About this property
Pine scented & ocean kissed!
Entering our 5th year of hosting rentals! Oceanfront 1 floor living on 13+ acres with open concept kitchen/dining/living space on the Narraguagus Bay. Wake to the sunrise and lobster boats heading out to haul their traps, fall asleep to the calming sound of the tide rolling in or out. Unplug and enjoy the expansive view of the bay and open ocean. Explore the 493’ of bold coast frontage. Quiet and peaceful yet less than 5 miles to town where you will find amenities such as dining, grocery, gas, and gift shops.
Come visit Maine and find out why it’s called “Vacationland” and “The Way Life Should Be”.
Milbridge is a sweet coastal town well situated for many adventures. Visit the eastern-most spot in the US and the picturesque West Quoddy Lighthouse in Lubec. Or head to the Schoodic region of Acadia National Park and avoid the crowds that flock to the larger portion of the park on Mount Desert Island. Take a day trip to Campobello Island (bring your passport) and take a step back in history to the way President FDR spent his summers. There are many local artisans and galleries to visit. Take a private lobster boat tour with Captain Robertson right here in town and check out the puffins at Petit Manan Lighthouse! If you enjoy being physically active there are countless hiking trails and an extensive biking trail called The Downeast Sunrise Trail. There are plenty of places to kayak as well. You’ll run out of time for everything on your list because you won’t want to leave the peacefulness of homebase. No matter if you choose a fast or slow paced vacation, this is the perfect spot for you!
There are wonderful dining options right in Milbridge as well as a number of favorites within a short drive. Or cook at home in the well stocked kitchen and enjoy your dinner outside on the deck. You can pick up your fresh-off-the-boat lobster and other sea creatures just 2.5 miles down the road at Chipman’s Wharf. Grab a bottle of local blueberry wine or coastal white to go with that meal at nearby Barlett Winery.
Milbridge features a local summer concert series in town on Friday nights and don’t miss Incredible Edible Milbridge and the free organic community gardens. This little town has some big spirit!
*New in 2022, a Ring doorbell is installed which shows ONLY the driveway/approach to front door. It does not show the back deck or anything inside the home. Primarily installed for off season security.

We can't say enough about Amanda and family's lovely, lovely home. Everything is totally ready for guests--a fully stocked kitchen, an unmatched view, beautifully decorated home and a beautiful area close to lots of hiking, delicious seafood and DownEast adventures! We can't wait to go back!
Whether inside, on the deck, or on the rocky shore, this property offers views galore. We also enjoyed hiking at Petit Manan, along the Bold Coast and Campobello Island, plus a gorgeous sunset cruise aboard the Polaris Jack, which sails from South Addison. The house is a great location for outdoor activities, and having Shipman's Wharf nearby for seafood was a nice bonus.
Amanda and her family have created an absolute haven on the ocean! We have rented several times on VRBO and have never seen a home so thoughtfully equipped for vacationers. The kitchen has so many tools and pans for cooking and baking, and the sturdy folding chairs for campfire times were really appreciated. The location is stunning and the house is beautifully appointed. We can't wait to go back!
Aside from the incredible location/view/beach this was the best provisioned house we’ve ever stayed at…from instructions, to local recommendations, to supplies the owners thought of everything.
We've stayed in many rental homes and this is by far our favorite! The location in the woods, yet on the coast is perfection. We love being away from the "hubub". The home is clean and comfortable and is equipped with everything you can possibly need. We hiked the woods, fished off the rocks, enjoyed a lobster tour, drove Schoodic Point, went foraged for mushrooms and of course enjoyed all the seafood Maine is famous for! Our host Amanda was a pleasure to work with. I hope one day to have the opportunity to return to this lovely home.
We had a great and relaxing time at this property. Everything was absolutely perfect. The home was clean and nicely decorated and the owners provided everything that you could need. The views were amazing! I would definitely recommend staying at this home. The owner Amanda was great too!
4 of us stayed here. My husband and i and another couple. It was perfect
The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Very secluded which we liked. The views of the ocean were stunning and just a nice amount of pines sorrounding. Check in was so easy and the property owner very easy to contact and talk to. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was very clean and the view is spectacular. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a family vacation. The owners are extremely help and takes care of any problem you might have.
This place is AWESOMESAUCE!!!!!!!!
Thanks

We loved our stay at Pine Scented and Ocean Kissed! Beautiful, clean home. Our girls loved going out on the rocks and searching in the tidal pools. Beautiful view of the ocean! So relaxing. Amanda was wonderful- quick responses to questions and provided us with ideas of things to do and see. Definitely recommend this vacation home to anyone looking for a wonderful time in Maine! Erin M.
