About this property

Oceanfront - 3 Acre Private Beach Property, See Whales & Eagles from the Deck

The Maine House is a private ocean front sanctuary. Wildlife abounds in this pristine location. See bald eagles fly, seals on the beach, and whales breaching in the bay. Your private beach is reached by a winding path loaded with berries ripe for the picking. Dig for clams, hunt for sea glass and driftwood or just relax. Watch unbelievably beautiful sunrises and sunsets from every room overlooking Passamaquoddy Bay.
Located just a short drive (2 minutes) from the heart of Eastport's historic seaport. Come experience the real Maine, a working waterfront with many unique shops, galleries and restaurants. The Breakwater offers deep water fishing from the pier. Eastport is famous for it's festivals: July 4th celebration, the infamous Pirate Festival, Bay Day and the Eastport Salmon Festival. The Tides Institute and Museum showcases the history and culture of the Passamaquoddy region. Culinary options abound. Moose Island Bakery, a coffee shop, delightful candy store and 5 restaurants are just steps away. Fresh lobster can be found at Quoddy Bay Lobster, voted by Yankee Magazine as having the best lobster roll in New England. Whale watching and fishing expeditions are available in town. Enjoy the concerts of Summer Keys. Hiking and kayaking options are plentiful.
This charming home has been lovingly renovated from top to bottom to maximize unobstructed water views of Passamaquoddy Bay, Campobello Island and the Canadian Maritime Islands from every room. Outdoor living features dining for 8, seats for relaxing and a beach front fire pit ... great for those chilly Downeast nights. Eastport is known for spectacular sunrises that you will wake to from the comfort of your bedroom. The sumptuous master bedroom and bath are located on the main floor with unparalleled views of the ocean. Two additional bedrooms and baths offer privacy. A designated office and high speed DSL enables office check ins when work won’t wait. This is truly your home away from home.

Perfect For Us

Kudos to Host Mary!!! Excellent accommodations!!! Charming, comfy, convenient to restaurants and shopping in Eastport. The house is beautifully decorated with ample seating inside and outside on the spacious porch. Especially appreciated how well equipped the house was right down to tissues in every room! The kitchen had everything you could need or want. The selection of wine glasses was a perk.

June 2024

A lovely property with a homey feel and an amazing view. It was well stocked with everything we needed to cook family meals even a large pot for lobster boils. We appreciated it was only 3 steps to get in the house with bathroom grab bars for toilets and showers. There are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs but for family members with limited mobility, all the common areas are on the ground floor with just one small step down to get on the deck. We will definitely stay there again.

Gorgeous house on the water in Eastport

We really appreciated this spacious, bright, updated, charmingly-decorated home looking out at the water from a bluff in Eastport. Mary the owner was very communicative and the house was an excellent base to explore the last undeveloped area of the American eastern seaboard (and a beautiful area at that). There were only minor issues w/ the property: the pots/pans were in need of an update, some of the rooms were dark at night and could use more lamps, and the path to the beach was rather overgrown. But overall we were very pleased and we certainly hope to return!

Early Fall Week getaway

The property was as advertised - many house amenities - well stocked with kitchen, bath and outdoor activity supplies. Lovely view and we had great weather for the end of September. The owner, Mary, was very responsive. Late season is a little tricky if you want to dine out during the week. Not much opened other than on weekends. Plan ahead for that.

Absolutely lovely house!

Staying at Mary’s was such a delight! The house was perfect! We saw seals, pilot whales, eagles and of course numerous loons from the deck. And being able to catch a glimpse of the Old Sow whirlpool from the house was also such a treat! The house had everything we needed and more. We’re already planning on coming back next year!

Gorgeous coastal views

This house accommodated my family of 7 very comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked (an important detail for me) and the house even had a myriad of cookbooks to pursue while we relaxed. The view from the back deck is absolutely stunning! We spent almost all of our time out there. We watched a bald eagle fly over our heads every afternoon around 3pm and we watched seals play in the water. The kids loved walking the beach and finding sea urchins, sand dollars and crabs. We will certainly rent this wonderful house again!

An idyllic spot!

The Maine house is as close to perfect as you can get! It is in a beautiful location with outstanding views. Nothing is better than waking up in the morning, lifting up your head slightly, and looking at the sunrise over the water. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the birds and porpoises. Such a beautiful setting!! The house itself was well appointed and felt very homey. Anything we needed was provided. It was very comfortable. We thought The Maine House was easily the nicest vacation rental we've ever had. We will be back!!!

Whales, Eagles, and THE VIEW

Watching whales in the bay. Eagles soaring over the bay. A very private property with a view of the bay looking across into canada. The nearby town was charming, and the locals were nice. Wonderful art. The property owner was very helpful letting us know what there was. Loved every minute of the trip.

Lovely stay

We had a wonderful stay at Mary's lovely home. Her home was well-appointed and comfortable, and she was an incredibly attentive and responsive host. The sunrises and sunsets alone were worth the stay. And the star gazing was the best I've ever experienced (we saw Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, and the outline of the Milky Way with our bare eyes). It was a wonderful, relaxing experience and I would unquestionably recommend this property for anyone looking for a secluded, quiet getaway.

Gorgeous property and lovely home

This is a dream location and rental home. The property is large with a private beach - blueberries, raspberries and beautiful flowers line the walking paths. The tides make the beach very expansive during parts of the day - plenty of room for beach bonfires or picnics. The home is nicely laid out for a group - with great shared spaces and enough rooms for privacy. It is very clean and well appointed with supplies (pots / pans inside and beach clamming suppliers, etc. for use outdoors). We felt Mary had thought of everything whenever we wondered if there were extra beach chairs, towels, etc. We loved the decorations that incorporated many elements of nature and the area. Mary could not have been kinder with our questions - she provided great recommendations on the area and was very fast to address our emails / texts. You are close to town - grocery, restaurants and some activities. Make sure to bring bug spray (the bugs come out at night when you are enjoying stargazing on the great patio) and water shoes (it's a bit rocky if you are going to hunt for mussels and shells in the water). Our families loved our visit and hope to return!

Lovely property

We loved staying at this wonderful property on the water. The house is beautiful with beautiful gardens. Perfect place to quarantine because you never want to leave. Walked the beach everyday at low tide finding sand dollars and sea urchin shells. The house has everything you will need and the master bedroom was a treat. Much larger than the pictures show. It was also a great place for my husband to work since it was really quiet. Loved the sun porch as a bonus room. Mary was great to talk to and to get us settled. WiFi worked great even when there were a number of us using it. Phones also worked great through WiFi for conference calls etc. loved our choice of house in Maine and felt very lucky to be there.

We enjoyed our stay in this property very much. View is amazing and furnished very nicely. Wood stoves is great with plenty of firewood. Kitchen is fully furnished with about anything you need equipment wise. Master bedroom and bath are large and up to date. Only challenge there in Oct is trying to find which restaurants have closed or will be open and their hours. Overall very nice stay even with the Nor Easter that came through.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Davidson

Host profile image
I grew up in Maryland and our family drove to Maine every summer for vacation. Time spent there made for the best memories. I recently bought the house from my parents to keep it in the family.

Why they chose this property

My parents purchased the land in the 70s and then my dad built the house and crafted every cabinet inside. A labor of love that we would like to share with you.

What makes this property unique

The views are spectacular showcasing both sunrise and sunset. The bay has 25 foot tides- watch the amazing change from low to high tide, right from the house. Walking the beach, climbing the rocks, berry picking and clamming have always been my favorite pastimes while visiting.
