Joy Cottage Lighthouse & Harborview, an Ultimate ME Vacation Home
PRICING - All inclusive pricing makes booking your vacation easy.
One price + VRBO - AirBnB booking fee & Tax = Straightforward Reservation and No surprises
Paddle a kayak on the harbor or rent bikes to cruise to the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse. A secluded back patio (completely fenced in and dog friendly) invites you to unwind by the firepit after a fun-filled day. Highlights of your two-story rental include elegant design, a beautifully updated kitchen, and original New England accents.
LIVING AREA The inviting living area is outfitted with a plush sofa and two armchairs. Relax and watch favorite shows on the 47” TV. The gas fireplace creates added allure. The adjacent office area provides space to check email or write postcards.
KITCHEN & DINING Prepare authentic Maine meals in the kitchen, appointed with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. Home chefs will also appreciate the sweeping granite countertops. When you’re ready to eat, gather around the table for six in the dining area.
BED & BATH This home sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms. Find quiet privacy in the master bedroom, furnished with a queen-size bed with hotel-quality linens. The en-suite bathroom features a luxurious clawfoot bathtub. The second bedroom holds a king-size, while the third bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed. There are two full bathrooms. One on the first floor has a tub. The second bathroom includes a walk-in shower.
OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES Kick back on the front patio as lobster boats pass by on the harbor across the street. The dining table seats four to afternoon snacks. A flagstone patio in the backyard offers a private paradise. Recline under the shade of the gazebo as burgers sizzle on the gas grill. On starry nights, gather around the wood-burning firepit. The front yard and backyard are both surrounded by a picket fence, allowing furry friends to play in the soft grass.
EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS Complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer are provided. Parking is available for three cars in the driveway. The living room fireplace is available for your enjoyment (the fireplace in the dining area is not operational).
Each home comes with full linens and one set of towels per guest. So, if the home accommodates 6 people, you'll find 6 sets of towels waiting for you.
Feel free to use the washer and dryer on-site to freshen them up anytime.
Further, Coastal Maine Vacations has you covered with a handy starter kit. We provide an initial supply of shampoo, conditioner, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, and more. While it's not meant to last your entire stay, it's perfect to get you through your first night or two and help you settle in comfortably.
THE LOCATION Located across the street from the harbor, you can walk 1-minute to a serene waterside setting. Rent kayaks for an exciting aquatic adventure. Located 0.3 miles away, the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse is an iconic landmark. Explore beautiful scenery at Corea Heath, a wildlife refuge located just 2 miles from your rental. Or venture 37 miles to visit Acadia National Park.
Take the Katie Grace ferry to Bar Harbor from Winter Harbor. Located less than five minutes from the house, the ferry will take about 45 minutes and the views are spectacular. As you cross the bay, you can expect to see wildlife —possibly nesting eagles — lighthouses and mansions and watch hardworking lobstermen hauling their traps. Bring your bikes!
Coastal Maine Vacations requires a Saftey background check and a rental contract to be signed at the time of booking. If you would like to see a copy in advance please contact us.
