Waterfront home on St. George River with private beach & deck - near festivals
Rising Tide Cottage
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Offering a stunning location on the broad St. George River just before it meets the open ocean, this waterfront cottage has everything you need for a summer in Midcoast Maine. Enjoy a private beach that's perfect for kayaking, a wonderful deck, and an enviable location near Maine's most famous summer festivals.
The home's setting and exterior provide a bit of classic character, while the cottage interior is all brand new. After a day spent at the Maine Lobster Festival or the North Atlantic Blues Festival in nearby Rockland, you'll be greeted back at home by a living space lined with picture windows framing the water outside.
In the mornings, prepare breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen, sit down to eat at the circular dining table, and follow the path down to the beach to launch your kayak. The afternoons and evenings are best spent soaking up the scene from the deck or the yard, barbecuing fresh seafood on the gas grill, and watching movies on the living room or bedroom TV (with cable and streaming capability). A washer/dryer and high-speed WiFi are provided as well.
