From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave you will be dazzled by the incredible view, manicured gardens, and historic home. We loved every minute of our stay with our friends and family.

My family had a wonderful time staying at the historic Sail Loft. The home is spacious and well equipped, and the location can't be beat. The views of the harbor are wonderful and you can walk to the local library, school playground, the General Store, and restaurants at Luke's and the East Wind Inn. Thanks to Betsy for going above and beyond in helping to get us situated in the house. She was quick in her communication and helped us trouble shoot where to park my parent's enormous camper when we realized it wouldn't fit in the provided parking. We'll be back for sure!

This was very cool, very old home in the sweet little town of Tenants Harbor, Maine. Home was big; big enough for a family of four, two grandparents and two long-time friends. Everyone had their own bed and there were plenty bathrooms to share. Despite its age, everything in the house worked properly every sink, toilet, shower and appliance operated as it should and we used everything…oven fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer and both the heating and cooling system. We cooked a good bit and kitchen was well-stocked. It was early October and weather was generally nice but we had a couple of chilly days where we could used the fire pit. Tenants Harbor has a few small-ish hotels/inns and probably about half-a-dozen restaurants/bakeries/cafes. Good little library and great school playground and the harbor and house yard were good play areas for our two toddlers, Nearby towns of Rockland and Camden are bustling towns with lots of shops, art galleries, antique markets, breweries, wine shops, cafes and pubs which made great day trips. Easy driving not more than 30-35 minutes away. We hit 4-5 museums and a couple were fairly impressive. Great house for a large group and we highly recommend it.

Three couples, who have been friends for 50’ish years and travel together quite a bit, just spent a fabulous week at the Sail Loft. The house is charming. It’s large enough to spread out yet cozy enough to gather. The historic nature of the home adds to its appeal yet it also meets high standards for comfort. The views from the house are incredible, across the harbor and coastal islands out to the Atlantic. The garden is gorgeous and we enjoyed fresh flowers throughout our visit. Tenants Harbor is a small fishing village with a couple of good restaurants and a wonderful general store within easy walking distance of the Sail Loft. We loved watching the lobster boats come and go from the dock by the house. Also, we were very well located for day trips up and down the coast. We were lucky enough to enjoy some boating and found Tenants Harbor easily accessible for exploring the area by water as well. Our group has traveled a good bit over the years and we all agree on our love of this trip and the Sail Loft.

This home has a wonderful eclectic and rustic charm. There was plenty of room for the eight of us and the views from the dining/living room areas, deck, and master bedroom of Tenants Harbor were stunning and completely unblocked by any structures. There is a charming “secret garden” across the lane from the house that all of us enjoyed. There was a problem with the water heater producing cold showers but calling the owner, Betsy, resolved the malfunctioning heating element the same day. The owner is delightful to converse with and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. The property is in a great location. This is the fourth house we’ve rented, over the years, for a family summer holiday in Maine and it is the best, by far. There’s a full grocery store just a very short walk away, an amazing bakery (it’s closed Sundays and Mondays) with delicious waist-challenging pastries, pies, and breads. Between the grocery store and bakery is the Happy Clam, a rustic seafood restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The seafood we had there was absolutely fresh and delicious. There is also within walking distance, an art gallery and another restaurant (we didn’t have time to try it). Also a very short drive away is Port Clyde and the ferry to Mohegan Island. Accessing the main roads out is super easy…all paved no dirt roads (something lacking in previous homes we’d rented in past years). I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Our family gathering at the Sail Loft was very special for us. The house and property were lovely with carefully tended beautiful gardens,. There were a variety of areas for activity whether it was on the large deck with nice furniture and glorious views of the harbor. There are two large gatherings areas, one on each floor that allowed us to spread out and have multiple activities going on at the same time. The commanding views of the water bring the outside into this house. The owner has installed beautiful art which contributes to the calm and beauty in the house. The baseball diamond behind the house provided a safe and level place to play a variety of games. We could walk to the general store and Port Clyde and Thomaston were close by for other supplies. We easily found nearby beaches for beach fun and nearby lighthouses and parks were easily accessible. There is a rowboat and two kayaks for water fun and strolling the grounds and road was lovely. We certainly hope that we can return to relax, play and share family time at the Sail Loft. A perfect place for a family gathering!

My family had a great stay in this home. The location is incredible and we enjoyed watching the lobster boats go out of the harbor each morning and the beautiful sunrises. The house was full of character, extremely clean, and very spacious.

This home has fabulous views and the town of Tenants Harbor is a gem. My husband enjoyed buying lobster daily from the General Store. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is tons of space if you're gathering with a large family. Internet is very reliable. We had a very good experience with the host, Betsy and the caretaker, Astrid. We really preferred the proximity to Rockport and Camden. Booth Bay was far more touristy. Be sure to grab ice cream and pastries from Village Bakery in Port Clyde. We also bought their frozen pies and cinnamon rolls at the General Store.

We could not have found a more perfect spot for our extended family getaway. The house overlooks the harbor, but it was still quiet enough for folks who wanted to sleep in. The main living rooms (living room, dining room and kitchen) are on the second floor with lots of windows so the views out over the water are spectacular. The house is spacious with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable and accommodated, a huge dining room table provided ample room to gather everyone for meals or playing cards and board games, the kitchen was stocked with every imaginable cooking utensil. Walking distance to the general store when we picked up groceries. And also to the East Wind Inn where we could visit with friends staying there and drop in on the hotel's scrumptious breakfast. It really was perfect.

You know you have been someplace special when the morning you check out, you have a pit in your stomach and a lump in your throat. That is how it was for us leaving Sail Loft after two amazing weeks there. Sail Loft has character, beauty, charm and I think even a bit of magic. The location could not be better - we even loved being awakened by those hardworking lobstermen. It allowed us to witness stunning sunrises. The natural beauty of the area, sparkling water, and sea breezes really helped heal our souls after a rough few months of confinement. We found great hiking in the area and explored nearby towns. We bought lobster right off the docks in the harbor and cooked them at home. Sail Loft provided a feeling of contentment that not every place offers. It was indeed very special and provided wonderful memories for me and my family.

We loved every minute of our stay in the Sail Loft. The house is so perfect and the garden leads to the water which the whole group enjoyed especially the kids. Tenants Harbour is a wonderful sleepy town, we can’t wait to return. Bestsy was so helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you so much !!!!! I highly recommend this home !!!!!

Wow. We yearn to return! This property’s situation with view, character, access to water, garden and interior spaciousness coalesce perfectly for an idyllic stay on the St George peninsula, from where - rain and shine - we roamed and visited, via roads and water, many towns, ports, lobster shacks and local ships. Our host was easy to communicate with as well was our housekeeper. Thank you, owners, for the vision of stewarding this place well by sharing it with others.

The Sail Loft is a beautiful and very comfortable house. The highlights for us were the high deck with fantastic views of the harbor and the sunrises, the lovely flower and herb gardens and having use of a kayak. We could not have chosen a better place to have a reunion with old friends.

10/10

Our stay in this historic home with beautiful gardens and fabulous views was delightful. While the home has been updated, it felt very tied to the past...lots of antique furnishings and artwork. The views overlooking the bay with lobster boats and out to the ocean was magical. The garden area along the waterfront was vibrant with color and interesting flowers and trees. Its an easy walk to the general store and bakery, but the nearby town of Port Clyde had a more vibrant town center. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes , cookware and appliances. We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

Great environment and quick service with any problems such as clogged toilet and quizzical hot water system. Of our many VRBOs in NE and in France, this one is our all time favorite.
