There were a couple of minor things which I communicatedwith David. If there was one thing for improvement, I would say that the shower water never got very hot.Also, the fireplace remote did not work and it was somewhat cumbersome turing on and off.

Waterfront Paradise

My husband, myself and our 3 adult children absolutely loved and enjoyed our week’s stay at Covehead. I actually jumped off the dock into the freezing water twice! Morning coffee on our deck watching the lobster boats and evening cocktails by our fire pit we’re our highlights. Beautiful location next to restaurants, walking trails, etc.. Highly recommend this well furnished and beautifully decorated home.

Well-cared for property, lovely view

We spent a happy six days here with no problems; we had asked for, and promptly received, some batteries for the fireplace remote. Well-equipped kitchen, tiny dishwasher so we felt bad about having to do multiple loads, and I would suggest a waste basket in each bedroom. Additionally, I would urge people to be careful with the upstairs bedroom sink since the water comes out pretty strongly and could potentially flood around the raised basin. We were very careful to wipe up any extra water.

Best ME Vacation Rental!

My family and I have rented homes on lakes/ocean in ME over the past several years and this was by the far the best house we’ve stayed at. Clean, modern, beautiful views, spacious. Heating worked perfectly and all kitchen necessities allowed us to easily cook meals. Would absolutely come back again - even in winter/spring!

Sister Trip

We three sisters stayed for a week. It was the perfect location to be back from the midwest and immersed into the Atlantic Ocean culture again from our childhoods. The view is more than spectacular and the dock access to the ocean was more than we had even hoped for. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to all who love nature!

Fabulous, Peaceful retreat on the water!

The house was gorgeous and exactly as advertised. Wonderful sunrises every single morning and peaceful, inspiring views from a gorgeous deck. The owners provided a thoughtful welcome basket on arrival which was very kind! Bathrooms were lovely! We had a fantastic stay. Even stacking the dishwasher was fabulous given the 360 degree water views!
