PERIWINKLE COTTAGE in Brooklin, Maine

Pretty much every room has a direct view of the ocean. The place is very charming and right on the water. I could even hear the waves one evening with my windows open. The beach is a great place to walk. The kitchen had everything I needed. The cottage was clean and well taken care of. The setting and views are amazing. The owner was very nice and I'm glad I got to meet her. I hope to stay again in the future.

The place is very charming and right on the water...

This cottage is just right for us...it is private, with water and beach access, very comfortable with everything we need. We spent many hours on the screened in porch with our binoculars. It is in a good location to explore, but we are very happy staying put too! The owner is lovely and helpful!

Best place on the coast...

Our family has been coming to this area of Maine for several summers and this is our favorite place we’ve stayed so far - spacious, airy and full of light, open to breezes from the water, with a wonderful screened porch and easy access to the bay for cold but delightful swims. This feels like a cottage that has been well-loved, and we enjoyed reading about its history in the notes the owner provided. We also enjoyed meeting the owner, who greeted us warmly and made our family feel welcome. We look forward to returning.

We already booked a return stay for next summer...

This is a truly beautiful spot with amazing views of the water and shore access. The owners are very nice and accommodating. The house is somewhat rustic but is very clean and has everything you will need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. We had a power outage while we were there and found out there is a backup generator-much appreciated! Note that there is a grassy slope to walk down to the house that might be a problem for someone with access issues.

Enjoyed our stay!

Periwinkle is a charming cottage, in a beautiful setting. Greatly enjoyed the screened porch. We hope to return!
