About this property

Ocean front house with two private beaches-- on a peninsula--spectacular views!

Ocean front home located at the end of a peninsula, on Fickett's Point in Milbridge, Maine. It is privately situated close to the ocean on three sides and a spectacular open view of the islands from the living room. This house is across the water from the town of Milbridge and has access to a sandy beach in back and a rocky beach in front.
Very quiet and very private.
You get sunset views over the water on one side and sunrise views on the other. If you like the sound of the ocean waves at night you will love this comfortable two bedroom home with a picture window and window seat in the living room looking out at the islands. Both beaches are private and easily accessible. You can launch a boat at the marina a mile down the road and cruise around the coast or easily pull a canoe or kayak down to the shore directly in front of the house. There is nice kayaking and canoeing all around the vicinity. The house is great for a husband and wife private getaway or a retreat for vacationers wanting a quiet and scenic place to forget their worries and just relax. Children will love the diverse collection of shells, beach-glass and things to find while beach-combing.
The house is, and has been, immaculately clean. It is supplied with all the amenities. This house is cheery, comfortable and cozy with lots of natural light. It has plenty of room inside and truly spectacular views.
We have wireless high speed internet and a smart t.v. too. There is a new gas fireplace for quiet cozy evenings. The house is surrounded by water on three sides. There are two very accessible beaches, both private, included on the property. This is a very peaceful area situated at the tip of a peninsula. This is the last house at the very end.
This house accommodates 4 (6 if you want to put a couple children on the roll away beds). All new appliances and fully outfitted for a restful vacation.

How far? The house is 1½ hours east of Bangor and the Bangor International Airport. 4½ hours northeast of Portland, 5½ hours from Boston and 10½ hours from New York City.

What's nearby? Acadia National Park. Also Campobello Island, New Brunswick (FDR's summer home) is within an hour and a half, as is Quoddy Head, easternmost lighthouse in the US.
Lobsters and clams are readily available in Milbridge (lobster and clam pots provided with cottage). This is one of the largest wild blueberry producing areas in the world, so there are plenty of berries available nearby during the season (late July through August); berry picking is permitted at Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge in season.
Activities in this part of Maine include hiking the Petit Manan Coastal Wildlife Refuge trails, visiting the pink granite shores at McClellan Park in Milbridge, exploring the crashing surf at Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor, hiking the Bold Coast up in Cutler, visiting the wonderful Milbridge historical society museum and, of course, checking out the tourist attractions in Bar Harbor.

The photos don’t do it justice!

The pictures were great but we were stunned by the beauty and serenity of this place. It is also much larger than it seems in the photos. Well appointed with extremely comfortable beds and pillows. We had planned to use it as a base and day trip but just didn’t want to leave. Bar Harbor was close enough to visit easily. Sunrise and sunset both amazing from the property and just beautiful beyond words. There have only been a couple places in my fairly extensive travels where leaving has brought tears to my eyes but this was one. I hope to come back sometime for a longer stay.

Beautiful private beach access

We loved the property. We spent time on the beaches and climbing on the rocks of the shoreline. We were glad to have the large lobster pot and the yard games in the garage. The fireplace was inviting and cozy. We would definitely stay here again.

A perfect Maine vacation spot. Nice but not pretentious. Everything you need but not too modern. I mean that in the best way possible. Enjoyed the quiet time with the family after a day out exploring the region.

Ocean front Maine experience.

The house is comfortable, clean, incredibly well equipped, private, safe, and quiet. It is located on a point with water on three sides. You always know you are on the coast of Maine. There is easy access to the water including the ability to kayak from shore. It is a short drive into town to buy groceries and access restaurants. Beautiful hikes in the various parks are also easily accessible.

Relaxing retreat

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing time. We enjoyed looking for shells on the private beaches and sitting by the indoor fireplace in the evenings. The house was very clean and except for food of course, had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Maine.

Such a peaceful, renewing stay!

Well appointed and cozy house, with everything you could want - from toiletries to cookware! But! The location!! Superb for relaxation - amazing views and the sound of waves, so peaceful. Literally steps to the water, on most sides of the house. Ideal location for stargazing. Milbridge itself is such cute town, everything we needed for food was a short drive away.

My favorite getaway

The location is perfection. The amenities are so well stocked and generous it truly feels like you are welcomed into the family. It is a secluded but very close to town. There is nothing that needs improvement - it is truly a slice of paradise and I cannot wait until we can return again. Sea Spruces is my favorite place on earth!

30TH Anniversary

What a wonderful location- the place was just beautiful, felt like home as soon as we checked in. Just an extraordinary location nestled between two beaches- gorgeous views of the Ocean and deep dark skies- I took my telescope and had a lot of fun with that- there are a lot of animals who are very friendly- no moose though ha ha- I cant wait to go back. I made an innocent mistake and thought we had one more day than we did and the property manager was accomodating in giving us time to get out- it was a fantastic experience.

Wonderful property

This property has everything you could need! The house was super clean and was the perfect size for 5 of us. We all had enough room to spread out when needed. We all loved the older style of the house and being on the peninsula was the best! So cool to have our own private beach with rocks, shells & sea glass. Lastly, the price was great as well!

Beautiful views, Quiet Retreat

If you’re looking for privacy, natural beauty and clean accommodations, this is the perfect rental. It’s not fancy or modern but it provides everything you need and there’s a peaceful feeling the minute you walk in. The owner and groundskeeper are easy to contact. Fresh lobster and other seafood are available at Chipman’s Wharf just down the street. Boat tours, pier fishing is all available. If you have kids or grandkids they will have plenty of room to run and go to the private beach for shells. We loved it.

Cozy clean home by the Sea

I loved the homey feel of this house and its location between 2 beaches! The house was very clean and neat with wifi and RoKu TV! I especially enjoyed walking along the beaches and seeing the view through the large windows. My friend said the water was filmy when she showered, but I didnt notice anything. I would love to come back!

We didn’t want to leave!

The property is spotless, the location is incredible. Every day felt like we were living in a beautiful postcard. Milbridge is a great little town with unique shops and a good assortment of restaurants. We would have been happy just to stay on the property every day…eagles, osprey, seals, deer. Wonderful beaches, easy access for the kayaker and paddleboarder in our family. Great location to get to Acadia or the less crowded sites near by. The house is so comfortable we really could have just stayed in place for the entire week. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we really didn’t want to leave.

A Wonderful Peaceful Home:) We loved the layout worked perfectly for this Family of 4. My brother and husband enjoyed looking at the pics of the home being built!

Beautiful Location!

Hurrican Lee was bearing down on the area, and we were worried about our stay. The owner was on top of every detail, from path to projected weather, to quick replies to initiated conversations. We could not have been better informed. Thankfully, no damage and the house and beach were left unscathed. Truly reaffirming and compassionate communication. The sunrises and sunsets are magnificent! We saw seals in the harbor just off the beach. So many wonderful strolls along the beach. Ideal location. Bar Harbor is a short driving distance. The Bold Coast Byway begins just down the road from the house - take the BCB trip, it was a gorgeous drive with idyllic coastal stops. Little things like good water pressure in the shower. Separate living quarters for children and adults. Quiet end of circle location. Washer and dryer. Large yard to play games in. All of these were just icing on the cake of a great location.

Lovely coastal Maine

The property is beautiful. The home is a bit like stepping into a time capsule, reminiscent of grandma’s house but very clean. The grounds are better than we imagined. Multiple beaches of sand and rock. The kids explored it all. So many nearby attractions, but you may be tempted to stay at the house as it has so much to offer. It was even better than we could have hoped for.
