Oceanfront Cottage & Guest House, Private Beach, 3 Miles to Acadia National Park
Welcome to your coastal Maine retreat! Nestled along the picturesque shoreline, our enchanting oceanfront cottage and guest house is a mere 3 miles from the entrance of beautiful Acadia National Park. This casual and charming retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure and privacy, ensuring an unforgettable getaway.
Main Cottage:
Discover comfort and serenity in our main cottage, featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The spacious interior is adorned with coastal Maine decor and windows that frame panoramic views of the ocean. A fully stocked kitchen and laundry facilities provide all of the comforts of home. Awake to the rhythmic sounds of the ocean, and savor your morning coffee overlooking the waters edge as you soak in the beauty of the sunrise over the Atlantic.
Guest Cottage:
Adjacent to the main cottage (just across the driveway) is our guest house, a spacious king studio boasting a full bathroom and a cozy futon for additional sleeping arrangements. This private haven is a retreat within a retreat, offering a separate space for relaxation and rejuvenation. A perfect setup for large family groups with varying energy levels.
Private Beach (Accessible at lower tide levels):
Step onto your private small rock beach, a secluded stretch of coastline where tranquility meets the tide. Whether you're strolling along the shore in search of sand dollars and sea glass, skipping stones, jumping in your kayaks or simply enjoying ocean breezes and the sounds of nature, this exclusive beachfront setting promises moments of pure bliss. Keep an eye out for fish, seals, porpoise, and ocean birds, creating a mesmerizing backdrop to your coastal escape.
Modern Comforts:
Stay cool and comfortable with air conditioning/ heat pumps in both cottages, ensuring a refreshing atmosphere no matter the weather. After a day of exploration, return to the coziness of your seaside retreat for a traditional Maine lobster bake and relish in the breathtaking sunsets that paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.
Area Amenities:
Just a quick one mile drive from the property, you'll find activities for a fun night out including lobster pound and barbeque restaurants, home made ice cream and Pirate's Cove miniature golf course!
