About this cottage rental
Located in Historic Castine Village with spectacular views across the harbor over to Cape Rosier and of the grand schooners coming in under full sail.
This charming, rustic but fully equipped, cottage is just sixty feet from the waters edge and has easy steps leading down to the beach.
A unique blend of a small New England town with a common and seafaring village, Castine is exceptionally picturesque. Many of its homes date back to the American Revolution and the streets remain lined with majestic, hundred year old Elm trees.
Not many towns can boast more in the way of recreation, cultural activities and community services, yet remain so unspoiled by commercial tourism. There are no traffic lights and no fast food chains but amenities include sailing, kayaking, golf, tennis, rowing, the Maine Maritime Academy fitness facilities, churches, a library, restaurants, museums, two small grocery stores, and a doctors office--all just a short stroll from Moonrise Anchorage.
Top level has a queen sized bed, and 2 single beds. There is a second small bedroom with a pop-up trundle, that can be a configured as a single bed, or 2 singles, or put together as a king-sized bed. The living-dining area has large sliding doors facing the water, which lead out to a large deck that has a a panoramic view the harbor with a charcoal grill, plenty of outdoor seating and an umbrella to provide shade. There are steps in front to take you down to the beach.
Everything one could need for a spectacular vacation!

This was our 2nd stay at this quaint cottage with an amazing view of the bay! Walking distance to everything, the harbor, restaurants, book store, small grocery and much more. Nearby hiking at Witherle Woods. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Pentagoet Inn. Thank you for sharing your well kept, pet friendly cottage, would definitely stay here again!

We really loved our stay in Castine. The cottage was clean, comfortable and a great location. Our hostess, Janet, was super responsive. It was great for a dog, too, as the front porch/deck was fully enclosed and had full view onto the bay. I highly recommend this property!

This was our third year returning to this cottage and loved every moment. The location and quality of the home cannot be beat, and the views are pinch worthy. We love it here and appreciate the owner’s warmth and communication throughout the booking process!

We booked two weeks. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a weed patch at the entryway and parking area with invasive vines engulfing the evergreens on either side and onto the deck. The general dirt on the entry way door and mat indicated a place not well cared for.
The photos are accurate and overall, the place was superficially clean.
We were disappointed by the stains on some of the floor mats, curtains (mismatched!) and towels. But our biggest shock was when we washed the queen bed sheets after the first week. The bed pad was badly stained and shredded on the under side. Even worse, the mattress was turned upside down under a topper in an attempt to conceal the large stain and torn fabric on the proper sleep side. The arrangement explained why the bed was so wobbly and uncomfortable.
Other deficiencies: Missing kitchen sink faucet aerator (we replaced); inoperative outlet in the downstairs bedroom; broken casement window crank; loose screws on a number of the other window cranks (tightened); woefully insufficient single swing-arm light provided for the entire kitchen area, plus no stove-oven exhaust vent. In addition, several corroded light sockets caused intermittent illumination failure (repaired). There was also heavy dust on some window screens restricting air flow. The appliances included an antiquated fridge with missing door shelf retaining bar. No trash pickup at the end of the first week as promised. Also, out-of-date information posted on the refrigerator door.
On the positive side, the mostly unobstructed view of the harbor was enjoyable; walk-to-town convenience; Roku TV service & internet were just fine.
Overall, this cottage suffers from neglect and indifference.
