Awesome Maine getaway!

This cute apartment right on the main coastal highway is in a great location (6 miles from Belfast, ~20 miles from Camden, etc) for exploring all Maine has to offer. The size is perfect for one or two people to be very comfortable in a "home away from home." For longer stays (I stayed 2 weeks), there is a laundromat about 5 miles away that is large, clean and very efficient.

Perfect place for us!

We enjoyed our stay in this small but very functional apartment. There are quite a few stairs inorder to enter which was no problem for us however, someone with mobility issues should avoid. Great location on Route 1 along the midcoast. Nice trails across the road for our dog which go to the ocean. Thank you!! Would stay again.

Nice Maine stay

A nice place, with a comfortable bed. Lots of stairs but we had no problem with them. Do wish there had been some sugar.coffee for the 1st day or two. Nice kitchen. It doe get very dark and finding the driveway was tough, solar lights or reflective signs could be very helpful. Nice location, pleasant stay.

Perfect Couple Getaway

My husband and I stayed for about 2 weeks. The hosts were super helpful and were available whenever we had a question. The location afforded us daily jaunts to hiking, biking, and kayaking. We especially liked the proximity of Sandy Beach for our evening swim. Entry has an outside stairway that's may be tough for those who are not steady on their feet. But it suited us well.

This place is the perfect spot to be centrally located to everything we wanted to do/see. Loved staying here. It had everything and more that we needed. Each day we ventured out with our pups to explore the areas and came back to a place of complete rest and relaxation. We even enjoyed sitting in the lawn chairs and watching the traffic go by. Yes! Go get some lobster from a local place up the road and make your own lobster rolls and even breakfast. Yummmmmm. Can't wait till we are able to stay again. Thank you so much for your beautiful and comfortable place to stay.

Maine Trip

Was a decent place - the refrigerator wasn’t on when we got there and didn’t realize it until the morning and we had done a lot of shopping. Kitchen wasn’t very well stocked compared to other places we stayed. There was no book recommending restaurants or other things to do in the area. Encountered a few roaches. Still would recommend.

the apartment was quaint, but it could have been cleaner. Lots of dead insects and debris. The bed was a full, not a queen and left a lot to be desired. There was dog debris in the entranceway that was unpleasant. Perhaps it was too early in the season for an equipped apartment.
