Beautiful views
Beautiful sunsets over the water!! Nice deck with table and chairs and large windows in living room and upstairs bedroom overlooking the water. Bedroom with twin beds is small and bedroom in basement is a bit stuffy but
both are ok. You can walk along the beach when the tide is out and take dips when the tide is high. House was well supplied. We enjoyed our stay and had fun exploring the area! Be sure to eat at The Dolphin!

Sunset central
Beautiful views of Middle Bay. Mornings watching the lobster boats and evenings watching the sunsets, all while listening to the sea gulls discuss who's getting the day's findings. Compliment this taste of Maine with a fresh and brightly remodeled cottage, and you can't go wrong staying here if you're looking to experience everything Maine coast has to offer.
