Coastal Villa for Memorable Moments Along Coast of Maine

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this rental—perfectly designed for a large family reunion with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and inviting common spaces ideal for both socializing and working.We shared unforgettable family dinners in the two spacious, fully equipped kitchens—one in the Main House and another in the charming Carriage House. The compound is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need—pots, pans, grills—truly making it a home away from home.The location couldn’t be better: stunning seaside walks, leisurely picnics at Fort Madison and the Wilson Museum, and a convenient hub for day trips to Acadia, Blue Hill, Deer Isle, and Camden. The town itself is a gem. For dining, we highly recommend The Castine Inn for breakfast, The Breeze and Castine Variety for lunch or brunch, and Dennett’s for afternoon cocktails or a delightful dinner. Don’t miss the snack shack at the main town dock—it’s cozy and perfect for a casual picnic.What truly set our experience apart was the exceptional support from the owner, whose careful pre-planning and attentive help throughout our stay made everything seamless.If you’re looking for a picturesque coastal getaway that perfectly balances togetherness and tranquility, this is it.

Absolutely fantastic. Lots of room- very comfortable - great surroundings - super opportunities to enjoy the spectacular outdoors!!

This was the perfect property for our family of 14 people. We had plenty of room to be together when we wanted to be, which was most of the time, and freedom to do to have quiet time apart. Castine is a beautiful, small New England village with its common surrounded by picturesque New England houses along side of the ocean. The people were very friendly. Easy access to the beach. Plenty of things to do or not. Ted Regan, proprietor of the property, was very accommodating and helpful in any way, and easily reached.

Good location, can accommodate large group in 3 houses, many activities available. Our family has travelled around the world and I would not recommend this rental unless the owner make a major cleaning to eliminate the bad odour of the rugs (cats and dogs are allowed but we have none), moles and spiders.

These 3 houses were perfect for our family reunion! There was room for all 3 generations to gather together for games in the BH and the CH. This meant that there was also always a place to go for anyone who just wanted to read or nap. The kitchens were set up for actual meal making and the yard was beautiful. Ted was a tremendous host and immediately available to answer questions.

Three structures suited us perfectly, Ted (owner) was incredibly responsive to the smallest issues during the stay.

Beautiful houses, locale, and experience. Very grateful for the opportunity to rent this property.

Comfortable accommodations for a large family. Host provided helpful guide for activities.

This is a GORGEOUS property. The house is very comfortable and plenty of room. The gardens are beautiful, lush, and fragrant! I loved the tiny house! I could live in it! Everything is top notch. THE BEST cookware we have ever used in a rental. Nice dishes and glassware. So nice to have top of the line grills available, and gas cook tops!!! We actually cooked several meals because we enjoyed just relaxing in the beautiful space. The owner is super nice and everything went smoothly. I don't think there is enough space to write all I want to write here. Fresh flowers in vases awaited us. Chocolate!! A sweet thank you note. The place and spaces are extremely well thought out. Comfortable beds, nice hot water pressure in the showers. Pet friendly! If you are looking for an over the top nice place to stay and an owner who truly cares about his property and his guests, look no further! Thanks Ted for being such an awesome host!!!

Ted's Castine Coastal Compound was the perfect location for our family reunion. We used the Big House for my mom and the three siblings/spouses and the Carriage House for the adult children (two couples and two singles). This allowed the whole family to gather together in the BH and gave the cousins their own space to hang out together. The Tiny House came in handy for people to work during the day and for folks to gather later at night without disturbing those who went to bed. It's an easy (and pretty) mile walk into the town of Castine, which has two very good restaurants, an excellent bakery/breakfast spot, a seafood lunch shack and a small grocery store. There are plenty of other restaurants and cities/attractions within 30-40 minutes from Castine and Acadia is a little over an hour away. Plenty to do if you want to keep busy and very relaxing if that what you are looking for. Teds' Summah Guide provided ideas for dining and activities and he was always just a quick text or phone call away if we had any questions. Everyone at the reunion was extremely pleased with the location, which was nice since I selected it :). I highly recommend the Coastal Compound for family gatherings (it can sleep many more than we had if you have a larger family).
