About this property

New Listing! Island View Cottage

Island View Cottage sits in a small fishing village overlooking Malaga Island and Casco Bay and provides a luxurious spot along the Maine coast to relax and unwind. You can be among the first to enjoy this professionally designed and newly built, air-conditioned cottage that is completely powered by the sun. One-level living makes it suitable for all ages – from crawling babies to folks who would prefer a place where they don't have to navigate stairs. And being at the end of a private lane, you can count on solitude and a chance to truly decompress during your visit.

At one end of Island View is a gorgeous great room with a cathedral ceiling. Loads of windows open to wonderful breezes and views of the bay and nearby islands. Settle into comfortable seating to relax, watch a movie, or read a book in the living area. When the evenings get chilly, the glow and ambience of the gas fireplace will welcome you home after a busy day. The partially covered deck off the living area gets you even closer to the shore and is a restful place to sit with your morning coffee. If you're an early riser, you can watch many of the local lobstermen set off for the day's haul. After dinner, you can sit in those same chairs and enjoy the sunset. The dining alcove seats six for meals and can easily convert to a work area with high-speed internet for anyone who needs to check in with the office while away. The spacious kitchen includes lots of storage, a full compliment of all you need to cook up a feast, a large island, dishwasher, and beautiful granite surfaces.

At the other end of the cottage is the master bedroom with a queen bed, television, and an en suite bathroom with dual sinks and tiled shower. A huge walk-in closet allows you to actually unpack instead of living out of your suitcase. In the center of the house are two more queen bedrooms and a second full bathroom. The great room and each of the three bedrooms has its own individual heating and cooling unit.

A pack 'n play, high chair, and baby gate are available to accommodate your smaller family members. Beach chairs and umbrella, a cooler, and a bag full of beach toys are also on hand for your trips to Popham Beach, Head Beach, or Totman Cove Preserve. The cottage does not have a washer/dryer, but most guests are able to pack enough for a week's visit. There are also two laundromats in Bath if you're here for a longer stay. A pass to Popham Beach State Park is included with your stay. Bring your own kayaks or rent from Seaspray and have them delivered to the cottage. If you’re just starting out, nearby Sebasco Harbor Resort offers lessons to get you acclimated.

Maine Visit

Enjoyed a few beautiful days visiting Bath, Boothbay and Wiscasset. Our cottage was a bit remote, but the views were spectacular. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. We would most definitely do it again!!

The house and host were fantastic. I was not prepared for the fact that the location was 20 minutes to the nearest town (Bath) and 50-60 minutes from Boothbay. I would say that this location is perfect if you are looking for beautiful scenery and escaping the busy and perhaps hectic life that you temporarily need a break from.

Home away from home

Beautiful home with a spectacular view. It was the most well stocked home we’ve ever stayed in. There were many great food options nearby and super neighbors who helped us a lot. The crabby lobster was a good place to pick up cooked, giant lobsters (just call ahead). We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely, well-appointed house in a great area.

Island View Cottage is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the view of the water and Malaga Island from the back deck, and that we could launch our kayaks from the little beach. The free passes to Popham Beach and the town beach at Totman Cove were an added bonus.

Wonderful family stay

We had such a wonderful stay in Sebasco with our two young kids. Kathy's place was perfect - clean, a beautiful location overlooking the water, and so well equipped with everything we might have needed from kitchen supplies to games and books for the kids. It was a short drive to Popham Beach, which was a perfect spot to swim and play with the kids, and the house came with a beach pass. Perfect spot to spend a week!

Quaint cottage

We had a very nice stay despite the rain in the beginning of our week. It is a beautiful house. The only negative is that it is a good 30 minutes to Bath, where there are stores & convenience things. Also we had to go to Laundromat as there is no washer. Or dryer.

A Gem of a Summer Cottage

I wish six stars were available for this lovely property. Clean, comfortable, stylish, well-appointed (even a smart phone charging station)--Island View was a wonderful place to relax and explore the mid-Coast area. Two other points to note: the view from the deck is pure Maine coast and the host professional and easy to work with.

Beautiful home with gorgeous scenery!

This beautiful house was perfect for our week-long trip to Maine! It worked wonderfully for everyone in the family which included our pets, our baby, and our 90 year old father! The house is wonderfully clean, modern, and spacious and has absolutely stunning views of the water and island. We will be booking this place again next time we are in Maine!

Amazing property in quiet area!

Kathy's home was amazing and located in such a spacious and quiet area of Maine. The price is extremely fair for what you are getting when you stay here! The bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms were all spotless and I am already looking forward to staying in Maine again in the future at Kathy's beautiful property. She was so welcoming, and helped us out with restaurant recommendations and directions. Thank you Kathy!

This location is beautiful, the house is very nice and accommodated the family easily. Very clean and comfortable. Wonderful kitchen and 2- bathrooms! Fresh sea air and fresh lobster what more could you ask for? This was our first Vrbo rental and we are impressed. We highly recommend.

Off the beaten path get away

This lovely home is definitely away from the rat race! Arriving after dark was a little nerve racking, but what a pleasant surprise to awaken to the beautiful view off the deck! Island View Cottage was very comfortable with plenty of room for the four of us to move around and not feel crowded. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you might need, including basic seasonings and spices. Comfortable beds and furniture, and quiet surroundings. An extra special surprise was being able to arrange for the delivery of fresh lobster, which we cooked ourselves! Kathy quickly responded to questions and offered many recommendations for dining and activities nearby. If you’re looking to get away from the daily grind in a beautiful, peaceful setting, this is your destination.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

Host profile image
I'm a retired middle school English teacher and live in Phippsburg, just a few miles from my cottage. After a couple years, I really missed being at school and have gone back to substitute. Just a glutton for punishment, I guess! I have two adult children and one grandson, six years old and the best little boy ever.

Why they chose this property

I demolished an old, run-down family cottage and over the course of nearly a year, rebuilt it from the ground up. Because it gets full sun for most of the day, I decided to invest in solar panels. It was finally finished in July 2019, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I think everyone who stays here will agree that it was worth the wait.

What makes this property unique

Island View is at the end of a little dirt cul-de-sac and is one of just a few other cottages. Located in the small fishing village of Sebasco, it sits directly across from Malaga Island at the mouth of the New Meadows River. It's an amazingly peaceful spot.
