We stayed at this property 6 years ago during COVID and were really happen to come back. The house is really beautiful and comfortable and has the best ocean view of any house we have ever rented. We also loved being able to walk to Eastport. Deb, the owner was very responsive to all our inquiries and questions. She even sent us a list of recommendations hikes. We hope to come back again. Highly recommend this place.

Best stocked short-term rental I've ever been at.

Beautiful Home and Spectacular View!!!

Can’t say enough positive things about this home and location- while this is probably not the best spot for those who want nightlife or fine dining, if you love nature, peace & quiet and LOTS of steamed lobster- this is your spot! Deb was a pleasure to work with & an incredibly helpful host! House is well-equipped, beds are super comfortable, and the view is an absolute show-stopper! A+!

Beautiful home with great views!

Absolutely loved our trip!! This was our first trip to Maine and we weren't disappointed! Starting with this lovely house with spectacular views from both inside and outside!! It was great relaxing on the deck watching the seals, eagles, porpoises, and whales everyday!! Along with watching the ferry run between Deer Island and Campbello Island daily. We had a great time exploring Eastport and the surrounding area! The house is well furnished and felt like home! The ping pong table was a great addition that was also enjoyed daily! We will definitely be back!!!!

This was our third stay at this beautiful Eastport home, and it continues to be just as magical as ever. The house is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully renovated, with incredible panoramic views of the bay. We loved waking up to breathtaking sunrises and spending time out on the spacious deck, watching for marine mammals and stargazing in the peaceful quiet of the coast.The open layout makes it easy to relax and enjoy quality time with family, and the kitchen & dining spaces are perfect for shared meals. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. The location is ideal – a short walk to downtown Eastport’s charming shops, galleries, and restaurants, yet still feels secluded and serene.Each time we’ve visited, we’ve left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning our next stay. This place is truly a special retreat, and we’re so grateful to the owners for sharing it with others.

Little Piece of Heaven

Where to begin. Gorgeous house, clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need in this special place. Your own nature excursion from the deck. We had daily sightings of whales, eagles and seals, all in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee in your hand. Lots of information on local attractions and the best time to go. The views….300 degree panoramic view of the Canadian Maritime. Best girls week ever! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

This property was absolutely breathtaking..both inside and out. It is exactly as shown in the pictures inside and the views capture you from the moment you arrive! Clark, the seal came every day to sun himself on the little island out front and stayed during entire low tide…even brought his girlfriend now and then. Sunrise is amazing..don’t miss it! As for the house it is beautifully decorated (I am stealing a few ideas for my own home!). Fully stocked with plenty of dinnerware, silverware, cookware, spices, and gadgets! The beds were comfy, the house was spotlessly clean, views from every single room. Owners were very friendly and helpful. This was hands down one of the best places we have ever stayed. I cannot think of a single negative thing to say. Oh…and when we were able to tear ourselves away from the deck, the downtown area is very cute..lots of shops and places to eat, friendly people, and very walkable. 10 stars if we could!

Exceptional Place to Stay

We had never been to Maine before and staying in Eastport was the perfect experience. Deb was ever so helpful in suggestions on things-to-do that would accommodate my 83-year-old mother. The house was lovely, everything we needed was there. IGA was very well stocked. Townsfolks are super friendly and happy to tell you about local history and places to visit. Things I recommend are: -go to Dastardly Dick's for coffee. Great way to meet and chat with locals. -WaCo Diner has great food and friendly service -Walk to downdown and enjoy the shops, you really do not have to drive around there much. -Visit Fisherman's Wharf in Lubec, if you go out to see the West Quaddy Lighthouse. Great lunch -In Canada, the Kingsbrae Gardens are perfect for a date night or anniversary luncheon or dinner. we will be back again

An absolutely fantastic view. The unit was superbly equipped with soaps, dishes, towels, cleaning products, and much more. It was a great base for exploring Lubec, Campobello, Deer Island, St. Andrews, Calais and Grand Manan. We even visited Jasper Beach and the Reversing Falls. Eastport is a quaint and significantly historic town. The host was easy to communicate with.
