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 cocktailwhile 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 electric stove/oven and space heater, fridge, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, 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.

Please come share the unique experience of beach living with us!
It is simple, quiet and simply beautiful!

July and August have 7 night minimum stays.
May, June, September have 3 night minimum stays.
Thank you!

    Sweet Pea cottage is just perfect for two people. It was clean,the bed comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the view and area un beatable. The beach is perfect for walks and falling asleep to the sound of the surf is relaxing. The owner, Dawn, was quick to reply to any questions and greeted us the first day to see if we needed anything and answer any questions we had. The area is convenient to anywhere on the Bold Coast. We explored it all. There is helpful information in the cottage about nearby restaurants and areas to see and hike. Other residents and guests along the beach were friendly and ready with suggestions on where to go, what to see, and where to eat. We enjoyed everything about this trip.

    The Sweet Pea is a charming, well-equipped cottage just steps from the beach. It is perfect for 2 people and we were very grateful to Dawn for making us feel so welcome. The place was super clean, and had many amenities one might not expect in a rental. We were able to cook with ease in the cozy kitchen, and spent hours on the beach walking, beach-combing and reading. We hope to return next year! Thank you Dawn & Mark!

    The Sweet Pea is a lovely little cottage sitting in a grassy and shady plot at the sandy edge of Chandler Bay. It has a glorious view of the sunrise every morning as you sit in a rocking chair by a picture window and drink a cup of coffee. The cottage is cozy, the design is charming, the furniture is comfortable and there is plenty of room for two. The beach is lovely for walking and you can even walk out to an island when the tide is low. We love the quiet. We love that the cottage is so very clean, And we love its charming decor. We love staying there while we enjoy the Down-east area.

    We’ve stayed here three times now, and it’s always been magnificent. Listen to the surf while you drift off to sleep, and you have a great spot for the sunrise and a dark sky for stargazing. Dawn and Mark have everything you can think of available. When you think, “I could really use…” It always there.We had a special new moon bonus of being able to walk over to Mink Island across the way, but Bar Island is accessible at most low tides. Peaceful, cozy- we love this place, and our hosts are absolutely wonderful

    Terrific location for a quiet week's get away. Good base for the great hiking on Wass Island, around Cutler and onward toward Lubec. Accommodating hosts, comfortable cottage, nice sandy beach and A+ sunrises.
