About this property

Castine Coastal Escape – Paddle, Play & Unwind

  • Slow down, breathe in the salt air, and experience the magic of coastal Maine from this peaceful Castine retreat. Whether you're here for adventure or pure relaxation, this is the kind of place where lifelong memories are made.

    This charming getaway is sparkling with fresh energy under new management—but don’t let the lack of reviews fool you! The same dedicated owners, with over 50 years of loving care for this home, are still behind every thoughtful detail. Experience the tradition and warmth guests have enjoyed for decades, now with an exciting new touch!

    This cabin is one of four on our private waterfront property—family-run and welcoming guests since 1950. For generations, families have returned here year after year to experience a true Maine summer. Each cabin is fully separate, offering privacy while still being close enough for group gatherings. Traveling with a larger group? Rent multiple cabins—perfect for reunions, retreats, or trips with friends. Just message us and we’ll help coordinate availability!

    Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the water, then spend your days enjoying simple, timeless fun—challenge the kids to a game of croquet or wiffleball on the lawn, toss a frisbee in the open air, or launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle along the shoreline.


    Outdoor Living at Its Best
    Let the kids roam free and enjoy classic outdoor fun—set up a game of croquet on the lawn, organize a lively wiffleball match, or toss a frisbee in the open air. If you’d like to get out on the water, be sure to bring your own kayak or canoe, or rent one nearby, then enjoy a peaceful paddle surrounded by Maine’s natural beauty. Pack a picnic and head across to Mayo Point, or wind down with a serene sunset trip as the sky glows over the harbor.


    Spacious lawn for games, lounging, and family fun
    Easy access to the water for paddling and relaxing
    Perfect setting for sunsets, stargazing, and unplugging
