About this property

Escape to Maine! Enjoy the beauty and solitude!

A true escape! Our property offers rare unobstructed water views and waters edge location. This custom home and adjoining quintessential Maine cottage offer high-end amenities and comforts, including private swimming beach, central air conditioning, gas fireplace, Sub Zero and Viking appliances in the kitchen, reliable Wifi, 60" Smart TV with satellite DirecTV, jacuzzi bathtub with a water view, and treadmill. Guests enjoy unobstructed views from all house and cottage rooms and beautiful waters edge outdoor space. Importantly, we offer a unique, private tidal swimming/boating beach on a placid inland bay - power boats are few and far between.

Spring, summer and fall visitors have access to two separate buildings separated by 50 yards of gently sloping lawn. The cottage (sleeping as many as 5) is especially popular with couples with small children - you will have total privacy, your own bathroom, kitchen, and deck, and you can join the group at the big house whenever you like!

Toast smores on the fire pit at sunset, or explore the walking trails through the preserve. Play and dig on the beach, enjoy the island view from the comfortable patio, fish the bay for the many fish, such as striped bass and Atlantic salmon. Paddle out to Brick Island, where bald eagles nest. The bay's private tidal beach & minimal surf make for ideal swimming and paddleboarding. There are no drop offs or rough waves to worry about and our westward facing tidal bay makes for some of the warmest swimming water in all of Maine. It is perfect for swimming and digging with buckets, collecting sea glass and using other water toys. L.L. Bean kayaks, stand-up paddle board, canoes and lounging rafts are located directly on the beach for easy use. The property is home to bald eagles and other important and protected birds and flora, as the property abuts conservation land. The house is in very good proximity (less than 15 minutes) to a variety of shopping, fine and other dining in Brunswick and Bath, as well as the gateway to all midcoast tourist attractions.

Bath is part of midcoast Maine & the Boothbay Harbor region. Tour nearby historic Bath, voted of the best small cities in America, shop, dine and hop on the trolley . Visit Boothbay Harbor, Five Islands, nearby Freeport Outlets and L.L. Bean, Cundy's Harbor, Wiscasset, Georgetown, Popham Beach, Camden, Portland & more! Great room TV/Master TV, Internet, gas fireplace. Dining recommendations and touring information provided.

This was our family's first vacation in Maine and Chris and Sara's property was perfect for us. Clear and easy check in, well appointed kitchen. We spent part of every day on the water and appreciated the kayaks, canoe, paddleboard, life jackets and beach chairs. Short trip to Bath, Brunswick, Freeport when we needed supplies or wanted to eat out. Mainly we stayed "home" and enjoyed all that the cabin and its surroundings had to offer. Highly recommend.

Family vacation with 8 adults and plenty of room for everyone. Everyone was really pleased with the main home and we were closer to Bath than I thought we were going to be. Plenty of trails in the surrounding area and a good home base for exploring this area of Maine.

We had a wonderful stay with extended family at this beautiful, clean, and comfortable home and property.

Our family had a lovely time at this property. There was plenty of space for our family of eight, and we enjoyed the location on the river. We were able to see bald eagles outside the windows several times on our trip, which was fantastic! Each family essentially had a floor and a bathroom, which was so convenient and made us feel as if we had our own spaces. Having the washer/dryer was wonderful and allowed us to pack light. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was ample living space on the main floor of the main house.

Amazing Property

We enjoyed our stay in this home very much! It's beautiful inside and out. We loved kayaking in the river, sitting on the back deck, and when it got cooler in the evening, we enjoyed being inside with the huge windows and the gorgeous view of the sunset. The bedrooms were comfortable and the little cottage was perfect too. We highly recommend the house and will stay there again when we can!

We had an excellent week of family gathering from all over. This property was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. We loved having access to the kayaks. Our dogs liked the yard and the beach area. The house was really well equipped ( even if you forgot a toothbrush!). My 96 yr old father in law was able to get around very comfortably. He did not take the stairs down to the water but commented over and over how much he was enjoying the view from the livingroom. The use of the cottage worked really well for additional sleeping. The kitchens were well equipped which we appreciated. Enjoying family time with a backdrop of sunsets over the water was magical. Thanks!! Great communication and information from the friendly hosts! This was a great spot!!

Perfect get away

We are a family large group of various ages ( one crawling infant) who stayed due to a family wedding in Georgetown! The space of the home was lovely and relaxing, everything we possibly needed was there for us. The infant life vest saved us as my son forgot the baby's at his home! The scenery, seeing the eagles, the quiet- I can't give this home enough praise!

couldn't have been better!

We had the best time during our stay, seeing bald eagles and woodpeckers, swimming and paddling on the water, walking the nearby trails, taking easy drives to nearby sites. The reality is even better than the photos. So peaceful and relaxing. The house is well-stocked for a group, both in the kitchen and with the water and other game/play equipment. The hosts were flexible and very responsive, but everything was so well-explained and in great condition that we didn't need to do much other than enjoy! We all hope to be back!

Christmas stay

This is a lovely property We gathered there for a family Christmas. The three levels of the house gave us ample space to spread out when we wanted to and the large living room area was great when we wanted to be together. We rented just the main house. Very clean, well stocked and tucked away for privacy but still only minutes to grocery store and beaches. The pool/pingpong table was a big hit with my neice and nephew. We even got Gramma to shoot a few balls. We will definitely consider this place again for our family get togethers.

Spectacular Views

Every room in this house offers beautiful water views. Enjoy dinner in the dining room or patio while watching gorgeous sunsets. Bedrooms on separate levels, as well as a separate cabin, allow for privacy. House is very clean and well-equipped, and the owners are friendly and responsive. Be aware that the steps to the beach are very steep, and the beach is rocky, not sandy. The swimming and boating are great, though. We saw seals and a bald eagle!

Wonderful getaway!!

We had the greatest week here! Our family of 14 (5 kids 5 & under) enjoyed the seclusion this house affords. We felt like we had dropped off the earth. It was so peaceful and quiet and serine. The owners were some of the best I've ever dealt with in all my years of dealing with VRBO owners. Sara even went out of her way to help me purchase a 3rd pack-n-play for the grandkids. They have a beautiful home! The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We'd love to come back some day.
