Laura’s loft is a fabulous place to stay. I went for a late winter getaway, and the loft was clean and bright and warm, with the world’s best bathtub. It’s right in the middle of town, close to everything. Great walks, great views, and very peaceful and quiet at the end of the day.

Exceeded Expectations
We were delighted with Crow's Nest on the working waterfront of Eastport. We used it as a base to venture out hiking the Bold Coast, and exploring Campobello, St. Andrews, Calais and more. Perhaps one of the greatest aspects was being able to watch the fishing boat activity each morning and evening in the basin.
After venturing out during the day, it was very special to come back and explore fantastic wines in The Phoenix wine shop and enjoy light bites all within the same building. Quiche, cheeses, olives, etc. Yum!
I strongly recommend the Crow's Nest on Eastport's working waterfront as a special place to get away. It was impeccably clean and comfortable, appointed with everything we needed.
We hope to come back soon!

Super cool lofty spot with amazing views
Laura’s place is beautiful. As a construction/renovation person, I appreciated the great mix of old and new in addition to the plethora of amenities offered. It’s by far the best you’ll find in Eastport-clean, spacious, bright, right in the downtown mix and has wonderful views of the water across to Canada. Also, the hot water is actually hot so baths are nice and the bed is very soft. Being above her wine bar doesn’t hurt (which is also lovely). As others have mentioned, there are a lot of stairs and they are quite steep, so if that’s an issue for you, walk slowly…it’s still worth the trip up there. The only helpful tip I can provide is that there are no blinds or curtains on any of the amazing windows, so if you need dark to sleep (like me), make sure to bring an eye pillow and you’ll be just fine. That whole waking up to the sunrise thing is lost on me. If I ever returned to Eastport, I’d make sure to do it at a time when this place is available because after staying here, I can only imagine how disappointing any other accommodation would be.

Relaxing week at the Crow's Nest
We had the most relaxing time staying in the Crow's Nest, perched above historic Eastport. The view doesn't get any better! The apartment is great -- love the open format and large, equipped kitchen. Although we miss Bocephus and Quoddy Bay Lobster, mainstays like the Happy Crab, along with the Phoenix were excellent. Recommend checking out karaoke at the new Cannery restaurant and bar on a Friday night. Can't wait to come back again!

Spectacular views from Crow's Nest loft
This rental is a real find. The views are great at anytime of day or night, the loft is very clean and well appointed in a sophisticated style. It is mostly a single large space that feels luxurious. Wonderful deck. Nice kitchen with quality cookware and appliances. Location is excellent, in the heart of Eastport. Lots to see and do within easy walking distance. Fun to watch the operations of the harbor from the deck.
It is a third floor walk-up so be prepared to bring your luggage up some steep stairs. Not air conditioned but we really enjoyed the cool breeze off the water. We were never uncomfortable during our mid-summer stay.
Laura is a great host, easy to communicate with and very helpful. Her wine bar downstairs is great! Check-in was very easy.
Eastport is a delightful town and we'll look forward to returning to Crow's Nest.

Crow's Nest was great!
The Crow’s Nest apt is in a perfect location in downtown Eastport with a beautiful view over the water and over to Campobello Island. Laura is a gracious host who will inform you about all the wines she has available downstairs at Phoenix Fines Wines, where we also had a glass of the best wine and wonderful cheese board for a light snack and terrific view from a gorgeous sitting room.

Rest & Recharge
The Crow's Nest was just what I needed! I had to work remotely during my stay but it was hardly work as I enjoyed the views. I slept so well and felt like I was at home but without the daily pressures! Located in the heart of down town it's easy to pop out to grab a bite to eat or a drink. To shop or visit galleries. I highly recommend the Crow's Nest!

Getaway Just Before Memorial Day
We stayed five nights at the Crow's Nest just before Memorial Day Weekend. What a great time to visit Eastport. And a wonderful place to stay when you do!
Thoughtfully renovated, Crow's Nest is perfect for a couple's stay. Downtown location with a view of the lobster boats in the breakwater, the Bay of Funday and Campobello Island. What more could you ask?
Convenient road trips to Lubec, Calais, Canada and the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge. So much to see.
And the people of Eastport could not be more welcoming and friendly. We'll be back!

A little slice of paradise
We cannot say enough about our stay at the Crow's Nest. Laura is a treasure - communicative, knowledgable and so fun to share a conversation with. The apartment is spacious, cozy, and has everything you need for a perfect stay - thank you for the warm blankets for our cool nights on the deck! Eastport is equally a treasure - warm and welcoming folks, many of whom we met at a super fun trivia night in the wine bar hosted by Laura. We highly recommend a visit to the Crow's Nest if what you want is simple luxury and spectacular scenery. Cheers!

Amazing apartment
This property is beyond great - spacious, stylish, well appointed, very clean, and the view is killer! It is exactly as pictured, but even better in person. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Nespresso machine (way, way better than a Keurig) and washer/dryer were especially nice touches. Laura was very welcoming and made herself available when needed. We will definitely be booking this for future Eastport visits!
