Heron Oaks/Rutherford Island

Bright Coastal Cottage with Panoramic Ocean Views

Escape to this contemporary seaside cottage perched above John's Bay on picturesque Rutherford Island in South Bristol. Just minutes from charming Christmas Cove, Coveside Restaurant, and Osier’s Wharf, this bright and airy retreat offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and modern comfort. A small rocky beach is also just a short walk away.

Step inside to an open-concept living space featuring soaring 25-foot cathedral ceilings and skylights that flood the home with natural light. Oversized windows and two sliding glass doors frame sweeping views of the ocean, creating a serene, light-filled atmosphere throughout. Warm pine tongue-and-groove paneling and wood floors add a cozy, rustic touch, while the wood-burning stove in the living room is perfect for cool Maine evenings.

The spacious main-floor primary suite includes a walk-in closet, laundry area, and full ensuite bath. Upstairs, a second large bedroom also features an ensuite bath and generous closet space—ideal for families or couples traveling together.

Outside, relax or dine on the expansive wraparound deck overlooking the bay, or wander down to explore the rocky shoreline and low-tide beach below. A swim float is also accessible for a refreshing dip or sunbathing on the water.
