Vacation Rental Description

Sorry, but we are completely booked now through September 2008.  Please inquire for 2009 season, or 
for an off-season Vacation. 

Friendship/Waldoboro is situated in mid-coast Maine, 15 miles south of Rockland, 66 miles northeast 
of Portland and 28 miles southeast of Augusta. 

This expansive year-round oceanfront guest house on Back Cove (off the Waldoboro/Friendship coast) 
has sweeping views of Muscongus Bay and the islands, a private pier, and large decks.  There is a 
deep-water mooring in front of the pier for your sailboat.   The house boasts six spacious bedrooms 
and four baths. There are 4500 square feet and three levels of living space/bedrooms/baths to give 
everyone some privacy. Don't you hate to be crowded like a sardine on your "vacation"? 

The first floor master bedroom has panoramic views of the sea, queen size bed, large closets, and a 
small sitting area. A Second bedroom on the first floor has a double bed, and two windows 
overlooking the pine forests. There is a full bath with sunny windows, European bidet, fully 
equipped kitchen, large glass fronted living room with wood burning stove, a separate study and 
another half-bath off the kitchen.
 
A Private Master Bedroom suite consisting of bedroom, living area and stone fireplace is situated 
upstairs over the garage.  The living area opens onto a private balcony facing the ocean. Queen size 
bed, full bath with steam shower and restful Jacuzzi tub. Enjoy a cocktail from the wet bar, and 
converse in cozy couches and down chairs in front of  the stone fireplace with a blazing fire.  

On the lower level, you will find ceramic tiled floors and sliding French doors leading out to the 
beach and pier.  There are two bedrooms with double hung windows framing beautiful views of the sea, 
one with a full-sized beds, and the other with a queen-sized bed. A third bedroom has two twin beds 
and pine paneled walls. There is a full bath, and a large den for watching TV, DVD, reading, or 
playing board games on this level. 

You have found it all: A restful, waterfront Maine vacation with a touch of luxury. All bedrooms are 
outfitted with very comfortable mattresses (honest), down pillows and comforters, and quilted 
bedspreads.  Oriental rugs, hand hooked rugs and Maine antiques are found throughout the home.  We 
provide all linens and towels, including beach towels, dish towels, even cloth napkins for dinner.  
The windows are operable so you can catch the ocean breezes inside, or while relaxing on the 
spacious 
deck overlooking the sea. There are oak hardwood floors throughout, with ceiling fans in most rooms. 
Washer and dryer on first floor. 

Kayak out to the islands, collect mussels and 
periwinkles from the beach, Dig for clams at low tide, Paint a sea scape en-plein-air (an easel and 
wooden palette await you). Read a novel (or write one) on the spacious deck in comfortable patio 
furniture.  You'll wake to the sound of the local lobster men who with their colourful boats dot the 
harbour every morning. Row out to them and buy lobster fresh  from the traps. There is a deep 
lobster 
pot in the cupboard for you to steam them up in. With melted butter and fresh squeezed lemon juice, 
lobster simply doesn’t get any better.  At sunset, enjoy cocktails on the pier while you watch the 
seals cavort and the sailboats head for their moorings. 
     
Steamed Periwinkles from my childhood in New England
Ingredients:
1/2 c. salted water
1/4 tsp. thyme
1-3 cloves garlic, mashed
1/2 c. vegetable bouillon or dry white wine
4 dozen well-scrubbed periwinkles
4 tbsp. butter 
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions:
Rinse the periwinkles thoroughly; put all ingredients in pot and bring to a boil; add periwinkles 
and 
steam until they can be easily extracted from the shell, about 4 minutes. Serve on your best tea 
china with hat pins, lemon wedges and melted butter.

Fully equipped kitchen.
     
We limit the number of guests to no more than eight people in order to preserve the privacy, 
comfort, 
peace and tranquility of the setting. We have set the boundaries for you, so that you can tell those 
in-laws to go get their own vacation house.  We value our vacations, and we are sure that you do 
too. 
You deserve to take a break and relax in this elegant home for a summer's week.  Bring your family, 
best friends, venerable parents, or take your honey for a romantic get away. This is our own 
vacation home, and we love our home and our quiet neighbors. 

This is a no smoking, no pet house.