The house was as pictured with all the amenities supplied. The area was quaint and rural, off the beaten path with sights and events an hour or so away. Downtown Milbridge had whatever we needed. The views from the house and deck were a postcard picture. The house was clean and comfortable. The host responded quickly to any question. We would recommend a stay at this property.
Pine scented and ocean kissed is the best rental we have ever stayed in!! It was everything plus more! Amanda and Mark have thought of everything you could ever need or want. The house is impeccable, fully stocked, and has gorgeous views, a fun beach with exciting tidal pools, an awesome fire pit, and a great quiet location. Amanda provided wonderful recommendations for hikes, restaurants and a boat tour. We loved Chipman's Wharf, the Knotty Lobster, and breakfast at the Milbridge House Restaurant all in Milbridge. We had the most amazing 5 hour private boat tour with Captain Jamie from Roberterson's Sea Adventures filled with over 100 seals, peregrin falcons, 3 lighthouses, and many other birds. Acadia was phenomenal, especially Raven's Nest, Otters Point, and Cadillac Mt. We can't thank Amanda and Mark enough for sharing their wonderful home and providing such great advice on things to do. We will definitely be back!
We loved our stay. It has all the conveniences of ac, laundry, etc with a beautiful view. The kids enjoy so much time exploring the rocky coast. While I did do a quick swim (I’m a strong swimmer) I would not recommend it if are looking to spend a lot of time swimming. The rocky coast, plus the waves make entry and exit quite a feat.
Overall, and beautiful and joyful experience.
This is the first time we have stayed this far north as we are used to midcoast (Boothbay/Pemaquid). We loved the quiet and less populated area but still having the conveniences of a grocery store and coffee. We enjoyed our stay at Pine scented and Ocean Kissed. It was comfortable and clean and well appointed. The location is great if you like a rocky beach and the sound of ocean waves! We miss getting up early and watching the sun rise and just staring at the water.
I've been looking for the perfect Maine vacation home. The ragged coast line, on the ocean, etc. This year, i found it. Close enough to Schoodic and Acadia, yet far away from the noise of tourists. The house is stunningly designed to take advantage of the beautiful coast. There was nothing missing, right down to the Welcome sign in the master bedroom. Thank you for a beautiful week in the place that truly rejuvenates the soul.
This property is nothing short of spectacular. This is our second stay in two years and we’ll be coming back again in 2025.
The coast of Maine is such a joy to visit, with all of the cozy, local family owned restaurants, all of the local shopping, and all of the local characters.
This property is exceptional. The location of the property, the cleanliness of the property and all of the significant amenities make this the most peaceful and amazing stay in any VRBO we’ve been at. My 99-year-old mother loves this property. It was her second stay.
Amanda‘s response to any concern is immediate and she always resolves the issue with professionalism and care.
I would recommend this property to anyone who enjoys privacy, sitting on a deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and hearing the waves crash off the rocks. This truly is a slice of heaven.
An outstanding experience from start to finish. The homeowner (Amanda) is EXCEPTIONAL in communicating details regarding ANY aspect of the trip, prior to, during and even after the stay. Her enthusiasm and positive can-do attitude are phenomenal. She will get our business repeatedly in the future. The pics don't do the home and property justice. You've simply got to stay there to soak in all of the amazing sights, sounds and smells of this part of Maine. Simply an amazing experience.
We loved our stay here so much last year that we decided to return. The deck with its view is so peaceful. It’s only enhanced by the sound of the water. Having your own piece of the rocky coast with its tide pools is such a treat. The house itself looks like it should be on an HGTV show. It’s so tastefully decorated and welcoming. Everything you need is provided -from cookware, to games, spices and even a fondue pot. The hosts are incredible and it’s evident they enjoy sharing their home and making sure their guests have an incredible experience. If you are looking to visit Maine- you’ll definitely want to make this your home base.
My family agreed this was going to be a hard stay to beat. The house was spotless and the décor was amazing. The whole house gave you the coastal feeling. We loved exploring the coast and the tidal pools during low tide. We also loved utilizing the fire ring several nights!
The Host was excellent in communicating before, during, and after the stay. She left a binder full of wonderful suggestions on places to go and places to eat!
The location was perfect for us. We loved Milbridge. It was close enough to make day trips to everywhere we wanted, but away from the hustle and bustle.
If you are thinking of booking, I would say definitely go for it and you won’t be disappointed! We would gladly go back!
Amanda has been the easiest most organized person to work with! The home was breath taking and so warm and welcoming! Everything you needed was included all the way down to the pot and directions needed to steam the lobsters! Everything was clean and well organized! Every place we visited was about an hour from the house. Loved being secluded and private! Yet still close to a small town with all the essentails! The tide pools were a huge hit for our kids! And the view of our own little Acadia was perfect! Since posting pics on Facebook of our vacation I have had 3 friends asking for the VRBO listing! Thanks again to Amanda and her family for sharing their home with us!
