Keywords: House
This gorgeous, cedar-sided, 3/4-bedroom home is newly built and has all the charm and character of a classic Maine island home. Located on Long Island, a low-key fishing and lobstering community in Casco Bay, this family-friendly home is situated on one-and-a-half fenced-in private acres.
The home includes a well-stocked kitchen, combination dining and living room, and a separate TV room with a flat-screened TV. The living room has a fireplace and bookshelves filled with books and the TV room is stocked with plenty of DVDs and VHSs for the whole family. On the first floor there is a bedroom with a full-size bed and a full-bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full-bath. The children’s room has two twin beds and an attached playroom with a full-size futon and plenty of games. This room can also be a fourth bedroom if needed.
One of our best features is our location! We are a five-minute walk from the ferry landing, a one minute walk to the newest cafe on the island, Captain Perry's. We are also a three to four minute walk to both general stores, and a ten-minute walk to the best beach in Casco Bay! Down the street is our post office. Around the corner is a Bed and Breakfast/Restaurant, a library and school yard with playground, and basketball and tennis courts.
Long Island has beautiful conservation trails, perfect for biking or long walks, fishing, a lobster pound, and on a clear evening, sunsets over Mount Washington. Frequent ferry service to Portland gives you access to superb restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, Freeport and L.L.Bean, an art museum, children’s museum and much more.

Perfect spot for a relaxing vacation

We have stayed on Long Island in this house for two years running. The Island, the beaches, the house, and the yard are all perfect for us. If you like hustle and bustle, something exciting at every turn, keep looking. This island, this house are peace incarnate.we love vacationing as a family as a time to enjoy each other, talk, walk, bike, swim, cook, eat, play chess, read. This would be boring for some; it is heaven for us. The house is clean, comfortable, cozy, with ample space for 6. We cook daily at home, going out to eat rarely. This does not change on vacation. The kitchen in this house is easy to use, full on great tools and gadgets. I would email Whole Foods in Portland and they would shop, pack and load the groceries unto the mid afternoon ferry. Fun! If that isn't your idea of fun, there is Captn' Perry's for breakfast, lunch and occasionally dinner and pizza, sandwiches chili and ice cream at the Long Island Market. The owners are delightful; emails back and forth have been so fun. The yard has apple trees, birds and an occasional deer with her fawns. Four wonderful beaches are all within easy walking distance. One cafe, two small (!) markets, the post office and the fabulous library are also close by. If you decide to stay in this cozy hide away, raise a glass (or mug) of your favorite beverage and toast the island for me.

My husband and I took a week long vacation with two other couples and had a wonderful time! The home was the perfect size for the 6 of us and we were able to enjoy big, home cooked meals at the house but also go into Portland and be waited on when we wanted to be pampered. We relaxed on the beach, took walks around the island, and enjoyed lots of wine with good company. Great place for adults looking to get away but also a place I'd come back to with our kids.

My wife and I were looking for a house that would be a good place for us and our kids to spend a nice, quiet week and this house completely exceeded our expectations - it is on a quiet part of the island and is within easy access to all sorts of outdoor activities (bass fishing!). The kids spent hours on the beach, my wife and I enjoyed biking around the island... it is only a short ferry ride into Portland - great shops, good restaurants. Would definitely recommend this house for families or anyone looking for a quiet vacation in a beautiful spot!

This home was a wonderful place for us to stay during our honeymoon. The springtime was an absolutely beautiful time of year to stay in this lovely home. We saw many deer on our long walks around the island. This is a great location for families, couples, friends, and anyone looking for the perfect home with serenity and quiet. The house is fully stocked and in a great location - very close to the beaches. It was a wonderful romantic getaway!

This is an absolutely beautiful house, my family and I had a wonderful vacation here. What was really great about it was how convenient and close it was to everything we needed. It is only a five minute walk to the ferry, about a three minute walk to either of the general stores and a quick ten minutes to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The house has a great yard and a nice back patio to grill on. It was very clean and well equip with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend renting this house, I know I will again.
Owner response:Thank you for your wonderful review. We greatly appreciate it and will be happy to have you stay again. Enjoy your Spring!

Perfect Island Get-away

I stayed in this house three years ago when it was owned by the previous owner. I heard the house was for sale then and if my circumstances allowed I would have put in an offer! The description of the house is entirely accurate. It has all amenities your could want, is spacious and comfortable. My husband, brother and I stayed for a week, bought lobsters from a local lobster man and just had a really relaxing week. Our great-grandparents were from Long Island and it is a place we have known all our lives so it felt like 'coming home', and this cottage felt like a real home to come to. I would (will) rent it again! Even though as I live in Yorkshire, England, it isn't a short trip.
