Evensong: Oceanview Retreat with Dock

Unobstructed Water Views of The Annisquam in this newly-renovated "walls of glass" home boasting panoramic views of The Mill River, Jones Creek, Wingaersheek Beach & beyond to the mountains of Maine. Deeded Water access available for enthusiastic kayakers or paddle boarders (please feel free to bring them with you). Enjoy our new dock (which is removed between November-April), shared with our neighbors below us. With a click of the remote cozy up to the gas fireplace & watch egrets, blue heron & cormorants as they glide over the water's surface all from the comfort of your home. Bask in the beauty of spectacular sunsets. Every day is a nature show!

You won't miss a beat in this 1,600 square foot home with an open concept floor plan lending itself to views no matter where you are, even while preparing dinner in the Chef's kitchen featuring a Viking Stove, granite counters, back lit cabinetry & snack bar. Large composite deck with cable rail off the master bedroom overlooking the expanse of water. Young children would require supervision on the roofdeck. Our home features an outdoor grill, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and sleeps 6-8. New washing machine and dryer on the first floor. It's a quick trip to the beach by paddleboard or kayak or a short drive to several local beaches, Halibut Point, more restaurants, museums, hiking, and quarries. Owners live locally and have a basement apartment (with separate entrance) at the property and will be available for questions/special requests. This is a perfect home for a friends or family retreat. Please no loud parties, as we live in a residential neighborhood.

Everything was perfect! The view was overwhelmingly beautiful, and sunsets were a highlight. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to navigate. The bedrooms were so cozy and comfy. The bathrooms were beautiful, especially the double shower head one upstairs. Modern and traditional all at once. If I come back to Massachusetts, this is where I'll be staying again.

Pre-Holiday Couples Getaway

We absolutely loved this property! All of the comforts of home and even some extra touches that made it even more special like binoculars for bird watching and some local beer. Beds were comfortable, plenty of blankets and a very cozy fireplace. I would not hesitate to stay again, stop scrolling if you’re looking to stay in the area!

We had a wonderful stay over the holidays with my family of five. Katie was very welcoming and communicative from the start. The house was fully stocked with dishes, linens, coffee, spices and all the basics for cooking. She even left eggs and half and half so that we would have something for our first morning. The views were breathtaking, the fire was cozy on the many cold evenings, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were well designed with excellent water pressure. Katie communicated quickly throughout our stay. I highly recommend this spot!

This property is absolutely charming and its owner/manager, Katie, ensures that your stay is wonderful. We enjoyed a beautiful, relaxing week of ever-changing and expansive water views.

60th Birthday Celebration

Property was exactly what we expected due to the great pictures posted! Great location, amazing view and would definitely stay again! There were 6 of us, 2 couples and my 2 adult daughters. We each had our own bathrooms, the kitchen was stocked with all the tools and equipment needed to cook but mostly we ate out. We had a blast!
