Cottage vacation rentals in South Bristol

The most beautiful place, exceeding all expectations. The views are spectacular. We breathed in peace and tranquility. A fabulous place to celebrate my 80th birthday with the whole family -- 16 of us. Everyone was comfortable in the space. In addition to being the perfect host, Samantha provided surprise extras which was such fun! Just a few of the highlights: S'mores at the firepit, lobster dinners, seals, bald eagles and fireworks. She made our stay truly memorable. My family gives the place the highest recommendation.

A great house and location right on the water. We arrived well after dark, Tom came and met us at the property to make sure we got situated. Plenty of room for a family of four and more. We enjoyed the boats and fishing and hiking in the area. The game room was nice to have on a rainy day. The kitchen has everything you need. Really enjoyed our long weekend here.

Was a great place for a weekend get together with our family. Right on the water and a great throwback feel but with all the amenities.

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

We had a very relaxing vacation. Verona Island is convenient for day trips to a number of attractions like Acadia, Camden and even Monhegan Island. Even when the weather was bad there was plenty of table space for puzzling, Bananagrams and Scrabble. The house was comfortable with views of the Penobscot River.

Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

Carole was a pleasure to stay with. She was always responsive, and had a lot of great recommendations for what to do. Her place is absolutely beautiful, and staying at it was one of my favorite memories. I hope to come back some time!

We felt right at home at LInda's place. It is beautifully furnished and decorated and there is plenty of space. Everything was spotless. Having a washer and dryer really made a difference. The cottage is close to a busy road so there was some road noise outside, but in the cottage it was quiet and peaceful. Linda is very friendly and helpful and had put out welcome muffins for us, which was such a nice touch. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful setting and peaceful. Great place to rest and relax. Easy access to town and restaurants. Will definitely return!

My wife and I go to Boothbay Harbor every anniversary. We had a great place last year and it was not available. So we gave Julie‘s place a try. We were not disappointed. It was incredibly private. It was exactly as advertised. The waterfront was gorgeous. The campfire area was perfect. And the location to town was also just exactly right. Julie was incredibly responsive when we had questions. We felt right at home. Oh, and the kitchen was very well appointed. Great for cooking. Would definitely go back and recommend it to others. One of the best.

Christine’s place was very clean and cozy and the location on the water couldn’t be beat. We were in town to visit Bowdoin, so didn’t take advantage of the kayaks, but loved waking up to the water view each morning. Everything you need is within a 10 minute drive and while we didn’t cook, the kitchen looked well stocked.

Popham beach stay was great! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and long walks twice a day. The house itself is very roomy with lots of space for everyone. Good heating and comfortable furniture. The tapwater is very rusty so be prepared but drinking water is provided. The floors are unfinished wood so you’ll need shoes to avoid splinters but overall, it’s a very comfortable place in a great location!

Perfect little Maine cabin getaway! We enjoyed our stay so much. The cabin was clean, easy to find, and had everything we needed for four people and two dogs. Cannot recommend enough!

Our stay at the River View Casita was wonderful! It’s a small, cozy space - perfect for two people. It’s very bright and airy, which we loved. The instructions to find the house were super helpful and after the first time - it was very easy to come and go. We did locate and walk down to the dock, which was beautiful, but it was just a little too cumbersome to bring chairs and food down there, so we didn’t spend as much time as we thought we would. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend it!

We are three friends who wanted to go to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens to photograph. We were there over a 3 day weekend in early May. Nancy's house was in a great location for us and only 10 minutes from the gardens. It is located at the end of a road. The view from the living room of the Sheepscott River was quite nice. The house was very clean which we appreciated and had all the amenities for cooking that we needed. The house is in striking distance of Boothbay and East Boothbay Harbor and Pemiquid Point. Highly recommend two restaurants: The Water Street Kitchen and Bar in Wiscasset and King Eider Pub and Restaurant in Damariscotta.

Derek’s home is definitely worth a visit! The photos shown is exactly what you will be getting. In my opinion, it is even better in person. The neighborhood and lake was peaceful and quiet. Also, great fishing. Fast catches and decent sized bass. I will definitely be coming back. Derek is a phenomenal host and very understanding.

I stayed at Liz and Alex’s stunning place at the beginning of September. This was either my 3rd or 4th time and I love being there. The quiet and the utter peacefulness of being literally on the banks of the estuarial river is amazing. Although I was only able to be there for 2 nights this time, I was recharged and ready to go back home when I left. On other visits I’ve taken advantage of being near the delightful town of Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Hidden Valley Nature Preserve, Muscongus Bay Lobster dock, the Audubon preserve in Bremen, and so many others. On this visit I stayed put, letting the inward and outward flow of the river soothe me while I read and wrote. On this visit I also had a nice long chat with Liz, a remarkably talented woman. See her book and ask about her films when you go.

This is a great property. it was the perfect size for my husband and I. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Jeff was easy to reach with questions and provided clear instructions. The location is great for easy access to wander the coastal sites.

We had a wonderful stay in Christmas Cove. The house is exactly as described. If you can’t handle rustic this place is not for you. We found it charming, and the location absolute perfection. The host and her family were helpful and went out of their way to make sure our stay was great! We very much enjoyed our time and appreciated the charm of the Red House!

What an awesome airbnb! The views are stunning and surroundings couldn’t have been more peaceful. The cottage itself was exceptional and had everything I needed and more. Wish I could've stayed there longer! 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone!

I have zero complaints about Gordon's home. Everything was accurately described and the property was beautiful! it is right on the pond and the pictures do it justice. Yes, it's a little small and gets cold in the winter but it's worth it if you want to stay somewhere pretty without breaking the bank. Also, he has 3 heaters. We didn't leave them on because we were gone a lot of the time but it probably would have stayed warm if we did. This is really a great property for a couple! Highly recommended.
