About this cottage rental
Welcome artists, nature lovers and those seeking solitude!
In the quaint fishing village of Jonesport Maine, there lies one of the only white sand beaches in Downeast Maine, Sandy River Beach. In this eclectic, somewhat primitive cottage, you can witness the most beautiful sunrises on one of the most eastern points of the United States, you can listen to the seagulls cry and the squeal of laughter on the beach. You can also enjoy the late afternoon summer sun as you enjoy your cocktail while your toes are in the sand. And you can fall asleep in the evening listening to the surf and feeling the rhythm of its heart.
The Sweet Pea cottage is a 1 bedroom, 3/4 bath oceanfront retreat. You will be as cozy as two peas in a pod!
Simple amenities include gas stove/oven and space heater, fridge, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, small screen for DVD player, picnic table and WIFI. The bedroom has a queen size bed. Bathroom has shower stall...a longer shower proves you may have a very refreshing cool finish! There are a few board games to play and rocking chairs to read in.
The Sweet Pea is nestled between spruce trees and has its own beach access through the sweet peas and dune grass. The white sand greets you 20' feet from your door. Simple pleasures abound for the artist, the writer/reader or anyone who wants to escape the chaos of everyday life and enjoy the reflective and refreshing Downeast environment.
You may visit the local lobster wharfs for your dinner or visit Beals Island for your steamers and mussels. The sweet crabmeat is my favorite!
On days off the beach you may enjoy the Downeast Institute of Marine Biology, hike the trails of the Nature Conservancy of Great Wass Island, kayak to neighboring islands to observe bald eagles, loons and seals, and within an hour you can visit Bar Harbor or the most eastern point of the United States. You can even bring your fishing gear and golf clubs, catch a theatrical performance at the University of Maine in Machias or listen to visiting musicians perform in the Peabody Memorial Library.
Jonesport, America (the only Jonesport in America!) is a small fishing village which includes a grocery, two convenience stores/gas stations, two full service banks, multiple churches, medical center, gift shops, a take out and pizza shop, hardware, lumber yard, marina and campground.
The Sweet Pea Cottage continues to be 'improved' every year.
2019 includes are a drilled well, improved driveway.
2020 a new roof and updates in bedroom and bath.
Owners are often next door for any needed assistance.
Please come share the unique experience of beach living with us!
It is simple, quiet and simply beautiful!

Terrific location for a quiet week's get away. Good base for the great hiking on Wass Island, around Cutler and onward toward Lubec.
Accommodating hosts, comfortable cottage, nice sandy beach and A+ sunrises.

This is the 4th or 5th time I've stayed in the Sweet Pea cabin. It Has everything you need and a view that Can't be matched. Sunrises that are stunning. From taking early morning walks on the beach, to reading a good book while listening to the waves. Ample opportunity to beach comb. The hosts care a lot for their properties. They are clean, the kitchen well stocked with ample information on local things to do. A great place to spend a vacation.

We seek peace and quiet away from touristy places where we can take in all that nature has to offer in Downeast Maine. The Sweetpea gives us that and more. Simplicity of living to break away from the busyness of everyday life. We consider the cottage our home away from home. Dawn and Mark make us feel so at home we return year after year.

This little Sweet Pea cottage is a gem along Maine's Bold Coast. The cottage is meticulously maintained with all attention to detail, coziness, and cleanliness. The owners are attentive, available and just kind folks who love the coast. The very best times we had at Sweet Pea were watching the ebb and flow of the tides and the fog, seeing the fog lift to provide wicked sunshine, and searching for sea glass on Sandy Beach. Our time at Sweet Pea was just as the pictures present and even better. We loved exploring the surrounding townships of Jonesport and talking with the people who live and love everything Maine. Thank you and we'd love to be quests again.

We enjoyed our stay, it is a nice place right on the water. Only thing that I was not 100% satisfied with was the checkout time. I think 9am is a little early for a checkout time.

Only feet from a quiet Sandy beach, this cottage is a wonderful peaceful refuge where you can slow down and relax. Dawn and Mark are friendly and responsive hosts who think of everything. This was our second visit and we’ll be back!

This cottage was absolutely adorable, it had everything we needed. The view was perfect sitting in the living room with the ocean at our front door. We will definitely be back again.

Rustic cottage on a sandy beach well away from the tourist attractions. Perfect location to sit back and enjoy the beautiful Maine coast. Hosts are incredibly welcoming and have put much love into this quaint little cottage. Perfect place to relax and getaway from it all.

The Sweetest Cottage in Maine
We continue to return to this gem of a property located on a sandy beach with amazing views of the ocean and a few islands. As you cross the short path to the sea you will see wild sweet pea flowers among the sea grass. As you walk along the beach from end to end you will see nature at it’s best and a few friendly faces too!

Maine beach shanty
We had a lovely time in this amazing spot! We loved exploring Maine (we hiked in Acadia and other spots of the Bold Coast) and then coming back to the little shanty to soak up the beach, which was quiet and gorgeous. It is a very rural area, which we loved, good for those who want to be closer to nature than lots of action and people. The shanty has a few quirks that come with an older place, but the spot it is in more than makes up for them. Hosts were easy to reach and helpful.

Glorious ocean view
Location is amazing- 180 degree views of the ocean with spectacular sunrises. Dawn has put in a million little touches- power strips in the bedroom, more than one dish towel, the only place we've stayed where there was actually a sharp knife- all the little things that make life easier. House is right on the beach, which made beach walks so easy. Loved our time here.

Gem of a location.
This piece of heaven is so breath taking that there are really no way to explain it. I have never relaxed at a place so much in my life.. I would spend a lifetime there if I could . Dawn and Mark bend over backwards to help anyway they can while giving you the space you desire. Perfect

Slice of beach heaven in Maine!
The Sweet Pea has everything you need for a relaxing beach cottage getaway. It's located directly on the beach - we enjoyed beautiful sunrises and fell asleep listening to the waves every night. We enjoyed exploring around Jonesport and all of the comforts of home at the Sweet Pea. Dawn and Mark are wonderful hosts who have thought of everything!

Stunning setting
This welcoming quaint beach cottage was exactly what one thinks of when they want to get away from everything and find peace and solace, even if it’s only for a few days. It is set in a picturesque bay where the sunrise greets you and moonrise settles you in for the evening. Wildlife abounds in this naturally kept beachfront. The owners are very friendly, easy to talk to and very accommodating. We enjoyed our time with them and look forward to returning.

Simple classic beach cottage. 25' from house to sandy beach in "down East" Maine. Many choices for fresh seafood. Many shore and woods walks nearby. Mark and Dawn are kind and thoughtful people who share this special place, Thanks!
