With a bedroom and separate bathroom on both the upper and lower floors, you'll have a restful night's sleep and privacy. Each bedroom has a queen bed, each full bathroom has a shower, all fresh linens and towels provided. Relax in either the upper or the lower cozy living rooms, they both have a view of the water.

During the summer sit on the dock and watch the boats go by or rent a kayak and take a paddle to explore. If you want to adventure away from the house Brunswick, Freeport and Bath offer wonderful museums, plays, countless food options, outlet shopping, including L.L.Bean or go golfing at one of our 4 local golf courses (seasonal).

Best ME Vacation Rental!

My family and I have rented homes on lakes/ocean in ME over the past several years and this was by the far the best house we’ve stayed at. Clean, modern, beautiful views, spacious. Heating worked perfectly and all kitchen necessities allowed us to easily cook meals. Would absolutely come back again - even in winter/spring!

Sister Trip

We three sisters stayed for a week. It was the perfect location to be back from the midwest and immersed into the Atlantic Ocean culture again from our childhoods. The view is more than spectacular and the dock access to the ocean was more than we had even hoped for. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to all who love nature!

Fabulous, Peaceful retreat on the water!

The house was gorgeous and exactly as advertised. Wonderful sunrises every single morning and peaceful, inspiring views from a gorgeous deck. The owners provided a thoughtful welcome basket on arrival which was very kind! Bathrooms were lovely! We had a fantastic stay. Even stacking the dishwasher was fabulous given the 360 degree water views!
