Comfortable, quiet island home for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation
About this house rental
Nestled in Edgecomb, this charming house for $234 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Comfortable, open 1500 s.f. home on the quiet, north end of Westport Island near Wiscasset, "The Prettiest Village in Maine". Enjoy the day's first cup of coffee from the raised deck while watching the sun rise over the glistening waters of the Sheepscott River. Listen to the whispering pines, lobster boats tending traps and the call of seabirds. Relax on the deck, new 10' x 20' float or take a walk to the nearby lobster coop and carry back dinner. The island has three preserves for hiking and picnicking. You're just a few minutes from coastal Route 1 where you can rent kayaks and canoes, shop for groceries, play at Monkey See, Monkey Do (look it up), visit Bath and Boothbay Harbor, Maine Maritime Museum, eat at any one of several highly-reviewed, nearby restaurants. It's a great spot to launch a day trip to Freeport and Camden. Fish, swim or put in your kayak or canoe from the new dock (FYI - dock float sits on “mud” at dead low tide for a total of about three hours daily - 1.5 hours per low tide). The hillside leading to the dock is steep, but steps are broad with a bench on a platform half way up/down or two. Settle in and enjoy the amenities: wifi, smart tv, large-capacity washer and dryer, fully-stocked newly remodeled kitchen, linens, hair dryer, iron and board, alarm clock, showers and a tub, dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven, gas grill and coffee maker. The master bedroom has its own bathroom and door that leads out to a secluded, seashore garden with Adirondack chairs. The private and spacious loft sleeps two with seating for reading and relaxing. Another first-floor bedroom also sleeps two. Enjoy riverviews while you dine - rain or shine - from the deck or dining room. There is a well-established and wide variety of shrubs and flowers around the house and here and there on the hillside. Keep an eye out for fox, bald and golden eagles, osprey and seals. Watch the nine foot tides come and go. Westport Isle of View has much to offer. Come see for yourself. Please note: Blink smart cameras are positioned to provide surveillance views of driveway approach and waterside main deck/living room door. These are only activated before guests arrive and after check out.

This wonderful home is half cabin/half summer home, possessing both charm and modern amenities. It is located on a very quiet river, perfect for relaxation, yet an hour away from Portland and Rockland/Camden. The best part of the stay are the owners Faith and Tim who are always available only when you need them.

Nice, comfortable house. We all enjoyed our stay very much. We took day trips to Boothbay Harbour, Rockland, Camden, and Augusta. Several nice restaurants even allowed dogs so we could bring our pup with us. The house was well appointed, we really lacked nothing. The house was also very tidy. Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views from the deck. Would definitely recommend.

This is a comfortable and well-appointed home, with plenty of room for nearby family to come for a meal. The location is wooded, quiet and scenic, with lobster boats on the river and occasionally a deer in the yard. The towns of Wiscasset, Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, and Bath are within easy reach, and grocery stores, restaurants and attractions are conveniently close. Contact with the owner was easy through Vrbo.

We loved staying in this beautiful home - and the view was breathtaking. They provided us a very comfortable visit with all of the things we needed and more! It was also easy to get to so many of our favorite Maine spots - and we got to explore the beautiful island as well. We saw deer, lots of birds and harbor seals. Thank you so much - we loved our time in your beautiful home.

What a great place—so many windows overlooking the water! My husband enjoyed fishing off the dock and caught a striper! The owners were very accommodating. Everything you could need in a rental and in such a beautiful setting.

Perfect Get Away
The house was perfect for a peaceful getaway that gave us the feeling of being in nature while also having all the welcomed amenities of this amazing house.
The location is perfect. A walk away from a Lobster Co-Op and a short drive to Wiscasset which is a great little town. It's the perfect mix of feeling remote/removed but close enough to grab anything you may need and or want.
The hosts were communicative and really nice. In short, it was great.

Beautiful location, house is clean and welcoming. So nice to sit on the deck and enjoy the views of the river and watch the boats pass by. We brought our own kayak and saw seals and lots of birds. Peaceful vacation away from the hassle of city life. Owner was very accommodating and thoughtful. Hope to return next summer.

The owners are very nice, the location is great, and the scenery is even better. The traffic on Route 1 can be a hassle, but Monstsweag Bay and the Sheepscot River are wonderful places to kayak – and a source of delicious lobsters -- so why leave?

Beautiful location on the Sheepscot River
The house was bigger than it looks in the pictures. Everything we needed was there, including sheets and towels. We stayed for a week and spent countless hours watching the river from the dock. The tides change dramatically with a 10 foot height difference between low and high. We saw seals, ospreys, cormorants, ducks, wrymouths (an eel-like fish we saw in the mud at low tide), deer, and fox. There is a nature preserve just a short walk down the road where you can see both rivers, and rocks exposed at low tide were covered with seals. The only downside was that there lots of mosquitoes and no-see-ums so bring long sleeves (with a hood is helpful) and pants if you're going to sit outside. The house has tons of windows so we were always comfortable with a nice breeze. We stayed in July and the days were hot but the nights cooled off quite a bit. Tim was available by phone if we needed anything (which we didn't) and was very generous, offering to let us stay a day later and allowed us to bring our dog. We had a very peaceful and relaxing week. Some nearby places we visited and loved were Popham beach, Reid State Park, Boothbay harbor, Bath, Sewell pond, and a ropes course called Monkey C Monkey Do. The Montsweag Farm restaurant was excellent and Treats bakery in Wiscasset. We would definitely stay here again!

What A Find!
Very comfortable and well-equipped home in a beautiful location. Owners Tim and Faith have clearly responded to suggestions from previous reviewers and were great to work with from start to finish. Don't miss the opportunity for fresh-off-the-boat bargain-price lobsters at the nearby lobsterman's co-op!

The house is very beautiful and comfortable. The view is magnificent. Everything was what we expect.
We are definitely will recommend to our friends and family.

Riverfront nice
Beautiful location, roomy and quiet. Multiple decks with partial River views. Love the Lobster co-op nearby. Master is described as King but it's 2 twins that must be pushed together. 2nd BR is a twin and 3rd is 2 twins. Nice for multiple guests but not for a couples-Easy fix and the owner Tim is so nice I'm betting he will address this soon. Baths are very small and need updating but work fine. Had dock with nice steps down but is only usable at high tide. No outdoor grill-again owner has likely added this. Nice mudroom entry and parking for 2 vehicles. Nearby shopping, activities and good eats with numerous towns to explore. Will return.
