About this property

Ocean front house with two private beaches-- on a peninsula--spectacular views!

Ocean front home located at the end of a peninsula, on Fickett's Point in Milbridge, Maine. It is privately situated close to the ocean on three sides and a spectacular open view of the islands from the living room. This house is across the water from the town of Milbridge and has access to a sandy beach in back and a rocky beach in front.
Very quiet and very private.
You get sunset views over the water on one side and sunrise views on the other. If you like the sound of the ocean waves at night you will love this comfortable two bedroom home with a picture window and window seat in the living room looking out at the islands. Both beaches are private and easily accessible. You can launch a boat at the marina a mile down the road and cruise around the coast or easily pull a canoe or kayak down to the shore directly in front of the house. There is nice kayaking and canoeing all around the vicinity. The house is great for a husband and wife private getaway or a retreat for vacationers wanting a quiet and scenic place to forget their worries and just relax. Children will love the diverse collection of shells, beach-glass and things to find while beach-combing.
The house is, and has been, immaculately clean. It is supplied with all the amenities. This house is cheery, comfortable and cozy with lots of natural light. It has plenty of room inside and truly spectacular views.
We have wireless high speed internet and a smart t.v. too. There is a new gas fireplace for quiet cozy evenings. The house is surrounded by water on three sides. There are two very accessible beaches, both private, included on the property. This is a very peaceful area situated at the tip of a peninsula. This is the last house at the very end.
This house accommodates 4 (6 if you want to put a couple children on the roll away beds). All new appliances and fully outfitted for a restful vacation.

How far? The house is 1½ hours east of Bangor and the Bangor International Airport. 4½ hours northeast of Portland, 5½ hours from Boston and 10½ hours from New York City.

What's nearby? Acadia National Park. Also Campobello Island, New Brunswick (FDR's summer home) is within an hour and a half, as is Quoddy Head, easternmost lighthouse in the US.
Lobsters and clams are readily available in Milbridge (lobster and clam pots provided with cottage). This is one of the largest wild blueberry producing areas in the world, so there are plenty of berries available nearby during the season (late July through August); berry picking is permitted at Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge in season.
Activities in this part of Maine include hiking the Petit Manan Coastal Wildlife Refuge trails, visiting the pink granite shores at McClellan Park in Milbridge, exploring the crashing surf at Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor, hiking the Bold Coast up in Cutler, visiting the wonderful Milbridge historical society museum and, of course, checking out the tourist attractions in Bar Harbor.

A perfect Maine vacation spot. Nice but not pretentious. Everything you need but not too modern. I mean that in the best way possible. Enjoyed the quiet time with the family after a day out exploring the region.

Relaxing retreat
My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing time. We enjoyed looking for shells on the private beaches and sitting by the indoor fireplace in the evenings. The house was very clean and except for food of course, had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Maine.

Cozy clean home by the Sea
I loved the homey feel of this house and its location between 2 beaches! The house was very clean and neat with wifi and RoKu TV! I especially enjoyed walking along the beaches and seeing the view through the large windows. My friend said the water was filmy when she showered, but I didnt notice anything. I would love to come back!

A Wonderful Peaceful Home:) We loved the layout worked perfectly for this Family of 4. My brother and husband enjoyed looking at the pics of the home being built! Even though the 4 days we were there we had fog. Due to forecasted hurricane. We Loved the beaches, the deer along the road! Most of all my daughter Had an Awesome 22 Birthday to remember :) We also had everything we needed, the house was well supplied and clean. Did not want to go :( Wish to go back again! Thank- You so much for sharing this Special place!

Beautiful Location!
Hurrican Lee was bearing down on the area, and we were worried about our stay. The owner was on top of every detail, from path to projected weather, to quick replies to initiated conversations. We could not have been better informed. Thankfully, no damage and the house and beach were left unscathed. Truly reaffirming and compassionate communication. The sunrises and sunsets are magnificent! We saw seals in the harbor just off the beach. So many wonderful strolls along the beach. Ideal location. Bar Harbor is a short driving distance. The Bold Coast Byway begins just down the road from the house - take the BCB trip, it was a gorgeous drive with idyllic coastal stops. Little things like good water pressure in the shower. Separate living quarters for children and adults. Quiet end of circle location. Washer and dryer. Large yard to play games in. All of these were just icing on the cake of a great location.

