Relaxing, beautiful stay

My 2 girl friends and I loved our stay on Little John Island. Close enough to Portland to pop in when we wanted, but lots of beautiful walking, swimming, and kayaking opportunities right in the backyard. Little John Island is truly a gem and we would love to come back!

Lovely island getaway

Anchor Loft was a perfect spot for a beautiful and laid back trip to coastal Maine. The property is well maintained and easy to access. The loft is private and comfortable. Communication was great. Access to kayaks and bikes made it easy to explore Littlejohn and Chebeague islands. We hope to be back!

Lovely waterfront getaway

We had a wonderful mini retreat at the charming anchor loft! The loft had everything we needed, carefully designed, furnished, and organized, spotlessly clean, and with views of water everywhere. The hosts were available and responsive. We enjoyed easy access to walking trails and time sitting on the porch. We loved this place!

Big Time on Littlejohn

20 minutes to Portland and it feels further, a tranquil oasis on Casco Bay. Well designed studio layout creates multiple interior spaces and the outdoor amenities are amazing (do not expect white sand beaches 😃).

I had no cell service (Verizon) when we were in the middle of Cousins Island so I was not able to pull up the check-in email Paul had sent a few days prior which I had read but thought I could pull up upon arrival. I was able to call him and he came right over to tell us where to park & we figured out the WiFi password. We had a really nice 3 day stay at Anchor Loft. Originally I booked a hotel in Freeport for our annual family reunion. Thank God I found this place instead and was able to cancel the hotel. This place is so comfortable with beautiful views every which way you turn. We took a walk to and around the preserve, then back around the island past the local dock-about a 3.2 mile loop. We sat on our beach chairs on the rocks by the bay on the property reading our books. We enjoyed the sunshine and lovely breeze watching the ferry going back and forth to Chebeague Island. Who needs to go to the beach with sand. We ate dinner at the Royal River Grill which I highly recommend. We hope to come back again to take the ferry, ride bikes & take the kayaks out on the bay. Sitting out on the deck star gazing was a real bonus as well.

cute apartment, fun location

The apartment was perfect for a quick get away with my husband. It is very private. Our original plans fell through, so we improvised things to do. It took about 15 minutes to drive into Portland for the day. There are plenty of hiking spots in the area, including the nature reserve that is an easy walk from the apartment and a longer trail into Yarmouth. We used the bikes provided and took the ferry to Chebeague island and biked around stopping at many unique beaches. We would stay there again in a heart beat.

View!

Where to start??!! The view and the location of the property are so beautiful. The apartment is cozy yet spacious and offers plenty of windows and a balcony where you can look out at the water while sipping your morning coffee. The property is located in walking distance to the preserve which is a huge bonus! There’s a beach on the property where you can go and swim,collect seashells,crab or just relax! Paul and Linda are so welcoming and very accommodating! We fell in love with Maine during our stay and we highly recommend booking this property so you can experience and explore all that Maine has to offer!

Perfect home base for exploration

The Anchor Loft was the perfect location for my kids and I. Situated snugly on Little John Island, you cross a narrow bridge to get to the property. Once you are there its just steps to the water and the beautiful local flora and fauna. Elsewhere on the island is the Little John preserve where you can hike and visit the beach. The loft itself was clean and smartly stocked. The beds and chairs were comfortable. The outdoor raised seating was perfect for quiet nights enjoying nature. We would definitely return.

Great Coastal Retreat

Located for easy access to the must-see locations on coastal Maine. Apartment is as pictured and described. Very cute and has everything for any length of stay. Go explore off island or stay put and enjoy the ocean scenery, the nice walks at the perserve and at the water. Near many restaurants, shopping and recreational areas. Hosts are very nice and allow for privacy on their property. Their Goldens are adorable, well-behaved, and very friendly if they decide to pay a visit. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for peace, you’ve found it

The Anchor Loft is the perfect size for the solo traveler or a duo and has everything you need to live comfortably for your getaway. Very clean, up to date, well maintained, and in a quiet, peaceful, and absolutely gorgeous setting. Far superior to a hotel for the same or a lesser price. If you need anything while at the property, Paul is very responsive, personable, and kind. Very easy to make trips into town or nearby Portland and Freeport. A great place to come back to after a longer day trip in the region for hiking, sailing, lighthouse touring etc. Several good food options in Yarmouth and Freeport as well if, like me, you don’t want to cook on your vacation and like to have plenty of good options close by - I recommend the Royal River Grillhouse for a really good dinner. I will be back.

Beautiful place, great based for trips up and down coast

This was a beautiful apartment in a great location to make day trips up and down the coast. The property is amazing, overlooking an inlet off the bay. The only nit I’d have is the part about having a beach available - at least during early August, that beach is non-existent, covered by beautiful grasses, and the swing of the tides means even if the grass weren’t there, for a good chunk of the day you’re looking over tidal mudflats. Still beautiful, but we brought beach chairs thinking there’d be a beach and there wasn’t.

Serene coastal escape

This was a perfect getaway for us. It is close to Portland, Freeport and plenty of sightseeing. It is also a great place to just relax and unplug. The island is small and charming and the nature preserve was lovely. The apartment is well equipped and the owners were responsive, helpful and friendly.
