About this property

Charming Waterfront Cottage Just Steps from East Penobscot Bay

2 WEEK MINIMUM RENTAL.

Stay in a charming oceanfront cottage on 4 wooded acres just feet from the beach. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck as the sun rises over Penobscot Bay and the Altantic Ocean.

Stroll along the beach collecting shells and glass. Set up your easel and capture the tall ships, lobster boats and seals/eagles that are ever present.

Explore nature trails within a walking distance. Take a sailing or riding lesson. Explore the area in the kayaks we have. Go to the old fashioned ice cream parlor in Dark Harbor -- could be a daily event!!

Over 2400 sq ft in our waterfront cottage where you can get away from all the hustle and bustle and really relax.

Islesboro is a 20 minute ferry ride from Lincolnville, a few miles north of Camden. It is an unspoiled, quiet place. The nearby towns on the mainland are some of the prettiest on the coast.

The house has three bedrooms. Three double beds. There are 500 plus feet of private shore filled with fat mussels for picking at low tide.

The island is low-key. We do have many activities on the island in the summer -- public beaches, nature walks and hiking trails, community center activities, opportunities for sailing lessons, etc. -- time spent here is largely about relaxing, ambling around, thinking about what to make for dinner, wandering to the shore and back, looking at the sky and water. It is also an ideal place to do concentrated artistic or creative work.

“The island became a retreat for America’s elite in the early 1900’s. Back then it was industrialist Perry Coke Smith, actresses Christie Tiffany and Ruth Draper, Gibson Girl creator Charles Dana Gibson, and yacht designer Clinton Crane. Today it’s actors Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, Parker Stevenson (Hardy Boys), stockbroker and influential Republican contributor Richard Gilder, former presidential advisor Hodding Carter III and cell phone pioneer John McCaw Jr. (a former prep school classmate of Bill Gates — and occasional visits by Bill and Melinda).” Downeast Magazine, August 2006.

Islesboro is Maine at its best. Our cottage is at the center of all.

Solitude at it’s finest! And nice Island people too!
Overall we had an amazing time in the home and on Isleboro. The house could have been a little cleaner and is need of some home repairs. Otherwise, very tranquil and Alan was a great and responsive host.

Stunning views
House was cute and well stocked with essentials. The views were fantastic and it’s very quiet in islesboro! The house was larger than expected. The only complaint is that the house cleaners and lawn people were sub-par.

Beautiful peaceful retreat
My adult children and their spouses and I had the most wonderful two weeks in this house - we enjoyed watching the seals play in the harbor, the Bald Eagle perching on the rocks, and the kayaks in the bay. The morning sun on the ocean was glorious - shimmering like diamonds - and the well stocked kitchen was very functional for family meals and the ability to spread out in the three large bedrooms was perfect. The internet is excellent. Air conditioners were provided and never needed. The host was easily accessible and full of good advice. There is an excellent library on the island and nice trails. Residents are so friendly. We enjoyed the trip so much I bought a house on the island and plan to live there year round!

We will be back!
The property was cute as a minute and a classic Maine coast style / design with spectacular views of the bay. There was abundant wildlife including seals and eagles. Bring your water shoes; It's not a sandy island. With all that splendor it goes a long way to say that the best part of our stay was the warm, friendly people of Islesboro. We will be back!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We have vacationed in Maine for over 25 years and found this island cottage. We have spent many, many weeks here with our family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We like the quiet isolation of the island and not being isolated from the mainland.

What makes this property unique

It's a few steps to the beach. Pick mussels for dinner in the front 'yard' or put the kayak in and explore or fish for striped bass and mackerel -- never a bad day -- it doesn't get any better. Of course you could sit on the deck or move to the Adirondack chair to watch Tall Ships, lobster fishermen, seals, etc. while enjoying a favorite beverage.
