Quiet and good for star gazing

We were looking for a secluded site mid-coast and found it. Albeit, please note that the steps to the doors are steep, and somewhat difficult for older people. We enjoyed the wild turkeys next door and being able to star gaze and see shooting stars.

Beautiful glassed in living space!

This cortage was exactly as described! Although the entire place was great, the favorite was the living space that had a wood burning stove and two big upholstered chairs facing a tv. Otherside was a corner L shaped sofa and ottoman... windows on all three sides! Gorgeous!

Sea of Grass review

The house was extremely clean and perfect for three people and two dogs. It had everything we needed. The yard was extra huge which our yellow lab loved.

A pleasant surprise.

The house on the outside may not look impressive, but the inside is perfect. Well appointed, and impeccably clean. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the beautiful field.

Cute and Comfy

We came up to visit family in the area. The cottage is placed perfectly between my parents in Thomaston and my aunt in the southern part of Friendship. The location also offers easy access to plenty of coastal attractions and towns. It has everything we needed, and we loved the fresh new interior, especially the great room, with its comfy seating and sweeping views of fields and forest. We will definitely come back.

Great getaway

The property was absolutely beautiful! We were in town for a wedding and we’re able to spend the day just relaxing at the house enjoying the yard and the views around the neighborhood. Geoffrey gave us great recommendations for food to eat in the surrounding towns. All around great experience. Thank you!

Sea of Grass - 5 STARS!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Sea of Grass" in the aptly named town of "Friendship, Maine in mid-September, 2023. We appreciated the extra hospitality shown to us by the owner, Geoff, because we were there when Hurricane Lee hit Maine. Thankfully, the storm wasn't too bad in that area, and we only lost power for 3 hours. But, it was so kind of Geoff to bring over large filled water jugs, a Coleman lantern, and even some tomatoes from his garden! It was also comforting to know that if we needed anything, we could call him and he would be right over. The cottage was adorable, and perfectly pet friendly for our 2 dogs. Such a large yard for our pups to run around in. Definitely one of our favorite vacation rentals ever! Thank you so much!!! We will be back some time in the future.

Perfect for a family visit

Geoff met us at check-in and showed us around. The place is great! Super clean, well stocked, and located on a large peaceful property. Perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids (or my wife and me, and our mothers, in our case). The yard is large and there’s a swing set, which is a nice touch. Kitchen is well stocked which made it easy to enjoy all of our breakfasts and two dinners at home. Bright space. Back deck with chairs. Nearby there’s a local market (Wallace’s) that has good takeout, and a brewery (Odd Alewives) that serves excellent pizzas not too far away. Easy drive to Rockland via back roads. Overall great stay and we hope to return.

A wonderful respite

We stayed at the cottage while in the area for a Celebration of Life for a friend who had passed. It was a wonderful, calm, open place with everything we needed, and nothing we didn't. The beautiful, expansive lawn in the back felt "all ours". We'd definitely come back.

Summer in paradise

My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to spend a month in this wonderful cottage. We were there from July 15 to August 12. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. It even had a garden and we were given free rein to pick anything we wanted. I had the most wonderful squash and salads the whole time. Another bonus to the cottage was the very large shower and the bed was very comfortable. I haven’t slept that good in a long time, with the cool nights and many nights it would be raining. Those are perfect sleeping conditions. It was heaven! The owners live close by and were available if we needed anything and were very helpful with suggestions on places to go and things to do in the area. The town of Friendship was centrally located to some of the popular tourist towns but it didn’t have all the trappings of a tourist town. We would love to return one day.

Great Place

Great place to stay for our anniversary vacation. Not too far from bigger towns. Unfortunately there was no air conditioning and it was very warm inside a couple of days, but cooled down at night. Great place for the dogs as well. Geoff was great with communicating and answering any questions we had.

Wonderful spot!

The cottage was spotless and just as described! A quiet location, not very touristy which is a plus for us, but close enough for day trips around the area. We loved having Jameson Point Lobster and Wallace’s nearby for amazing food. Geoff was a wonderful host! We had an issue with the heat and he handled it right away and made sure we were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Private and modern Maine retreat

My husband and I enjoyed a quick winter stay at Sea of Grass cottage and it was the perfect retreat. Our golden retriever loved the expansive yard, and sitting in the main room with the wood stove and snow falling down was like being in a snow globe. Magical. Geoff was a great host, very welcoming and communicative. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay! What a special cottage and such a warm welcome from Geoff.

We had a wonderful stay, and enjoyed getting to explore Friendship, ME and surrounding areas from this special cottage. Geoff was super helpful and gave us a go to list of places to check out which was so nice. We really didn’t want to go back home after being there a few days, and look forward to returning! Super clean and everything you need to feel at home. And our little dog loved it too…she had a fun time running in the nice open yard, and watching the morning geese. Thanks Geoff!

Friendship location was perfect

The home and property provided a nice, quiet getaway for the two of us and our dog. We were able take day trips to Camden, Rockport, Damariscotta, along with hanging out in Friendship. We ate many times at Jameson Point Lobster Company nearby. They have the best lobster and Blueberry pie we have ever eaten!

Great Cottage, Great Hosts!

We couldn’t’ have asked for better hosts in Geoff and Chrissy. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived to checking out. The cottage is nicely updated, all amenities provided and centrally located to many parks, nearby towns, etc. we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it!
