About this apartment rental
Book a Maine vacation that you will never forget!!!….188 East Shore Road is a Vintage Summer Waterfront Cottage that sits up high on the rocky shoreline of Westport Island, in the very DESIRABLE Mid Coast area of Maine.
This property offers the ideal spot for corporate retreats, family reunions, meetings, and small events. There are spectacular views of passing lobster boats and local wildlife like harbor seals, osprey, and bald eagles. Wake to the sunrise over Sheepscot Bay. Enjoy coffee on the waterfront patio, or on one of the porches and balcony. Launch a kayak from your private dock and spend the afternoon exploring Maine”s Islands. End the day with Lobsters and socializing around the fire pit! The property comfortably sleeps 12 guests across two separate living spaces, combining a spacious 4 bedroom main cottage with attached private guest quarters. Lots of space for multi generational families. Privacy with no close neighbors. Ideal for reunions and special occasions. The independent guest suite includes its own full kitchen, bathroom and waterfront deck overlooking the Sheepscot River. The seals frolic daily on the ledges directly in front of the property. Located just minutes across the bridge from historic Wiscasset, Edgecomb and the Boothbay Harbor Region, this coastal retreat balances quiet island seclusion with easy access to classic Maine dining, nature preserves, botanical garden, and Maritime adventures! , The guest quarters can be accessed through the main cottage or from its own outside private entrance. There is an outdoor stone patio with grill and griddle, and a fire-pit for cool Maine nights.
Kayaking, boating, fishing! Wake up to sunrises over Sheepscot Bay!
Bring your boat! The Sheepscot Bay is home to some of the most beautiful boating in Maine. Bath, Wiscasset, and Boothbay Harbor are easily accessible and there is a public boat launch right on the Island, just 6 miles from the cottage.
The Bridge to Westport Island is 3 miles in (east) from route one. The cottage is located 7 miles down the island from the bridge, on the East side of the island. The island itself is about 12 miles long and two miles wide. The East Shore Road circles that side of the island,…and looks over at Barters Island, Southport, Isle of Springs and out to open Ocean and Hendricks Head Lighthouse.
Private and peaceful location,..yet an easy commute to all of the tourist areas and attractions that the beautiful mid coast area of Maine has to offer.
This Historic east side of Westport Island is dotted with charming vintage cottages and farmhouses along its beautiful shoreline. It is a perfect walking and biking area.
The cottage has SPECTACULAR VIEWS of surrounding Islands, Working Lobster Boats and Harbor Seals on the ledges in front. There is easy access to the water and a private dock overlooking a small and active cove.
The wonderful southeastern exposure allows stunning views of the water, wildlife, boating traffic and the sunrise from every window! Watch the lobstermen hauling their traps in early morning. Eagles and Osprey abound. There are seals basking in the sun on the ledges in front of the cottage at low tide….and the FULL MOON over the Sheepscot Bay, is a sight that you will never forget!
3.5 private acres…Airy and spacious rooms with cottage furniture , wicker and antiques. Central heat. A large wrap around porch on the West side of the cottage, to watch the sunsets.
There is a deep water dock on a beautiful peninsula overlooking a cove to the north of the cottage. Bring your boat! There is no better area of Maine for boating,… with lots of towns, restaurants, cozy harbors , coves …all easily accessible from the cottage. It is also a wonderful kayaking , sailing and paddle boarding area.
There are 3 preserves on the island for hiking.
Step back in time!…There is a non denominational church from the 1700”s, and our town hall that still hosts town meeting each year. And…we still have a volunteer fire department.
The cottage has an outdoor patio on the water side, with a grill, a griddle and a gas lobster cooker. There are three picnic tables for outdoor gatherings and a waterfront Fire Pit. The cottage is well stocked with books and games and has a ROKU tv with Netflix, for quiet evenings.
There is a well stocked kitchen with an attached sunroom, overlooking the glorious Sheepscot Bay… and out to
Open ocean.

Summary of reviewsGuests had a perfect stay with amazing views, spacious rooms, well-equipped house, and outstanding host Ellen. They enjoyed various activities, waterside experiences, and are eager to return.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Ellen is an amazing host She went out of her way to provide a superior experience; from delicious coffee to fishing poles. The home is older, so be prepared to walk upstairs to get to bedrooms and a few bathrooms. The stairs were the only thing that a couple of our family members had a tough time with. All of the plumbing is updated and both toilets and showers had great water pressure. The water is also filtered with a UV light so we were able to drink from the faucet and their watercolor. There are plenty of places to sit for meals and to visit while enjoying the gorgeous views. There are a few binoculars to use but I would recommend bringing your own set if you have them because there is so much to see. The house is in a remote location, but so are most places in the area, plan on driving about 15-20 mins to get to the grocery store. We were able to connect with a local lobster fisherman and get fresh lobster to cook up at the house. We spent most of our days taking day trips and exploring the Maine coast! Ellen is a wealth of information for places to visit and things to do. I would recommend staying here with your family to create wonderful memories. We traveled for a family vacation with 12 people; 7 adults & 5 children ages 2.5-12. We had so much fun!! Thank you so much Ellen!

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We booked this house for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding and our experience was incredible. The house is absolutely beautiful (we took our first look pics and group pics in the yard!) and the hosts were very attentive and thoughtful. I'd book this house again in a heartbeat!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Ellen was great and communicative and very helpful throughout. The house is a bit outdated which is not evident from the pictures. A lot of the pots and pans were dirty and had to be washed before use. The outside is absolutely stunning! The biggest drawback is how far it is from anything you want to do. It's close to 20 minutes to get to Wiscasset and 45 to get to boothbay etc etc. This was challenging with children. If your plan is to stay at the house more this house is fantastic!
