This 1930's waterfront cottage on Long Cove in West Bath was completely renovated in 2007 and is being offered for rent for the first time. At high tide we are surrounded on 3 sides by water, just feet from the house - like being in a boat!
One can often see fish jumping out of the water all around the house - great fishing according to neighbors (we are not fishers). These are perfect calm waters for canoeing or kayaking through endless coves out towards Casco Bay. Our four person canoe is available for renters.
Conveniently located, we are ~ a 2-½ hour drive from Boston’s Logan Airport and 45 minutes north of Portland’s airport.
For many years this cottage was owned by a famous artist who used it as his studio. He was known for his paintings and sculptures of birds. It is a special spot. Watch the birds come in as the tide goes out ... egrets and great blue herons fishing for clams. There is boat access from the house for 6-7 hours per tide cycle.
Maximum occupancy is 4. There is one bedroom with a four-poster queen bed and two twin daybeds in the living room. Pets are considered, but the yard is not fenced.
The kitchen has an antique oak table, all new cabinets and stainless steel appliances. A huge nautical chart of the area is hung over the table so one can locate our cove in the ‘big picture’. Windows are everywhere in the kitchen,living room, bedroom and bath to take advantage of the light and the views (and the natural breezes - which mean air conditioning is never needed).
The full bathroom has all new fixtures, slate flooring, and hand-painted tile around the window. There is a hot and cold outdoor shower if you prefer – we do!
The bedroom has a vaulted wood ceiling with large skylight, a wall of windows, and a queen 4 poster bed.
