Keywords: Cottage
Our much loved family cottage is over 100 years old. It has been updated for the 21st century but retains its charm and character. There are both a gracious front porch and a large screened, rear porch. It is from the screened porch and from the house that one has breath taking views of Portland, Portland Harbor, other islands and on a clear day Mt. Washington.
The cottage faces west so the view each evening is of the sunset, sometimes turning the land and water to rose sometimes to gold.
We have a large eat in kitchen a dining room and a living room, with lots of book shelves filled with choices to meet everyone's interest. There is a full bath on the first floor. Up-stairs are three bedrooms and a full bath.
Our cottage is a ten minute walk from the ferry and the island shops and library. It is a few houses from the school yard, which has a playground and basketball court. It is also only a short walk, or bike ride, to the island clubhouse for children's camp, tennis or sailing.
This is the perfect family vacation spot.

We spent 4 nights/5 days at this pleasant island cottage. We vacationed as children on the island and knew it well. The house was lovely and clean and well maintained and the kitchen equipped. We loved the dining room for meals and the sreened porch in the back for reading. It was about a 15 minute walk from the ferry. We did not think the water views from the house were as expansive as the photos indicate. The owner was very helpful answering all our questions. We had a nice stay. Thanks!
