Tranquil Ocean Retreat

Offering a stunning oceanfront location where the water meets the rocky shores of Ocean Point, this light-filled home in East Boothbay is Midcoast Maine living at its finest. Almost every room - including each of the bedrooms and the separate guesthouse - provides a view of the ocean, allowing you to go about your daily activities in a truly spectacular setting.

Begin each day in the open kitchen, dining space, and living room, where you can take off the morning chill by throwing a log on the fireplace, admire the sunrise views of the coast through walls of windows, and sit down for pancakes prepared on the professional-grade gas range. Whether you're booked for a kayaking trip or a whale-watching excursion for the day, you'll come home to a gorgeous oceanfront deck where you can soak up in the sunshine in a rocking chair or enjoy an al fresco lunch of local lobster rolls. In the evenings, scroll through the Netflix and cable offerings on the living room TV or in the cozy upstairs media room as the day's clothes spin in the washer/dryer. When it's time to turn in, you'll have your choice of three charming queen bedrooms (one downstairs and two upstairs) in the main house, as well as a crow's nest loft that makes kids feel as though they're the captain of their own ship. In the separate guesthouse, you'll find a kitchenette and large picture windows that frame the ocean just outside.

This picturesque home is located on the tip of Ocean Point, a quick and scenic seven-mile drive from downtown Boothbay Harbor. With such close proximity to town, you'll be able to easily peruse the darling shops and art galleries, join local excursions with Tidal Transit Kayak Co., and pick up the freshest local seafood at Boothbay Lobster Wharf. Take beautiful morning strolls on the Ocean Point Walk just outside or through the Linekin and Burley Preserves less than two miles north. You'll also be only nine miles east of the legendary Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the ever-popular Maine State Aquarium.
