About this house rental
Comfortable, quiet, north end of Westport Island near Wiscasset - "The Prettiest Village in Maine". Enjoy the day's first cup of coffee from the raised deck while watching the sun rise over the glistening waters of the Sheepscott River. Listen to the whispering pines, lobster boats tending traps and the call of seabirds. Relax on the deck just outside your front door or down by the river on the spacious 10' x 20' float. Enjoy a walk to the nearby lobster coop and carry back dinner. The island has three preserves for hiking and picnicking. You're just a few minutes from coastal Route 1 which makes this home a great spot to launch a day trip to Freeport and Camden. Experience the Sheepscot River from the dock (FYI - dock float sits on the riverbed at each of two daily dead low tides for a total of about three hours daily - 1.5 hours per low tide). The hillside leading to the dock is steep, but steps are broad with a bench on a platform half way up/down. 12 large stone steps lead to the house from the driveway parking area with space for 3 - 4 cars. Settle in and enjoy the amenities: wifi, smart tv, large-capacity washer and dryer, fully-stocked newly remodeled kitchen, linens, hair dryer, iron and board, alarm clock, showers in both bathrooms - one is newly remodeled, dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven, gas grill and coffee maker. The master bedroom has its own patio door that leads out to a secluded, seashore garden with private deck. A spacious loft sleeps two with seating for reading and relaxing. Another first-floor bedroom also sleeps two. Enjoy river views while you dine - rain or shine - from the deck or dining room. Keep an eye out for deer, wild turkey, fox, bald and golden eagles, osprey and seals. A juvenile humpback whale was sighted in 2023! Watch the dramatic nine foot tides come and go. Westport Isle of View has much to offer. Come see for yourself. Please note: security cameras are positioned to provide surveillance views of driveway approach and waterside main deck/living room door. These are only activated before guests arrive and after check out.

We stayed for month in August/September and had a fantastic time, as we did in 2024. The home has a beautiful view overlooking the Sheepscot River. We often bought lobster at Simmons in Damriscotta, cooked them at home, and had lobster rolls out on the deck for dinner. The home and is centrally located to Wiscassett, Boothbay, Newcastle, Damriscotta, Bath, and Brunswick. Freeport, Portland, Rockland, and Cambden are an hour or less away. There are tons of great walking trails around, lighthouses (Owls Head, Booth Bay, Portland Head and many others), activities (Maine Maritime Museum, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, visiting the state capitol) and restaurants (Five Islands Lobster, Wild Oats Cafe and Bakery, Taste of Maine, and many others). Great place to stay for a week or a month. Thanks for everything Tim and Faith. Hope to be back!

This home was perfect for our one month stay. It is located close to so many wonderful areas - Boothbay Harbor being our favorite spot. The location made traveling up and down the coast of Maine very easy. On the other hand, we loved relaxing on the deck overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Sheepscot River, watching the lobster boats, ospreys, comorants and a very inquisitive owl staring at us from the tree tops - almost eye level! We also appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, including the lobster pot of which we made good use. The home is very comfortable and inviting. We can't wait to go back!

My wife and I stayed in Tim and Faith's home for the month of July, 2024, as a present to each other for our 25th anniversary. The home was very clean, comfortable, well-provisioned for cooking. We felt right at home. It was also conveniently located to several nearby towns (Wiscassett, Bath, Brunswick, Newcastle, Damariscotta, and Boothbay). We enjoyed many nearby activities and attractions, including Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, Maine Maritime Museum, Capitol Park in Augusta, walking up and down the road from the house to the tip of Westport Island, walking on many other nearby trails on conserved properties, bargain hunting at Renys, perusing used books at Skidompha Secondhand Bookshop. We also enjoyed eating out at Taste of Maine (seafood and bread pudding), Montsweag (baked haddock), Moody's Diner (the best blueberry pancakes anywhere). Cooks Landing (Pizza and live music), and Ginger Mousse Bakery (anything they make). However, the activities and food we enjoyed most were sitting on the deck overlooking the river in the afternoons and eating dinner on the deck out night. You cannot beat the view this home has, as it is situated in the tree canopy overlooking the Sheepscot River with abundant wildlife and boats of all kinds passing by. Skip the high prices for lobster at restaurants. Instead, buy them at Simmons Seafood Market, Shaws, or Hannafords, cook them at home, and have lobster rolls on the deck with the best view anywhere!

This property was very commodious on one floor with two bedrooms and two baths, a big living room with a TV overlooking the river and a large kitchen with dining area dining table. There was a deck with a grill the appliances, although new were difficult to manage as was the TV and the heating system, but with the owners help, we were able to get them operating For our comfort The house is difficult to access for older people with stone steps and a staircase with 12 stairs, which we didn’t anticipate. There’s a nice nice dock, but the staircase down the hillside was very precipitous and unacceptable for us. House is on Westport Island, and remote to other areas for sightseeing. It’s nestled in the woods and if you like seclusion, it’s for you. The host was very helpful with problems that arose in the house like a leaking toilet and a TV we couldn’t get to
Work
The best lobster Was that Georgetown on the dock at five Islands lobster. The most scenic places we saw were the scenic drive on East Boothbay and Reid State Park. This week has arts festival that’s fun to go to and the Farnsworth Museum and many art galleries in Bath Brunswick, Camden and Edgecombe. The Thomaston prison shop and the town of Rockport are also very special places. Captain fishes Boat ride on Boothbay Harbor is very educational and a lot of fun. Nothing beats the fresh air in of maine
