SPECTACULAR VIEWS! 3 acres of WATERFRONT with private dock. 90 Five Star Reviews
Book a Maine vacation that you will never forget!!!….188 East Shore Road is a Vintage Summer Waterfront Cottage that sits up high on the rocky shoreline of Westport Island, in the very DESIRABLE Mid Coast area of Maine. This property offers the ideal spot for corporate retreats, family reunions, meetings, and small events. There are spectacular views of passing lobster boats and local wildlife like harbor seals, osprey, and bald eagles. Wake to the sunrise over Sheepscot Bay. Enjoy coffee on the waterfront patio, or on one of the porches and balcony. Launch a kayak from your private dock and spend the afternoon exploring Maine”s Islands. End the day with Lobsters and socializing around the fire pit! The property comfortably sleeps 12 guests across two separate living spaces, combining a spacious 4 bedroom main cottage with attached private guest quarters. Lots of space for multi generational families. Privacy with no close neighbors. Ideal for reunions and special occasions. The independent guest suite includes its own full kitchen, bathroom and waterfront deck overlooking the Sheepscot River. The seals frolic daily on the ledges directly in front of the property. Located just minutes across the bridge from historic Wiscasset, Edgecomb and the Boothbay Harbor Region, this coastal retreat balances quiet island seclusion with easy access to classic Maine dining, nature preserves, botanical garden, and Maritime adventures! , The guest quarters can be accessed through the main cottage or from its own outside private entrance. There is an outdoor stone patio with grill and griddle, and a fire-pit for cool Maine nights. Kayaking, boating, fishing! Wake up to sunrises over Sheepscot Bay! Bring your boat! The Sheepscot Bay is home to some of the most beautiful boating in Maine. Bath, Wiscasset, and Boothbay Harbor are easily accessible and there is a public boat launch right on the Island, just 6 miles from the cottage.
The Bridge to Westport Island is 3 miles in (east) from route one. The cottage is located 7 miles down the island from the bridge, on the East side of the island. The island itself is about 12 miles long and two miles wide. The East Shore Road circles that side of the island,…and looks over at Barters Island, Southport, Isle of Springs and out to open Ocean and Hendricks Head Lighthouse.
Private and peaceful location,..yet an easy commute to all of the tourist areas and attractions that the beautiful mid coast area of Maine has to offer.
This Historic east side of Westport Island is dotted with charming vintage cottages and farmhouses along its beautiful shoreline. It is a perfect walking and biking area.
The cottage has SPECTACULAR VIEWS of surrounding Islands, Working Lobster Boats and Harbor Seals on the ledges in front. There is easy access to the water and a private dock overlooking a small and active cove.
The wonderful southeastern exposure allows stunning views of the water, wildlife, boating traffic and the sunrise from every window! Watch the lobstermen hauling their traps in early morning. Eagles and Osprey abound. There are seals basking in the sun on the ledges in front of the cottage at low tide….and the FULL MOON over the Sheepscot Bay, is a sight that you will never forget!
3.5 private acres…Airy and spacious rooms with cottage furniture , wicker and antiques. Central heat. A large wrap around porch on the West side of the cottage, to watch the sunsets.
There is a deep water dock on a beautiful peninsula overlooking a cove to the north of the cottage. Bring your boat! There is no better area of Maine for boating,… with lots of towns, restaurants, cozy harbors , coves …all easily accessible from the cottage. It is also a wonderful kayaking , sailing and paddle boarding area.
There are 3 preserves on the island for hiking. Step back in time!…There is a non denominational church from the 1700”s, and our town hall that still hosts town meeting each year. And…we still have a volunteer fire department.
The cottage has an outdoor patio on the water side, with a grill, a griddle and a gas lobster cooker. There are three picnic tables for outdoor gatherings and a waterfront Fire Pit. The cottage is well stocked with books and games and has a ROKU tv with Netflix, for quiet evenings.
There is a well stocked kitchen with an attached sunroom, overlooking the glorious Sheepscot Bay… and out to Open ocean.
