About this cottage rental

Situated in Addison, this charming cottage for £98 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Castaway Cottage Picture a place where fresh seafood abounds. . . where you can step out the back door, enjoy the salty scent of sea, and pick fresh vegetables and flowers right from your own private garden overlooking the water. As you dine on this delicious fare, you will see unforgettable sunsets while savoring some of the freshest food on earth - harvested that very day. Imagine all this in the comfort of a cozy, romantic cottage where simple pleasures make time stand still. Simple pleasures like sitting on a new sofa, fresh coffee in hand, watching the morning tide come and go through the panoramic windows overlooking the harbor. Or a stroll down the shore road to see clam diggers out on the mud flats harvesting the clams you will eat later that day. Or a walk on the beach where the only sign of another person is the sea art left behind in the sand. Imagine having a lunch with you – crab meat sandwiches would be nice, and stopping along the beach to gaze out at the islands and ocean while sampling its fruits. A trip to the wharf to pick up the clams and to watch the lobster boats come in with their haul. Picture trying to choose between steamers and lobsters and deciding to have both! Back at Castaway Cottage the lobster pot awaits as well as all the accoutrements needed. Now that dinner is planned imagine cozying up in the lighthouse room for some afternoon reading. There's room for two on the built-in bench bed. Amazing how the sea air causes sleepiness - and enhances the appetite. Thank goodness for the clams AND lobster! Visualize heading out to the garden in the late afternoon sunshine, after a good rest, to select vegetables and flowers for tonight's table. Can you see a bottle of Seaglass Sauvignon Blanc with this meal? After sunset imagine lighting the pellet stove with push button ease, making up a tray of tea and dark chocolate laced with blueberries, cranberries and almonds and settling in to watch a favorite show on PBS. Picture yourself ascending the stairs and nestling into new beds with new quilts – washed and scented with the same fresh air you have enjoyed all day. The only thing you are likely to hear, apart from the light sound of waves lapping on the shore, will be the early morning bahing of some sheep at a farmhouse two hundred yards away, or the light rumbling of the lobster fishermen headed for the wharf to catch your next dinner of lobster. A stay at Castaway brings rest, relaxation and comfort. Just read the reviews. We even have a housekeeper who keeps the place spotless. Her name is Mrs. Hughes. *********************** This charming ocean side cottage overlooking Eastern Harbor has clear water views and easy access to the water's edge for boat launching or beach combing via a 60 yard shore road. Located in an isolated fishing village, the cottage is only ninety minutes northeast of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and thirty minutes southwest of Machias. The cottage has delightful gardens stocked with shasta daisies, rose campions and pansies (to name a few). There is garden furniture on the lawn overlooking the flowerbeds and the ocean. Equipped with all modern conveniences (oil central heating, washer, dryer, flat screen TV, microwave, coffee maker and blender) the cottage is very comfortable. It It sleeps from two to five. Sleeping Arrangements: There is a master bedroom upstairs with two twin beds which are pushed together for greater coziness, there's a built-in bed in the lighthouse room downstairs, as well as new sofa bed in the sitting room. Small pets may be allowed - please ask owners.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The location is peaceful and quiet, and everything was clean and just as pictured. Just a note - if you have mobility issues, accessing the upstairs bedroom may be difficult for you as using the staircase involves some bending and twisting. It was fine for us 60-somethings with just slightly creaky joints!

Beautiful, quaint location off the beaten path. Loved the location for convenient access to points north of bar harbor. Beautiful stars including milkyway. Great seafood locally. Host provided detailed list of restaurants and places to purchase seafood. And excellent instructions for appliances and pellet stove. Clean, well stocked, supermarket nearby for groceries. Highly recommend and would love to visit again.

This cute little cottage has everything you could need to make your stay comfortable and peaceful. Even though it rained more than half the week I was there, I found myself enjoying sitting in front of the picture windows and watching the tides, the fog, the gulls, the geese, the hummingbirds and the eagles soaring. What a special spot this is! My soul was soothed after a very stressful year and this was the perfect place to get rejuvenated. The couple days of sunshine I was graced with were spent out by the garden just relaxing. The garden is full of different veggies and flowers, so I did help myself to a some of the bounty, thank you Alan and Brenda! The owners are very kind and made sure that I was safe once I left the cottage during Hurricane Lee which just happened to arrive the day my week had ended. What an exciting experience that was! All is well and I am very happy that I stayed at this wonderful cottage by the sea.

The cottage was perfect for me. I wanted a place that was quiet, and a good place to explore Downeast Maine, and I found it. I wanted a place where I could bike, hike, and paddle, and it was all very close by. The neighbors were very friendly, the road was quiet, and the cottage was well furnished with what I needed. I could have asked for more.
