About this property

Beautiful ocean-front home, wooded seclusion, private beach on Maine Bold Coast

All the beauty of Acadia in your own wooded corner of Maine’s Bold Coast, this property is truly medicine for the mind. Acres of forest carpeted by soft moss surround the home and a crystal clear brook meanders through on its way to a small waterfall on the cliff at the beach. The walkable beach is covered with small smooth pebbles exactly the same as Jasper Beach which makes an amazing pop-rock sound as the waves crash and retreat. Large bold pink granite veins are also part of the beach landscape and they stand defiant against the waves of the Atlantic.

The views of the islands and open ocean from all 3 levels of the home are truly breathtaking. Enough beds to sleep 6 guests comfortably, this classic Maine home features a spiral staircase, wall to wall windows on the first floor living space providing panoramic views of the water, and newly refinished original hardwood floors from when the cottage was built in 1905. There is a one of a kind bench and a hammock with a net enclosure available for guest use that provides a prime spot to chill by the sea and recharge. Guests can explore the trail through the woods that leads to an observation deck with two rocking chairs. The serene spot is next to a small water fall and overlooks the bold rocky coastline.

The property provides easy access to the beach via a gently sloping trail. The ocean in front of the property is surprisingly calm many days, especially mornings, and you can often see kayakers and paddle boarders making their way to Jasper Beach, which is just up the coast a bit from the cottage. The cliffs, canyons and caves between the cottage and Jasper Beach are truly phenomenal when viewed from the water or explored on foot. Guests must supply their own water sports equipment, which can be rented from outfitters in nearby Machias.

There is a king bed in the spacious upstairs bedroom, a queen bed in the second upstairs bedroom, a twin bed and two built-in bunk beds in the first floor bedroom, a full size bed in the newly finished bedroom in the walkout basement, and an available fold out cottage bed. The top bunk in the bunk room is more comfortable for children ages 5 through 10 and the bunks have a weight limit of 180 pounds.

The home is heated by a combination of propane, electric baseboard and a newly installed mini-split heat pump with air conditioning as well. The best air conditioning however is most always the windows and there are window fans available for guest use in all rooms except the bathroom.

There is a antique desk in the upstairs bedroom with a monitor that can serve as an office space if necessary. There is also a desk and office chair in the basement bedroom and a fold down desk in the second upstairs bedroom each offering work spaces as well. The kitchen has a dishwasher, refrigerator, gas oven and four burner cook top, microwave, a combination Keurig and drip coffee maker, blender, salad spinner, lobster pot, lobster and oyster shucking tools, and a toaster.

A few modern amenities include high speed internet from SpaceX Starlink and a 55 inch flat screen television with AppleTV in the living room with Disney+ and Hulu streaming services included. There is also a universal EV charger with a J1772 adapter (and native Tesla adapter) available for guest use. Guests will need to use their own logins for access to other services.

Great property, great hosts.
Perfect spot for our 4 night getaway, love how quiet the Machiasport area is. House is cozy and unique (in a good way🙂). We had an issue during our stay that Brian couldn't have handled any better, he really went above and beyond! This is a great property steps away from the rocky coast of Maine, a true oasis to get away for a while.

Beautiful stay
The property was even more amazing than it looks in the photos. The driveway in weaves through a mossy forest and opens up to a beautiful ocean view. Once inside, the home is exactly as pictured in the photos, beautifully updated and fitted with all the spices and cooking essentialls necessary for your stay. The view is ever changing as the tides are significant here, the shore going from a quintessential Maine rocky coastline to an expansive rocky beach walkable to an impressive cave. Brian and Melanie were super helfpul in making suggestions in advance and checking in during our stay. Would absolutely recommend staying here, excellent all around.

Charming Cottage, Beautiful Setting
Charming cottage, beautiful setting. Well equipped and stocked with necessities. Nicely decorated with comfortable furnishings and beds. We loved exploring the beach bordering the property. This property is secluded, which we enjoyed. Had some concerns beforehand about 1 bathroom (for 6 adults) and the spiral staircase (with small dog, we used a baby gate to keep her on the first floor). Both ended up being fine. Totally worth it for the location and view. Only drawback, which can’t be helped, is the mosquitos, so be prepared in the warmer months with proper clothing and repellent. Day trips to Jasper Beach, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, Long Point Preserve, Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada were all fantastic.
