Holiday rentals with a kayak in Casco

We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful and quiet time of rest at The Rising Tides. The setting is absolutely serene. It’s very secluded and quiet, the perfect place for a week of rest and relaxation. We went hiking on the Cliff Trail (15 minutes away and a very nice hiking trail), watched the sunrise at the Lands End store on Bailey island (15-20 minutes), and kayaked in the cove. The grill was very nice and we enjoyed cooking on it regularly. The place was very clean and ready on our arrival. The host communicated very clearly. You will need to follow her driving directions as they are very clear and helpful. In our four days there we only saw 1 neighbor - and that was as we were leaving on the weekend. There’s a grocery store only 15 minutes away and we were able to stock up on our way there. Really, this was one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed. We really enjoyed having a few options of things to do while also being able to just do nothing on our vacation in a quiet place.

Violeta and her space were amazing. The house was exactly as advertised and we felt right at home for our long weekend. We are looking forward to making this a yearly visit!

We had a great week at the cabin! The view is amazing and it was so relaxing. Courtney was very responsive and attentive. Highly recommend for a cozy getaway in a beautiful setting.

One of the best Airbnb experiences! The location and surroundings were absolutely beautiful, and the house was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We had the chance to fish and kayak, which were the highlights - so peaceful and scenic. This was a truly unforgettable experience. We caught a couple of bass and pike, which was so much fun. The host was also very responsive and kind. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this place.

We booked Trickey Moose to spend quality time with our two Maine teen grandchildren while they were on spring break. The place was perfect for our needs. The home is quite spacious yet offered each of us an element of privacy. We found the home in immaculate condition and stocked with every essential needed. The “community pantry” was a pleasant surprise and was stocked with the few incidental items we hadn’t brought along. The ping pong and air hockey tables created a friendly competition between the grandkids and grandparents. Great memories were made…. only wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our stay (late May, 2025). The weather did not cooperate but the house was perfect. Thank you Debbi!

Our stay at this beautiful lake house was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spaciousness of the home, which comfortably accommodated our entire group of six adults. The game room / bunk house was an absolute blast and provided entertainment for everyone on an overcast day. The large screen TV was great for watching the Stanley Cup finals. We also made excellent use of the kayaks and paddleboards provided, spending time out on the serene lake. Evenings were magical with the beautiful exterior lighting on the dock and throughout the landscape, creating a truly inviting and picturesque ambiance. And of course, the fire pit was put to great use, perfect for making s'mores. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to easily cook large dinners every night, including a birthday cake. Can't wait until we can book again.

This place has the best of what Maine offers. A ocean view with a pebbled beach on the front side with plenty of rocks and sea glass hunting and a quiet cove on the back that you can explore with the two supplied kayaks. The location is very inviting and the neighbors were friendly and gave us some great insight into the local area. There is plenty to do within an hour of the house from shopping, exploring other beaches or getting a taste of the local cuisine. If you like oysters we would recommend OystHERS in Bath. Our favorite beach was Popham where you can watch the harbor seals play at the mouth of the river. Overall this was a great family getaway and one that made lasting memories.

This home at a lake was exactly as described, adorable, and the perfect relaxing getaway. You can't be more "on the water" without getting wet! Looking out over the lake in the morning with a cup of coffee, listening to the loons...awesome! Great location too as there are some great spots to eat nearby, simple drive to Portsmouth in one direction and Concord in the other. Our host was super informative and responsive, and the home was immaculate when we arrived. 10/10 would stay here again and would recommend!

Lori was a wonderful host for our trip up to Maine. My girlfriend and I enjoyed doing yoga in the entrance room when it rained and a nice sunrise kayak trip out on the lake across the street. My in-laws stayed with us too and we all had great laughs together and enjoyed good food all weekend long.

We went for our baby moon. The location… ambience… all of it, created a relaxing and nice way to get away from the kiddos and celebrate adding an our third! We’ll come back with the kiddos next time though because the pond, paddleboards, and kayaks are more than worth it!

