Why Beverly Rhoads chose Roque Bluffs

Need you ask? Maine! The Bay! The perfect place to enjoy the pristine coast of downeast, Maine, out of the hustle and bustle of tourist-ville, but close enough for a day trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia if you desire. And, the Canadian maritimes are 45 minutes away. This is the "real Maine," and it is gorgeous, rugged, wild, and filled with friendly people.

What makes this Cottage unique

There are so many reasons that we love our home in Duck Cove. Here's just a start -- come see more for yourselves! Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail on the "drinking rock, "a rugged outcropping of rocks on the shore that gives you sweeping views of Little Kennebec Bay, numerous islands, and a view to the Bay of Maine beyond. From here you can keep an eye on our sailboat, "Honey," watch the seals swim by, the eagles and ospreys soar overhead, and, in the morning, the sun as it comes up over the confetti of lobster trap buoys dotting the bay. Our neighbors, lobstermen and women, are out early checking their traps in the mist of the morning. In the evenings, when the wind is right, the sound of the waves and the smell of the salt air will lull you to sleep. Knock off the Maine chill with a fire in the woodstove and a glass of your favorite beverage in hand. Watch the August meteor showers from the patio! Enjoy the flowers in our gardens and the treasures along the shore across the cottage road. So much to see and enjoy in this magical place.
