Rick and Sabrina‘s place was a great spot for us to stay while exploring Acadia and the surrounding areas. It was clean, comfortable and close to restaurants, shops, …. It felt like away from home.
This trip was all about relaxation after two years without a vacation. The place felt like home away from home—cozy, warm, and comfortable, with restful nights. My dog loved it right away, and I felt truly welcomed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was private, clean and perfectly located. We had everything we needed including some surprise eggs from the chickens who roam around the property. Rick and Sabrina were excellent hosts. Thank you again for a wonderful time.
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.
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.

Convenient location to go either east or west to travel to. Comfortable and a nice living space for 4-5 days. Enjoyed our stay.
This was such a a lovely spot and great hosts! Rick and Sabrina were very warm and welcoming. The space was clean and the patio area outside is a peaceful spot for morning coffee. The space is equipped for cooking as well if you prefer that over takeout .

The Nest is a beautiful place. It was very cozy, equiped, organized, and most importantly clean.
The Communicatio was great even though I did not need anything.
It has a lot of space and a nice kitchen if you don't feel like eating out.
Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
property was cental in location, air conditioner was not properly cooling and no instructional book on use of ac or use of tv. Could have used a notebook from the owner explaining the operation of these things.
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.
