About this property

Sunfish Cove is the perfect year round getaway.

Welcome to Sunfish Cove, where the sunrise greets you in the morning as it beams over Sand Pond. This perfect year round getaway offers Summer fun in the water, amazing Fall colors and lots of opportunities to play in the snow & on the ice over the Winter months, making this a great destination for your year round adventures.
As an extended generational family ourselves, Sunfish Cove is designed to meet the needs of 2-3 families. A wonderful location for a reunion or a gathering of friends looking to spend time together. Adults and children will all enjoy everything this home has to offer.
Relaxation, peace, and let’s not forget overwhelming fun, will take over as you enjoy the generous 300’ of water frontage with a dock for easy access. There is a second dock to additional frontage on a shallow cove.
Sand Pond connects to 3 other ponds with a total of 6 miles in length to paddle and for boating. Enjoy swimming, fishing, and kayaking just a few steps from your front door facing the lake. A patio with a gas grill, picnic tables, and fire pit are located just through the walk out ground floor recreation room.
With just under 3000 square feet of floor space, this quintessential Maine home offers water views from nearly every room and has been updated to provide you added comfort.
Our favorite spot in the house is the enclosed porch with walls of windows that surround the home on three sides to ensure the weather never rains out your lakeside adventure. The spacious main living area has a large screen Smart TV, lots of comfortable seating and a river stone fireplace original to the charming 1920’s home. The dining room boasts a large table with bench seating that has a history going back to the original lake cottage. The remodeled, fully equipped kitchen has all new appliances and features walnut butcher block countertops, a large stainless sink, gas range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and blender. The large island provides ample prep space, as well as, a wonderful place to gather around while preparing a meal.
Multiple powerful ceiling fans and a waterfront breeze keep the area comfortable in any weather. There are four bedrooms, 3 on the upstairs level, 1 on the ground floor level, and a futon in the family room. There is also a remodeled She Shed/Bunk House that can sleep an additional two for summer only “Glamping” (glamorous camping).
All outdoor spaces have generous seating. The dock provides a swim ladder and there are multiple kayaks, a paddle boat and plenty of floating tubes to ensure summer time fun on the water. For more outdoor fun, provided is corn hole, badminton and other fun yard games.
The game room is located on the walkout ground floor level, ensuring that the night owls wanting to stay up late and play don't disturb the early to bed crowd. A Smart TV, as well as, a ping pong table and foosball table round out this large space made to entertain. A refrigerator and microwave round out this great party space.
Amenities include linens and towels, washer/dryer, gas grill, Smart TV's, and wireless internet.
This Private location is just minutes from I-95, There is an 18 hole golf course only 4 miles away. LL Bean, outlet stores and specialty shopping only 40 minutes away. Visit Portland for sightseeing, great restaurants, or take a lobster boat tour and catch your own lobsters.
Parking is available for eight vehicles. Yard space is perfect for a game of catch, bocce, badminton corn-hole or other lawn sports. A large shed is available for storage of fishing gear, or whatever other toys you want to bring.

Fantastic!
Such a charming home! It was the perfect place for our family of 5 plus two grandparents. Everything was clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well equipped. We especially liked the front porch. And the lake is beautiful! We really enjoyed swimming and sunning on the dock.

Ice fishing trip
We had a wonderful time in this home. Love the character of an old home with a new addition and modern touches. The porch facing the water was my favorite, can drink coffee and aee the sunrise or sundown. You can even watch those who are ice fishing and take breaks to come inside. The water is right there. We had so much luck with catching fish that we even ate them for supper one evening. We caught trout, large and small bass, yellow perch and a black crappie. It was very exciting. The kitchen was full of utensils. The house is spacious and has plenty of room for a family/friend gathering. Def want to come back for next year ice fishing. Thank you for having us.

Amazing trip to Monmouth
This house was exactly what we needed for a northern getaway! We went with a total of 13 people and the house fulfilled our every need. The highlight,of course, was the beautiful location. Right on the water, the property provides everything you need to enjoy yourself.... including fishing gear, kayaks, and a canoe. We spent most of our nights outside enjoying the fire pit and the beautiful sunrises over the pond. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our family gathered from 5 households and had a wonderful vacation at Sunfish Cove! The house is big and very well furnished. We all like to cook and found every item we needed in the kitchen. We took full advantage of the porch to drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Anytime we weren’t in the water we hung out in the yard or on the porch. Over the week we used all the watercraft to explore the lake. That covers everything we look for in a vacation. The house has a long history and we liked the photos of families vacationing there years ago. Our hosts were readily available to answer questions and make sure we had everything we needed. It was a great time!!

Wonderful Week at Sand Pond!
Beautiful and spacious home for our extended family ranging from ages 2 to 63! The property and lake is very private and peaceful. We saw loons, bald eagles, lots of fish! Waterfront is where we spent most of the day swimming, kayaking, fishing and floating! We loved having morning coffee and meals on the bright screened in porch and the house stayed cool with the open windows and screened doors. Host was responsive to all of our questions. Would love to go back tomorrow if we could!

We loved the property. There was plenty of room for all our guests, and despite being older home everything was well maintained. There was also many things to do on property indoors and outdoors - videos, ping pong, foos ball, paddle boat, etc. I highly recommend for future vacations.

Perfect!
We are a group of nine ranging in age from 1 to 57 and this house was just perfect for us! Fully equipped and comfortable. I was worried that no a/c would be an issue, but it was not. Ceiling fans and breezes keep the house comfortable during the day and even cool at night. Everything from the house to the canoe and kyaks, fire pit and porch were more than we could have asked for! Perfect way to relax and enjoy family!

The Best Week!
We had the most amazing week at this home. The location was exactly what we were looking for. The house had everything and more you could possibly need to accommodate a large group. We rented a pontoon boat and aside from grocery shopping and one night out to visit a couple local breweries we never had to leave! We rent a house in NH/maine every year and this year had a large group ranging from 17 months to 79 years and all agreed it was one of the best we’ve stayed in so far! The owners were quick to respond the our questions and lovely to chat with. We hope to rent again in the future!

A fantastic summer retreat!
We had one of our best New England summer vacation's at Carl and Jill's home. The house suited our family of 5 plus a few friends perfectly. There were plenty of spots throughout the house where everyone could do their own thing (like the hammock, swing, comfy chairs on the lawn, porch table, porch couch, etc) or gather together. We had a few outdoor fires and dinners on the side patio along with the resident mallard duck that loved lounging on the dock. The beds were comfy and the linens soft. This was our first time at this lake and it was beautiful. The water was clear and we all swam right off the front dock. Even though there are houses on either side, it was a quiet spot with plenty of privacy. We all enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boat. The surrounding area was a lot of fun too. We found a great ice cream spot (Fielder's Choice) and a farm with homemade cider donuts. My husband and I had a great time golfing at two local courses- both were well maintained and everyone was super nice. Jill and Carl were attentive and check in and check out were very easy. We are looking forward to coming back next summer.

Beautiful house on Sunrish Cove
Our family enjoyed our four day weekend at the house on Sunfish cove celebrating our son’s graduation from Bates College over a memorial day Weekend. The graduation day was 90 Degrees so we enjoyed coming back and swimming and taking the boats out on the pond. We had a wonderful time and there was plenty of room for some of his friends to come by after the graduation. We loved the spot and highly recommend it !
