This was a wonderful place to stay. It was central to everything we were looking to do, and the view of the harbor was spectacular. It would have been even better if we had been able to see the sunrises and sunsets (it was overcast most of the time).
The cottage is well-equipped and kept. It is, however, an older property and has limitations. The bathroom is quite small, and the shower would be very difficult for a larger person. I am 5'9" and about 200 pounds. It was tight, but manageable for me.
The owner lives next door and is responsive, so don't hesitate to contact.
We loved our getaway, and recommend Heron Cottage. By the way, the Lobster Pound less than a mile away is awesome! Bring cash.

This is a wonderful spot for a couple's getaway. Everything was nice pillows, linens, furniture, grill, but most importantly the view. The shower is very small if you're a big person you might not fit. Everything else is fantastic and well worth it! Right around the corner is Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster, great food within walking distance. Shopping in Freeport is amazing. Everyone is very friendly in the area. I highly recommend this location.

Bathroom very small big enough for one person shower is so small that I am 6' 230 pounds and could barely fit into fit into it. If you move you hit the temperature valve. Needs to have a smoke detector in the bedroom. Bottom boy's functionable and plenty of hot water.
