This Maine coastal house has a million dollar view, with a tide pool next to the deck that fills and empties over and over, each incoming tide a little different than what came before, and how would you even know that unless the long tidal pool was almost under your own deck? There is a long wood wharf out to a floating dock where my daughter went swimming every day, rain or shine. But the days were sunny, early to mid September, the sunsets lovely--with one spectacular evening where the sun set into the treeline of Orr Island across the bay in a long, luscious burst of the most intense golden light I have ever witnessed. We at first were wary of the long unpaved road out this narrow finger of land but considering the deep nights with a profound silence, we began to appreciate the 8 minutes of bumpy road, how it formed a natural barrier to the speedy life beyond. Brunswick or Bath are 20-30 minutes away, the Coast Maine Botanical Gardens over an hour. The house itself is clean and comfortable, not very up-to-date (Corell dishware) if you obsess about such things, but you have everything you need and the beds are wonderful. We stayed two weeks, and even that wasn't enough to get to know the tides, the birds, the variety of sunsets.
