Anywhere here you will enjoy the feeling of being on a peninsula on the coast of Maine. Both beaches are private and easily accessible, either a lightly sloped walk down a grassy path to a sand beach for swimming or an 8-step stairway down to a rocky beach to sit and gaze at the Seven Island view. You can launch a boat at the marina a mile down the road and cruise around the coast or easily pull a canoe or kayak down to the shore directly in front of the house. There is nice kayaking and canoeing all around the vicinity. The house is great for a husband and wife private getaway or a retreat for vacationers wanting a quiet and scenic place to forget their worries and just relax. Children will love the diverse collection of shells, beach-glass and things to find while beach-combing at low tide. This house accommodates 4 comfortably.

The house is 1½ hours east of Bangor and the Bangor International Airport. 4½ hours northeast of Portland, 5½ hours from Boston and 10½ hours from New York City. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor is a one hour drive down the coast. What's nearby? Petit Manan is worth seeing as is Milbridge's own McClellan Park. Schoodic Point and Acadia National Park. Also Campobello Island, New Brunswick (FDR's summer home) is within an hour and a half, as is the Bold coast up to Quoddy Head the easternmost lighthouse in the US. Lobsters and clams are readily available in Milbridge (lobster and clam pots provided with cottage). This is one of the largest wild blueberry producing areas in the world, so there are plenty of berries available nearby during the season (late July through August); berry picking is permitted at Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge in season. Activities in this part of Maine include hiking the Petit Manan Coastal Wildlife Refuge trails, visiting the pink granite shores at McClellan Park in Milbridge, exploring the crashing surf at Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor, hiking the Bold Coast up in Cutler, visiting the wonderful Milbridge historical society museum and, of course, checking out the tourist attractions in Bar Harbor.

The description of the property is spot on. The photos are an excellent representation. You feel embraced by all of the pictures and memorabilia that immerse you in this family’s seaside treasure that spans at least four generations of Maine coastal history. The place was larger than we imagined with an amazing den and sunroom. The two of us were able to spread out and read, write, puzzle, and relax. Four would be very comfortable here. There is rocky seaside to the east and to the south and on the west look for the “Beach Path” sign that leads to a long, wide, sandy beach. Kitchen was well-stocked and even included everything needed for a lobster feast. Very clean and communication was instant and very friendly. The only minor drawback was the wifi. (Though chances are you’re here to relax—not use the internet!) I had a little writing stuff to work on so fortunately there was a router and a hotspot so we had two sources to enhance bandwidth. It was okay for writing, research, and surfing, but each source was only 2-4 mbps so streaming was limited and glitched. I don’t think you could count on it for virtual meetings. Aside from that it was probably one of the very best vacation rentals in our 40+ years of using BnBs and vacation rentals.

The location is beautiful view of the ocean. It was a little ways from the attractions we were visiting but we knew that when we signed up. It had all the amenities we needed.

We are long time VRBO home renters, and this home by far was one of the cleanest and most inviting homes we have stayed in. The home owners have everything that is needed for a comfortable stay. From the rocking chairs in the library where we enjoyed morning coffee and overlooked the water to the fire pit in the evening. The kitchen was fully stocked. All towels and linens provided. The home was close to town and a short drive to many beautiful hiking trails. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. Would definitely love to visit again!

We had a great time staying at this property. It has an amazing location with views of the ocean on all 3 sides and great yard space and sandy beaches within a short walking distance. We stayed a week and explored the coast all the way from Acadia to Machias. The beaches at the house and Schoodic Point were the highlights of our trip...beautiful and relaxing. The house was clean and well stocked. The owner and caretaker were both responsive and helpful. We would definitely go back.
