Castine, Maine
Spacious yet cozy classic Maine coastal cottage built in 1912 with views of the water. Adjacent to all of the features of Castine, the house is a 2 minute walk to the water, 5 minute walk to forest preserve and lighthouse and 5 minute bike ride to town. Watch and hear the bell at the entrance to Castine harbor.
On the first floor, there is a beamed living room with original architectural details, dining room, kitchen with adjacent eating area, powder room, laundry room and a den/office/tv room, bathroom and a large sun porch.
Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom has a balcony facing Penobscot Bay and separate full bath; the second large bedroom has a separate bathroom with a claw foot tub; there are 2 additional bedrooms and full bath with another old fashioned tub.
There is an outdoor patio area, BBQ, large comfortable yard and a garden sitting area. Complete kitchen with cooking and baking needs.
Our family traveled to Castine to visit our daughter at Maine Maritime Academy, and we were so fortunate to be able to secure this home for our stay. The home is quiet and serene and fully stocked with all the amenities that we needed to have a fantastic stay. We cooked all our meals at the property and the kitchen was well stocked. We found everything we needed easily and were very happy with the amenities provided. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with beautiful views. There is a den, living room and enclosed porch as well as a large breakfast area and formal dining room. Every room was warm and inviting with its own unique charm. If you are a fan of star gazing, then this property is definitely a star gazer delight as we were able to see the milky way and other constellations while we were there. We would be remiss if we did not mention that there is a book collection in this home that we were in awe of. We only wish that we had the time to pour through them all. Our host Dan communicated with us before our arrival and was so easy to work with. We appreciated his hospitality and how promptly he responded to our reservation request as well as the few questions we had. We highly recommend this VRBO as we would happily rent it again.
Castine is a cute, small coastal town. The house is extremely comfortable, beautiful architecture and details. Very quiet and peaceful, and a short walk into town for a bite to eat and a view of the sea.
This was our first time staying in Castine and the Blue Hill peninsula, but we are veteran Maine summer guests and this property is exceptional. What a wonderful house in a special village.... quiet with the harbor bell ringing and Dice Head and the light house a half block away. Lots of yard and living space in a great neighborhood location. The breezes and open windows are so comfortable. Penobscot Bay, Stonington, Deer Isle and Acadia are close and Castine village has some very good food or you can get groceries and be very content at the house. What a great place.... so happy that Daniel chose to share it. Thanks.
I cannot praise the host enough for his excellent communication, collaboration, and attention to detail. The house is lovely, airy, well equipped, and comfortable. Our family enjoyed it so much we wanted to stay on...maybe next year. I highly recommend this property!
