This house was everything we were hoping for and more. It was exceptionally clean, cared for, and had everything we needed for our family’s home away from home. The location was perfect, as well—secluded but near enough things to keep the entire family content with options for activities and relaxation.We had an amazing week!

We loved our stay at this wonderful cabin by the water. The setting is spectacular and the cabins placement along the shore and in the town of Winter Harbor is perfectly designed to help visitors achieve serenity. Hard to imagine a better way to escape the daily grind of life at home. And The management service by Coastal Posh Management was very responsive and helpful. There is so much quiet beauty for you there.

Property was quaint and the location is perfect. Our family enjoyed the stay. It was well equipped. There were six of us so I will say the last one to shower at the end of the day definitely had a cold shower. Other than that it was great and we would stay again. The house was clean and well maintained.

Beautiful place

Gorgeous private waterfront property — scenic, quiet. Winter harbor has essentials and a few nice places to eat. Taking my morning coffee out back to watch the lobster boats check traps and seals bob around in the harbor was a treat.

A true dream property! As advertised and perhaps even better than advertised. The house is outfitted with all the basics you need to cook, sleep, shower, watch TV, and more. The location is UNBELIEVABLY beautiful! The most picturesque place I have ever stayed. The ocean is feet from the house and the windows/views are amazing. The structure has character and charm and is so cozy with plenty of seating and sleeping arrangements. Check-in and checkout were easy and very reasonable. We had an absolutely amazing time. I went with my two friends; next time I want to go with my husband. I will DEFINITELY be back. Absolutely worth every penny. A real dream experience (and I live in Maine!).
