Newly offered, this non-smoking, renovated, traditional (circa 1900) water's edge cottage is only a "stone's throw" from the sea. Wake up to the calling of the sea gulls, ospreys and eagles, watch the lobster boats as they work, sit on the front porch and sip your coffee and walk the few steps to the shore, as you wish.
A panoramic south and southwesterly view of eastern Casco Bay with at least 10 islands in sight without moving your head. Directly across from the cottage is the much-publicized Malaga Island. Kayaks, canoes, rafts and other hand-carried watercraft can be launched from your front lawn. Larger trailered boats can be launched from neighboring launch ramps (two private, one public). One mooring available, on request, for boats up to 25 feet.
Modern kitchen equipped with microwave, electric stove, coffee maker, refrigerator and necessary pots, pans, and utensils. Large living room/dining room with a table expandable to seat eight persons, a hearth & stove, couch, a cushioned corner seat overlooking the ocean, TV with DVD, (includes Basic Cable (Channels 2 through 14), High Speed Internet, CD player/radio/phonograph and records, patio door to porch, and more. Bathroom with shower, lavatory, etc. completes the downstairs. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three with single beds, one with a double bed, all of which have new Swedish style mattresses. All linens, and towels provided. Clothesline for bathing suits and towels, etc.
Plus you may catch striped bass (rockfish), bluefish, flounder, mackerel and others from/immediately off "your" frontage, depending on how the fish are "running". If your nautical and fishing desires are not there that day, there are many other pursuits. For those who would like a moderately priced meal, there is the Water's Edge Restaurant, about a five-minute walk south. For those wishing to drive one mile, there is the Sebasco Harbor Resort, which not only has an 18 hole golf course, kayak rentals, sailing and deep sea fishing trips, but also dining at their "Pilot House" and the more casual "The Ledges Pub".
Also in the vicinity, within a 15-minute drive, are the beaches at Small Point and Popham Beach State Park, both of which have admission fees. A closer beach is that at Totman Cove which is a shallow, protected beach owned by the town & free, best at high tide.
At Popham (Beach) are the historic Forts, Popham and Baldwin as well as a beautiful beach walk. There Spinney's Restaurant has a reasonable menu.
Once you have relaxed a bit or if the weather dictates it is not a "beach day", there are many other drivable destinations. Among them are the Phippsburg Historical Society Museum, the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, L.L. Bean and many factory outlets in Freeport, the Peary MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College in Brunswick and the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. Bath & environs, also have several eateries: Kennebec Tavern, J.R. Maxwell's, Beale Street Barbeque and Grill and The Taste of Maine, to name some.
The area has much to offer scenically, historically, culturally, and gastronomically. If you don't believe it yet, ask the owner, buy some fresh lobsters at the "dock price" (wholesale) & enjoy!
