Dow Road Waterfront - Privately situated

Those of us who have spent summers in Maine since childhood can recognize when a cottage hits all the marks, and this one does. It’s just perfect. Not fancy. You don’t want fancy. But it is cozy and earthy and elegant, outfitted with what you need, access to quiet harbors, a good chair to sit by the sea in, a comfy bed with an ocean breeze. This spot is all that. My mom, a local, says it felt like home.If I’m lucky, I’ll get to go back! Grateful

Beautiful cove, private setting, quiet and just enough creature comforts.

Very peaceful location, quiet and right on the ocean! We had a very relaxing time reading and cooking on the grill. Keeping the windows open kept the place cool witb the nice ocean breeze.

Loved this cottage, had everything you need for a week away from the world. The listing says there is a TV when there isn't (which was OK for us, but may not be for other guests). Wifi was great and kitchen was well equipped. Check-in was confusing, we never received check-in instructions. I inquired on the morning of my reservation and was told "just go straight to the house." I'd recommend detailing check-in processes, even if simple so guests feel at ease. Also the house isn't on Google Maps so I'd recommend including instructions on how to find the place. Overall great stay!

Our stay was lovely. It was perfect for us. The serenity, peace and quiet were just what we needed. The only downfalls for us were the tub and the bed lamps. Tub was clean but the caulking was black and scary. And the bed lamps were broken and hanging useless and gangly but you need them to see because it's dark in there. I would also have preferred a guide to the place in one spot as opposed to hunting around the house for the instructions. Some important ones were easy to miss. I hope this is seen as constructive I do not mean to disparage. All in all we really did have a great stay.

My husband and I chose this property to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and it was everything that we wanted and needed in a week away in Deer Isle. The property is beautifully maintained, private and spacious. We were able to access the shoreline everyday via a wooden staircase. We ate lunch facing the ocean in the Adirondack Chairs. The grill was clean and easy to use. The house is as advertised and we loved the rustic charm of the knotty pine. The ocean-facing windows provided beautiful salty breezes. The Kitchen came equipped with everything that we needed. The appliances worked well. The bed was comfortable as well as the futon. We were so pleased that we rented kayaks for the week from Maine Rental and Real Estate, who also served as our local resource for our stay. They were delivered and picked up and in great condition. We were seeking an opportunity to explore the area and lean into the quiet beauty of Down East Maine. The property and location hit every mark.
