About this property

Gorgeous oceanfront Home overlooking Penobscot Bay , Castine Maine

Peregrine House is a beautiful air conditioned, three bedroom, three level home on the ocean in Castine, Maine. Castine is a historic, picturesque coastal town, known for its history as one of North America’s oldest European settlements. It is frequently ranked as a top small town to visit due to its charm, history and beauty. At the center of town, you’ll find a quaint village atmosphere, with unique shops, a grocery store, the town wharf, and sumptuous local cuisine. From golf and tennis, to sailing and kayaking, exploring Dyce Head Lighthouse, visiting a historic museum, seaside dining in the salt air, or attending a concert on the town pier, visitors of all ages will have a memorable family vacation or private getaway. We have had the distinct pleasure of hosting families from Paris Fr., Hong Kong, Australia, as well as numerous states here in the U.S.

As you enter the house on the main floor off the sun porch, the house is open concept with hardwood floors, a cathedral ceiling, a lovely white kitchen with granite counter tops, a spacious dining area which seats 8, a 3/4 bathroom with a large shower, a comfortable living room with a big sectional couch (perfect for an afternoon nap or a movie night with the family) and multiple windows on the water side to catch those breathtaking sunsets Castine is known for. Up the stairs in the center of the main floor lies the third floor balcony master bedroom, which has two queen sized beds, a full bath (with bathtub and shower combo) two dressers and a sitting area. This floor overlooks the living room space below, and features a bank of windows with stunning views of Penobscot Bay.

Down the stairs to the lower level of this home you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bath ( bathtub and shower combo) and a laundry room. One bedroom has a full sized bed, a large closet and a dresser and the second bedroom has a queen sized bed, a large closet and a dresser. Both bedrooms have large picture windows on the water side. This lower level opens onto the huge front lawn ( facing the ocean ) for games, dining, relaxing and family activities. A gas grill (gas provided) and patio set are in this area for your dining pleasure. We provide 2 cornhole boards, a fire pit, and kayaks for our guests.

Off the main floor, there are three separate doors leading to a large wraparound deck on the water side, perfect for dining and relaxing. At one end of this deck is an enclosed three season glass sunroom with comfortable seating so you can relax and enjoy the sunset. The circular driveway will hold five cars, and inside the garage are two bikes for touring Castine. There is a generator available if needed.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, we're Ali and Mike Cormier! This home was purchased by our parents as a summer home in 1978, and has remained in the family as a vacation home and VRBO rental since 2015.
We love sharing the beauty of Castine and our home with travelers from near and far, and we're confident that you will fall in love with the town of Castine and surrounding areas just like we did.
We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

Built in 1973, the original owner/builders from Cape Cod were all about details. The house was positioned facing slightly South, to afford spectacular sunsets all year long across our front windows. The neighborhood is on a private dirt road, and very quiet, although only a 5 minute drive from Main St in downtown Castine. Our home boasts cathedral ceilings, oil baseboard heating and air conditioning on the main levels and in the bedrooms. The large wrap around porch and sunroom are the perfect places to enjoy the sunset, listen to the waves or have your morning coffee.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet with exceptional views across Wadsworth Cove and Penobscot Bay, Islesboro Island and Camden Hills in background. Flowering trees and shrubs, wild roses, geese , sea ducks, and deer families grazing on the lawns of a nearby estate. Unique public beach at end of road, safe swimming/boating/ beach-combing.
Our home in Castine is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.
