Ruby Cottage

Very nice cottage , and clean. the Picture on your site, makes the Cottage look like it was right on the beach , which it is not. Its on a cliff, which was fine for us , but not fine for children. This is why We took 1 star away from the on line listing

About the host

Hosted by Kim

Host profile image
Our family lives and works in Maine and are usually not far from Ruby. We are a family of teachers, artists, athletes, and social workers.

Why they chose this property

We love Ruby for her quirky charm, stunning views, and access to Sandy River Beach for shell collecting, swimming, relaxing, kayaking, and paddle boarding.

What makes this property unique

Sandy River beach has huge and beautiful tides. It's so much fun to walk out to Bar Island when the tide is out and hunt for shells, sea glass, and other traces of wildlife. The birds are also incredible!
