About this property
Walk to Campobello & beach/Weekly discount/Pets welcome/Water views /Fire pit
Come explore the Bold Coast and stay for a while at our charming 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath water view cottage.You will enjoy the in town location with views of Campobello Island and the Lubec Narrows. It is located beside the Roosevelt bridge to Campobello Island. It is only a 10 minute walk from Mowry beach and wildlife preserve and restaurants and gift shops. We have a small viewing room, the "Crow's Nest", on the 4th floor whith a view of the town, Roosevelt bridge, and the Lubec Narrows. We have 3 stools salvaged from one of the last sardine packing warehouses in the "Crow's Nest" where you can sit and watch the boats come in. The deck also has views of the park and the Narrows. We offer a 10% discount for all law enforcement, and active duty or retired military and first responders, just message us before you make your reservation and we will add the discount. We have a fast response and resolution time if any issue comes up. We work hard to make sure you have the best stay possible. Our cancellation policy is relaxed and reasonable. We understand that things happen that are beyond your control. We make exceptions for family health issues ( this includes pets, they are family, too) and inclement weather. We have no pet fee, a low cleaning fee of only $150, and a 10% weekly discount. The Seafarer's Retreat is large house, but the living room, kitchen, and bathrooms are small because it was built in 1883. It has lots of charm, great views of Campobello Island and the Lubec Narrows, and an excellent in town location. This house gets the cool coastal breeze and so does not have air conditioning only baseboard heaters for the cold mornings and nights , so when you go out exploring on a warm day be sure to leave some windows open to keep the house cool. You can sit on the deck and watch the boats come in to town or during Summer Keys listen to free music from the park next door. The Seafarers Retreat sleeps up 8 adults comfortably, but we market it for 6 because the living room dining room , kitchen ,and bathrooms are small. The bedrooms are all a reasonable size and all beds have comfortable, soft memory foam mattress toppers with lots of pillows and extra blankets . The bedrooms do not have chests of drawers, but they do all have closets with hangers and luggage racks. All 4 of the bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors so this home will not be a good fit for guest that have difficulty with climbing stairs. The walk-in showers in the bathrooms are small so if large bathrooms are a must for you our house will not be a good fit. Children of all ages and dogs of all sizes are welcome here! There is plenty of room for your family with 4 bedrooms, and 2 and a half bathrooms. There is a bathroom on each floor, so no walking up or down stairs in the middle of the night. The bathrooms do not have a tubs only small walk in showers, but there is a bathtub for babies in the 3rd story closet. This home is family and pet friendly! You will find a highchair, pack and play, kid sized plates, step stools for tooth brushing, child's toilet seat, a baby gate for the stairs. There is an on-demand generator to weather any storms if you stay during spring or fall months. You can walk or drive and explore Lubec and Campobello. We highly recommend whale watching tours with Downeast Charters (operating from June to mid-September) and taking the ferry to Eastport (runs Thursday- Sunday) where you will find dining and unique gift shops. Lubec has a few restaurants, a couple of cool gift shops, a fishing pier, the Fisherman's memorial, an old-style hardware store, and an IGA for groceries and alcohol. The restaurants in this area close earlier than in larger towns, most close between 7 and 8pm, so plan on an early dinner. You will be in town, but it is a quiet and peaceful location and the whole town is very laid back. Lubec is a nature lovers paradise, but there is no night life, it is just a small, historic fishing town. If you want an escape from busy city life this is the place for you. Walk or drive across the bridge to Campobello Island and explore the numerous hiking trails there and have tea and cookies at the Roosevelt summer cottage. Campobello is open to you if you have a passport and now you no longer need proof of vaccination. If you like hiking there are lots of trails in the area, we highly recommend the Quoddy head lighthouse's coast guard trails. From the deck you will enjoy a great view of the Roosevelt bridge, the Narrows, and the huge, 23 foot, rise and fall of the tides. It is a 10-minute walk to Mowry beach which is a sandy public beach where you can find sea glass. You follow a rose lined (roses are blooming in late June) path to a sandy beach with a view of Grand Manan Island in the distance. There as a small viewing room on the 4th floor (the Crow's Nest) with windows all around so you can see in all directions. The Retreat has a smart TV with basic cable and 200Mbps high speed internet for streaming and free WIFI. You will find a full kitchen ready for you to prepare a meal. There is a Keurig coffee maker and a variety of k-cups as well as a regular coffee maker. You are our guests, so we make sure you have coffee, creamer, sugar, lots of utensils, and a huge lobster pot! All dogs welcome! No weight limit on your best friend! There are extra personal care items for you such as prepackaged toothbrushes, razors, lotion, etc. just take what you need. Pack some beach combing clothes, hop in your car, and come and relax and recharge at the Seafarers Retreat! No smoking, and please return all TV equipment to its original settings if you make any changes.

Fantastic spot, even better than we expected! Perfect for 4 friends and 2 dogs, walking distance to everything with seals to greet us in the morning at beach just steps from the house. Very clean with everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

This house was amazing! Excellent location, very clean, hosts were so communicative and nice. The house feels fresh and airy with views of the water and just a short walk to everywhere in Lubec. The beds were comfy and it was overall a wonderful stay! Also appreciate so dog friendly even though we didn’t take advantage of that :)

Thanks for being such wonderful guests! We hope that you can come back next summer!
This is a wonderful place to stay! We only stayed 2 nights but wished we could have stayed longer. The views are amazing. We walked to the beach and watched the sunrise each morning. The house was clean, beds and pillows very comfortable, the hosts obviously go above and beyond to make the stay easy and pleasant, as well as being accommodating! We have 2 small children and they provided amenities so that we did not have to pack our own. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for leaving the house in such great shape! We are so happy that your family enjoyed your stay and we hope that you will come back next summer 😊
Everything was wonderful - clean, well stocked, dog friendly, beautiful scenery, and the home itself has so much charm and is in a great location. I can't say enough about how happy we were with our stay - definitely a perfect home away from home :)

Thanks for your great review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay!
We love this house! We have stayed here several times before and have always had a great experience! The house is spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfotable. You can sit on the deck for a great water view, or take a short stroll down the street to arrive at the beach. Also, the little center of Lubec is steps away. Damon and Jamie are wonderful hosts who have thought of everything to make this a wonderful vacation getaway.

A wonderful place to stay within easy walking distance of cool and quirky downtown Lubec. Extremely clean and well laid out, with delightful welcoming snacks. One of the best VRBO rentals out of many that we’ve enjoyed across the country and Canada.

Thank you for the wonderful review! When our guests are happy we are, too! Thanks for leaving the house so clean! You are great guests and we hope that you will come back next summer!
Charming, clean...and the sea air were just what we needed for this mini college reunion.
The perfect spot for a low key, relaxing vacation. So completely different from where I live in Wyoming, and the locals are friendly even at the end of what had to be a tourist-weary summer. The house and hosts could not have been better! Great views, comfy furniture...it was just right.

About the host
Hosted by Damon & Jamie Martin
We wanted to buy a little cabin, on a lake, in the Maine woods, but when we came to Lubec we fell in love with the area and chose to invests our time and money here. Watching the sunrises , sunsets, and all of the wildlife will never get old. We opened our home as a vacation rental because we wanted to share the Lubec experience with others. We have made great family memories here and want others to be able to do the same.
Why they chose this property
It is a new house built over the bones of an 1800s Water street house. We love the window seats, reading nooks, view from almost every window, and the enclosed widows walk at the top of the house.
What makes this property unique
It is right by the Roosevelt bridge, walking distance from Mowry Beach, and we can watch yoga in the park and small concerts.
