About this property

Hidden Gem on Westport Island

Welcome to Mid-Coast Maine! Our island house has woodsy privacy, a lovely water view and access to our dock on the Sheepscot River...all within a 10 minute drive from Route 1. The path to the dock is steep, but we use it regularly and are in our 60s and 70s. Inside our house, we have a queen bedroom on the first floor and a double bedroom and a twin bedroom upstairs. We can privately sleeps 5 but a 6th space is available on a comfortable twin pull-out couch in our upstairs loft. We keep our fully equipped kitchen with oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, coffee maker stocked with cooking basics like: olive oil, vinegar, spices, flour, sugar as well as tea and coffee . We have two full bathrooms and a washer/dryer if you need it.
Our spacious deck overlooking the Sheepscot River provides glorious views. Many birds live in our area - including a pileated woodpecker!
We provide a 2-person canoe, a single kayak and a 2-person sit-on-top type ocean kayak. We also provide a charcoal grill with necessary grilling tools. Our yard is shady with grass for a good place to use our various balls, frisbees and even a corn hole game. We have our yard and periphery treated with an organic mosquito and tick repellent to help reduce these summertime pests.
Two sandy ocean beaches and one lake beach, along with many shops, restaurants and galleries are within 30 minutes from Rocky Road. Portland, the largest city near us, is an easy hour's drive with all of its cultural offerings.

We wish we had more time to hang out here! We loved the water views and the sunroom. The bedrooms were cute and beds were comfortable. The hang-out area with books, games and puzzles was a nice bonus. Would love to stay again!

Well stocked gem

We rented for a girl's family vacation. It was a great base location for our trip. It was very well stocked with everything you could think of needing. We were able to relax in the evening with puzzles and a movie. Highly recommended. Communication was excellent!

Our stay was fabulous. Our favorite part of the day was to wake up and go out on the back porch with coffee in hand and enjoy the beautiful view. There were a number of times that we saw deer and raccoons. I couldn't even tell you how many different birds we saw. Carol even provided binoculars for bird viewing. Nice touch! Thank you Carol for a wonderful stay.
