial" cottage allows us to feel more at home and at ease. Like being able to leave notes for the property owner and knowing that they are delivered and acted upon.

Cottage Connection is very good to work with and make it easy. Check in and out is easy, especially as it's done with a lockbox at the property and we don't have to travel further north to the office. Definitely will return again if possible with our schedule.

The house meets all of our expectations, which is why we rented it again after last year's vacation. We specifically like this property because we need peace and quiet on a vacation, so we don't do much besides enjoy the view, sit on the dock and relax.

Gorgeous modern house on Damariscotta. Comfortable. Airy. Quiet. We loved the kitchen/cooking set up, the amazing windows onto the water. Easy access to Damariscotta and Booth Bay from River road. Great bedrooms and bathrooms. Great for socializing and for relaxing. Good air flow, ceiling fans in main rooms. Beautiful decks and porches, both screened and open. No other homes in view. Great chairs on rock overlooking water. Our experience was 100% positive.
