About this house rental

Imagine discovering a property with three (3) dwellings nested perfectly to ensure exceptional view corridors to the sea, while also allowing a family or professional group to mingle but also elude each other.

Delight in a well-appointed, not stuffy but comfortable, secluded compound. A place you can nap after tennis, enjoy a good coffee and book, or stay up late under the stars sipping wine with old friends and laughing effortlessly.

Now consider that it’s in the most adorable seaside village in Maine. A legendary and near mythical village- with a local cast of characters not soon forgotten.

This is an extraordinary bundling of three structures on the same property. A Big House, adjacent Tiny House and a new Carriage House. This allows a pod of friends & family to gather together, dine under the moon or also isolate with their immediate family for indoor dining, etc.

Our home is airy and light-filled; south-facing with ample decks, terraces and even a rooftop lounge from which to take in the salty air and sea breezes; enjoy a shared meal al fresco or play board games with family and friends. In other words our cottage compound is designed specifically to induce relaxation and restore tranquility.

The lot sits high atop a hill in Castine with panoramic views of the bay, it is south-facing; ensuring lots of sunshine and, aside from a neighbor to the West, quiet and private -unlike most in Castine.

Eight bedrooms yet with ability to accommodate others -on fold out couches, etc -means the price/ person is cheaper that a youth hostel but as splendid as any area hotel. In other words it’s a great value, leaving plenty of hard-earned dollars left over for lobster rolls, ice cream and frozen drinks!

Simply put, it all came together in the last two years: the Tiny House (guest bedroom and/or Zoom room) and Carriage House enjoining the Big House to create an idyllic retreat space -especially during this difficult chapter we’ve all found ourselves.

Skip the elevators and daily change overs, the license plates from ‘round the country and the hustle and bustle of nearby Bar Harbor- this summer treat yourself and your loved ones to a private estate, near to almost anything you desire (tennis, golf, hiking and biking, beach fires and s’mores!) but yet far from stranger danger!

Travel Downeast and rusticate at Ted & Yuriy’s summah place!

This was the perfect property for our family of 14 people. We had plenty of room to be together when we wanted to be, which was most of the time, and freedom to do to have quiet time apart. Castine is a beautiful, small New England village with its common surrounded by picturesque New England houses along side of the ocean. The people were very friendly. Easy access to the beach. Plenty of things to do or not. Ted Regan, proprietor of the property, was very accommodating and helpful in any way, and easily reached.

Good location, can accommodate large group in 3 houses, many activities available. Our family has travelled around the world and I would not recommend this rental unless the owner make a major cleaning to eliminate the bad odour of the rugs (cats and dogs are allowed but we have none), moles and spiders.

These 3 houses were perfect for our family reunion! There was room for all 3 generations to gather together for games in the BH and the CH. This meant that there was also always a place to go for anyone who just wanted to read or nap. The kitchens were set up for actual meal making and the yard was beautiful. Ted was a tremendous host and immediately available to answer questions.

Gorgeous place, comfortable, and overall fantastic experience!

This is a GORGEOUS property. The house is very comfortable and plenty of room. The gardens are beautiful, lush, and fragrant! I loved the tiny house! I could live in it! Everything is top notch. THE BEST cookware we have ever used in a rental. Nice dishes and glassware. So nice to have top of the line grills available, and gas cook tops!!! We actually cooked several meals because we enjoyed just relaxing in the beautiful space. The owner is super nice and everything went smoothly. I don't think there is enough space to write all I want to write here. Fresh flowers in vases awaited us. Chocolate!! A sweet thank you note. The place and spaces are extremely well thought out. Comfortable beds, nice hot water pressure in the showers. Pet friendly! If you are looking for an over the top nice place to stay and an owner who truly cares about his property and his guests, look no further! Thanks Ted for being such an awesome host!!!

Perfect for Multiple Families

Perfect for Multiple Families

Ted's Castine Coastal Compound was the perfect location for our family reunion. We used the Big House for my mom and the three siblings/spouses and the Carriage House for the adult children (two couples and two singles). This allowed the whole family to gather together in the BH and gave the cousins their own space to hang out together. The Tiny House came in handy for people to work during the day and for folks to gather later at night without disturbing those who went to bed. It's an easy (and pretty) mile walk into the town of Castine, which has two very good restaurants, an excellent bakery/breakfast spot, a seafood lunch shack and a small grocery store. There are plenty of other restaurants and cities/attractions within 30-40 minutes from Castine and Acadia is a little over an hour away. Plenty to do if you want to keep busy and very relaxing if that what you are looking for. Teds' Summah Guide provided ideas for dining and activities and he was always just a quick text or phone call away if we had any questions. Everyone at the reunion was extremely pleased with the location, which was nice since I selected it :). I highly recommend the Coastal Compound for family gatherings (it can sleep many more than we had if you have a larger family).

Wow!! Truly a special place!

Wow!! Truly a special place!

This was absolute perfection for our family get together: enough space for privacy and enough space for meals, games and just being together. The house was comfy and well-appointed- everything from olive oil to umbrellas. Ted was wonderful about communication and had helpful info for the surrounding area. Castine was lovely and the bioluminescent kayaking was a lifetime highlight for many of us!
