The Gull's Rest cottage was clean, organized, and just as pictured and described. The view of the bay was perfect. Such a treat to drink coffee on the porch in the morning. It was unusually hot and humid the week we were there so we were very grateful for the fans upstairs and down. The cottage is wonderfully decorated with soothing colors and many appealing reminders of the seaside locale. The wrap-around porch is an amazing treat with several areas for BBQ, table space, birdwatching, reading -- marvelous spaces for any of the above. We played games, ate outside, read in comfy chairs and generally enjoyed the amazing views. It would have been wonderful to have had the beds made up when we arrived, as our arrival was approx. 11pm after lengthy drives. (Thank you, Marcie, for answering the very late, slightly panicky phone call! And for your warm greeting at such an hour.). We highly recommend this cottage for families or individuals looking for a convenient, welcoming Maine retreat.
