Ocean view

Soak up the view during your stay.
The most incredible sunrise views await at this delightful Downeast cottage. Located in the quaint fishing & lobstering village of Jonesport, the cottage sits on a 2acre lot with 150 ft of accessible oceanfront, offering a combination of ocean views & privacy. Far from the maddening tourist horde, the peaceful sounds of the rolling ocean waves & the rhythmic chugging of the local lobster boats will lull you to sleep. Explore the undeveloped coast of ME from this renovated charming home.

The space
Ocean is available with stair access. The stairs are enter at your own risk due to the winter storms this past year. We are looking to put a seawall in since our embankment has washed away.

Other things to note
I’d recommend booking sooner rather than later due to high volume of inquiries.

Feel free to bring bug spray. In the spring the mosquitoes are out.

A pellet stove is in the living room if desired.

In the master bedroom there is a dresser available to the guests.

The two twin beds are in a loft which makes for special memories for the children.

Stairs down to the ocean and on the loft are steep .

Neighborhood highlights

Stairs lead to the rocky beach, where tidepools offer amazing discoveries, and wildlife has often been spotted in the yard. Sandy River beach is close by if you’re looking for a sand beach experience. A large deck overlooking the huge yard and ocean is perfect for quality family time, or just watching the seals of Seal Island or the lobster boats hauling their traps.

While the cottage is secluded, many attractions are nearby. Buy your lobsters right off the dock, and the clams and mussels may have been harvested that day. This is also the heart of wild blueberry country. The Blueberry Hut, built in the shape of a blueberry, offers blueberry confections and souvenirs. Explore Roque Bluffs State Park, the Great Wass archipelago, Machias Seal Island, Moosabec Reach, the nature trails of Beals Island, and West Quoddy Head (the easternmost point in the United States) all within an hour’s drive. Bring your passport and you can visit Campobello Island, the summer home of President Franklin Roosevelt. Within an hour and a half drive are Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and all the attractions of Mount Desert Island. A public boat launch is available in town for your kayaking and canoeing adventures. In Jonesport, there is a grocery store, Beals Island has a seafood and ice cream restaurant which was honored by USA Today as the best lobster roll in Maine and Massachusetts, and nearby Machias has several dining options. The week of July 4th offers the world-famous Lobster Boat races, featuring some of the fastest lobster boats in the world. Coastal boat excursions are also available, including puffins, whales, seals, and lighthouse tours.

Lives in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire
Hello! My name is Nicole. I am a mother of two children, Ivan and Hadley. We live in the white mountains of New Hampshire. My grandparents have owned this cottage for thirty-five years and have recently passed this peaceful gem on to me. I have wonderful childhood memories of this cottage and Jonesport, which I can now share with my own children. I am sure you will understand once you visit this secluded and peaceful space.
