About this house rental
Morning Star Cottage is the perfect year-round Maine vacation rental! This Victorian custom-built home is situated on a narrow peninsula, affording sunrise and sunset water views from the porches and the third-floor balcony. A small cobble beach can be accessed at low tide for wading, shelling, and sunning. An easy kayak launch from this location provides exploration of the near and distant islands as well as a close look at the seals, loons, and lobster boats which inhabit the surrounding waters.
The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, the largest botanical garden in New England is just 1/2 mile from this home. The CMBG is a horticultural gem and is considered one of the Maine's premier natural attractions.
Beautifully appointed with vintage and antique furnishings, this seaside home comes equipped with every amenity anyone could want for a truly carefree and memorable vacation.
A new deep water dock, shared only with owners' other home next door is now in place! Relaxing on the float, feels just like being in a boat.
All of our guests have raved about the accommodations and the spectacular views at our cottage. We choose to inform all of our potential guests that our property is adjacent to a grass and gravel long term parking area. The area is for residents of a small off shore island community called the Isle of Springs. We have been renting Morning Star Cottage for twelve years and have never had a single complaint about it. Everyone who spends time at Morning Star Cottage loves it, and we are confident you will too!
Family Reunions and Special Occasions
Morning Star Cottage is located next to Little Dipper Cottage, both of which have fabulous waterfront locations. These homes can be reserved jointly for a fabulous family reunion, anniversay, or birthday celebration.
Little Dipper Cottage HomeAway Property # is 164329

We loved Morning Star cottage! I’m not sure if my favorite part was coffee on the upstairs balcony each morning or wine on the dock each evening! We loved the peace and quiet of the area while still being close to the harbor and it’s activities. Admittedly, the unseasonable temps made it quite hot for a couple of days but we knew this could be a possibility when booking! Thanks, Charles, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

What a charming Maine property. The home was appointed with everything we needed for family meals, campfires, and time together with family. The daily seal sightings were an unexpected bonus. The host was very responsive with questions and accommodating. We were all sad to leave.

The location was ideal. Our host greeted us upon arrival. We felt as if the house was set up just for us. Very clean and ready for a wonderful week.
