Peregrine House is a beautiful air conditioned, three bedroom, three level home on the ocean in Castine, Maine. Castine is a historic, picturesque coastal town, known for its history as one of North America’s oldest European settlements. It is frequently ranked as a top small town to visit due to its charm, history and beauty. At the center of town, you’ll find a quaint village atmosphere, with unique shops, a grocery store, the town wharf, and sumptuous local cuisine. From golf and tennis, to sailing and kayaking, exploring Dyce Head Lighthouse, visiting a historic museum, seaside dining in the salt air, or attending a concert on the town pier, visitors of all ages will have a memorable family vacation or private getaway. We have had the distinct pleasure of hosting families from Paris Fr., Hong Kong, Australia, as well as numerous states here in the U.S.

As you enter the house on the main floor off the sun porch, the house is open concept with hardwood floors, a cathedral ceiling, a lovely white kitchen with granite counter tops, a spacious dining area which seats 8, a 3/4 bathroom with a large shower, a comfortable living room with a big sectional couch (perfect for an afternoon nap or a movie night with the family) and multiple windows on the water side to catch those breathtaking sunsets Castine is known for. Up the stairs in the center of the main floor lies the third floor balcony master bedroom, which has two queen sized beds, a full bath (with bathtub and shower combo) two dressers and a sitting area. This floor overlooks the living room space below, and features a bank of windows with stunning views of Penobscot Bay.

Down the stairs to the lower level of this home you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bath ( bathtub and shower combo) and a laundry room. One bedroom has a full sized bed, a large closet and a dresser and the second bedroom has a queen sized bed, a large closet and a dresser. Both bedrooms have large picture windows on the water side. This lower level opens onto the huge front lawn ( facing the ocean ) for games, dining, relaxing and family activities. A gas grill (gas provided) and patio set are in this area for your dining pleasure. We provide 2 cornhole boards, a fire pit, and kayaks for our guests.

Off the main floor, there are three separate doors leading to a large wraparound deck on the water side, perfect for dining and relaxing. At one end of this deck is an enclosed three season glass sunroom with comfortable seating so you can relax and enjoy the sunset. The circular driveway will hold five cars, and inside the garage are two bikes for touring Castine. There is a generator available if needed.

    Loved the property cannot say the same for cleaning. Owned an island vrbo property for many years so know that things don't always work out the way you like. But after a long 12 hour travel when my wife and I awoke and realized the brown spots on the sheets were human excrement it was just too much!When we went to the closet for fresh sheets they were bunled in a ball and also not clean.In master bath areas which have not seen cleaning in quite some time.Great house but zero stars for the unacceptable sheets issue.

    This is a wonderfully peaceful and comfortable home, with a truly amazing sunset view. An easy walk to Castine, the beach, and Hatch Cove Preserve. We had a great week here and hope to come back in the future.

    Very easy check in, kitchen clean. Lovely views, beach walks and sunsets. Castine is a quiet historic village. Take the golf cart historic tour. Housekeeping was mediocre to say the least.

    We had a wonderful stay at the lovely Oceanfront Home overlooking Penobscot Bay. The house and deck and screened in porch was very comfortable for our family. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and the easy access to all that the area offers.

    My husband and I selected this property for the location and amenities that perfectly suit our needs with our dog. The pictures of the property do not do it justice, it is super comfy and simply stunning. The only drawback was no A/C but my understanding is this is being added.

    This oceanfront home was the perfect landing spot for our family. The kids used the kayaks and explored the coast. We lounged on the large deck, caught a couple amazing sunsets, and played lots of card games. Location was central to all the things we wanted to do. Quiet neighborhood. We had a lovely time.

    Peregrine House is situated on a quiet road in a peaceful location with a lovely view of the bay and gorgeous sunsets. There is easy access to the town of Castine and the house is a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed swimming. The house was well-equipped. The beds and living area were comfortable. Mary Lou was responsive to our questions and needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Our family of eight adults and two kids had a wonderful time in Castine! The house had a lot of amenities and was close to the town with boat launch and to a beach in walking distance. We visited Bar Harbor and Acadia national park but make note it is about an hour and a half drive. We checked out the Fort Knox in Bucksport and went to the top of the bridge tower. Mary Lou was very easy to get in touch with. Castine is a very historic town with a wonderful museum. We also got lobsters to cook at the house from Eaton’s boat yard at a great price. If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing, reading, swimming, having a lobster bake of your own and watching amazing sunsets, this is the place to go. if you want to be busy with shopping and lots of site seeing activity, you might want to stay closer to a bigger city.

    The property location was lovely and peaceful. The main level of the home, loft, enclosed porch were very nice. I traveled with my husband, my sister, brother in law and their adult daughter. They stayed in the “lower level” bedrooms and really felt like they were in a basement despite the door leading outside. They ended up buying a blow up mattress and slept on the main level because of spiders and the overall atmosphere on that level. For what we paid for the week, we expected better. This is really a place for a couple and small child. With some updating, it could be a beautiful spot for a larger group such as ours. I was hesitant to write this but wished we had been made away of the lower level arrangements. We did let Mary Lou know as well.

    7 of us, ranging in age from 7 to 72, spread out on all three floors, but watching the sunset from the screened porch or deck was truly spectacular and loved by all. The girls adored climbing on the rocks and kicking the soccer ball. We all enjoyed strolls to the public beach, feeling the wind rustling through the trees, flowers nestled throughout the property, and picking ripe red raspberries. Just a note to future renters: We loved having 3 bathrooms! The owner, Mary, was always reachable when we had questions. We could tell this home had been treasured by her family for a long time. There were definitely tears when we took a farewell look at the waves and sky. Memories were made in this oasis by the sea.

    Relaxing, wonderful stay. If you're looking for peace and quiet and a chance to get away from it all, this is the place. It is 45 minutes to the nearest lobster pound, Belfast or Camden and about an hour away from Acadia, but still easy enough to do day trips. The house was very clean and owner was responsive and helpful. Check-in was easy and we quickly made ourselves at home. It is a nice balance between a modern Maine home and quaint cottage to give just the perfect Maine-getaway feel. The sunsets are also beautiful to watch from the wraparound deck.
