Stunning Coastal Cottage w/ Sea Views

Rusticators & writers discovered Castine years ago -and never left. For GOOD reason. The ocean air cools the nights, fresh lobsters awaken the senses, and the colors of sunrise/set are mythical. Perfect base camp for exploring Bar Harbor, Camden, islands. Bedrooms: 5, Bathrooms: 4.0 Multiple private sitting areas-curl up with book or enjoy first cup of coffee alone. Three decks offer ample outside areas to play cards, chat or finish that great read. Yard perfect for croquet, badminton! The space Recently renovated coastal cottage, in historical and hysterical 'downeast' village. This three-story, south-facing, hill-top home, nearly abuts a 155 acre cliff-side wilderness preserve, looks seaward, and at dawn is raucous with all the birdsong; 35 species in the neighborhood! Five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, three decks, mature gardens and a wooded lot is the perfect retreat for a large family -or three! This cottage was a single-story until ten years ago- when two floors were added making this essentially a new-build! Hardwood floors, marble counter tops, new appliances, super comfy mattresses, also new, and adirondack chairs outside for tipping and gossiping round out this idyllic rental. NEW Weber grills make grown men cry. There is also a large basement that contains a laundry, game room and workshop. The main home with five bedrooms has an optional guest cottage (aka Tiny House) with loft bedroom, LR/Dining area below and adjacent full bath. ($149/night extra). It has its own bath, grill and sitting area perfect for the family matriarch or newlyweds! The town of Castine, pop 1,200, is renowned for it's 400 year maritime heritage, including one of the nation's best Maritime Academys. Castine also boasts Inns, pubs, wine/ jazz bars, bakeries, yacht clubs and a nine-hole golf course. And after sinning all week one can on escape into one of the six churches for redemption on Sunday. Sea-kayaking, sailing, long forest strolls, short bike rides, sunsets at nearby lighthouse, and simply fresh seafood whether prepared at home or at one of the the three great restaurants within walking distance make this vacation rental outstanding. ** Please note during HIGH season: June15-Sept 01 all rentals are min seven-night weekly.

Guest access Entire property, excluding recently built ‘tiny house’, adjacent but not connected, available separately at $149.00/night.

Other things to note Separate and apart from the main house, is an adorable ‘Tiny House’-sleeps 4, with its own private bathroom, mini-kitchen and windows facing eastward out of sight from main house. Great for ‘honeymooners’, seniors, or mature teenagers. Loft bedroom and conv couch allow two adults and two kids to enjoy a diminutive respite in a lovely garden setting.
