About this property

Authentic Generational Herring and Lobster Fishing Home with Light house Views

This recently constructed cape style home adjacent to Walter's commercial wharf with magnificent pristine, open ocean views, numerous islands including Petit Manan with working light house operating today. Relax and enjoy the panoramic view from the deck of your home of colorful buoys bobbing in the sparkle of the bay. Enjoy the sound of the shore and migratory ducks and shore birds. In the evening, catch a glimpse of the Petit Manan Lighthouse light. The experience of the quaint working harbor catching seasonal fish and lobster is all a stones throw away from you and your family as you vacation.

This newly constructed home stated in white window and ash wood with hard ash wood floors throughout includes 3 bedrooms, (2 bedrooms upstairs, 1 down) 2 baths, (1 up, 1 down), a full size kitchen featuring custom built ash cabinets, granite counter tops and state of the art high end appliances to accommodate all your culinary needs. The full size porch invites you to experience the sounds, sights and smells of the kelp and salty air first hand.
A home equipped with all the creature comforts one would need.

Working water front of the area abounds with local history and tales of the sea, the lore of adventure that continue even today and the first hand experience and culture that has been in existence here for three generations!

Located out the front door on Petit Manan Point itself is Petit Manan Point Wildlife Refuge, Downeast Conservatory's Pigeon Hill Preserve, a quiet quaint Chapel, All Souls by the Sea, built in the 30's open to guests and visitors in July and August.

A short 15 minute drive away is the one time clipper ship building town of Milbridge where you will find old sea captain homes built by the very same people who designed the great clipper ships of the area. Along with a well stocked food market that has everything you need, Milbridge has gift shops, restaurants, a number of churches, medical support, a drug store, post office, public offices, a library, and museum featuring among other things the ship building industry of the area.

A few recommendations include authentic Mexican food and Maine's number one ice cream Gifford's ice cream.
Be sure to stop at River Lily gift shop with local crafts, jewelry and books, a great card selection, all within 7 miles.

This was our second stay at this beautiful waterfront house and will not be our last!The home is great and has a fantastic kitchen - perfect for those fresh lobster dinners! Our host was very easy to communicate with and very friendly - made us feel right at home. The location of this home is perfect - close to a lot of great things to, but secluded and quiet as well. Highly recommend!

This was the second time I've stayed here. Last time I had invited two other couples. Unfortunately they were unable to come this time. So myself and my husband came alone. My favorite place in Maine to stay at is this location. Thank you for another Magnificent vacation.

Not just stay but an experience!!!

We loved the house! Very spacious, super clean, comfortable beds, wonderful kitchen! Being directly across the street from the harbor is awesome! Beautiful views! We wanted an authentic Maine experience and I feel like we got it. Acadia is about an hour & twenty minutes away. We got some lobsters from Brian, very nice & funny guy, he told us how to cook them. They were delicious!!! We would definitely stay here again. NOT JUST A STAY BUT AN EXPERIENCE!!!

Steuben in Fall

Secluded, peaceful, quiet and away from civilization. Be prepared to drive to get into a town with basic supplies. The fall colors were absolutely stunning. Many deer and a resident porcupine were spotted. We enjoyed our stay.

The VBRO was clean and great view of the ocean.

The location was really nice and overlooked the ocean. We took a short drive to the animal refuge and hiked the trail. Totally enjoyed it and one of the best things we did. Also, time fell short but wish we would have also walked the 2 trails that are across for the Cemetary.

We had a wonderful time in Maine staying at this property. The owners were super organized, had everything set up for us as well as a lovely welcome note with extra info about the area.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Strout

Host profile image
Walter was an authentic third generation fisherman who was born and raised in the area locally.
He loved his heritage and the water. He grew up fishing with his dad beginning at the ripe old age of four.
Walter had personal and historical stories of the time and area that he would weave and share with you as he prepped for another day doing what he has done all his life; making a living from the sea!

Sadly, Walter passed in August, 2017 after a brief illness. His legacy lives on with his middle son using and operating his fishing wharf across the street from Walter's home. His eldest and youngest son are continuing to share the house with all those who wish to experience the beauty of Downeast Maine.

Why they chose this property

Walter came by this property as it was handed down from his grandfather to his dad and from his dad to him. With a strong and steely wharf and decades of fishing/lobster gear and boats, Walter is keeping the tradition going for generations to come. His son Brian is now the owner/operator of the wharf. You will see his boat, the "Sunshine Chalet" coming and going throughout the days.

What makes this property unique

With the smell of the sea, unimaginable views, and generations of livelihood running through his veins, Walter could not imagine any other place on earth he would rather be. "Paradise exists, and I've found it right here in my quiet little village."
