About this property

Quiet ocean front home with open ocean views and granite coastline

Enjoy hiking, boating, fishing, sunset watching, lobster eating, and all the beauty and tranquility of Downeast Coastal Maine!This post and beam home is the perfect place to get away and relax. Located on Great Wass Island (accessible by car), enjoy one of a kind ocean views, walks along the pink granite coast line, and all the privacy you need. Not far from this location you have great nature conservancy trails, a public marina for boating, and a number of seafood distributors for all the lobster, clams, and crab you can eat.
The cabin is just feet from the ocean and west facing -- promising one-of-a-kind sunsets. It looks out on three uninhabited islands that are protected eagle sanctuaries.
Please note that during the summer months we can only accomodate Saturday to Saturday stays,

Wonderful quiet location with amazing views!!!
We booked this vacation rental last minute for a 4 night stay and it turned out to be our favorite part of a 2 week vacation. There is so much to do at this rental. We Kayaked, cooked lobster in the yard with the outdoor pot.. sat on the beach and read books… we would definitely book this rental again if in the area. Peter and Anitamarie

Adorable cottage
The reason I gave a 4 on the property description is if you don’t read carefully you will think you have 2 bathrooms. What you really have is one full bathroom and an outdoor shower. To me an outdoor shower does not constitute a bathroom. However it is a wonderful place and we had a great time. If you get a chance you should check out the pantry before you go grocery shopping. Lots of spices and condiments.

Absolutely wonderful vacation
Best vacation rental yet, the location and home far exceeded the description. We spent time beach-combing, paddling, and enjoying the peace and quiet of the DownEast Coast .

A beautiful escape
My children, ages 6 and 8, said this was their best vacation ever. We were blown away by the beauty of the property, and spent most of our week reading, fishing (for pollock and mackerel) and mud-larking right on the property. We saw seals, and one whale (I swear!) and enjoyed watching the lobster boats pull up their traps. The only bummer for us was that we were in fog for most of the week. A few things to note: the “steps” to the lofts are really more like ladders, which was fine for us. The outdoor shower is AWESOME and was everyone’s favorite thing. However- we had a few blondes that left vacation not so blonde due to the high iron in the water, so if you are blonde maybe take some hard water shampoo. We did the great wass trail and it was amazing but pretty strenuous- a no go with kids. I do recommend a trip to jasper beach. Overall, it was an amazing trip and we will try to do it again.

About the host

Marc and Helen are both physicians living in Connecticut.

Why they chose this property

Our family built this house in 1999 after falling in love with the area and the people of Downeast Maine. We've gone up every year since!

What makes this property unique

The lobster is great and, if we happen to be up while you rent the house, I love taking folks out to haul traps (we have 15 in the coves around the cabin). Also, as a cyclist, the scenic Maine roads are some of the best.
