About this property

Charming Castine Coastal Getaway – Harbor Views, History & Outdoor Adventure

Wake up to ocean views and end your day paddling into a glowing Maine sunset. A timeless coastal getaway since 1950
Tucked away in the charming seaside town of Castine, this peaceful retreat is your gateway to classic coastal living—where days are spent outdoors and evenings are pure magic.

This charming getaway is sparkling with fresh energy under new management—but don’t let the lack of reviews fool you! The same dedicated owners, with over 50 years of loving care for this home, are still behind every thoughtful detail. Experience the tradition and warmth guests have enjoyed for decades, now with an exciting new touch!

This cabin is one of four on our private waterfront property—family-run and welcoming guests since 1950. For generations, families have returned here year after year to experience a true Maine summer. Each cabin is fully separate, offering privacy while still being close enough for group gatherings. Traveling with a larger group? Rent multiple cabins—perfect for reunions, retreats, or trips with friends. Just message us and we’ll help coordinate availability!

The Experience
This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down and reconnect.
Step outside and let the kids roam free while you enjoy the simple pleasures: lawn games, fresh ocean air, and space to truly unwind. Launch a kayak from nearby waters, explore the harbor, or pack a picnic and paddle over to Mayo Point.
As the sun sets, take the canoe out for a quiet glide across the water—one of those moments you’ll remember long after your trip ends.
