Summary: Great view and plenty of seats to enjoy

Summary: This was my third time staying here, and it's always a wonderful vacation. The house has lots of space and just about anything you could want is provided, from cooking implements to games. It's relaxing going down to the dock and watching the tides or loons diving for fish - we even saw a bald eagle! Walking down to the lobster co-op for a lobster dinner is always a fun experience. I'd highly recommend a stay on Westport Island!

Summary: We have been successfully finding nice homes on VRBO for many years for vacations, this property is hands down above and beyond anything we have stayed at before. Great communication with the owner, Sam was quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy everything this property has to offer!! Thank you Sam for making our trip so spectacular!

Summary: My group of retired ladies certainly enjoyed our stay at this charming New England cottage. It was one of the most well-stocked locations we've stayed with ample paper goods supplied, even shampoo in the showers. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable. We found the location central to activities we'd planned. We liked that it was right on the river that had a high and low tide. We'd definitely recommend this house and host.

Summary: This was a great house for a sizeable group with 6 adults! There was plenty of space to spread out and relax and the water views are incredible. We were even able to watch lobster boats come right close to the dock! There are some neat nature preserves on the island and it was easy to get into town. It's a little bit further to swimming, etc., because the bridge onto the island is currently only one lane, but our family had a wonderful time and would definitely go again!

Summary: Six adults, two children, and we all had a great time. The house is well equipped and conveniently located for exploring. The kids loved the dock and the fire pit, as did the adults. Thanks for the memories!

Summary: Perfect location to relax, but also close by to many cities to visit. Enjoyed the fire pit and watching the sunsets over the water. Short drives to Bath, Rockland, Boothbay Harbor so very convenient location to lots of places along the coast.

Summary: We had an excellent stay at this Westport Island location. Quiet street that was very easy to get to. All bedrooms were perfect for the 6 guests and one dog. It was fully stocked with many amenities and the back yard and dock was perfect for hanging out at the house and easy access to the water for kayaking and paddle boarding; there were also many near by walking trails with excellent views. We loved exploring the towns of Wiscasset & Bath. Sam was very friendly and easy to contact with any questions. My only gripe was some of the cleanliness of parts of the house. The First Mates bedroom seemed not to have been cleaned very well. There was a large amount of assuming dog hair on the floor and inside the sheets. There was also an old chewed up dog toy under the bed that our own dog found. There was trash left in the pantry area by the back door and the refrigerator and freezer had a large amount of food left in it from other guests, we did have to move aside and clean both to allow our food for a week to fit. However the bathrooms were in great condition and we felt comfortable using the amenities in the kitchen. All in all the critique I have did not majorly affect our stay and we would definitely visit again. This property made us all truly fall in love with this quaint and peaceful island.

Summary: We really liked the house and the fact that each bedroom had its own bath. The ceiling fans were important as it was HOT (so unlike the Maine we know). The kitchen was small but well-equipped and the outside dining was great as was the BBQ grill and the fire pit. The dock was great for our boat but if you are a boater, know that to get to the ocean, Boothbay, Bath etc. is a long process as the property is very close to Wiscasset and requires a long trip down the Sheepscot before you get to those places. The Back River, where the dock is located, is difficult to navigate due to the strong currents. We have a 24 foot boat and it was tossed around a bit as the tide comes in and out. That being said, all else was great and if you are not boating, the house is in a great location, close to Rte 1, shopping etc.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay on Westport island. Very peaceful area and well located to great Maine locations. The house was cozy and very clean. All the things you need for a great stay. We enjoyed eating on the large deck every evening. Beautiful large yard with a wonderful fire pit.
