About this property

Quiet refuge overlooking Jericho Bay

Quiet, bright, modern home with direct and panoramic ocean views from most of the house, including the living room, master bedroom, and expansive gourmet kitchen. The home is located at the far westerly end of Swans Island on eight acres of land overlooking Jericho Bay. You will see stunning sunsets in the evening, eagles flying between tall pines throughout the day, and awaken in the morning to a view of boats sailing on the water.

Jericho Bay
Pictures do not do it justice, let's just start there. My husband chose this location for his 50th birthday celebration with two of his life long friends in attendance. The entire trip was an adventure that started with Mark's PDF instructions full of planning tips and suggestions, not one of which didn’t hit the bullseye. We took a Jeep, not really necessary ( although we did explore some areas that probably would have been hiked otherwise), and as we pulled up to our first slot in the reservation queue for the ferry, it made it that much more fun. The ferry appeared, and the adventure continued towards the island as we drove aboard, and set off, watching absolutely stunning scenery the whole way, with some dolphins thrown in to make it that much more over the top. Off the ferry and on to the house was simple, and a couple miles down a dirt road 541 Jericho Bay Road appeared, simple and non-descript, an ocean for a back yard. It was stunning. This home is literally perched on the ocean, and we spent every night on the deck watching sunsets each more spectacular than the last, followed by stargazing that a pile of words here would do little justice to, complete with a meteor shower that dazzled us for hours. The house was clean, bedrooms were beautiful (the master is wonderfully excessive), kitchen was big, and the living room provided a view that I can’t say enough about. I will be coming back, and staying with Mark again.

Jericho Bay was a joy
We had such a lovely time during our stay. We were overwhelmed by the views the house offered, each night held a vibrant sunset framed by coastal trees. The house is full of light and windows, and the porch is very comfortable. As a family of artists we spent a lot of time painting out on the porch. We also really appreciated the well equipped kitchen and the open style of kitchen, dining, and living rooms allowed everyone to feel together even if we were doing different things. A great week, indeed.

Fabulous House with Gorgeous Views
We housed our family in this house for the occasion of our son’s wedding. They were absolutely thrilled with the house. Clean, spacious, plenty of bathrooms. The best part is the large deck with comfortable seating and the amazing sunset views.

Perfect Vacation Spot
The house was fantastic. The view of the ocean was fantastic and the house was comfortable and clean. Would definitely book again in the future. The hosts provided detailed info about the house and the island that was very helpful. Loved our stay.
