A quintessential Maine summer cottage located in the desirable Sand Beach section of Stonington.

The first floor of the home has a galley style kitchen with supplies to prepare most any meals, plus a dishwasher. There is a formal dining area and a full bathroom on the first floor. There is a living area with gorgeous views and sliding glass doors that go out to the small covered porch where one can take it the beautiful sights of the open ocean. Finishing the first floor is a bedroom with a full bed and its own half bathroom.

The second floor of the home is more rustic with bare wood in some areas. There are two bedrooms on this floor, one with a full bed and one with two single beds. These two room are adjoining so you do walk through one to get to the other.

Spectacular Setting

There are few (if any) views along the Stonington coast that would surpass the one from Half House. From that perspective, the stay well-exceeded expectations.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

This cottage on the water was perfect for us. It was outfitted with everything we needed and the views were unsurpassed. We saw loons, otters, osprey and plenty of boats. The lighthouse and waves lulled us to sleep each night. It's an old-fashioned family cottage- nothing fancy but very charming and cozy. Don't be afraid of hard water, just get creative with purified water and hair washing if you care about looking halfway decent.

Amazing view!

Pictures can't do the water views justice; the natural beauty before you is just gorgeous! You are as close to the water as you can get. A very peaceful place for a vacation. This home's common areas are very comfortable and bedrooms are comfortable enough tho' more rustic. Drinking water is provided to renters as the well water has a lot of mineral content; we have heard this is common in the Sandy Beach area. The Island Agency was very responsive to our questions & other small issues that came up.

Location, location, location!

Beautiful view at Half House. Sitting on the porch above the ebbing & flowing tide is intoxicating. Close walk to Sand Beach was perfect for exploring. Only drawbacks are the full size beds (queens would be better) and iron smell of water. Plenty of drinking and cooking water is supplied with a Poland Spring bubbler. Our family enjoyed diving right off the rocks into water! View of Harbor islands is exactly the “Maine” experience we were looking for. We spotted otters, seals, bald eagles, osprey and sea minks believe it or not. The minks swim! The lobster 🦞 buoys are so scenic and I assure you they are not props. This place is the real deal for an authentic Stonington experience ;-) With new beds this place would be 5 star..

CANCELLATION POLICY
All cancellations must be in writing (email is acceptable) and received by the Agent. Cancellations may only be made between the date that a reservation deposit is received and a date determined to be 45 days prior to the Guests’ scheduled arrival date. Cancellations within 45 days of arrival will not result in a refund in whole or part of rental funds received. If a cancellation is made prior to 45 days of arrival, the Agent shall make a good-faith effort to re-rent the property at the published rate for the reserved rental term. No refund of rents paid will be made until the cancelled period is re-rented and confirmed. If the cancelled period is re-rented, any rent and taxes paid will be refunded less a $100 administrative fee. If the new rental amount is less than the published rate, any difference in rental rate will be deducted from the rental returned to the tenant. If the unit is not re-rented, all rental funds paid, processing fees and taxes shall be forfeited as damages.
This cancellation policy is strictly followed. Guests are encouraged to purchase travel insurance for all vacations to cover many situations that may arise which might cause one to cancel vacation plans. Life happens and we don’t want you to lose your deposit. There are many independent insurance providers available to tenants. I understand that the insurance company holds this policy and that The Island Agency does not determine eligibility of claims.
