A Beachfront Cottage for Two!
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Jonesport, this lovely cottage for £131 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Welcome artists, nature lovers and those seeking solitude! In the quaint fishing village of Jonesport Maine, there lies one of the only white sand beaches in Downeast Maine, Sandy River Beach. In this eclectic, somewhat primitive cottage, you can witness the most beautiful sunrises on one of the most eastern points of the United States, you can listen to the seagulls cry and the squeal of laughter on the beach. You can also enjoy the late afternoon summer sun as you enjoy your cocktail while your toes are in the sand. And you can fall asleep in the evening listening to the surf and feeling the rhythm of its heart. The Sweet Pea cottage is a 1 bedroom, 3/4 bath oceanfront retreat. You will be as cozy as two peas in a pod! Simple amenities include gas stove/oven and space heater, fridge, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, small screen for DVD player, picnic table and WIFI. The bedroom has a queen size bed. Bathroom has shower stall...a longer shower proves you may have a very refreshing cool finish! There are a few board games to play and rocking chairs to read in. The Sweet Pea is nestled between spruce trees and has its own beach access through the sweet peas and dune grass. The white sand greets you 20' feet from your door. Simple pleasures abound for the artist, the writer/reader or anyone who wants to escape the chaos of everyday life and enjoy the reflective and refreshing Downeast environment. You may visit the local lobster wharfs for your dinner or visit Beals Island for your steamers and mussels. The sweet crabmeat is my favorite! On days off the beach you may enjoy the Downeast Institute of Marine Biology, hike the trails of the Nature Conservancy of Great Wass Island, kayak to neighboring islands to observe bald eagles, loons and seals, and within an hour you can visit Bar Harbor or the most eastern point of the United States. You can even bring your fishing gear and golf clubs, catch a theatrical performance at the University of Maine in Machias or listen to visiting musicians perform in the Peabody Memorial Library. Jonesport, America (the only Jonesport in America!) is a small fishing village which includes a grocery, two convenience stores/gas stations, two full service banks, multiple churches, medical center, gift shops, a take out and pizza shop, hardware, lumber yard, marina and campground. The Sweet Pea Cottage continues to be 'improved' every year. 2019 includes are a drilled well, improved driveway. 2020 a new roof and updates in bedroom and bath. Owners are often next door for any needed assistance. Please come share the unique experience of beach living with us! It is simple, quiet and simply beautiful!

This little Sweet Pea cottage is a gem along Maine's Bold Coast. The cottage is meticulously maintained with all attention to detail, coziness, and cleanliness. The owners are attentive, available and just kind folks who love the coast. The very best times we had at Sweet Pea were watching the ebb and flow of the tides and the fog, seeing the fog lift to provide wicked sunshine, and searching for sea glass on Sandy Beach. Our time at Sweet Pea was just as the pictures present and even better. We loved exploring the surrounding townships of Jonesport and talking with the people who live and love everything Maine. Thank you and we'd love to be quests again.

We enjoyed our stay, it is a nice place right on the water. Only thing that I was not 100% satisfied with was the checkout time. I think 9am is a little early for a checkout time.

This cottage was absolutely adorable, it had everything we needed. The view was perfect sitting in the living room with the ocean at our front door. We will definitely be back again.

The Sweetest Cottage in Maine
We continue to return to this gem of a property located on a sandy beach with amazing views of the ocean and a few islands. As you cross the short path to the sea you will see wild sweet pea flowers among the sea grass. As you walk along the beach from end to end you will see nature at it’s best and a few friendly faces too!

Glorious ocean view
Location is amazing- 180 degree views of the ocean with spectacular sunrises. Dawn has put in a million little touches- power strips in the bedroom, more than one dish towel, the only place we've stayed where there was actually a sharp knife- all the little things that make life easier. House is right on the beach, which made beach walks so easy. Loved our time here.

Maine beach shanty
We had a lovely time in this amazing spot! We loved exploring Maine (we hiked in Acadia and other spots of the Bold Coast) and then coming back to the little shanty to soak up the beach, which was quiet and gorgeous. It is a very rural area, which we loved, good for those who want to be closer to nature than lots of action and people. The shanty has a few quirks that come with an older place, but the spot it is in more than makes up for them. Hosts were easy to reach and helpful.

This welcoming quaint beach cottage was exactly what one thinks of when they want to get away from everything and find peace and solace, even if it’s only for a few days. It is set in a picturesque bay where the sunrise greets you and moonrise settles you in for the evening. Wildlife abounds in this naturally kept beachfront. The owners are very friendly, easy to talk to and very accommodating. We enjoyed our time with them and look forward to returning.

A lovely week at Sweat Pea
My wife and I loved our stay at Sweat Pea. A perfect location with views of Roque Island. Crashing waves lulled us to sleep. We were able to Jew eagles majestically soaring the sky and perched on the pine trees on gull island Communication with our Dawn was excellent.

A most gentile and peaceful place
This is my 2nd summer staying in Sweet Pea. For me it is a little gem. Nice cabin right on the ocean called Sandy River Beach. Very clean, comfortable place to unwind. Has the most special sunrises. Gazing at the stars at night is mesmerizing for someone who lives in the big city. Close to a lot to explore in the Down East portion of Maine. Truly a special place. Jim Paulson
