Waterfront Cottage w/ Fireplace & Deck - Minutes to Downtown

Stunning water views await at this 1BR cottage situated mere minutes from downtown Freeport shopping and dining.

Launch a kayak from your backyard, dine al fresco on the oceanfront deck, and spend quiet evenings by the wood-burning fireplace.

Traveling with a larger group? Reserve this cottage and the house next door to accommodate additional guests, and plan a family gathering to remember.

ABOUT THE HOME

Step inside this sun-drenched cottage, where pinewood interiors add warmth and classic Maine charm.

In the main living area, two sofas invite you to cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace and watch your favorite shows on the 32” flat screen TV. Or kick back in the second living area, where the twin-sized daybed is located - use it as a couch or a bed with gorgeous ocean views.
Begin the day perched at the breakfast bar with a cup of morning coffee, and whip up brunch in the fully equipped kitchen with gas range. Savor your home cooking at the table for four, or dine al fresco on the waterfront deck.

Get a good night’s sleep in the master bedroom with a queen-size bed. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination and is stocked with hotel-quality towels and a starter supply of bath amenities.

Your stay includes complimentary Wi-Fi and parking for one car in the driveway across the street in front of the shed with the fox weathervane on top.

THE LOCATION

Amazing location, marred by issues
The cottage is nice, and the owners have upgraded the patio furniture, the grill, etc. The location is fantastic, and the view is amazing. Less amazing is the spotty wireless (not enough to work on Zoom all day), and the rat that paid a visit in the bedroom on the last night.

Vacasa communication issues
The home was great. All four beds in one room, a queen and bunk beds, so not suitable for 4 adults. Other than that, well appointed and maintained. No notebook with garbage instructions or how to use TV. Arrived to find some cleanliness issues and two broken chairs on deck. Not major, particularly for a Maine coast bungalow that may have been vacant for a while. Contacted Vacasa on Saturday evening. Sunday and Monday. Added VRBO on Monday. Local team showed Monday and mitigated problems. They said they hadn't heard anything until Monday. Every individual was polite and helpful, but somewhere between service phone and local team there was a big gap. When they arrived they still did not have all notes from earlier calls. Be careful of Vacasa management.

Unfortunate experience
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice but better if I had electric and water.The first night I arrived after the storm hit I had no power so I fumbled around in the dark. It was pretty daunting. It would have been nice to have been notified there was no electricity and therefore no water due to being on a pump I suppose. I could have brought some gallons of water to at least flush the toilet. I called the rental company but there was nothing they could do about it. We finally got power on the last day I was there and then it was fabulous (on the 4th day). They company did bring out some bottled water which was nice of them but it was a little late and after I complained. I do feel they could have had gallons of water there when I arrived or at least had informed me better.

Freeport get-a-way.
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Light bulbs out in 4 places, not enough dishwasher soap, commode had a bad odor. All of these things were easily fixable if we had been able to contact the turnkey staff quickly. With a short stay ~ a quick response is crucial.

Nice - but a few flaws
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a nice cottage with a beautiful perch overlooking the bay. Close enough to Freeport and Portland but far enough to feel like a real getaway. Very comfortable space, and for our November visit the fireplace was an amazing amenity. Very clean overall, and the grill was practically brand new. You can tell the property is just used as a rental, and there are some finer details that are lacking (sliding door doesn't shut properly, cart full of cleaning supplies sitting right out in the open in the bathroom, pillows were well worn, etc.) - nothing major, but for the price we paid I guess I expected a little more. Oh, and they clearly have a mouse problem - noticed a ton of droppings under the sink, and one night we awoke to a mouse clawing around in the wall. I wasn't overly fazed given it's a cottage, but again a bit surprising for this price. Had a nice three nights here, but I would look elsewhere for a future visit.

A beautiful home base for Maine exploring!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I loved our stay in this little cottage right in the Ocean. We were pleasantly surprised by this understated cottage-it had beautiful views and we were close enough to take day trips to Portland and small towns surrounding the area. Super close to hiking trails.

Amazing!
Unassuming from the road, but utterly fantastic once inside. As soon as you enter the property, the views out the back windows are amazing. The interior of the property is so inviting and comfortable, and the back deck area opened up to beautiful views. We spent so much time sitting outside just looking at the water. It was just a quick drive to Freeport and is very close to a very cool market as well where we did all of our grocery shopping. I would recommend this property to anyone and will absolutely keep it in mind for future trips to Maine. Thank you!!

We Love Maine!
Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this lovely bungalow on the ocean, and were overall, very pleased. We packed planning on the listed washer/dryer, so were disappointed to find the house without that amenity. Otherwise, we loved it! The house was clean, comfy, and well outfitted for our needs. The TurnKey team was helpful in helping us gain access and promptly responded to our texts.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our vacation home was just what we pictured. Beautiful bayside property ina very quiet neighborhood. The inside was nicely decorated and so comfortable. We were puzzled by the lack of a washer and dryer. All info suggested that we would have one. Luckily we weren’t counting on it and were happy to spend our time playing instead of doing chores!
