We were very pleased with the service from Cottage Connection. The maintenance man, Richard Start was very customer friendly and helpful. The staff responding to our planning emails were also very responsive and helpful, Lucy & Melba. We were expecting to have internet connection to check on activities in the area but that did not happen. Melba and Rich explained the difficulty with the local provider. We are strongly considering booking for the same week next year, same cottage. Thank you for this opportunity to provide feedback.

The best part of our vacation was the spectacular view from the cottage looking over the Atlantic with the waves crashing on the coast right below our feet, the three lighthouses we could see from the large windows at the cottage, the fog and the changes in tides. The view is spectacular!

Exceeded expectations!
I read the reviews beforehand and had high expectations. The house exceeded those. It is situated in a camp- like setting with dense woods, water views, unpaved driveway, etc. The contemporary house is equipped with high-end appliances, walls of windows, and THEE most efficient wood stove I've encountered. 3 small logs took the chill off one evening. It feels like Frank Lloyd Wright meets IKEA. The owners have taken care of all those small details by stocking the house with paper towels, band-aids, shampoo,nail clippers, thermometer, you name it. They recommended a place to rent kayaks and on a moments notice, I had two kayaks delivered. My 2 teenagers spent hours on the river kayaking with seals frolicking nearby while my husband and I enjoyed some wine on the Adirondack chairs taking pictures of them. One evening was spent playing scatagories ( supplied by the owners) after we cooked lobsters from the neighboring vendor. Nary an iPod, iPad, tv or any device was in sight or in use! When I needed to send pics to family, WiFi was readily available. A memorable house, a memorable vacation!

"Boy, we really appreciated being able to ship our boxes ahead of time, that was great. We LOVE the place. Happy that the water tasted better this year. The landscaping to the area where cars parked seems to alleviate the soggy situation from prior stays".

The stay was a 98% and I will recommend Blackberry Cove Cottage to friends. Also, a special Thanks to Lucy and the staff at Cottage Connection for excellent and cheerful service.

We spent a lovely week at Blackberry Cove Cottage and enjoyed both the amenities of the cottage and the surrounding nature. I hadn't expected the cottage to be so well stocked, not only with utensils and spices, but with books, DVDs, board games and cards.
As a trained chef I brought many spices, herbs and specialty utensils. However, they were not needed. The house was stocked with any thing you needed for a quiet get away. The sunsets were beautiful. It was so nice to feel we were the only two people here, well along with our Mini Pin, who had a wonderful time exploring the nature and the water. We enjoyed just the peacefulness, which we both needed. We had a very relaxing time. I am sure we will be back!!

Why did you choose Cottage Connection? Past guest and positive rental experience.
What was the best part of your rental experience? Knowing that the people at Cottage Connection stood behind their policies and works very hard to ensure that your vacation property is to your standards, if not better.
If you were to recommend us to friends and family, what would you say? The staff is very knowledgeable and professional, yet very friendly.

What was the biggest surprise about your stay? How nice Sunrise was, how quiet and private. Good launching point for days trips (location).

the staff at cottage connection are very helpful, friendly and genuinely want you to enjoy your vacation and Maine. Hope they continue doing what they do so well. The staff are also very thoughtful. Having the outside light on when I arrived (Late) was extremely thoughtful and they are ALWAYS prompt if there are any issues or problems.

I found The Nest by my brother and sister in law as they had stayed at the house and highly recommended it to me. This cottage is quaint and very comfortable. Been coming back for a number of years - LOVE the cottage and the ocean views.

Saw the property on Flip Key and was curious. Made an inquiry to Cottage Connection through FlipKey and began to plan our honeymoon at Sunrise. Have already recommended Cottage Connection to family and friends.
Property
The best part of our rental experience was Sunrise's peaceful setting and quiet. We were on our honeymoon and this was the perfect spot. We were pleasantly surprised with the lovely furnishings and design of the property. Was told that we were Sunrise's second couple to use it as a Honeymoon spot this year. We could see why, it truly was very private, peaceful and cozy!

Lazy Days offered house with water views and accommodations for 6. It is well furnished house. It is well stocked and the only drawback is the narrow stairs and need for better lighting.

We had a lovely time at Fairview! Thank you for being dog-friendly and for keeping a well stocked kitchen. My family enjoyed the screened in porch as well the fire pit on one cool evening. Our dog, Ghost, loved exploring the shore and swimming in the river. He learned how to water retrieve off the dock! I hope we can come back next year. What a perfect week.

We came to the United States and to Maine for our honeymoon. We went to the local Chamber of Commerce in Boothbay Harbor who directed us to Cottage Connection of Maine.
Cottage Connection staffers found the perfect location for my husband and I to honeymoon and worked with us to make our stay possible. The staff of Cottage Connection are very professional and good at what they do, but they also made us feel like we had been friends for years. They saw to our every need.

Our biggest surprise was how much everyone went above and beyond to make our honeymoon/stay special. Sunrise was comfortable as well as very romantic, especially with its working fireplaces. Very private and quiet.

We have been coming to Boothbay area since 1983 - every year for about 10 years and intermittently since then, we have stayed mostly on Knickerbocker Lake and our family (husband, grown son, wife and grandchild and our grown daughter, wanted to replicate the joy of a lake in a MUCH better house! Worked so well. The house is lovely and worked so well for all of us. The lake was wonderful for swimming, canoeing and fishing. Wonderful place. Thank you!
