About this house rental

Tucked away on a private 1.5 acre property, this beautiful oceanfront retreat, just across the Cousins Island bridge, is a stone's throw to historic Yarmouth Village and minutes to Portland's renowned art scene, restaurants and unique boutiques, the charming town of Bath, Freeport's famous outlet shopping, and plenty of scenic day trips and adventures from Kennebunkport to Camden. Built by an inventor, this home is sure to delight with many clever inventions throughout. The home is filled with original art from Maine artists and artisans many of whom work and study in the premises 'off season'.

Every room overlooks gorgeous Casco Bay. The main floor features an eat-in-kitchen, formal dining room, library/computer room, living room and powder room. The second floor offers two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the master with a king or twin beds), a sitting room and bathroom with shower and tub. The lower level features a third bedroom(king or twin) with bath. The family room and media center has direct access to the patio, deck and grounds. A wet bar with a wine refrigerator and mini kitchen service the downstairs entertainment area. The grilling patio area with solo fire pit is perfect for outside entertaining. A third double bedroom (with twin beds), a separate laundry room completes the lower level.

The secluded setting features a large stone and brick terrace and path leading to a waterside viewing deck and a private deep-water dock. When launched the resident 38' Morris yacht with Captain is available for day charters or sunset cruises. Kick back, relax and enjoy the exquisite views, glorious sunsets--and experience the magic of Maine.

Tamson is an amazing hostess! She is available and just lovely to be with. The location of this property is fantastic. Waterfront. Easy access to Portland, Freeport, lobster, and Whoopie Pies! I believe Tamson is looking to make some upgrades. Most specifically we would like to suggest brand new bedding, and at least window a/c units. We also struggled a bit with ants, the TV, and hot water in the shower. Having said that, Tamson is so eager to make your stay wonderful we are sure she will take any suggestions to heart. Thank you so much!!! Sue, Ron, and Ben

Maine has been our "go-to" fall vacation, and especially as we've stayed here on Cousin's Island for about 4-5 times. Not only is the property amazing (cozy & charming house with breathtaking views, privacy, close to an incredible town, Yarmouth, and 30" from Portland) but the owner, Tamson, has been so incredibly generous and hospitable we've developed a friendship over our love for Maine, New-England in general, and travels/more. We can't speak more highly of our stay!

It was a wonderful stay at the artist retreat cottage. Three couples gathered to enjoy the coast of Maine - Tamson's home was a comfortable, cozy and great location! It was a steamy, humid start to our week and required all fans going strong (plenty of fans, no a/c). Cousins Island is dreamy in the summertime and we hope to be back.

A magical cottage close enough to Portland and surrounding areas so that everything is convenient. But you won’t want to leave. The view from the house is enchanting. Cousins Island is beautiful with water every way you turn. The night sky and general quiet of the area are amazing. Plus, one could spend days just looking at all the artwork in the house. Tamson is a wonderful host, friendly and energetic. She made sure we knew about events going on in Yarmouth during our visit, provided restaurant recommendations, and made us feel at home. Plus, she’s right next door and so always available. Note: Some of the furniture in the current set of photos has been moved to different rooms, and there is much more outdoor furniture than shown. With so many places to sit outside, it’s easy to spend the day moving from sun to shade and back again a few of times without sitting in the same place.

Perfect stay for our annual fall trip. The accommodations were spectacular. Right on the water and extremely quiet. Tamson was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Will be back again!
