Western views of Penobscot Bay for beautiful sunsets over the water. 900 feet of shore frontage, quiet setting with private deck. A lighthouse across the Bay continues to direct some large vessels to Bucksport. In the fog, you may hear the fog horn sound every 7 seconds. The beach is a great spot for walking, collecting beach glass, and driftwood. Our regulars like to build forts on the beach with the many shapes and sizes of driftwood that wash up. There are also a couple of lakes in the area if you would like to visit some fresh water. We are equal distance to Belfast, Bangor and Ellsworth. Short drive to many coastal Maine towns; 12 min to Blue Hill, 7 min to Castine, 45 min to Acadia National Park, and 60 min to Camden/Rockport. I do my major grocery shopping in Bucksport, a comfortable 10 mile country drive. One bedroom on the ground floor has a double bed, One upstairs bedroom has a double bed and the other 2 twins. Maine has a rich literary history - and if you are bringing your kids, grab a copy of some Robert McCloskey favorites; One Morning In Maine, Burt Dow Deep Water Man, Time of Wonder. We can give you directions to Condon's Garage so you can eat ice cream by the harbor and read these iconic books to your kids. Burt Dow's headstone is only a short drive from there, and the locals regularly adorn it with a painted buoy. We like to think Giggling Gull visits from time to time. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On the bay ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33510000/33508100/33508009/b0485a4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secluded Oceanfront Cabin With Private Cove and Beach Brooksville - Sea view - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=33508009&PinnedHotelID=33508009&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34020000/34014800/34014722/270-596070bd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautifully Renovated 4 Bedroom Farmhouse Brooksville - Hot tub - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 95 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=34014722&PinnedHotelID=34014722&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/26000000/25140000/25134800/25134711/7c6f7b61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tranquil Lakefront Cottage Near Acadia Nat’l Park.
