Admire spectacular views of Mt. Desert Narrows from nearly every room of this oceanfront cottage, peacefully situated in a wooded grove on Brooklin's scenic shores. This is what coastal living in Maine is all about - sipping your coffee on the screened porch at sunrise and watching the passing sailboats from your deck in the afternoon.

This single-story, oceanfront home sits five miles north of small-town Brooklin. The house itself is private and independent, but it is also part of a larger family compound with a common road (and the homeowner living next door). Hike the Hundred Acre Wood Trail just down the street, head out to Deer Isle for a quiet day of exploring (eight miles south), and take unforgettable excursions to Acadia National Park (37 miles).

The cottage is a showcase of its surroundings, from the path that leads through the trees to the ocean shore to the glass doors and windows that frame the view at every turn. After a day spent hiking, kayaking, sailing, or driving the Midcoast, come home to light the gas grill, share stories on the back deck, and dine outside in the fresh ocean air.

Inside, the light-filled living space is accented by an open floor plan and beautiful details of natural wood. Whether you're utilizing the stainless steel kitchen appliances to prepare dinner, playing board games at the dining room table, or streaming movies in the living room, you'll do it all with a panoramic view of the water. Come nightfall, rest assured that everyone will sleep soundly amidst the plush bedding available in each of the bedrooms.

Maine vacation
We visited the first week in November. The property is gorgeous, but the listings between VRBO and Vacasa (a third party that handles the actual communication for check in and such) have huge discrepancies about being dog friendly. This caused significant stress when we arrived as we had to find the original listing saying we could bring our small dog. I would definitely recommend the property, but just be sure you keep track of what you are agreeing to. Also, the bedrooms were warm enough for us, but the common area was hard to heat with the vaulted ceilings. It would not be comfortable in really cold weather.

The home is situated on the waterfront with an amazing view. Very comfortable bedrooms and living areas which we all enjoyed. Not enough time to truly appreciate the home's quiet ambiance. One of the guest's left behind a family photo album which was quickly mailed back to her...for that we are so thankful. We highly recommend this property and would return again when we could spend more time just relaxing in the solitude.

Beautiful setting
Our party truly enjoyed staying on this gorgeous piece of property. Unfortunately, we lost power and water for approximately 18 hours due to a tropical storm. We did not have a name or a phone number for the local property manager, and were unable to request help. We contacted Vacasa on the 800 number and were informed that an urgent request would be put through for some assistance. We never heard anything. However, the caretaker/maintenance man came to check on the property on his own accord, and was able to assist us by hooking up a generator for a few hours to give us relief. We were very grateful to him. Housekeeping was definitely needing improvement. There was a very large area rug in the master bedroom that needed to be removed as it was a tripping hazard and caused several falls. We were unable to move it as it was under all that heavy furniture. There was mold in both the bathrooms and many of the dishes and silverware were dirty when we arrived for check-in. All in all, it was an incredible stay, because we are flexible bunch that loved the location, beautiful surroundings, and the hikes nearby. The most important correction would be that there would be a contact locally for assistance in emergencies, such as the one we encountered.
