Spectacularly situated with water on three sides, Casa Familia will grant you incredible privacy and direct access to the New Meadows River for wonderful kayaking and canoeing. This beautifully secluded retreat includes a gorgeous piece of waterfront property, an outdoor firepit where you can make homemade s'mores and priceless memories, and plenty of porch, yard, and living space where you can dine, lounge, and relax both inside and out. Spend your days sailing, hiking, and kayaking, and your evenings curled up with board games and a gaming system.

What's nearby:
This riverfront home is located on Sebascodegan Island, on a private drive at the very end of the Indian Rest Neighborhood Association. You'll find modest hiking trails in the adjacent woods, as well as direct access to the river right from the property (Cundy's Harbor is about a 15-minute ride by motorboat). If you walk down the road or follow the wooded path at the top of the drive, you'll come to a shared association dock for swimming. The legendary shipbuilding town of Bath is also just 10 miles northeast.

Private coastal retreat
Tricky lock on the front door but helpful local manager sorted it out. The location is dreamy. Fire pit is a highlight. Water is not very accessible but the view is lovely

Amazing location
The views from this location are amazing. Watching the tides, and the boats from the deck or lawn was a great way to spend an afternoon. Fires in the firepit was a great way to end the day. The cottage is well furnished with lots of seating, and pretty well everything that you need. We hope to go back.

Nice location
The location was beautiful. The only disappointment was the kitchen supplies. The pans were horrible, very scratched up Teflon pans. The electric frying pans tripped the electrical breaker.

Rented for Bowdoin parents weekend and had our Bates son with us! Ideal space for all of us and watching to sunrise from the rocks was above expectation. Everything we needed in including ease to the colleges!

Beautiful waterfront property
We had a family trip with 5 adults and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! First of all the house was fully stocked with anything you could possibly think of. Secondly, the location is spectacular, right at the edge of the water. We enjoyed bonfires at night, watching the tide come in and out, star gazing, just so peaceful. Would highly recommend this to anyone to rent.

Nice location but needs some maintenance and better cleaning
M husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. The location is good and the view is absolutely lovely. We heard the birds singing in the morning as we sat on the patio having our coffee. The upstairs bed facing the water is soft but quite comfortable which was nice. However, there are definitely things to improve on. First, I’d put some room Darkening curtains in all the bedroom windows. The sun shone right in our face at 5:30 am. Yikes!! We had to go find eye masks to wear. Generally, the cleaner needs to do a better job dusting and cleaning throughout the house I’d say. We noticed areas which had been neglected for awhile. The house is a bit skimpy on towels so hopefully they can add more even if there’s only a few people. And they did not provide coffee either which surprised us. Toiletries were a bit similar to what you would find in a motel but not in a million dollar VRBO listing. So we had to go buy some and the stores are not close by. Maine is a great place with LOTS of lakes and waterfront so we enjoyed the area very much. And the weather was fantastic!!

Perfect location, perfect home.
I cannot say enough good things about the home. The view is amazing. You cannot see any other homes. The home is soooo spacious. Beds comfortable. Big common area. Huge kitchen with all the amenities. Food store 10 minutes away. Restaurants 10 minutes away. Lots to do and see in the area. 15 minutes from downtown Brunswick. I absolutely loved this place and hope to return soon. Only complaint is with a 5:00am sunrise it would be nice to have blinds for all windows in room facing the lake.

September stay
This was a gorgeous property. The house was spacious, clean, comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped, outside of lacking one of those large blue lobster pots. We managed all the same. The view was spectacular and we had great fun finding all kinds of birds in the water, above it, flitting around the yard, perching and waiting for prey! Can't wait to go back. My friends who stayed in the master bedroom suggested a portable clothes rack to hang things on since the closet was locked
