Waterfront Maine Cottage with Private Beach and 4 Bedrooms

It is so beautiful there, I can't exaggerate. Sunset and sunrise and so quiet and private. The dining room, living room, and bedrooms have equally stunning views, and you can also sit on the porch and watch the moon on the water. It was easy to cook in the pleasant kitchen, and fun to drive over to the Blue Hill co-op for ingredients. The host was very nice and very communicative, and had great recommendations for nearby walks. Cannot recommend more.

An absolutely beautiful panoramic view can be enjoyed from almost every inch of this cottage, which is perched on a low rocky ledge right on the water. From the back porch, living room, dining room and bedrooms, we could watch seals pursuing schools of fish and listen to loons, lapping waves, occasional lobster boats passing by. Bald eagles were spotted perching in the trees beside the house. There is a small pebbly beach on the property from which we fished and skipped stones and admired seaweed. The house has a simple, quirky, rambling old-fashioned character that we loved— but others should be warned that if you’re looking for plush or luxurious accommodations, this might not be the place for you. The rooms are fairly spare, and the kitchen and bathrooms are functional but old-fashioned and very basic. This was just fine for us and was far outweighed by scenery and charm. Blue Hill, a few minutes drive away, is a very nice town with several very good restaurants, shops, hiking trails, etc. and there are many other beautiful and interesting places a short day trip away, including Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The host was attentive and communicative; check-in and checkout were smooth.

My fiancé & I had a great time vacationing in Blue Hill, and this house was a beautiful place to relax after a busy day out. The only thing different than the listing was that the wifi was out but the host was so communicative and accommodating, it genuinely didn't matter.
