About this property

This recently constructed cape style home adjacent to Walter's commercial wharf with magnificent pristine, open ocean views, numerous islands including Petit Manan with working light house operating today. Relax and enjoy the panoramic view from the deck of your home of colorful buoys bobbing in the sparkle of the bay. Enjoy the sound of the shore and migratory ducks and shore birds. In the evening, catch a glimpse of the Petit Manan Lighthouse light. The experience of the quaint working harbor catching seasonal fish and lobster is all a stones throw away from you and your family as you vacation.

This newly constructed home stated in white window and ash wood with hard ash wood floors throughout includes 3 bedrooms, (2 bedrooms upstairs, 1 down) 2 baths, (1 up, 1 down), a full size kitchen featuring custom built ash cabinets, granite counter tops and state of the art high end appliances to accommodate all your culinary needs. The full size porch invites you to experience the sounds, sights and smells of the kelp and salty air first hand.
A home equipped with all the creature comforts one would need.

Working water front of the area abounds with local history and tales of the sea, the lore of adventure that continue even today and the first hand experience and culture that has been in existence here for three generations!

Located out the front door on Petit Manan Point itself is Petit Manan Point Wildlife Refuge, Downeast Conservatory's Pigeon Hill Preserve, a quiet quaint Chapel, All Souls by the Sea, built in the 30's open to guests and visitors in July and August.

A short 15 minute drive away is the one time clipper ship building town of Milbridge where you will find old sea captain homes built by the very same people who designed the great clipper ships of the area. Along with a well stocked food market that has everything you need, Milbridge has gift shops, restaurants, a number of churches, medical support, a drug store, post office, public offices, a library, and museum featuring among other things the ship building industry of the area.

A few recommendations include authentic Mexican food and Maine's number one ice cream Gifford's ice cream.

Steuben in Fall

Secluded, peaceful, quiet and away from civilization. Be prepared to drive to get into a town with basic supplies. The fall colors were absolutely stunning. Many deer and a resident porcupine were spotted. We enjoyed our stay.

The VBRO was clean and great view of the ocean.

The location was really nice and overlooked the ocean. We took a short drive to the animal refuge and hiked the trail. Totally enjoyed it and one of the best things we did. Also, time fell short but wish we would have also walked the 2 trails that are across for the Cemetary.

Steuben’s best kept secret!

We will definitely be returning to this property! It was everything we expected plus everything we could only dream of. This is a gem of a property. The view amazed us. This place was Maine to its fullest! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks so much to the Strout family for fulfilling my dreams of a quintessential Coastal Maine vacation.

Real Coastal Maine!

We could not have found a better place to experience the “real” coastal Maine. The house itself was cozy and well-appointed, with comfy beds, a terrific cook’s kitchen and a fabulous covered porch overlooking the water and – importantly – the Strout’s lobster boat and dock right across the street! We enjoyed a day in Bar Harbor – about an hour away – but also had time to explore some of the charming and less crowded hamlets nearby (Winter Harbor was a favorite). The sight of the sun rising over Petit Manan Bay, the moonlight in the evening, and the fog rolling in and out along with the tides created some unforgettable viewing. We also had a chance to explore the Wildlife Refuge only a few hundred yards from the house. By far our favorite part was connecting with Brian, who called us to come across the street when the catch was in so we could pick out our lobsters for an incredible meal. We had no luck using the satellite TV service, but we didn't really mind - we were able to log in to our own apps on the smart TV. Our stay in Steuben was a wonderful experience – one we will be happy to repeat!

Disappointed

Wi-Fi was extremely slow or useless. Description of property was misleading for the high cost which made us disappointed. A call to the owner for a simple problem was dismissed without satisfaction. Considering the high cost of the property the expectations of amenities were not met. No private bathrooms.

Trip to Maine

The property was really nice and taken care of. It had eveything you would need to stay there. The house is big enough for several people and is dog friendly. The views are wonderful there as well. Lots of wildlife deer turkey's and ect. Also not far from Acardia National Park and Bar Harbor. There are plenty of things to do and see.

Great quite getaway

The property is very well taken care of and very spacious. Several places to sit and relax while listening to the water. There is not AC but we didn’t miss it. We opened all the windows and were comfortable. People in this area are quiet and friendly. Would recommend as we would stay again. Make sure you have everything you need before you get to the house. No stores near by for a quick trip.

Aleady thinking of the next time.

We could not have asked for a better homebase for our first trip to Maine. We were looking for a house with updated accommodations but off the beaten path and we found it. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms are all clean and new looking with high end appliances and countertops. The kitchen has 98% of the hardware you willl need. Our family of four felt very comfortable with the size of the house and the bedroom arrangements. A group of 6 could be equally comfortable. The internet service is fine for maintaining email contact, but don’t expect four people to be streaming videos at the same time. It gave us a great chance to play games/cards which was exactly what we hoped for…less screen time. The location of the house is perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The shoreline across the street offers lots of beachcombing. A short drive gets you to great hiking trails right on Pigeon Hill Road and a 1+ hour drive gets you to Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, and the main section of Acadia. My biggest words of advice are to not overlook the hiking offered close by in the Pigeon Hill Preserve and the Maine Coastal Islands Wildlife Refuge. Both are quiet areas with little foot traffic but offer so many great viewing experiences. Brian Strout is the lobster fisherman across the street. We ate our share of lobster directly from his boat. He was very accommodating and also willing to answer any questions. Thanks to the Strout family for providing the home for our memorable trip.

Cozy and peaceful

Just LOVED this VRBO. The kitchen was fabulous. We loved the view out the front windows. The set up was great for one family to be upstairs and the other down for sleeping.. We enjoyed our fresh lobster dinner from the catch that was hauled that day from the wharf that is located across the street. Brian, the lobsterfisherman was delightful. We also enjoyed visiting Chipman's Wharf. We recommend the Sea Princess and Lul Lu Lobster Cruises Everything about the place was excelllent. HOPE to RETURN really soon..

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Strout

Walter was an authentic third generation fisherman who was born and raised in the area locally.
He loved his heritage and the water. He grew up fishing with his dad beginning at the ripe old age of four.
Walter had personal and historical stories of the time and area that he would weave and share with you as he prepped for another day doing what he has done all his life; making a living from the sea!

Sadly, Walter passed in August, 2017 after a brief illness. His legacy lives on with his middle son using and operating his fishing wharf across the street from Walter's home. His eldest and youngest son are continuing to share the house with all those who wish to experience the beauty of Downeast Maine.

Why they chose this property

Walter came by this property as it was handed down from his grandfather to his dad and from his dad to him. With a strong and steely wharf and decades of fishing/lobster gear and boats, Walter is keeping the tradition going for generations to come. His son Brian is now the owner/operator of the wharf. You will see his boat, the "Sunshine Chalet" coming and going throughout the days.

What makes this property unique

With the smell of the sea, unimaginable views, and generations of livelihood running through his veins, Walter could not imagine any other place on earth he would rather be. "Paradise exists, and I've found it right here in my quiet little village."
