About this property
Charming Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Sunset Views
Turn-of-the-century cottage situated directly on Maine coast waterfront in a secluded clearing. Enjoy evenings on the deck listening to waves lap the shore and watching the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean with Mt. Washington in the background. The location on the western side of a peninsula permits this unique and wonderful perspective. The size and sleeping configuration make this cozy property ideal for one person or a couple. Modern technology comforts with high speed Wi-Fi Internet and Roku with unlimited Netflix. We do NOT have cable TV service, only Roku with unlimited Netflix.
Neighborhood: The cottage is located in a small neighborhood of approximately 15 summer dwellings. These cottages are located at the end of a one mile dirt road through undeveloped forest. So, the area is very quiet with virtually no traffic. There are neighbors on three sides, each approximately 100 feet away. The cottage is situated immediately on the oceanfront and enjoys direct beach access. The beach is rocky, not sandy, so it is not ideal for swimming, though it is well-suited for walks along the shore at low tide. The Atlantic Ocean in Maine is cold, reaching only about 55 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.
