About this house rental
Tucked away on a private 1.5 acre property, this beautiful oceanfront retreat, just across the Cousins Island bridge, is a stone's throw to historic Yarmouth Village and minutes to Portland's renowned art scene, restaurants and unique boutiques, Brunswick, home to Bowdoin College, the Bowdoin Collega and the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museums, the charming town of Bath, Freeport's famous outlet shopping, and plenty of scenic day trips and adventures from Kennebunkport to Kingfield.Built by an inventor, this home is sure to delight with many clever inventions throughout. The home is filled with original art from Maine artists and artisans many of whom work and study in the premises 'off season'.
Every room overlooks gorgeous Casco Bay. The main floor features an eat-in-kitchen, formal dining room, library/computer room, living room and powder room. The second floor offers two bedrooms (one with a double bed, the master with a king or twin beds), a sitting room and bathroom with shower and tub. The lower level features a third bedroom(king or twin) with bath. The family room and media center has direct access to the patio, deck and grounds. A wet bar with a wine refrigerator and mini kitchen service the downstairs entertainment area. The grilling patio area with solo fire pit is perfect for outside entertaining. A third double bedroom (with twin beds), and a separate laundry room completes the lower level.
The secluded setting features a large stone and brick terrace and path leading to a waterside viewing deck and a private deep-water dock. When launched the resident 38' Morris yacht with Captain is available for day charters or sunset cruises. Other boating alternatives can be arranged. Sit back, relax and enjoy the exquisite views, glorious sunsets--and experience the magic of Maine.

The host was very welcoming and the house is unique and charming. There were a few things that needed repair.

A most marvelous home and location. The house is spacious and very nicely decorated. Beautiful art throughout. Lots of windows with views. Comfortable beds with nice linens. Large kitchen with everything you need to cook. The location is superb. Very quiet and peaceful. Waterfront with a great view. Easy access to water, dock, and several places to sit outdoors. Amazing sunset views. Tamson, the host, is wonderful! So very helpful and happy to share local information. Yarmouth and surrounding towns are easy to get to and charming. We had a lovely time!

This charming cottage was way more than we expected it to be! It was serene, beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. After a year of mostly being at our own home (Covid be gone!), this was the perfect getaway for our family's April vacation. We filled our days with bike rides on the amazing trails of Cousin's Island and nearby Little John as well as lots of walks to the beach just down the way, a few field trips on some days, and then a race back to the cottage each night so as not to miss the amazing sunsets from the perfect outdoor seating area.Tamson made us feel right at home and was an absolute pleasure to have as a host. It was a real treat to bring our dogs with us and they had a blast getting to know her dogs too! She really welcomed us and made sure we got to know all the amazing history of this Inventor's cottage. We especially enjoyed learning how the adorable artist shack came to have it's Pollack-inspired floor which brings so much character and creativity to a space that we could read or create in for hours!PS - the rich character that fills this cottage doesn't stop at the furnishing and walls -- the beds were SO comfortable and we still talk about needing to buy the same sheets for our beds at home! We thought that was a really nice bonus to what can sometimes be a disappointment in a rental. Such taste, Tamson! Thank you for sharing your amazing property with us.
