About this property

Uniquely perched above the water, Tidewatch offers magnificent views of the harbor, mountains and surrounding landscape from 3 sides of the house. Every room has a water view! 3 bedrooms plus a sleeping cabin on the shore, accommodates 8 people. Large 35'x 30' deck has 3 seating areas which include outdoor dining table & chairs, propane fire pit area with chairs and lounge chair area. The dock is a great spot to fish or launch your kayak. Truly unique! Sunday to Sunday booking.

The space
The main living area is on the top floor taking advantage of the truly stunning views. Second floor deck provides a small outdoor vista for viewing the sites or small group dining while the spiral staircase affords access to the massive deck below. The master bedroom has double doors leading to the deck. Wake up with the sun should you choose, and wander out on to the deck with your favorite morning beverage and watch the wildlife. A pair of eagles can often be seen across the way on John's Island. This area of the harbor is tidal so twice every 24 hours the water will recede allowing you to see the harbor floor and the wildlife that searches for food when it's low tide.

We loved our stay in MAINE!

The views were relaxing and beautiful, eagle visited a few days. The home is fully stocked and ready for your enjoyment. Beds are comfortable, plenty of blankets, pillows and linens for all 5 of us. Could have used a few more hand towels in the kitchen. Seating in kitchen and living room is adequate be careful of the rugs they were slippery. We did have an issue with the grill, one guest prefers meat and tried to cook multiple times on the grill with no luck, just not hot enough to sear. The side burner worked great for the lobster!! One our last night there was a terrible storm, had to latch all windows water was coming in, we lost power, and it did not come back on before we had to check out. We have stayed in 4 other Maine homes and this one was just what we needed. Thanks to our host for the great communication!

The best of Maine

This is truly a special home on the water in Maine. It allowed us to experience the habitat of that little cove in ways that would not have been possible in other rental houses: to be part of the ocean tide as it cycled through each day, to watch the birds, to find the frogs and slugs in the woods, to sleep in the napping cabin in the rain. We felt so lucky to have found it and stayed there. It will be in our family memory always.
