Location: Searsport, Mid-Coast & Islands, Maine, USA

Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 3)

This coach house apartment is in a completely restored, oceanfront traditional New Englander (The Southerly) that has the old-fashioned charm of days gone by. Enjoy great views of the Penobscot Bay, the boats in Searsport Harbor, Islesboro across the Bay, and Sears Island nearby. Steps across the croquet lawn (also good for bocce or badminton) take you to the beach or to the town wharf for fishing, boating, or kayaking. Take a five minute walk to Searsport town center for restaurants, a family-owned supermarket, antique shops, bookstore, library, etc., and the historic Penobscot Marine Museum.

The newly restored apartment is bright and airy with a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen, a nicely furnished master bedroom suite with a king-size bed (or two twins), a separate bedroom for a child or third person, telephone (with free long distance within the continental US), cable TV, DVD player, stereo system with CD player, wireless internet, private entrance, and off-street parking.

After you've finished kayaking or searching for sea glass on the beach, prepare a barbecue on the gas grill, or enjoy a drink, watching the sun set, from the Adirondack chairs next to the shore. On the Fourth of July you can watch the fireworks in Mosman Park from our gazebo. It's also a perfect spot for watching the Lobster Boat Races in August.

Searsport was an important shipbuilding center in the 1800's and housed many of the sea captains who sailed the seven seas in the clipper ships built here. Also known as the Antique Capital of Maine, it has numerous galleries and antique shops, including several flea markets that merit a visit. Moosepoint State Park is minutes away, as is historic Fort Knox and the newly constructed Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory Tower, with its fabulous views of mid-coast Maine. Charming Belfast, Lincolnville Beach (with ferry to Islesboro), and Camden are also close. The international airport in Bangor is about forty-five minutes away, and Mount Desert Island with Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor is about an hour East on the coastal highway.

  • We have stayed in this lovely apartment twice and have found it to be a perfect vacation rental. The apartment's decor and amenities surpass the ad's description.The location is ideal, and we especially loved having the ocean right outside our door. We will surely return again.

  • Absolutely a perfect property. Wonderful hosts, ideal Maine location. From this little apartment, you have easy access to the Farnsworth Art Gallery in Rockland, sailing in Camden and hikes along the rocky cliffs of Arcadia. The apt is beautifully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen, fluffy towels, comfortable beds. There are sweets in the candy dish, shampoo in the shower and ground coffee in the cupboard - what's not to like. Duffy, the adorable Cairn Terrier in-residence, is just an added bonus!

  • A very nice place to stay. It's like a bed & breakfast without the breakfast. The owners, the Pelczar's, thought of our every need-even taffy in the candy dish! The apartment is nicely decorated and very comfortable. This part of Maine is extremely beautiful with interesting places to visit, such as Camden and Bar Harbor. SO SIGN UP FOR A VISIT.

  • Simply a beautiful place to stay. Perfect location, very tranquil. I would highly recommend this place for a couple or a couple with one (older) child. We loved having our morning coffee while sitting on the Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay.

  • Thanks to Richard for being such a welcoming and gracious host. We loved our stay in August and found the cottage so comfortable and cozy. The best times were the evenings spent on the lawn sipping cocktails and watching the tide come in or go out. Bliss!

  • My sister and I stayed at "The Southerly" from July 16th through the 22nd. The Pelczar were wonderful hosts. They had an entire album filled with all sorts of activities and sites to see. (And we took advantage of all that we could!) The apartment was marvelous. It was decorated nicely and actually felt like a home instead of a hotel. We were able to relax and enjoy the area of Searsport, ME. If asked if we would stay at this location again, we would have to respond with an enthusiatic YES! My sister and feel that we definitely lucked out with our first venture on VRBO! Again,a heartfelt thank you to the Pelczars, for being part of a truly fabulous vacation! Diane L .
