Real Coastal Maine!

We could not have found a better place to experience the “real” coastal Maine. The house itself was cozy and well-appointed, with comfy beds, a terrific cook’s kitchen and a fabulous covered porch overlooking the water and – importantly – the Strout’s lobster boat and dock right across the street! We enjoyed a day in Bar Harbor – about an hour away – but also had time to explore some of the charming and less crowded hamlets nearby (Winter Harbor was a favorite). The sight of the sun rising over Petit Manan Bay, the moonlight in the evening, and the fog rolling in and out along with the tides created some unforgettable viewing. We also had a chance to explore the Wildlife Refuge only a few hundred yards from the house. By far our favorite part was connecting with Brian, who called us to come across the street when the catch was in so we could pick out our lobsters for an incredible meal. We had no luck using the satellite TV service, but we didn't really mind - we were able to log in to our own apps on the smart TV. Our stay in Steuben was a wonderful experience – one we will be happy to repeat!

Disappointed

Wi-Fi was extremely slow or useless. Description of property was misleading for the high cost which made us disappointed. A call to the owner for a simple problem was dismissed without satisfaction. Considering the high cost of the property the expectations of amenities were not met. No private bathrooms.

Trip to Maine

The property was really nice and taken care of. It had eveything you would need to stay there. The house is big enough for several people and is dog friendly. The views are wonderful there as well. Lots of wildlife deer turkey's and ect. Also not far from Acardia National Park and Bar Harbor. There are plenty of things to do and see.

Great quite getaway

The property is very well taken care of and very spacious. Several places to sit and relax while listening to the water. There is not AC but we didn’t miss it. We opened all the windows and were comfortable. People in this area are quiet and friendly. Would recommend as we would stay again. Make sure you have everything you need before you get to the house. No stores near by for a quick trip.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Strout

Walter was an authentic third generation fisherman who was born and raised in the area locally.
He loved his heritage and the water. He grew up fishing with his dad beginning at the ripe old age of four.
Walter had personal and historical stories of the time and area that he would weave and share with you as he prepped for another day doing what he has done all his life; making a living from the sea!

Sadly, Walter passed in August, 2017 after a brief illness. His legacy lives on with his middle son using and operating his fishing wharf across the street from Walter's home. His eldest and youngest son are continuing to share the house with all those who wish to experience the beauty of Downeast Maine.

Why they chose this property

Walter came by this property as it was handed down from his grandfather to his dad and from his dad to him. With a strong and steely wharf and decades of fishing/lobster gear and boats, Walter is keeping the tradition going for generations to come. His son Brian is now the owner/operator of the wharf. You will see his boat, the "Sunshine Chalet" coming and going throughout the days.

What makes this property unique

With the smell of the sea, unimaginable views, and generations of livelihood running through his veins, Walter could not imagine any other place on earth he would rather be. "Paradise exists, and I've found it right here in my quiet little village."
