Charming Beach House - Fire Pit & Jetted Tub
Summary:
Pine and Sea Beach Retreat, Fire pit, dog ok, Jetted tub, beach 1 mile, HEATED
Wake up to deer in the yard, and the birds singing! This private lot is great for viewing Maine wildlife, yet close to the beach and shopping! In the pines but close to the sea. Ride your bike to Carters beach, or to lunch at the local restaurant. Is sea-glass hunting, or maybe a game of tennis at the clay courts in your plans? Possibly sailing lessons, launch your boat at the town dock, or kayak tours? All ...
The Space:
This clean and open floorplan home has all of the amenities for you and your family to relax, cook together, and make memories!!
The large and sunny kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies for that family dinner or lobster bake! The dining room has access to the deck through big sliding glass doors for the gas grill, and additional eating space on the deck. There you will find the fire pit or "chimenea" and Adirondack chairs to watch the fire and unbelievable stargazing at night! Some nights it looks like you can just reach up and touch the milky way, as you count the shooting stars.
The living room has plenty of space for family games and sitting by the pellet stove.
First floor bedrooms are a must for the elderly family member, with access to a full bathroom. One first floor bedroom has 2 twin beds, and plenty of storage. The second main floor bedroom has a queen bed.
The primary bedroom and en suite bathroom on the second floor boast a granite accent soaker tub, new walk in shower, and trendy footed vanity. The bedroom has a desk for added workspace, and a king sized comfy bed. There is a full laundry room off of the master bath with a washer/dryer, beach towels, and a iron and ironing board.
This home has everything you may need, and is close to things to do yet private and elegant. It is in the pines, but close to the sea. A true Maine experience!

Thank you so much Michael for the review regarding your stay with us at the Retreat! We are happy to hear that the location reached expectations for you. It would be an honor to be able to host you again in the future!
The house was great - plenty of room for the family and to hang out in between adventures. The neighborhood was also wonderful for morning walks. Just a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Great directions were provided and we found the property easily. The host was very communicative throughout our stay. The property was just as described. We loved the location and it was very peaceful. Our favorite spots were the sun room and by the fire pit on the back porch. The jetted bathtub was wonderful after the long day hikes at Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park.

My 1st born daughter graduated high school & wanted to celebrate by going to Acadia National Park. She also wanted a place quiet & away from the busyness of a city. This place was great for that !! Very quiet, pretty, peaceful, & within 35-45 minutes of Acadia National Park. The park, hiking, ability to have s’mores outside was great !! Everything was as promised. Would recommend this place to anyone

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It is close to everything but far enough away that you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere when you want to relax. We had plenty of room and everything was as advertised in the listing. Would stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was spacious and even nicer than it looked in the pictures. We spent a lot of time exploring the nearby Tidal Falls, and Bar Harbor was only about a 30 minute drive away. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a Maine getaway!

Love the location with easy 7 min walk to the cove. Awesome place to put in your kayak at high tide! Easy drive to Schoodic Peninsula which became our favorite location to climb rocks.

We had a lovely stay at this home for our first visit to Maine. The teens were happy to have their own rooms, and we enjoyed having the upper floor all to ourselves. The area is pretty and quiet. Susan, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive, and wanted to make sure our vacation was fantastic.

We had a really great stay at this home. It was spacious and the upstairs bathtub was a delight after a long day biking. The area is great for biking to Frenchmens bay, Acadia and Bar Harbor is close enough to take a day trip. We enjoyed the quiet of the area and the sleepy country setting.

If you want to get away to a quieter part of Maine, but still close to MDI, this place is for you. A cozy porch for your early morning coffee or afternoon reading always awaits. The small towns nearby offer plenty of places to eat, if you don't want to cook.

We enjoyed our stay very much, the house was spacious and there was plenty of room for all of us. The area was beautiful and quiet, my dog Nellie loved running around in the yard. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor was a pleasant drive approximately 35-40 minutes each way.
