In 2017, we rented an oceanfront property for two weeks through Maine Cottage Properties, our first…read moreexperience with Maine Cottage Properties although our 20th trip to Maine. The property was lovely, but a house was being built immediately behind Hartwood (the name of the rental). The site was being leveled and the bulldozers began at 7 am, all day long. The noise was so bad we left the house during the day. We spoke to the rental agent, who did not offer an alternative to us, nor any discount on the (very expensive) rent. Clearly the owner and agent would have known this was happening and could have informed us and offered other arrangements. We decided to be good-natured about it, although we were explicitly upset about it and it was clearly not the peaceful Maine vacation we sought. We rented the property again this year, with the caveat that we be informed of any pending construction. This is a pay-in-full ahead of time rental contract, with no refunds, which we knew. However, my husband became ill just before the trip, and his doctor forbade traveling. We asked for some consideration from the rental agency, given our dreadful noise experience last year. We were essentially told "this is business-you should have gotten vacation insurance". Although we and our family loved the property, we would not rent it again, or any other property through this agency. Not a renter-friendly agency at all. So disappointing.

Called directly when I saw their email and they were rude and defensive saying there was no sense of urgency on my part. There was nothing they could do to rectify going against their word. Try another rental agency :)

After dealing with another agency , on the island , that always felt like pulling teeth, what a pleasure to find a professional group.

Thus began a beautiful relationship with Nikki ,always listening to our wants and needs, and doing her best to find suitable options. It was like going from dark to light , with the other agency, and we are not going back to the dark side. We've been very happy with our summer rentals.

During that time, we have gotten all of our rentals through Camden Accommodations and could not be happier with the service we've received. Both in terms of finding places and during our stay, Barbara Heard and her staff have been professional, very responsive, courteous and helpful with every interaction we have had. The properties have always been ready for us on our arrival and the check-in and check-out have always been smooth. Over these past 11 years, we have stayed in 3 different properties, and, in each case, we have found the properties wonderfully maintained and well serviced by Camden Accommodations. Any maintenance issues with the properties or homes have been dealt with promptly and effectively through our contact with Barbara and her staff (even available "after hours" through a "live" contact person). When service people needed to come to the houses, the agency has gone out of its way to ensure that appointments were made to be convenient for us. We'll be returning to mid-coast Maine this coming fall, into a new property. We, again, found a house through Camden Accommodations and Barbara and her staff were most accommodating in helping us locate a house to deal with some more specific needs we have this year. We look forward to a continued wonderful relationship. If you're looking for staying in mid-coast Maine, we highly recommend working through Camden Accommodations for your property. We don't believe you can go wrong!!!

I've come up to the Penobscot Bay, Cape Rosier, and Blue Hill areas for about twenty years and had…read moresome very mixed experiences from several different rental agencies. While some agencies try to be big and flashy, Peninsula Property Rentals keeps it very focused, personal, and customer-oriented. They truly understand that customers are coming for a vacation and make it as easy as possible for them to enjoy it. That being said, I'm rather biased because I've just returned from a wonderful vacation thanks to their help and I can honestly say that this is the nicest business I've ever reviewed on Yelp and the most satisfying customer experience I've ever had. That's a very strong statement which I fully support! To start off, the rental agent from PPR took the time to contact me by telephone. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and downright earnest about finding me the perfect rental house. She took the time to actually hear from me what I wanted to do on my vacation and then helped me pick out a location which would suit that best. I ended up getting a gem of a place with a gorgeous view of Penobscot Bay and Deer Isle, but my experience with PPR didn't end there. I found myself requesting information from them several times and was directed to find some of the best services in the area, found great kayak rentals which delivered to my door, found some of the best local restaurants and things to do so we could plan ahead for our vacation. When all was said and done and I was ready to pack my bags to head up I was extremely satisfied, but yet again it did not end there. I've had situations with other rental agencies where I travel up to Maine on a Friday night, something is horribly wrong with the place and I can't get in touch with the rental agent until Monday morning when they open for business again. Not with Peninsula Property Rentals, I was given the direct number of their owner and operator, Sandy Douvarjo and was told to call any time if there were any problems. Fortunately when I arrived there was nothing wrong at all, everything was in perfect order and we settled in quite nicely. That's not enough to earn a raving review though. On July 4th my brother got called in to work remotely and needed internet access. As the cottage we were staying in had no internet access we attempted to find a coffee shop in nearby Blue Hill with wifi access, but unfortunately due to it being a national holiday no businesses were open. We immediately called Sandy and she actually let my brother (who she had never met) stay in her office and get internet access for the day to telecommute. She and her husband had plans to go to a cookout that day as well, but attended to every single need instead (we were lucky enough to leave early so that they could still go, but they showed their willingness to bend over backwards to please their customers and that's something I haven't seen in years!) and for that I would highly recommend Peninsula Property Rentals to anyone and say you'd be a fool to take a vacation to Maine without using their services. I've only been in the door for twenty minutes and I'm already making plans to book with them again.
