About this property
Frisky Fish cottage on the water
The land is the safe place for your heart; the sea is the wild place for your spirit; the sky is the imaginative place for your dreams.
With all three right in front of you, you will feel that this is the place for you. The Frisky Fish Cottage sits on a small cove close to the water with a shoreline of roughly 125 feet. Internal and external views of the outside blend into each other; choose the panorama either from the comfort of the sofa or from adirondack chairs outside by the fire pit. From every window or from the unbounded ‘window,’ the view from the sea predominates. When you lay down for a nap, you may see a receded waterline with fishermen driving by in their trucks; when you wake up, you may hear the lapping waters of the incoming tide and watch those same fishermen riding out on their boats.
The cottage is small enough to charm but not large enough to overwhelm with its one and half stories. From the loft, look out over the welcoming living room with its cathedral-like ceilings. The open concept design allows the sunlight to dazzle you from the wide windows that overlook the water. The kitchen and a breakfast bar are tucked in a corner - hidden away to be useful but not to intrude on the main grandeur. Or turn to the tastefully decorated loft bedroom with its attached half-bath. A downstairs bedroom and a full bath (with laundry facilities) complete the accommodations.
Whether you come here to relax or to work, billowing breezes, beckoning beaches, spectacular sunsets, winter wonders, available amenities and convenient conveniences complete the possibilities.

About the host
Hosted by Lydia Chang
Lydia Chang first visited Maine from Malaysia when she was a little girl of six. A few years later, her family moved to the state. After several years, they left Maine but Maine did not leave her. She returned to the state as a college freshwoman; when she graduated as a software engineer, her condition of employment was their acceptance that she could work in Maine while liaising with their corporate headquarters in a big city in another state. Her roots deepened. She is now a homeowner in Maine with a scattering of chickens in her backyard. She loves to ski on its mountains and run after her Saint Bernard and Bernese Mountain dog on its beaches.
