Exquisite coastal oceanfront home with private beach.
Nestled on a private peninsula, this oceanfront cottage boasts unparalleled serenity and breathtaking views of the Maine coast and picturesque islands and the graceful silhouette of lobster boats and sailboats, often from the renowned Hurricane Island Outward Bound School. A private beach invites tranquil moments, with kayaks ready for exploration and Adirondack chairs positioned for sunset spectacles. A lookout point offers panoramic ocean views that leave guests spellbound. Inside, a spacious first-floor master bedroom and bath offer luxurious comfort, while two bedrooms on the second floor, one featuring a private deck overlooking the vast expanse of the sea, ensure every moment is infused with coastal charm and tranquility.
But first, a private drive flanked by towering spruce trees creating a lush canopy that offers shade and shelter. The property teems with a diverse array of wildlife. The cool ocean breeze dances across the property, it brings relief from the warmth of the sun. The property boasts captivating rock gardens along with rugged boulders transformed into works of art that seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings. First step inside, you’re immediately captivated by the breathtaking 180-degree views through floor to ceiling windows in the living, dining, and den of the ocean, harbor, and islands punctuated by the silhouette of southern island, a historic light house-sitting sentinel over the rugged coastline. In the cozy den a gas fireplace adds warmth on cooler evenings, for reading, puzzles, games or watching your favorite Netflix series.
The gourmet kitchen with its sleek granite countertops and state of the art appliances, is a chef’s dream offering both functionality and style, the breathtaking backdrop of ocean views provides the perfect inspiration.
Adjacent to the main living room, a spacious dining area invites you to gather for memorable meals with loved ones, with the ever-changing seascape serving as a captivating backdrop. Sliding glass doors open onto a sprawling deck, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living and creating the perfect setting for alfresco dining or sunset cocktails overlooking the ocean.
In the evening, gather around the crackling granite fire pit, where stories are shared, and memories are made. The gentle sounds of waves against the shore provides a soundtrack for the cherished moments.
As night draws to a close, retreat to one of the well-appointed bedrooms, each offering plush bedding, serene ocean views and luxurious amenities to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
In the early morning hours, you may catch sight of the local lobstermen setting out from wheelers bay harbor. The air is filled with a briny scent of saltwater and cries of seagulls, the honking of geese adds a touch of wildness. You might see tankers, cruise ships and other large vessels using the Penobscot bay channel. As twilight descends and the stars begin to twinkle overhead, the lights of returning lobster boats dot the horizon, like beacons in the night.
While you won’t want to leave this property, you are close to Tenants Harbor and only a short drive to Rockland, Rockport and Camden where you can enjoy the many cultural opportunities and great restaurants.

This rental is gorgeous, quiet, comfortable, & clean. It has spectacular views and a waterfront with coves, kayaks, a hammock for day-dreaming & more. The owner came by one night with cozy comforters - just as I was planning to reach out to request additional bedding. The beds, the pillows, & the way the bedrooms are appointed are top notch. The modern kitchen had everything we needed to cook generous meals & the dining room table allowed us to gather together for dinners with a view of the spectacular yard & bay. Heavenly!

We had a wonderful vacation in this idyllic property. Conveniently located to experience the lovely towns of mid-coast Maine. Well equipped kitchen, beautifully furnished and artfully decorated home surrounded by stunning landscaping and glorious views of quiet harbor. An extra bonus were breathtaking sunset views from wrap around decks.

Everything about this place is perfect - the views, the grounds, the sound of the waves and the house itself which was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We are already looking forward to our return next summer.

This house has great water views at sunrise, sunset, and all day from the wrap around porch. The property provides lots of privacy. With the open layout, the views from inside the house are also great. Kitchen is well appointed and the house was very clean.

This place wildly exceeded our expectations in every way! The setting is top notch-- private, serene, and jaw-dropping in every way, in sun and fog and even rain. The house is perfectly and thoughtfully appointed, squeaky clean, and magnificently adorned. The grounds are beautiful. There is so much to do and see nearby. We are very much looking forward to a second visit and feel very privileged to have stayed here.

The house was beautiful and even closer to the water than I thought! Pictures don’t do it justice. The art in the house and surrounding the property was amazing. I would stay here again any time!

I cant say enough about how wonderful this property is. Yes, the location is a little remote, but that is the beauty of it. So much beauty!! Views of sunrise and sunset over the water. Lobster boats going about their daily business. Quiet, natural setting and lansdcaping. The furnishings, appliances, linens, everything, were top notch and comfortable, even luxurious.

Definitely remote. For a true get away from it all, this is the place!! Well appointed kitchen with Bosch appliances, all very clean and like new. Comfy beds and beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy... including a fire pit! A little chilly to enjoy the paddling, but we used the fire pit and enjoyed the nature and lovely bayfront. We stopped at a grocery so we could cook bfast then we went out on excursions to nearby landmarks. Perfect for 2 couples or a small family. Lots of windows and beautiful natural setting along the bay front.

Exquisite. Just exquisite! Pictures do not do this beautiful home justice. We loved everything about this rental. We loved sitting in the porch at night and beautiful lights went on every night that lit up a path to the beach. It was so pretty! This house is brand new and filled with beautiful items. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the art, sculptures and beautiful rugs throughout. We tried to take it all in and enjoy all there was to offer…but we only had three nights. Next time we will stay for longer! We loved the beach and kayaks, too! This was by far the most beautiful rental we’ve ever stayed in. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
