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"

1. What was the best part of your vacation? "Getting away from the city life and enjoying the peace and quiet of Maine is such a cozy house. We loved your new fire-pit and the outdoor enclosed deck was perfect."

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.

We didn't see a guest book, we would have loved to written a little something. We loved every minute of our stay at Crows Nest, it was the ideal location and home, just what we were looking for! Vintage cottage experience!

Past guest of Cottage Connection and when asked if they would recommend Cottage Connection to friends and family Judith wrote "Cottage Connection is a competent realtor, responsive to the wants and needs of the renter". When asked how we could serve them better? "All in all, it was a job well done on Cottage Connection's part".

What was the best part of your vacation..., "beautiful house, fabulous view, delicious lobsters, quiet getaway".

We are repeat guests to Cottage Connection and this house. Always have a positive experience with staff who are honest and reliable.

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.

Our stay was perfect... Everything, house and staff, beyond expectations. We had been to Ocean Point before and knew we wanted to stay at the 'Villa'.

The location and the house itself made our vacation wonderful, the food was a close second. The "Toy" room on the porch was the biggest surprise, our grandson LOVED it!

1. Was check in and check out easy? "Check in by code access was wonderful and should be on every rental if possible." 2. Would you return again? "yes definitely".

1. Did the house meet your expectations? "yes, more than met expectations. Really a spectacular setting with a clean house and amenities. 2. What were your favorite things to do while you were here? "Cycling, Flea Market/Antique and shopping in Wiscasset and Boothbay Harbor. Schooner Harbor Cruise."

We have rented from Cottage Connection several years ago and were very satisfied. Easy rental transactions and pleasant, helpful staff. You can be sure the properties are clean and well maintained. Great Job!

Whiteley Wharf is a great vacation setting. The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable.

When asked if Charles would recommend Cottage Connection of Maine to family and friends, he commented "Cottage connection makes for a hassle free vacation, great friendly staff. I chose Fairview on Lucy's (reservation agent) recommendation. Renting from Cottage Connection was a smooth painless transaction from start to finish"

What did the Hopkins find to be the best part of their vacation? "The house (Fairview) was awesome, best equipped house we have ever rented" and their biggest surprise of their stay? "The house in general, outstanding view, great fire pit with plenty of good dry wood for evening fires. The kitchen was equipped beyond any expectations". The Hopkins recommends to the homeowners "keep up the good work & you have a beautiful home".

Found Cottage Connection via internet search and staff very helpful and easy to deal with

We enjoyed the surroundings and the ease for kayaking, biking and walking. A nice place with great water views. Only detraction was neighbors rooster!

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.

Wonderful, comfortable beds. Loved sitting on the screened Nest porch and reading. We enjoyed walks along King Phillips Trail, walking to the East Boothbay General Store, walking around Boothbay Harbor, the Botanical Garden, the Pink Lady Capt Combo and would have no problem recommended all of the above to anyone visiting this location. House is very comfortable.

Check in and check out was easy. The reservation and stay went smoothly.

Very comfortable beds. We would return, it was a sweet cottage to vacation at in a very quiet area. One of our favorite things to do while at Serendipity was kayaking with my kids. They loved getting around in the water and trying to go to other areas in the water.
