About this cottage rental

Take a full week or two to enjoy collecting sea glass and watching for seals at this three-bedroom, two bath, 1840’s oceanfront cottage fully updated with high end appliances and whimsical décor.

Nestled on over 2 acres on the shores of Johnson Bay, this weekly summer rental cottage provides the perfect seaside getaway. Enjoy morning coffee from the eat-in kitchen or from the sitting area of your bedroom overlooking the ocean. Follow up breakfast with a stroll down to 100’ feet of private beach on the bay. Take a 20-minute walk from the cottage to historic Lubec Village or hop in the car for a short drive to Quoddy Head State Park, Hamilton Beach, the Cutler Coast, or Campobello Island (passport required). Come home from the day’s adventures to relax and enjoy the sounds of birds in the cedars that bracket your view of Diamond Point and lobster boats moored by Rodgers Island. Go to sleep next to a fire downstairs or sleep under the stars upstairs under the skylights.

The house has been lovingly restored over the last two years and features a stacked washer and dryer, stainless steel kitchen appliances, two gas fireplaces, a gas grill, keyless entry, air-conditioning and free internet. Check out the original wood beams in the downstairs bedroom and parlor, soak the day’s hike away in the original restored clawfoot tub and explore a secret staircase original to the house.

The updates on the house were very nice and there was plenty of space for our family of 6. The beach is very unique and the amount of sea glass is crazy. The Beach could be a little cleaner.

The house was charming. The location was great. Robert was great to work with. It was a 25 hour road trip for us. And we're planning on doing it again — and with kids — if that tells you anything. Tell Sweat Pea we said hey!

We enjoyed staying at your darling blue house. This was our 6th stay in Lubec. The familiarity with the area is uppermost. Your lovely home was very comfortable and well decorated and user friendly. The closeness to the water was fantastic. Walking on the beach with the tide out, we found small rocks and sea glass. We definitely will be contacting you in the future for a chance to stay in your home. Tony and Judy Garofali

We love the Lubec area and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rob and Jennifer’s lovely cottage. With the view of Johnson’s Bay and the beach access, we were content to spend time relaxing at our home away from home. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, and well equipped. We hope to return soon! The Halls

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our 4-night stay at the cottage and found the property to be exactly as advertised. The cottage has been beautifully renovated with modern updates, yet a balance between old and new has been wonderfully achieved. We cooked each evening and found the modern kitchen to contain all that we needed, and the grill on the deck was a nice bonus that we took advantage of. The late afternoon sun on the deck with a view out to the ocean made for a special setting to enjoy beverages after busy days exploring the area. At low tide we also walked along the beach in front of the cottage. The bedroom we used was upstairs, had a view of the ocean and was comfortable. The location was perfect for us. It is very close to town without being too close, thus providing for a quieter, private and relaxing experience. We had easy access to Lubec, Campobello Island, West Quoddy Head State Park, the Cutler Coast Public Lands, as well convenient access to the route to Eastport, Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge and other places where we hiked and explored along the coast. You cannot beat the location. Rob and Jennifer are wonderful hosts and we are so glad we booked their cottage for our stay in Lubec. They have a keen eye for style and comfort and we would definitely stay at the cottage on future trips way Downeast.

This is a comfortable, charming 1840s farmhouse that has been freshly and stylishly renovated from top to bottom. It has a very convenient kitchen with an island table for easy gathering at meal time. We enjoyed games and puzzles in the family gathering area. The parlor provided a quiet retreat for conversation or work at the convenient desk. The back deck table and chairs was relaxing with a water view. We loved the easy path and stairs down to the beach on Johnson Bay, which is great for sea glass and pottery. Great for kids. In addition to enjoying the house, the location is fantastic for touring Lubec and Campobello. The house is a two minute drive from the historic village and three minutes from the bridge to Campobello. West Quoddy Head Light is about 10 minutes away. The town has a very good grocery store, coffee shop (Narrow Escape), pizza place (Morano’s), several satisfying restaurants and eateries (Fisherman’s Wharf, Cohills, Water Street Tavern, Small Town Take Out), and a great library (especially for kids). The playground at the Lubec Elementary School (two minute drive) is exceptional and fun. Rob and Jennifer were responsive and helpful hosts. We loved staying at the charming, comfortable, fresh home, a convenient launching point to explore this peaceful, beautiful place. We will be back!
