About this cottage rental

Ocean front home located at the end of a peninsula, on Fickett's Point in Milbridge, Maine. It is privately situated close to the ocean on three sides and a spectacular open view of the islands from the living room. This house is across the water from the town of Milbridge and has access to a sandy beach in back and a rocky beach in front.
Very quiet and very private.
You get 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 with a picture window and window seat in the living room looking out at the islands. Both beaches are private and easily accessible. 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.
The house is, and has been, immaculately clean. It is supplied with all the amenities. This house is cheery, comfortable and cozy with lots of natural light. It has plenty of room inside and truly spectacular views.
We have wireless high speed internet and a smart t.v. too. There is a new gas fireplace for quiet cozy evenings. The house is surrounded by water on three sides. There are two very accessible beaches, both private, included on the property. This is a very peaceful area situated at the tip of a peninsula. This is the last house at the very end.
This house accommodates 4 (6 if you want to put a couple children on the roll away beds). 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.

What's nearby? Acadia National Park. Also Campobello Island, New Brunswick (FDR's summer home) is within an hour and a half, as is Quoddy Head, 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.

The house is comfortable, clean, incredibly well equipped, private, safe, and quiet. It is located on a point with water on three sides. You always know you are on the coast of Maine. There is easy access to the water including the ability to kayak from shore. It is a short drive into town to buy groceries and access restaurants. Beautiful hikes in the various parks are also easily accessible.

If you’re looking for privacy, natural beauty and clean accommodations, this is the perfect rental. It’s not fancy or modern but it provides everything you need and there’s a peaceful feeling the minute you walk in. The owner and groundskeeper are easy to contact. Fresh lobster and other seafood are available at Chipman’s Wharf just down the street. Boat tours, pier fishing is all available. If you have kids or grandkids they will have plenty of room to run and go to the private beach for shells. We loved it.

Well appointed and cozy house, with everything you could want - from toiletries to cookware! But! The location!! Superb for relaxation - amazing views and the sound of waves, so peaceful. Literally steps to the water, on most sides of the house. Ideal location for stargazing. Milbridge itself is such cute town, everything we needed for food was a short drive away.

We loved the property. We spent time on the beaches and climbing on the rocks of the shoreline. We were glad to have the large lobster pot and the yard games in the garage. The fireplace was inviting and cozy. We would definitely stay here again.

A perfect Maine vacation spot. Nice but not pretentious. Everything you need but not too modern. I mean that in the best way possible. Enjoyed the quiet time with the family after a day out exploring the region.

My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing time. We enjoyed looking for shells on the private beaches and sitting by the indoor fireplace in the evenings. The house was very clean and except for food of course, had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Maine.