We didn’t want to leave!
The property is spotless, the location is incredible. Every day felt like we were living in a beautiful postcard. Milbridge is a great little town with unique shops and a good assortment of restaurants. We would have been happy just to stay on the property every day…eagles, osprey, seals, deer. Wonderful beaches, easy access for the kayaker and paddleboarder in our family. Great location to get to Acadia or the less crowded sites near by. The house is so comfortable we really could have just stayed in place for the entire week. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we really didn’t want to leave.

Wonderful property
This property has everything you could need! The house was super clean and was the perfect size for 5 of us. We all had enough room to spread out when needed. We all loved the older style of the house and being on the peninsula was the best! So cool to have our own private beach with rocks, shells & sea glass. Lastly, the price was great as well!

My favorite getaway
The location is perfection. The amenities are so well stocked and generous it truly feels like you are welcomed into the family. It is a secluded but very close to town. There is nothing that needs improvement - it is truly a slice of paradise and I cannot wait until we can return again. Sea Spruces is my favorite place on earth!

Lovely coastal Maine
The property is beautiful. The home is a bit like stepping into a time capsule, reminiscent of grandma’s house but very clean. The grounds are better than we imagined. Multiple beaches of sand and rock. The kids explored it all. So many nearby attractions, but you may be tempted to stay at the house as it has so much to offer. It was even better than we could have hoped for.

Peaceful beachfront location surrounded by stunning scenery
If your looking for a chance to unwind away from it all , surrounded by ocean views , your own private beaches, glorious suns rises and sunsets, wildlife, stunning scenery and excellent seafood, you will struggle to find a better vacation location than this Millbridge property in Maine. We found the house to be very clean with everything you need for a relaxing stay . It has a very welcoming feel about it, is comfortable and warm. The views through the large lounge bay window over the Bay are amazing.

Perfect Maine Vacatio
We had an amazing week staying at this home. It was the exact place we were looking for. Private beach to relax, kayak and an unexpected delight..seals visited everyday..what fun to watch. Also, had some bald eagles pay us a visit. We ventured north to explore a bit and do some kayaking. Acadia at Winter Harbor was close by...this house was the perfect location. Very simple, some may say rustic,but had so much Maine charm. If a quiet place to revive your spirit is what you are looking for, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Amazing
Even with all the great reviews this place still managed to exceed our expectations. The house was like a home-away-from-home with everything we could possible imagine. You can literally feel the history and love in the home. We kayaked around the islands with seal, cooked seafood from Chipman's Warf, biked, ran, and hammocked as the sunset (the kayak, bikes and hamock were ours). This was the 3rd of a six week 11 stop northeast trip and we were still SO SAD we had to leave.

A perfect location
We found this property to perfectly suit our needs for our Maine vacation. While our primary destination was Acadia National Park, the immediate area had so much to offer. Visitors should include a trip to McClellan State Park in Milbridge, lunch on the wharf at the Harbor House in nearby Corea, and Schoodic Point. The town of Milbridge and immeidate area has many great choices for dining. The Bayside grocery store is well stocked and has the best blueberry muffins for breakfast.

A peaceful paradise!
My goodness, what a wonderful time we all had. The waves, the incredible views, the fragrance from the Lily of the Valleys under the pines; it all kept calling me outside to my delight. I haven't been that happy and peaceful in a long time. This wonderful property is truly a Shangri-La filled with the most wonderful needlepoint, paintings and stained glass art to enjoy - not to mention all of the amazing amenities! We were able to instantly rest and relax thanks to the host's generous and spotless accommodations. I adored every moment we spent there and I am literally counting down the days until we can return! Thank you for sharing this slice of paradise!
