Excellent accommodations and hosts! Loved being right on the water, going down in the morning for a short walk, watching the tide come in and go out. Hosts were excellent, very thoughtful and helpful. Place was super clean with everything we needed and very convenient to the places we wanted to visit. Highly recommend.
Our stay at Primrose a was exceptionally lovely and exceeded our expectations. The hosts are outstanding and very accommodating. It was perfectly clean. You will not be disappointed if you choose this location, but don’t tell too many people and let out the secret.
Oh my this place was perfect! Our host was great and very helpful and very funny. The view from the kitchen window and living room was beautiful. A great back porch to sit out on and see the water. A perfect place to walk down to the water and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The inside was very clean and accommodating for 4 adults. A perfect location for day trips and good food. I cannot say enough good things about this place.
This is our second time staying with Alex and Siobhan, and we will be back!!! The first time we stayed in the 1 bedroom "loft" which was excellent, this time was even better, we stayed on the other side with 2 bedrooms which had way more room than needed but it was nice to have the washer and dryer. Beautiful view of the water, convenient location to all the sites we wanted to visit. Kitchen is fully equipped if you decide to cook. Highly recommend!!!!
This property is a perfect mix of a quite location with access to a relaxing beach area and yet close to anything you might possibly need with stores, restaurants and a multitude of other things to do and see. The absolute most enjoyable vaction we have probably ever had.
A little out of town in a cove overlooking the ocean.
Nice place to relax on the patio and a little walk down to the private beach.
Rockland is a nice town - plenty of places to stroll and places to eat - a good place as a base for our trip.
Alex and Siobhan have a comfortable, well-outfitted little place. The location was perfect for us, with the lovely small beach at the back of the house and the proximity to other quaint seaside towns. Communication was excellent and very helpful.
My wife and I choose to make this part of our 10 day vacation as our wind down time. The house was centrally located and allowed us to make several day trips. The house was very well stocked and very comfortable. We would stay again.
The owners were so accommodating with lots of communication by text. The view from the deck and beach were spectacular! The beds were great and very comfortable. Close to everything in Rockland.
We enjoyed our stay. The hosts were lovely. We enjoyed the ocean view, ocean smells and walks on our little beach. The house had everything we needed including very comfortable beds. The AC’s and washer and dryer were a plus. Also the deck was wonderful for us!! The view from the kitchen was great too.
Convenient location and you can’t beat the view. Lots of little extras (especially appreciated the chocolate).
Felt cozy. Kitchen had all of the essential equipment and salt and pepper.
Walk to the water was easy and closer than expected.
Would stay here again.
Everything was better than expected !
We arrived at 11pm and Alex came to welcome us. He was so Nice!
The house was clean and the towels and sheets smell so good.
The private beach is only a few steps from the house
We would go back anytime
Very lovely property with an idyllic view of the cove and access to a small beach, perfectly clean and tidy, with big well equipped kitchen, large living space and beautiful deck. Excellent communication with the host, having AC and laundry unit was very important/essential, thank you for so many welcome treats! We had an amazing stay and would love to be back!
A beautiful location, just a short distance from so many things. Our plan was to rest and relax, we couldn't have asked for a better place to do that. Just watching the tide come in and go out each day with lovely Fall views was perfect! Alex and Siobhan were fabulous hosts with great suggestions. Thank you!
This cottage was perfect for our needs. We were on the water but also a quick drive to Rockland and Camden.
There were many great restaurants in the area as well as some beautiful views of lighthouses. Camden HIlls State Park was a short drive away and the drive up Mount Battie was spectacular. The cottage was spotlessly clean with a sweet Irish cottage vibe. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Great view as advertised.
The owner’s welcome was outstanding and their cottage was well stocked with every possible kitchen accessory, all necessary paper and cleaning products,
Bathroom and bedroom linens and soaps and even assorted welcoming coffee and chocolate.
Couldn’t not have been better!
Good view, nice beds, roomy for 2 to 4 people. The rental is pretty true to the description. Clean and comfortable. But it is close to the highway and the beach access is tricky with wet rocks at the end of the path.
Returned to the area to spend a little getaway time and liked the centralized location. House was warm and inviting. Had everything we needed and lots of space. Nice deck with grill and kitchen was nicely stocked with most things you’d need. Host met us upon arrival and was very nice and funny. We could have talked for hours. House as advertised, we enjoyed the views during our stay. Communications were perfect. Very clean! Great location to most coastal areas of interest. Three lighthouses very close by.
Very comfortable in all repects. Well equipped kitchen, good beds, plenty of linens, great view. Very convenient location, almost too close to Rte1.
Wonderful grassy backyard and easy path to a nearly empty beach.
I would recommeng thos to anyone except if they wanted solutude.
