About this property

Oceanfront Sunset View Near Bass Harbor Head Light

Reed Shore Cottage features a multi level layout that works perfectly for families or groups who want a bit of extra room to spread out.

The interior has a traditional cottage feel with wood finishes and a cozy, beachside atmosphere. The main floor is where guests can come together with a bright layout that leads out to the large deck.

Downstairs, there is a finished lower level that serves as a separate space for movies or just getting away from the main group for some quiet time.

LIVING AND ENTERTAINING
The main living area gives you a quiet place to relax with windows that look right out over the harbor. It is a great spot for slow mornings or to simply watch the boats go by.

For a change of pace, the lower-level entertainment room gives you a second living area for movie nights or gaming, which is helpful if the kids and adults want their own space. Both spaces are set up with Smart TVs for streaming so everyone can watch what they want, wherever they want to be in the house.

High speed WiFi is available throughout the house to keep everyone connected, while the outdoor deck gives you a peaceful sanctuary where you can unplug and take in the views.

KITCHEN AND DINING
The full sized, chef ready kitchen comes exceptionally well provisioned to reduce arrival stress and allow for effortless meal preparation. Stocked with essential spices, oils, and a dedicated drip coffee setup, the space is ready for everything from quick trail breakfasts to delicious Maine feasts.

The interior dining table is surrounded by windows with views out over the ocean. Here you can dine together with seating for six or use this space for family boardgame nights with a selection of games to keep everyone entertained.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
The bedrooms are spread across the two levels of the cottage giving you a sense of privacy for larger groups. The lower-level functions as a private suite with a queen bed and its own ensuite bathroom, making it a quiet retreat away from the main living area. On the main level, there is a second queen bedroom and a third bedroom with two twin beds, a perfect setup for families traveling with children.

Both bathrooms in the home include tub and shower combinations, providing plenty of utility for getting everyone ready after a day of exploring the coast. Each bathroom is stocked with fresh towels and essential amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so guests can settle in and relax from the moment they arrive.

A washer and dryer are also available in the home, making it easy to pack light and stay as long as you like.

OUTDOOR SPACES
The elevated deck is the main feature of the house and provides a front row seat to the harbor’s daily comings and goings and the stunning western sunsets. With comfortable alfresco seating for six and a propane grill, it is the perfect spot for afternoon cooking by the sea.

Below the deck, a shaded ground level patio and wooded yard provide a cool retreat from the afternoon sun and gives you a launching pad for shoreline adventure from the private, rugged staircase that leads directly from the yard down to the rocky beach, offering guests their own locals only path for beachcombing and exploring the tidepools.

When exploring the shoreline, it is important to keep the tide clock in mind.

Please note that the bank is steep and the shoreline is rugged, so supervision is recommended for children.
