About this property

Riverfront condo w/ deck overlooking the water - steps to dining & shopping

Watch kayakers, sailboats, and working fishing boats navigate up and down the broad Sheepscot River from this one-bedroom condo at the water's edge in Wiscasset. You'll wake up to incredible waterfront views of the rising sun each morning, and you'll enjoy unbeatable proximity to the darling shops, restaurants, and lobster shacks that populate this charming town. The interior is comfortably casual, offering a compact kitchen that opens to a light-filled dining and parlor space, a separate living room, one bedroom with a queen-size sleigh bed, and a gorgeous deck that overlooks the river and the surrounding town.

What's nearby:
This riverfront condo is located in the very center of Wiscasset, a small town on the Sheepscot River in the heart of Midcoast Maine. You'll be mere steps from Red's Eats, which boasts one of the most legendary lobster rolls in Maine, and an easy walk from other local favorites that include Little Village Bistro, Sprague's Lobster, and Water Street Kitchen and Bar. You can rent canoes and kayaks at Wiscasset Trading Post (four miles southwest) or Midcoast Kayak (seven miles east), or explore some of the many beauties that surround you by car. Downtown Boothbay Harbor awaits 13 miles south and is home to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the Maine State Aquarium. You could also head east on Route 1 for a scenic drive to Rockland, Rockport, or Camden on the shores of Penobscot Bay.

Excellent Stay

This was the fourth time we have rented the Sunshine on the Sheepscot apartment and it was delightful as usual. The apartment has a charming, historic feel but still has most of the modern amenities. Be aware that there is a fairly steep staircase to get to the apartment so it maybe won’t be the best choice for people with mobility issues but it is highly recommended for a great stay in Wiscasset!

Lovely location, excellent view

Beautiful little apartment, the view from the balcony was excellent, and there's a delightful little coffee/ice cream shop practically underneath it, in the little nook between the building and Red's. A lovely relaxing stay 🙂

Wiscasset Beauty

We have traveled Midcoast Maine since childhood and have always admired this historic riverfront Wiscasset building. We were so happy for the opportunity to stay here! The space is thoughtfully arranged as both an homage to its history and a cozy living space with gorgeous Sheepscot views. Perfect landing spot for Wiscasset's beautiful walking tour, eateries and shops. We loved every minute. Thank you!

A wonderful spot.

We very much enjoyed everything about this rental. Even in 85+ degree heat, the breeze off the river kept the deck space & kitchen very cool. Great location for exploring the coast or just walking around town & chill in out.
