Imagine breathtaking, unspoiled natural beauty as far as the eye can see that will fill you with a sense of awe and wonder. Imagine a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature – a place so magical and unique you’ll long to return. Welcome to the Seaside Sanctuary.

Privately sited on 5 wooded acres with 600’ of granite shoreline, nestled amidst mature spruce and pine trees overlooking a remote peninsula with captivating views of ocean, islands and tides. This special home invites you, your family and friends to share a one-of-a-kind vacation amidst the wilderness beauty of Maine.

Savor coffee on the deck as the mist burns off the water in the warmth of the sun’s rays. Have a seat at the elevated upper granite ledge sitting area with sweeping views of adjacent islands and miles of granite shoreline. Enjoy the warmth of the afternoon sun on the oceanside deck as you settle in for another dazzling sunset. Or, have a seat at the lower granite ledge sitting area and listen to the ocean lapping at your feet. With no other homes in sight -- only pristine natural beauty as far as the eye can see, you’ll quickly understand why the Seaside Sanctuary is your special place to appreciate nature’s splendor.

Built in an era before setbacks from the shore were increased, the close proximity to the water's edge accentuates a feeling of openness and communication with the beauty and solitude of rural coastal Maine. Inside, an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and walls of oversized windows and sliding glass doors capture stunning views and natural light. Relax and enjoy good company and conversation on the spacious oceanside deck. Observe vibrant sunsets and abundant Maine wildlife (seals, deer, eagles and a variety of bird species.)

Accommodating up to 4 comfortably, the Seaside Sanctuary features a vaulted master suite with private bath and a sitting area with sliding glass doors for a commanding view of ocean and islands. An additional bedroom and second full bath, along with a fully stocked kitchen make for a comfortable stay. Living room window seat with expansive views enhance the quaint charm of this unique home.

If you're in the mood for adventure, rent mountain bikes and explore the dirt roads about the coastline of Lubec or Campobello Island, or day hike nearby trails.

This lovely seaside retreat is a true sanctuary for the soul and an outdoor haven for those who crave adventure or desire quiet, private solitude. Come enjoy this DownEast, Maine treasure today and prepare to fall in love. In fact, so many of our guests do, they return year after year.

    I’ve been saying here for nearly ten years. Aside from the stunning location, I appreciate that I can make my trip as busy or as quiet as I want, and there is something for every interest: hiking on one of the Cobscook Trails, grabbing a beer and listening to live music at Lubec Brewing Company, meeting artists as the numerous galleries in the area (make sure to visit Crow Town Gallery), chat with the locals, or just have some quiet time sitting on the back deck watching creatures cavort. It is my favorite place.

    An absolutely perfect place to get away from it all! Awesome sunsets, quiet breezes, and the wonder of giant tidal changes. Not another person in sight the entire week...just eagles, deer, and a few gulls. The Seaside Sanctuary was exactly what we expected, perfectly cozy with everything we needed for a getaway to recharge and reset. Scenic hikes in the area, cute seaside towns, and the lovely countryside were highlights that we mixed in with long relaxing days reading and sipping coffee on the many decks situated thoughtfully around the property. This was everything we had hoped for...we will be back!

    Our 3rd stay at Seaside Sanctuary and this time we stayed 2 weeks. Stacey is always super-communicative and the house has everything you could possibly need. We were able to get in some nice day trips down to the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia National Park, Milbridge, Calais, Eastport, Reversing Falls, Machias & Jasper Beach. We caught a sunrise at West Quoddy Head Lighthouse and explored Cobscook Shores and points around Lubec and the Bold Coast. We spent about 1/2 the time there just being at the house- soaking in the views, getting out on our kayaks and taking in the ever-changing tides, wildlife & scenery. And the QUIET; maybe the quietest place we have ever been. We were also treated to 2 nights of the Aurora Borealis, which were absolutely stunning! This is a very special & magical place and we will be back, hopefully sooner than later.

    This home is my secret getaway destination. After a stay here, I’m refreshed and ready to face the world. The location is ideal - solitude if you want it but easy access to towns, shops, and galleries. Stacey, the owner, is just a text away if something comes up, but the house is so well appointed you typically don’t need anything extra. I will be honest - this is not the Maine of Bar Harbor or busy tourist towns on the southern coast. But it is the Maine I love best. If you want to spend your days hiking and paddling lakes and your evenings gazing at star-filled skies, this is the place for you.

    We had an incredible stay at Seaside Sanctuary. Spectacular views and the perfect home to unwind and unplug. Truly one of the most beautiful properties to be found anywhere. Gorgeous views of the cove with comfy rockers and Adirondack chairs for sunrise and sunset vistas. House is well-taken care of, spotlessly clean, and has everything you need plus some excellent extras - binoculars, fans, pretty margarita glasses w/ matching pitcher, stock pots for lobster, fantastic lighting, comfy seating and beautiful decor. Beds were super comfy plus two full bathrooms. Nothing better than waking up in the morning to gaze right from bed at the sparkling water! We had so much fun trying to spot the eagles each day. We also saw seals, cormorants, and a very friendly red squirrel who visited daily. We could have spent each day relaxing in the various areas designed for enjoying everything this property has to offer - nature, the sea, wildlife, and views. Morning coffee on the deck at the southeastern end of the property and drinks in the evening in the chairs at the northwestern end! We had fantastic weather but Seaside Sanctuary would have been just as lovely on a rainy day. We also enjoyed seeing some sights in Lubec - Bold Coast/Boot Head Preserve, Quoddy Head, Monica’s Chocolates, and Love at First Light Ice Cream were some highlights. But really and truly our favorite thing to do was hang out at our seaside sanctuary! Stacey was also an excellent host and check-in/out was easy.

    Truly enjoyed our vacation at Stacy’s VRBO home. The home is beautifully decorated and the water views are amazing. I’ve stayed in many “ HOME AWAY’S “ and Stacy’s is definitely 5 stars !

    This is a magical place with all the charm and warmth you can imagine. The views are incredible and the force that brings you into nature, its beauty and magic is palpable. There are no words to describe the home, Lubec, its people and shores. We will most definitely return.

    This was our first trip to Maine, and Stacey’s house did not disappoint! It was beautiful! Everything was very clean and easy to find, and I cannot BEGIN to describe the views. The location was serene and peaceful; if not for the occasional plane flying overhead, it really does feel like there’s no one around. Stacey was also great communicating; it was easy to get in touch with her as needed and she responded quickly to all of our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

    We had a beautiful week in Lubec. House had everything we needed, and more. Spent our first few days relaxing and listening to music, great CD collection. Bed was comfortable and it was great to wake up and have coffee and look out over the water.
