About this property

The Carriage House - A Cozy Beach Cottage With Spectacular Ocean Views

If you are looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation away from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life; a vacation where you can reconnect with family or friends, or enjoy peaceful solitude, then you will find no better vacation spot than the cozy Carriage House, set across the lawn from the soft white sand of secluded Sandy River Beach; where the forest meets the sea, and nature abounds. You will enjoy magnificent ocean views and comfy accommodations. Our woodland, marsh, and beach offer discovery of a variety wildlife, including the occasional moose, deer, eagle, harbor seal or porpoise. Stroll the ½ mile sandy beach collecting sea glass and other treasures washed in by the gentling rolling waves. Explore tide-pools, the rockweed covered granite ledges, and the streams of our salt water estuary, to discover a variety of tidal treasures. At low tide, hike across the sand bar to explore a nearby island. Or just relax on the beach, watching the lobster boats travel the bay hauling their daily catch, and the sailboats off in the distance. You can experience breathtaking sunrises, the spectacular glow of the moon as it rises over the ocean, and wonderfully starry, starry nights. Be lulled to sleep by the rolling ocean waves and evergreens blowing with the night time breeze.

The cozy Carriage House with an extremely efficient open floor plan, and well equipped kitchen, feels much larger than its actual size The oven and stove are electric and the kitchen window offers a view of our woodland and estuary. The dining table sits in front of a bay window with a view of the ocean and tree covered islands. The inviting sitting area has a propane stove, small library, satellite TV, and DVD and CD players. The cottage has two cozy bedrooms each with double beds, and a full bath. The larger bedroom also has a double hide-a-bed. The front deck offers an additional relaxing or entertaining area, and an ocean view.

The Carriage House is part of a family owned complex that includes another rental cottage, and in addition to the private white sand beach also includes a 10 acre salt water marsh, a boat ramp and anchorage (26' boat maximum), all available for your use.

Long over due mini vacation
Kathie & Bob were excellent hosts, always checking in to see if we needed anything. The cottage was very clean and welcoming. Bob treated us to a boat ride in the harbor to see the seals. They went above and beyond with special delicious treats! The sandy beach was a dream and fun to explore for rocks, shells and sea glass. We had the most wonderful relaxing time! Sure hope we can plan a trip again next year! Dave & Doris

Beautiful U.S. gem
Kathy and Bob could not have been kinder or more generous. The cottage was immaculate and included every convenience we needed without being cluttered. Our family of 4 had a magical stay, enjoying the beauty of Maine without the crowds. We can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Kathie and Bob Price

Host profile image
My brothers and I grew up in New England, visiting our grandparents at their cottage on Sandy River Beach every summer of our childhood, creating wonderful memories of the beach and our grandparents. Even after moving to California, the love of our time spent at the beach with our grandparents drew us back to Sandy River Beach as many summers as possible. As adults, my brothers returned to Jonesport, and they are an integral part of the Jonesport community. I have continued to return to Sandy River Beach each summer, with my California husband, our children, and now our grandchildren in tow. We spent many summer vacations in the Carriage House before purchasing the Sandpiper cottage right next door. In 2008 I inherited the Carriage House, renovated it, and continued renting it as my grandparents, and then my father had done for over 50 years, to wonderful families, many of whom have carried on a family tradition of annually renting our family cottages for multiple generations.

Why they chose this property

The Carriage House is so named because its original structure was built in 1893 to store the carriages for a small victorian beach house that sits slightly to the left in front of it. It is one of a very few rental cottages in Jonesport that sits on a private sand beach; and the only one on property with access to a private estuary and boat launch. The combination of fresh and salt water areas offers our visiting families a fun and unique water play experience. The estuary also offers a wide variety of wild life viewing for our nature admiring quests.

What makes this property unique

The Carriage House is small, but all who stay here remark how cozy, comfortable and spacious it is for its size. My brothersand I live on the adjacent properties to the Carriage House to offer onsite management and plenty of local information. My nephew who is a lobster fisherman will deliver the 'lobsters to order' to your door!!! We rent the Sandpiper cottage as well, which is also listed on Homeaway, Families sometimes rent both cottages for family reunions or for vacations with friends.
