About this property

Beautiful Seaside Cottage with Expansive Ocean Views

This lovely oceanfront home boasts a stunning and expansive view of Penobscot Bay. The ocean side of the house is lined with windows and french doors open to the spacious deck--perfect for grilling, relaxing and taking in the view. Wake up and fall asleep with the sound of the ocean and the smell of the salt air. Wonderful wooded walking trails out the back door and a private clay tennis court within walking distance complete the experience. The house has a wood stove and 2 zones of heating - for chillier weather in late fall, winter and early spring. This home is open, sunny and comfortable with water views from every room and wide pine floors throughout.

We had a guest who produces videos and blogs visit and she created this wonderful video which gives you a great sense of both the house and the area, for those wanting more information, this is a great place to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22ogIYatDBo&t=321s

There is a half bath downstairs and three bedrooms and a full bathroom (with claw foot tub and separate shower) upstairs. The master bedroom has wonderful views, a full closet and queen bed. The guest room has a double bed, full closet and a water view, and the 'kids' room has two single beds and an amazing birds eye view of the water. This house combines casual elegance with charm for the perfect getaway. The house is pet friendly (great trails for dog walking), though we may require a deposit depending on your dog(s). Fully equip kitchen for those who like cooking. If you prefer to eat out, lots of terrific restaurants in Rockland area (20 mins away).

We have recently built another cottage next door which is often occupied by our family and occasionally rented to family friends. This property has been in my family for generations, we have brought our kids here for holidays and summers, they are growing up and we built the new cottage in anticipation of the next generation!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Jones & Merritt Carey

Host profile image
My family has been coming to Tenants Harbor for 5 generations, returning each summer. I grew up with my cousins and other family members on the water, on the rocks and enjoying all Maine's rocky coast has to offer. With my husband Chris and my three children we continue to enjoy all this rocky and wooded coast has to offer. I'm a "recovering" lawyer and have spent my life on the water - sailing in the second women's round the world ocean race and the first women's America's Cup team. Recently I have gotten back into my childhood passion of horseback riding and we have a small horse barn with several horses we keep. Our three kids enjoy the property in different ways, my son loves fishing for stripper off the rocks, my middle daughter loves sailing and island;and hopping and my youngest enjoys riding with me and taking our two dogs on the trails.

Why they chose this property

This property offers you a window to Maine's wonderful coast. In summer and early fall, you'll see lobster fishermen hauling their traps right in front of the house. You'll sleep listening to the sound of the sea and wake to the small of the salt air. If the wind is right, you'll hear the peaceful sound of the bell buoy off of Southern Island (owned by famed painter Andrew Wyeth's family) chiming gently, a reminder of times past when sailors and seamen listed for bell buoys to warn them of land in for. Foggy days will bring you quiet reading and relaxing time, or allow for a trip to nearby Rockland (home to the famed Farnsworth museum, amazing eateries and other galleries) or Camden. There are terrific walking trails right from the house, tennis courts, dock for swimming. In the winter, snow shoeing, skiing at the Camden Snowbowl or watching the weather on the ocean from in front of the cozy wood stove all make for a wonderful time.
