view of house from water
Location: Waldoboro, Mid-Coast & Islands, Maine, USA (Near Friendship, 70 miles north of Portland)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Located on a quiet, dead-end road, this lovely cape is situated in a sunny clearing, right at the ocean’s edge. The house is nestled into a picturesque cove that forms a network of tidal pools at low tide that herons and water birds love and that are great for exploring. It's a peaceful and relaxing place to spend your vacation. This is coastal Maine at it’s best.
This comfortable and casual year-round house has an open floor plan and is well equipped. The living room with fireplace opens onto the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen has a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and all the cookware, dishes, glassware and utensils that you’ll need to feel at home. There is a sun porch off the kitchen with water views that is great for reading, playing board games or day dreaming.
The house sleeps up to 8 in three bedrooms. The two bedrooms on the first floor each have a queen bed. There’s a full bath on the first floor. Upstairs is a large divided room with four twin beds and a half bath - a great space for kids. We provide all bed and bath linens but ask that you bring your own beach towels. There are wonderful water views from almost every room in the house.
Outside, we have a gas grill, picnic table, and Adirondack chairs down by the water’s edge.
There is great seafood in the area, including fresh-caught lobsters available steps away from one of our neighbors who runs his lobster boat in the area.
We have a deep-water mooring right in front of the house for your boat and our own natural boat launch on the edge of the property. We also have a small ramp and float. There's great kayaking in the in the area and you can put in right in front of the house. The Muscongus Bay area boasts some of the best sailing (or motoring) on the coast of Maine and is just minutes away by boat.
While it feels like you’re away from it all, our house is just a mile from the local convenience store for necessities, as well as newspapers, video rentals, and ice cream. You can be at the famous Moody’s Diner, local supermarkets, gas stations, and drug stores in less than 15 minutes.
Conveniently located for easy day trips to all of coastal Maine’s summer attractions: 30 minutes to Boothbay Harbor and to the Camden, Rockland, and Rockport areas; 90 minutes to L.L. Bean and Freeport’s outlet shopping and to the sandy beaches of Popham Beach and Reid State Park; two and a half hours to Arcadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Nearby community theatre at the renowned Waldo Theatre, is just minutes away.
We welcome your well-behaved dog with prior approval and an additional fee -- please inquire. Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the house.
