Oceanfront retreat with sunrise views, screened porch, & deck

Admire spectacular views of Mt. Desert Narrows from nearly every room of this oceanfront cottage, peacefully situated in a wooded grove on Brooklin's scenic shores. This is what coastal living in Maine is all about - sipping your coffee on the screened porch at sunrise and watching the passing sailboats from your deck in the afternoon.

This single-story, oceanfront home sits five miles north of small-town Brooklin. The house itself is private and independent, but it is also part of a larger family compound with a common road (and the homeowner living next door). Hike the Hundred Acre Wood Trail just down the street, head out to Deer Isle for a quiet day of exploring (eight miles south), and take unforgettable excursions to Acadia National Park (37 miles).

The cottage is a showcase of its surroundings, from the path that leads through the trees to the ocean shore to the glass doors and windows that frame the view at every turn. After a day spent hiking, kayaking, sailing, or driving the Midcoast, come home to light the gas grill, share stories on the back deck, and dine outside in the fresh ocean air.

Inside, the light-filled living space is accented by an open floor plan and beautiful details of natural wood. Whether you're utilizing the stainless steel kitchen appliances to prepare dinner, playing board games at the dining room table, or streaming movies in the living room, you'll do it all with a panoramic view of the water. Come nightfall, rest assured that everyone will sleep soundly amidst the plush bedding available in each of the bedrooms.

Perfect Getaway

This was one of the best rentals we have stayed in for our family vacation. We enjoyed climbing on the rocks, exploring the coast, the location (close enough to Acadia), and the small town down the road. This place was incredibly cozy, clean, and inviting. The views of the water were spectacular!

A great place if you’re looking for quiet and solitude on the Blue hill peninsula. Views are excellent and it’s an easy 15-20 minute drive to Deer Island and 50 to Acadia. Not a huge number of restaurants in the area - ie within a 20 minute drive, but plenty for a week’s worth of dinners….but then again, depends on your palatte. Description and pictures were accurate. Overall great place.

We loved the view and the amount of bedrooms. It was clean and had an adequate kitchen for our stay. We loved that it had access to the bay and the screened in porch. Shrubs blocked the view from the screened area, unfortunately. It was a lovely location easily driveable to Acadia and Bar Harbor but was quiet and out of the way. We definitely recommend it.

A beautiful cottage on the water that was well appointed. It was a perfect place for our visit to Maine. The only disappointment was we were never connected to WiFi.
