Nouvelle inscription: Maison spacieuse et récemment rénovée avec cuisine de chef sur l'océan

This property is exceptional. We had thanksgiving at the property and the kitchen was unbelievable!! Everything you could ever need. Location is a bit off of route 1 but we have stayed in this area before. Don’t miss local fare at the Black Harpoon!! Views out the front of the home are quintessential Maine with lots of windows. Beds were great! Couldn’t say enough about this property. My guests loved it!!

Great location, terrific views and first class amenities. Se you next summer!

The house was everything the listing promised and more. The location was a quiet road that was a 5 min walk to town and a short bike ride to the lighthouse or beach. The views from every window were breathtaking. All the rooms were beautifully appointed with very comfortable--but also unique and style-appropriate "antique" type choices. Rest was guaranteed in beds that were highest quality from the expensive mattresses to the wonderful LL Bean linens.

The bathrooms were clean and modern and had every bit of space needed for our large family, with new fixtures including super cool and fun LED color-changing shower heads that made every shower also a fun experience!

The kitchen was absolutely amazing. There were plates and utensils for every kind of food/meal and with 2 stove tops, a huge oven, a large convection microwave an ice maker, a wine cooler, a massive Viking fridge, and so many comfortable seats for everyone that we could make meals all day long and never get in each other's way!

Overall, just a terrific stay including easy communication & management who made sure all was perfect from start to finish.

this was our second year renting from Linda Bean, and it was great. For city-folk, Port Clyde is a much needed rest for our annual family get-together, and Bean's services and rentals only compliment the beauty of Port Clyde. This year we needed a larger space to accommodate the entire family and "Cook's Cove" was the choice. The rental properties provide you with anything and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen was to die for. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the ocean and the daily routine of the lobster boats. We had a beautiful yard for the kids to enjoy and spent plenty of time trying to find the bald eagle that would pass through. Properties are impeccably maintained which I appreciate. I've come to trust "Linda Bean's Rentals" and she is my go to vacation manager ! Our vacation flew by - can't wait for next year !

When I reserved this house, I did not realize that "Linda Bean's Perfect Maine Vacation Rentals" had any connection with the LL Bean Company. It was only after arriving at the house and seeing all the LL Bean furnishings (as well as the LL Bean editions of Scrabble, Monopoly and chess) did my family and I figure out that Linda Bean was part owner of LL Bean Inc. The house is lovely. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed. The kitchen is a joy to cook in. The appliances are top notch. The lobster tank was very handy, but be aware that lobsters are nocturnal creatures. My college-aged daughter awoke in the middle of the night and upon hearing odd noises downstairs thought that someone had broken into the house. It turns out that the noises were coming from the lobsters quietly banging around in the tank. We had minor issues with a leaky toilet which wasn't bothersome, but the manager was notified, and hopefully this issue has been fixed. We wanted to use the sauna, but the timer button was broken.

The Monhegan Boat Line and the Port Clyde General Store are only a 7 to 10 minute walk from the house. We went on the Puffin/Nature cruise (early August 2018). The cruise was fun in that the first part of the cruise included hauling up 4-5 lobster traps to show us how lobsters are caught. We were able to see harbor seals, porpoises, osprey and eagles, but only 1 or 2 puffins. I am told that puffins are more plentiful in July. If you go on this cruise, I would recommend bringing binoculars.

I would highly recommend making the 2 1/2 hour drive up to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The Park was crowded in some areas, but after a short hike from Sand Beach, my family and I easily found a more secluded and incredibly scenic part of the Park on the shoreline. Also, my family and I couldn't help but make the 1 1/2 drive to Freeport to shop at LL Bean flagship store. In addition to LL Bean, there are a number of other outlet stores.

Overall, my family and I enjoyed staying in this house and would recommend it.