This is the nicest home we have rented. The owners have thought of every detail. From skewers for roasting marshmallows to plastic wine glasses for outside, it’s all there! I am picky about cleanliness and this house was perfect.
We enjoyed spending time at the rocky shoreline directly in front of the house. We made some day trips to Acadia, Quoddy State Park, and Pigeon Hill as well. The kids loved the bedrooms and the small touches that were all throughout the house.
Everything is nice and high quality, the furniture, towels, etc. There was a comprehensive guest folder with suggested activities and great tips in the guest book as well.
My daughter prefers a more “action packed” trip so the 70 minute trip to Bar Harbor helped with that.
If you want a quiet, relaxing trip in downeast Maine, this is the spot!
Love the area, and having favorite seafood provider Chipman's just down the road a couple miles! Shop and Save in Milbridge 5 miles away, but prefer the Shop and Save in Columbia a bit further away (better stock). Hardware next to it as well with nice garden shop.
House was perfectly set up with everything on one single floor, though had a huge empty basement and upper level not used. Very clean with a large kitchen, nice laundry room. Loved the very big deck, spent many a nice happy hour out there with a glass of wine and listening to the waves.
This is a brand new house, that the owners are still setting up a bit. Did mention to owner about no storage in any of the bedrooms, but used the walk in closet to make do. Also no towel bars in the bathroom, but made do with that as well, no big deal. She may change things later. Another thing I also mentioned was lack of a teapot. So what does she do? The sweetheart sends me a brand new teapot and high end fancy tea. :-)
We saw whales and seals, and enjoyed the many birds in the area, including eagles and songbirds. Loved our time here, felt like home!
This property eclipsed all of our expectations! First off, the pictures don't do it justice. The pictures look great, but in person the space is incredible. We had a family of 5 that fit incredibly comfortably in this house with room to spare. The living room, dining room and tv area is one incredible space. We spent most of our time looking out the great picture window onto the coast.
The kitchen was extremely large and functional with all of the necessary accessories. We spent most nights cooking a fantastic dinner in the kitchen or on the outdoor grill.
The uniqueness of the house is the location. the coast is a quick 30 foot walk from the deck and is really unbelievable. We had three boys that spent hours everyday on this rocky coast. It provided huge boulders for climbing and a low and high tide for exploring sea life. The property also offers a fantastic fire pit right on the coast with a fantastic view of the water and the rising moon. We spent almost every night around the fire pit.
Lastly, we found the location perfect for many day trips. We traveled often to Acadia, Bar Harbor and even traveled down to Stonington harbor. Acadia is a mere 50 minutes and we went up to the Canadian border town of Lubec, about an hour or so. We had our best lunch at the Inn at the Wharf there. This house seems to be right in the middle of all the best spots.
Overall, this was our favorite houses over the past 5 years. It really provides the best Maine Experience we have had.
Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay at this new rental. The house is only 1 year old with all new furniture and modern decor. Not easy to find in Downeast Maine. The beds were very comfortable with the master bedroom on the opposite end of the house from the other bedrooms. Smart design! Easy check in with a code for the front door.
Very long driveway set far back from the road with the house set up along the rocks next to the coastline behind some young pine trees. It was fun to watch the lobster boats working and find a live star fish at low tide. Really loved hearing the waves at night, especially at high tide. There is another house next door, but was very quiet and peaceful sitting out on the large deck. Able to kayak along the coastline from the house.
There is a grocery store in town and a few restaurants, but they close at 7:00. Acadia is about an hour's drive south which we did visit twice. Lots of fantastic trails there, but appreciated staying far away from the crowds of people that visit there each day, especially during the current pandemic. Also hiked Pigeon Hill, Schoodic Peninsula, Petit Manan Refuge, Great Wass Island Preserve, and biked part of Downeast Sunrise Trail (gravel and sandy trail). Drove through some wild blueberry barrens and found a farmer who was selling them. Couldn't find any pick your own places with the current Covid restrictions. That would have been fun.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay here and would recommend it for those who enjoy being out in nature and away from crowds.

About the host
Hosted by Amanda Hedrick
Our Maine addiction began about 18 years ago on a trip to Bar Harbor. We took our time, stopping in coastal towns along the way. We honestly didn't even know about Acadia National Park on that first trip. So, we soon realized more trips were in order! Every summer we returned to find a new adventure. We rented on a different spot of Mount Desert Island everytime to gain insight on all the different flavors. Eventually, we started branching further up the coast to find more quiet, looking for a spot to lay down some roots for the future and build a family retreat.
Why they chose this property
We were thrilled to find our piece of heaven in Milbridge. Everything we truly need is within about a 5 mile drive, yet, our homes location is away from any business of daily life.
