About this property
The Captain's Cottage is nestled near the shore of the tidal Bagaduce River.
Take a quick jaunt(approx 5 min walk), a wooded path into a meadow that overlooks the Bagaduce South Bay. Enjoy the warmth of the rocks as you lounge by the water and listen to the wind as Mother Nature intended. Listen to the seals play and watch them as they bask in the sun at low tide (did you know the seals snort?) Explore the tide pools, where muscles, lobster, starfish, and crabs like to lounge. Rock in the hammock, let the day pass by with a good book and feel the ocean breeze. Fire orange sunsets, with campfires, lobster bakes, and toasted marshmallows to follow, are the perfect way to end a summer day at this adventurous cottage. Down by the shore is the ideal spot to launch a kayak- paddle out and explore the islands and the shoreline of the Bagaduce River. Take a trip upstream to the reversing falls and eat at the Bagaduce Lunch. Paddle to the historic waterfront of Castine.
Our cabin was built in 2013 for comfort and family relaxation. We have named it “The Captain's Cottage” in honor of our son, who attended the Maine Maritime Academy. The cottage has a quaint New England feel. Escape the noise and bustle of the city and feel time slow down on the shore. Enjoy every second of the beautiful landscape and the comfort of this home.
Historic Castine is only 5.7 miles away! Blue Hill is 11.6 miles away, or you can visit Acadia National Park, which is under one hour away.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kathleen
My husband and I live in southern Maine, and we love to share this amazing place that we bought while our son was at MMA.
Why they chose this property
It was all about the water! If you love the ocean you’ll know why we picked this beautiful spot by the water after you walk to the shore!
What makes this property unique
The Captain's Cottage is on 9 acres. There is also a main house on the same property which is vacant during the summer. There is a short walk to the water down a beautiful path. Its about a 5 min walk.