Loved our time here! It’s about a 40 minute drive from Portland and then 5-10 from Brunswick. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect, exactly what we needed to relax! We loved coming back from Portland and grabbing dinner and gelato in Brunswick, such a nice way to unwind from a long day. Highly recommend and would love to stay here again :)

This spot was just perfect. Seemed like a brand new lake house with modern decor. It was perfectly clean and cozy, with an open floor plan that made it feel big and bright. All the appliances were easy to use. Having the opportunity for outdoor and water activities was great. It made our packing much easier as we could take advantage of the kayaks, canoe, grill, and outdoor corn hole game provided on site. The fish were really biting, both from the dock and out on the boat - we caught 11! The fire pit made for a relaxing night, and the shower had excellent temperature control and pressure. The location was close to groceries, ice cream stands, and a very cool car museum. We didn’t want to leave!

What a beautiful location! David is a great host. He made sure we had good directions, tips for the area, and was quick to answer any questions. The lakeside cabin has absolutely everything you need to have a peaceful, relaxing vacation. The view of the lake is spectacular. The cabin is very clean, has a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and Echo lake is a gorgeous pristine lake. Every morning, we enjoyed our coffee on the dock. We swam, kayaked, canoed and even tried out the paddle boards that came with the house. We would love to come back! Thanks!

Janet’s place in Standish was great and we could not have asked for a better host. Apart from the home itself, Janet was very friendly and responsive. She even proactively offered early check in / late check out, extremely unexpected and appreciated! Would absolutely recommend this BNB 10 times out of 10.

The cottage was so wonderful! The pictures did not do it justice, we appreciated the welcome bouquet made from her farms flowers! The grounds were so beautiful and peaceful. We wanted a relaxing getaway and that’s exactly what we got. The bed was so comfortable and we enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and bird watching! The location was far enough way for the privacy but a close drive to Portland and other must see locations. Jessica was responsive and communicative with any concerns. We cannot wait to come back and visit every season and cannot recommend the cottage enough!

We had the absolute best time at MJ’s place, highly recommend !! The house is spatious yet very cozy and quiet, with a nice back porch to sit and enjoy the surrounding woods! Home is also very close to town and to Poryland/coastline, and the cleanest lake to swim in that we’ve ever been to! MJ was very helpful and quick to respond. Stay here! We hope to return sometime soon!!

This was my second time staying at Terrill’s place and it was just as lovely as I remembered! It’s such a peaceful place, surrounded by natural beauty, to relax and unwind. I’ll definitely be back again!

We had a wonderful stay at Ricky’s cabin on Bear Pond! It was peaceful, with beautiful views of the water, and we loved having campfires in the evenings. The cabin was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway in the Maine woods! Ricky was a great host—friendly, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. We would highly recommend staying here!

Does the cabin look perfect in the photo? It's better. Does the yard look like the perfect place to forget the rest of the world exists? It is. Are the White Mountains a place that make you feel like the psychological mountains in your life are just a little smaller? They are. We don't have enough good things to say about the Cabin or communicating with Cassouki. It's rare to step into a space that feels like it was designed with intention on every level - from the scents in the air to the textures of the cabin to the quiet confidence in every object's placement. The Conscious Cabin doesn't just reflect a designers eye, it reflects a storyteller's heart. I've stayed in more than a few retreats, but this is the first one that felt like it had something to say--and somehow said it quietly enough to let us hear ourselves again. Stay here.

Stayed here for the second time with our family of five, including two toddlers and a baby. The house/property is the perfect setup for us! Everything is safe for kids and on one floor. There are things like pack-and-plays, kid dinnerware, kid toys/books, and sand toys provided. The sandy beach is close enough that our monitor reached from the baby’s room during nap time. Our oldest calls it “the little house” and has been talking about it since the last time we stayed here a year ago. It is the perfect little getaway! 🙂

Had an amazing stay here, so wondering could go fishing at the dock, the basement was so fun to play pong and just hang out, loved being able to watch disney+, just overall a wonderful stay and amazing and friendly people.

This was the perfect location for my husband and in laws. It was so peaceful. Thank you for a beautiful place to vacation.

A truly peaceful retreat! The place was spotless, cozy, and surrounded by nature. We felt completely relaxed from the moment we arrived. Perfect for a quiet getaway—highly recommend! Lise was very responsive and friendly. We will definitely be back!!
