About this house rental

The vacation home is located off the main road at the end of a quiet street on a piece of land with access to beaches on both sides of the house. This is a serene and tranquil writers or painters paradise steps away from the shoreline with exceptional water views. This house is clean, has a fully stocked kitchen, has all linens, is well-kept and ready for your enjoyment
This is a beautiful, bright, cheery, home with stunning panoramic views and a grassy lawn that stretches to the edge of the shoreline. There are two decks and deck chairs, a propane grill and propane fire-pit for your enjoyment, as well as an outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

The beautiful fishing village of Milbridge is across the bay only a 5 minute drive. Fickett's Point house provides beauty, peace and privacy. You can take in the breath-taking sunset views over the water on one side and sunrise views on the other.

If you like the sound of the ocean waves at night you will love this comfortable two bedroom home. We have wireless internet and a smart TV in the livingroom, or curl up next to the propane woodstove in the library. Have breakfast at the picture window with a view of the sunrise and the seven islands. Relax in the sunroom surrounded by open screened windows and breath in the salty summer breeze, You can enjoy the view from the deck or from sitting on a rock at the water's edge. Anywhere here you will enjoy the feeling of being on a peninsula on the coast of Maine.

Both beaches are private and easily accessible, either a lightly sloped walk down a grassy path to a sand beach for swimming or an 8-step stairway down to a rocky beach to sit and gaze at the Seven Island view. You can launch a boat at the marina a mile down the road and cruise around the coast or easily pull a canoe or kayak down to the shore directly in front of the house. There is nice kayaking and canoeing all around the vicinity. The house is great for a husband and wife private getaway or a retreat for vacationers wanting a quiet and scenic place to forget their worries and just relax. Children will love the diverse collection of shells, beach-glass and things to find while beach-combing at low tide.
This house accommodates 4 comfortably. All new appliances and fully outfitted for a restful vacation.

How far? The house is 1½ hours east of Bangor and the Bangor International Airport. 4½ hours northeast of Portland, 5½ hours from Boston and 10½ hours from New York City. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor is a one hour drive down the coast.

What's nearby? Petit Manan is worth seeing as is Milbridge's own McClellan Park.
Schoodic Point and Acadia National Park. Also Campobello Island, New Brunswick (FDR's summer home) is within an hour and a half, as is the Bold coast up to Quoddy Head the easternmost lighthouse in the US.

Lobsters and clams are readily available in Milbridge (lobster and clam pots provided with cottage). This is one of the largest wild blueberry producing areas in the world, so there are plenty of berries available nearby during the season (late July through August); berry picking is permitted at Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge in season.

Activities in this part of Maine include hiking the Petit Manan Coastal Wildlife Refuge trails, visiting the pink granite shores at McClellan Park in Milbridge, exploring the crashing surf at Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor, hiking the Bold Coast up in Cutler, visiting the wonderful Milbridge historical society museum and, of course, checking out the tourist attractions in Bar Harbor.

We visited Down East Maine for the third time and never regretted the long way from Germany. The stunning sea- and landscapes with their beautiful fauna and flora have always attracted us, and through most of the time the weather was pleasant. Staying at Seven Islands View Cottage made our journey perfect. It's amazing location with access to private beaches, the comfortable interior and well stocked kitchen made us feel at home from the very beginning. To our great delight we observed ospreys and two resident bald eagles from the site and were frequently "visited" by a deer and even once by her baby. Brian was a discreet caretaker, always at our disposal and gave us valuable hints. We've been using VRBO vacation rentals for many years, and this home was one of the best we've ever stayed at.

I could live at this house! It was even better than we expected. It’s so big with so much room. I loved eating breakfast at the picnic table while listening to the ocean. The first morning a deer walked right through the yard while I was out there. The drive to Bar Harbor/Acadia is around an hour, but it was worth it to wake up here and come back to the beach in the evening. There’s also everything in the house you will need. I cooked one night, and it’s a very well stocked kitchen. We really appreciated access to the washer and dryer. My only thought for the owner is that there’s so much room and the beds are small. We have two teenage sons who didn’t want to sleep in a double bed together, so one slept on the couch in the sun room. It worked out perfect, but those rooms could definitely fit larger beds. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone!

This trip to Maine was beautiful, and peaceful, and reenergizing, and it all starts and end with this home. The owner was so thoughtful, even reaching out once when finding out traffic may be altered in town. The check-in was seamless. The sounds of the ocean and the views will leave you in awe. The house is quaint, but furnished well, and gas plenty of room for family members to spread out and not feel like they're on top of one another throughout the week. I cannot thank them enough for sharing this property with my family.

Great time in a beautiful location close to tourist attractions but away from the craziness when needed

The description of the property is spot on. The photos are an excellent representation. You feel embraced by all of the pictures and memorabilia that immerse you in this family’s seaside treasure that spans at least four generations of Maine coastal history. The place was larger than we imagined with an amazing den and sunroom. The two of us were able to spread out and read, write, puzzle, and relax. Four would be very comfortable here. There is rocky seaside to the east and to the south and on the west look for the “Beach Path” sign that leads to a long, wide, sandy beach. Kitchen was well-stocked and even included everything needed for a lobster feast. Very clean and communication was instant and very friendly. The only minor drawback was the wifi. (Though chances are you’re here to relax—not use the internet!) I had a little writing stuff to work on so fortunately there was a router and a hotspot so we had two sources to enhance bandwidth. It was okay for writing, research, and surfing, but each source was only 2-4 mbps so streaming was limited and glitched. I don’t think you could count on it for virtual meetings. Aside from that it was probably one of the very best vacation rentals in our 40+ years of using BnBs and vacation rentals.

The location is beautiful view of the ocean. It was a little ways from the attractions we were visiting but we knew that when we signed up. It had all the amenities we needed.

We are long time VRBO home renters, and this home by far was one of the cleanest and most inviting homes we have stayed in. The home owners have everything that is needed for a comfortable stay. From the rocking chairs in the library where we enjoyed morning coffee and overlooked the water to the fire pit in the evening. The kitchen was fully stocked. All towels and linens provided. The home was close to town and a short drive to many beautiful hiking trails. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. Would definitely love to visit again!
