About this property

Oceanfront Getaway in Heart of Downeast Maine

Start your day on the front porch with a cup of coffee as the lobster boats make their way out into the Gulf of Maine. Or you may choose the more active route with a hike up Pigeon Hill trail to be amongst the first in the US to welcome the new day. Whether your focus is to relax and disconnect, be active and engage, or maybe a little bit of both, this B.Still property has what you need to make that a reality.

The main house consists of two bedrooms with memory foam queen beds, quality linens, and oceans views. The home has two bathrooms, including one with a tub, to wash away the days activity or to take a moment for yourself to relax and reflect. The spacious living room comes equipped with a fireplace and record player making it a perfect spot to take in a cool Maine summer night. Also don’t forget the telescope where you can take in the night sky and maybe get a glimpse of the Milky Way . When dinner time arrives, the family can gather around the large dining room table, or perhaps choose the more casual route with counter seating. Should you want to grab some lobster fresh off the dock and give your own boil a shot, the kitchen has been recently upgraded with quartz counters and stainless appliances and includes everything you would need to cook your lobster feast.

Should you require a little additional space to spread out, the property also has a separate bunkhouse. The suite consists of a queen memory foam bed, high ceilings, all tastefully decorated to give off that Jackson Hole, WY vibe. Also on property is a spacious daybed where you can drink in the views of the bay and a camp grill with equally enviable views. If you want a closer look at that beautiful view, we have two kayaks on site with two adult and one children's life vest.

The house is clean, beautiful, lots of natural light. The view from the back porch can’t be beat. We loved going to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The best was coming home to the peace and quiet of the house over looking the harbor and watching the lobster boats! Such a quiet peaceful area, you hear more boats than cars! We feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

Gorgeous views from every room. Ray was a great host and had really nice local recommendations for restaurants, activities, and boat trips. We really enjoyed the cabin, which was meticulously clean and well-stocked. We hope to come back for another visit.We saw many seals from the front porch along with seabirds. Lovely location!

Extremely, EXTREMELY pleased with this rental. Ray, the gentleman taking care of the place was very helpful and friendly, also gave us a few spots to visit as we are from NJ. House was very simple and IMMACULATE! Breathtaking sun and moon rises out on the back day. Had all the amenities we needed to get started. Had some trouble connecting the TV to our WiFi but got it all working fine (turned out to be operator error, not the TV although I could care less about the TV with the views we had!) Highly recommend and well worth the cost. We plan to return now that we are hiking junkies!!! Thanks Ray!!!

The house was just what we needed two adults, one teen child one adult child and one small dog. The house has everything you need and more. It was clean, comfortable right on the water with the most beautiful sunrises. I loved hearing the boats in the morning. The kayaks are such a nice touch and the absolute perfect place to use them. A short 25 minute drive to Winter Harbor, hop on the ferry to Bar Harbor, and enjoy a whole day of shopping and food. I would absolutely stay here again and look forward to it.

I absolutely loved this house. I could have stayed much longer! It is very close to the water—the pictures don’t actually do it justice. The views were amazing, and we enjoyed the quiet and solitude. I do wish it had a dishwasher, but you can look out at the water while you wash dishes so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Ray (the caretaker) was super informative and gave us some great advice on hiking trails. Just an FYI—if you show up late on a Sunday, many things (including the closest grocery) close very early, so make sure you bring some provisions with you.
