About this property

The Creek - Private Waterfront Retreat with Shore Access, Scenic Deck & Dog-Friendly Space

  • Welcome to The Creek, a private Penobscot Bay waterfront retreat with sweeping views, direct shore access, and a spacious deck made for morning coffee, evening barbecues, and quiet time by the water. Set back from the road on a large, peaceful property, this classic Maine home offers privacy, comfort, and room to unwind.

    Unlike many properties that simply advertise “shore access,” The Creek offers private approaches to the shoreline across its own land. While no shoreline in Maine can be described as fully private, it is rare to see others walking this stretch, giving guests a quiet and secluded waterfront experience. Walk the mowed paths toward the bay, explore tidal pools at low tide, look for sea glass, watch wildlife, or simply enjoy the changing view from the deck.

    Inside, the home is clean, spacious, comfortable, and well stocked for family stays, small gatherings, and relaxed coastal getaways. You'll find warm wood finishes, books, artwork, games, smart TVs, strong Wi‑Fi, comfortable beds, a practical kitchen, washer/dryer, multiple bathrooms, and air-conditioning in the main living/dining area and two of the three bedrooms. The home does not have whole-house central air-conditioning, but its coastal location helps keep it comfortable on most days.

    The Creek is minutes from Castine and Maine Maritime Academy and works well as a quiet home base for exploring Bucksport, Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Observatory, Sandy Point Beach, Acadia, Bar Harbor, Camden, Rockland, and the wider Penobscot Bay region.

    ​​​​​​​Whether you spend your days exploring the coast or decide to stay right on the property, The Creek offers privacy, water views, shore access, and an authentic Maine waterfront experience.
