We loved this property and had a great time staying here. It was clean and check in/check out were a breeze. Nothing better than a cup of coffee on the porch watching the wildlife on the water in the morning!
Property was great. But we had no water for one of our three days of our stay. We had to call to get someone out to fix it, and they didnât know how. It set the tone for our stay.
The view from the deck is very nice. But there is mold in the lower level. The water is questionable, and when asked about it, we were told that renters are told to bring their own. We didn't see that on the listing. The add on fees that Vacasa charges were more than we paid for the 2 night stay. There is a coffee maker, but bring your own coffee. They don't supply it. There is a wood stove, but bring your own wood. They don't supply it. Overall quite unhappy with our stay considering the price.
We got to the home and it was not as described in photos. The left side of roof was covered with moss and there were dead branches all over it. The front door was covered in cobwebs. Rusty nail sticking up from the threshold molding entering the kitchen. Also that threshold was not flat to the floor so itâs a tripping hazard. There is an overwhelming smell of mold/mildew/musty odor. The sliders and window to open them and they were all covered in dead bugs and cobwebs. The window screens were warped and some did not line up. One of the sliders as well as one of each sliding window was fogged over with a film. This foggy film would not dissipate after airing the place out. There was a putrid/foul smell coming from the cabinet under the kitchen sink. The furniture was torn and dirty. There is a teak table on the deck which was broken and unusable. There were cobwebs on the ceiling in common area and bedrooms. The beds were so uncomfortable, box springs had rips in it. The lower level smells worse than the upstairs with the same foggy, cobweb covered windows and slider. The fans in the house were covered in grey dust. Iâd be happy to share photos if needed.
Beautiful property. Saw seals from living room catching fish. Front door did not lock but itâs a safe neighborhood but a bit isolated. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Laundry facilities were a great help!
Gorgeous views of the water and excellent service and communication.
If you have any kind of allergies or are sensitive to mold/mildew smells, this home is not for you! The home is built on a huge rock on the waterâs edge. So it is extremely damp and has a horrible odor. We booked it for three nights and were unable to stay even a single night. The property manager (Vacasa) responded quickly when we notified them with our concerns upon check in and seemed understanding of our dilemma. However, they only offered to refund our cleaning fee (aka very minimal refund) when we told them we could not stay. The home is in desperate need of multiple dehumidifiers, fans, DampRid, etc. There is a huge, old looking dehumidifier in the living room. But there is a âDo Not Useâ label on it. Other things to know⊠Description of property has dishwasher listed as amenity. But again, there is a âDo Not Use" label on it. The home was not maintained to our standards⊠Appliances not working, rusty shower rod, furniture stained and frayed, no screen on sliding door, windows fogged, only a couple of windows were operational and many bugs and spider webs inside the home. We have many more minor complaints and would not recommend this rental to anyone.
We needed a quiet place to visit with elderly aunt and uncle. This was a great place with all the living space on the same floor with spacious area to visit.
Unable to enter on arrival. Access code did not work and unable to open with key. Had to wait for someone to come let us in. This woman said we would get some sort of rebate. Still waiting for word on this
We couldnât have been happier. Perfect view, perfect weather, nice furnishings, and just the romantic getaway we needed! It was a perfect slice of heaven in Westport Maine and we will be back!!
We loved our stay; cabin was extremely well-equipped with lobster pots, good knives (and lots of cutlery) and most importantly, comfortable beds. I was a tad nervous to book the cabin due to some reviews posted here, but we found the layout comfortable despite the lack of a living room couch. The deck has a wooden dining table with enough chairs and extra cushions. We saw otters, lobster fishermen, jumping fish and many birds. There are nearby cabins/rentals but we did not see a single person over the two night stay.
The only issue we had was with the front door. The keypad wasnât working, and after calling Vasca, we still werenât able to get into the key box either. Once we got additional directions, we were able to get in but we found locking the door to be another ordeal. The handle to the home does not appear to be working and it really should be replaced. Despite the extra hassle, we still loved the stay.
And of course, the million dollar view; super relaxing and beautiful.
We enjoyed our stay in Maine. The unit was exactly as advertised, so no surprises. Services are all about 8 miles away in Wiscasset but it was an easy ride. Lots of time on the deck overlooking the bay made the stay wonderful, exactly what we were looking for.The unit has lots of places to sit inside and out and the kitchen is very functional. The amenities are not lavish but this is a Maine cottage and it is very nice.
Enjoyed the stay and would return if we are in Maine again

Check in was weird, digital code did not work and had to call Vacasa to gain entrance to cabin. Smoke alarm was going off when we entered the property. No firewood for listed fireplace, but plenty of soap for washer and dishwasher. Only one mirror in the entire place.
The starkness of the accommodations aside, the view is beyond amazing. We rearranged furniture for the duration of our stay to enjoy it to the maximum. Visited the shoreline several times, but would suggest caution if you have bad knees or poor balance. The seaweed covered shore is gorgeous but can be tricky to navigate.
Really well stocked kitchen with pretty much any cooking implements you could need, but be sure to pack coffee and/or tea! No courtesy tea/coffee on site. Nearby groccery stores make it easy to replace anything you need.
Great quiet location lots of afternoon sun right on the water
Great quiet location lots of afternoon sun right on the water. Great kitchen and comfortable beds. Only downfall no love seats or couches only a pull out couch in the basement that was not worthy of sitting on . Otherwise a great place
Loved the place, it was beautiful, private, and quiet. However, if we had known there werenât screens on big windows, the spiral staircase guardrails weâre far apart, and the porch slats were so wide open we would have chosen a more age appropriate option.
There wasnât a guide so we didnât know where to take trash or how to clean up etc. the basement door was unlocked when we arrived which was odd, but no big deal.
Overall itâs a great space, but not child friendly and could use some love.
Secluded, quiet place with nice views of the bay, although access to the water is a bit problematic. Rooms were clean and neatly furnished however better lighting and more comfortable seating would be nice.
A lovely house in a beautiful location. Lots to do in this general area, including some great restaurants (highly recommend driving to Boothbay Harbor!).
Won't stay with VACASA again, though. Main complaints were poor communication and some maintenance issues on property. Clean enough, but lots of stuff was broken or in bad repair.
This house has so much potential! Maybe if it was managed by an individual, but it seems that VACASA is too large to manage all of these small, remote properties sufficiently.
The listing was listed as Wiscassett, this is not accurate. The couch was broken and not useable. The house was clean. The view was spectacular. But the place absolutely left something to be desired for the price, wouldnât stay there again, there are much better places with equally spectacular views. If you wish to watch tv, the tv is in the basement and you can sit on hard wooden chairs.
