We just love this place! It's in the most beautiful area and the house is special too. We stayed there with our close friends, three kids in total and all had a great time. We saw bald eagles and seals in the harbor. The stars at night are beyond compare

We rented this home two years ago and couldn’t wait to come back. We have three teen boys and they were excited to return as well. While there are lots of places to explore, it’s hard to leave the serenity of this property. The views are unbeatable and the stars at night are incredible. The hosts are welcoming and friendly. Needless to say - we hope to return for many more stays.

We loved our stay in this little piece of paradise. The easy, secluded shore access felt like a rare privilege. We had a lot of fun climbing the rocks, looking for the most beautiful stones, and making stone soup. Recommend water shoes. The grocery store and a few restaurants weren't too far. The house was generously stocked and communication with the owner was great. Everything was clean and worked well. We didn't have internet during our 5 night stay due to the provider not being able to make it out to troubleshoot (and the remoteness, I'm sure). So keep this in mind if you rely on wifi. Phone reception was also spotty. A nice excuse to unplug and do a puzzle.

I am so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. As to the internet we had a technician come and we found out that they had never taken us off pause for service! Since we are seasonal we shut it down for the winter. Alas, problem solved and everything is working perfectly!!

Family get away

The property is lovely. It is secluded and quiet, which is what we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful location, peaceful atmosphere and private beach. Our granddaughters were also captivated by the two hares that were there feeding on the lawn each day. The location is perfect for privacy but also so close to the state park and other wonderful places to adventure. We would absolutely stay again!

Great retreat!

My husband, 10 yr old son, and I had a wonderful week at this beautiful home! The beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in away from home and the grounds are perfect for relaxing! We enjoyed hiking the Great Wass Preserve and visiting Machias Seal Island preserve to see the Puffins as well as playing in the cove and relaxing out back.

Absolute beautiful Maine coastal stay

Our family arrived for a way too short 4 days. This fabulous property is pretty remote so I would recommend staying longer! The house and views and property are stunning. We spent most nights cooking wonderful dinners and just hanging out! Loved this property so much and have many hopes to return in a year or two! Communication with host was excellent also!

The home was even better than we expected. Ocean views all day, with a short walk to the private beach. The home was amazing, plenty of space for everyone to relax after a day of activities. The home had everything we would need and April was extremely responsive. We loved our time in Roques Bluff as we made it our base for visiting various spots along the coast and inland.

This is for sure a special place. The house is nicely built and furnished with fantastic views from every window. Pictures do not do this property justice! The private beach / cove is amazing and truly unique. The views, the house, the location... All un-matched!

About the host

Hosted by April Shoemaker

Host profile image
We are from Maine originally, but have lived in New Jersey
for over 35 years. We live in a very country like town, really
more like a village. We live on 6 acres.

Why they chose this property

Since we live in a rural environment, when we looked for property
privacy was very important to us and of course, when we saw
our views, since we are right on the ocean there was no doubt
where we should be. We love our property and we have fabulous
friends that we know here in Maine. Feel very blessed.

What makes this property unique

Our home is very nice (we added new appliances and granite
countertops in the kitchen) and basically tried to decorate it
as a beautiful cottage with a simplicity that would be appealing
and comfortable. Our bedding done with quality and lots of pillows
to make your nights sleep like home. I tell guests just bring your clothes and stop to get food we have everything else waiting for you!!
