Waterfront holiday rentals in Calais

I needed lodging in the off-season, half for medical reasons and half just to relax. I chose this place because it was available, reasonably priced, and close to Machias. The lodging that had rooms available were far out of my price range. I wasn’t sure that I’d get what was advertised, but I had no other choice. Well! I was blown away! I fell in love with this place in winter. It must be even more spectacular in the summer! My room, as advertised, had everything I needed. The bed was pillowy comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed. I took daily walks to the ocean to recharge. I met two of the staff who were so friendly that I felt like I was family. I didn’t have a dog with me, but other guests did and I LOVE when a place accepts pets, especially large dogs. I never understood why a place will accept small to medium sized dogs and not large ones. Large dogs are usually the most laid back. I recommend this place just on that fact alone. Peaceful. Serene. Beautiful.

A beautiful, peaceful stay in Lubec! We hope to come back someday and rent the large main cabin as well. It is a great location to relax by the beach and explore Campobello Island. The pictures were accurate but just an FYI for anyone who has a someone who snores or has kids in the family- the two bedrooms are only separated by an open doorway and a curtain - you can hear everything from the other room. 😆

Hilary’s lake Retreat is the perfect place ! We have stayed here three summers in a row and love it . Tom and Patty are excellent hosts and we can’t say enough good about it !

Melissa was a wonderful host. Her place is clean and well stocked with useful and thoughtful items. Melissa was very helpful with local recommendations and reached out to help us troubleshoot dinner options when the power in town went out. Would definitely stay here again. Five stars all around!

This place was absolutely amazing. It was cozy and felt just like home. The hosts accomadeted us and provided us everything we needed for our stay on Grand Manan. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Joann's, place is one of the best places on the island, clean, quiet and peaceful, we'll put together she put a lot thought in Making you feel comfortable. Lots of instructions and go beyond leaving little things in the unit given that there's not a lot ooptions on the island...LOVE THE SPOT.

Excellent stay! We were visiting family in the area and Laura's place was perfect. Lovely setting right on the water. The apartment is clean and fresh, The design is warm but minimalist and quite spacious. It was easy to prep our breakfasts in the mornings and we found some amazing hiking trails about 6 minutes away. Highly recommend!

Lovely place, even in the fog. Nicely appointed.

It was our second time staying at this house. We absolutely love it!!! We would stay again.

What a beautiful place to stay! Denise welcomed us, and took us on a tour of the house. Her house is equipped with everything you need, it was awesome. the home was clean and very comfortable. The nature cant be beat! The sky at night is of course incredible, as is the beach right across the road. Beautiful stones, a rockhound would have a ball. I cannot wait to go back!

This home is just lovely. The town is very small and you need to drive 10-15 miles to the nearest "large" town to get groceries of any consequence. That being said, get what you need ahead of time and just enjoy the GORGEOUS surroundings. A marvelous place to decompress. There is no TV and no radio reception which we loved. We were able to buy lobster right off a boat and everything you need to cook and eat them is provided. I very much like that the shower has what you need in neat push button bottles mounted on the wall. There were plenty of towels and extra blankets if needed. Can't say enough about the spectacular views. Watching the lobster/fishing boats go in and out and hearing the rumble of the engines was great. The home is close enough that you could use it for your base to visit Acadia Nat Park. Don't miss going to Winter Harbor. Small but some good art, good coffee shop, and a super general store. You can also catch a ferry over to Bar Harbor from there.

I still can’t get over the amazing view (especially with the foliage in October). Convenient to St Andrew’s and just an overall perfect house for a relaxing get away weekend. Our 3 and 6 year olds loved exploring the beach and the toys and puzzles and we loved drinking coffee watching the sunrise. Highly recommend!

Susan is so incredibly helpful and accomodating! She answered all of our questions and gave us lots of very useful information to assure we made the most of our trip to Maine! The house was spotless and the location was breathtaking! 10/10!

We loved our stay at the House of Dreams; it was cozy and comfortable, with a gorgeous view of the cove. Jason and Aimee left us some thoughtful treats, and the home was beautifully decorated. It was fun perusing the library including great info on the local flora and fauna. The beach was only a few steps away and it was so restful to hear the ocean and hunt for treasures on the beach. We would definitely love to return!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Sitting on the deck off the back looking at the beautiful setting was very peaceful and tranquil.

Beautiful location, beautiful turn of the century home, exactly (if not better, than advertised). Grounds are massive, directly on the ocean. House is charming with tons of space and anything you might need is available. We asked about a bbq and there was one waiting for us upon arrival. Stephanie left us a collection of local food and drink, very thoughtful. The house was full of thoughtful touches, bedding was high quality and we wanted for nothing. We would stay here again, thank you for the wonderful experience.
