EcoParadise in Kittery Point in Kittery Point

This retreat borders the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in the quiet and historic town of Kittery Point, 70 minutes north of Boston. Over an architect's office, the sunny apartment features radiant floors, washer/drier, woodstove, air conditioning and borders the salt marsh.

The architect-designed cottage was constructed nine years ago with planned energy and resource efficiency. It sleeps up to 6 with entry vestibule, 2 large bedrooms, living/dining with woodstove, kitchen, and stone tile floor bathroom with shower, no tub. Kitchen has electric range, microwave, toaster oven, coffeemaker and refrigerator. Entry has hooks and shelves. Weber charcoal grill included. Owners' house is across the courtyard. Sheets and bath towels are included (not beach towels). Wireless internet network, and cable television are included. Cell phone reception is intermittent.

Launch your kayak from the backyard and paddle to the ocean at Brave Boat Harbor. Watch the herons, hawks, hummingbirds, kingfishers, and occasional moose from your window. Stripers are often running in the harbor and you might see a big Gray Seal. There are beautiful walks on abandoned roads and rail lines with ocean beaches less than 3 miles away. Up the driveway is Brave Boat Harbor Road, known as one of the premier bicycling routes in New England. The great restaurants and historic sites of Portsmouth, New Hampshire are only seven miles away. There are many art galleries and summer theater venues close by.
