About this cottage rental

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0wsbhE_BePk

Castine Cottages are the perfect quiet vacation rental spot with six 2-bedroom cottages overlooking the Maine waterfront! Built in 1952 the family run cottages have their own original and unique charm. For those looking for a quiet, beautiful, and relaxing vacation with nature, this is your spot! Our cabins are very rustic with their old timey charm. If you are looking for new, upgraded, and luxurious, this probably isn’t for you.

Located on top of a hill overlooking the waterfront, our cottages are set up to offer the best views, with a refreshing sea breeze even on the hottest of days.
The property also offers a small private rocky beach front for our guests to enjoy. Please note that the long dock seen in some photos on our website and traveler photos is not currently accessible as it was taken out by historic flooding in the winter.

Within one hour of scenic Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Camden,
Bangor International Airport, home of the Maine Maritime Academy,
Castine has great accessibility. Castine has to be seen to realize what a gem you have found. A beautiful seaside town with a deep historical past where many revolution battles were fought. Castine offers a salt water swimming pool, public beach, and Dyces Head light house, just a few of the places that you just shouldn’t miss.

Amazing view of water. 6 cabins about 100 ft apart. Wonderfully quiet, but one noisy cabin neighbor could change all that. Cabins are quaint, old, great screened in porches, kitchens and fridges tiny.

The town of Castine is a 'Real town' with people who live and work there year round. There are however lobsters, sailboats to cruise on, kayaks, hikes, and a sweet weekly farmer's market. We were lucky enough to be here during the Perseids Meteor Shower. My Kayak guide was jealous as I described the dark skies with the milky way clearly visible and the amazing show my husband and I were lucky enough to see. If you are a star gazer, this is your cottage Each cottage has a panoramic view of the water, but also a view of the meadow which has good bird watching. If your taste is towards larger birds, we saw a mature and immature bald eagle down by the dock on our first day. The tide is a bit extreme, but the dock is a good place to launch a kayak, and the bioluminescence in the water on a moonless night is spectacular. Our dogs had a great time. Alan and Diana are dog lovers. They will welcome yours. Mine had a great time. Plenty of blankets, hot water and a very well stocked kitchen. Rustic wood interiors, books, games, and the porch. I adore the porch with hummingbirds visiting the feeder. The other guests were friendly and we all respected each other's privacy and peace. If you want a real Maine vacation in an old fashioned seaside cottage this is the place The internet is spotty. If you rely on internet for business and Absolutely Must be on the net and any particular time ask if they have gotten their wireless connection a bit more reliable before you book. After the first day I realized my clients would just have to wait a few hours now and then and it did me a world of good. They all survived too.

These cottages sit on a beautiful overlook of Hatch's Cove on the Penobscot Bay. My husband, adult son, and I loved staying in these rustic but very comfortable cabins. We came for a family reunion and stayed a week; would definitely stay again. The owners are very nice and make sure all is in working order. Quiet, private, and we actually loved a respite from TV--but wifi worked great!

Nice breeze, Nice views, but run down property, sheets/ blankets look “suspicious , dirty glasses, dishes…. And Iam far away from a “clean freak”,wasps are nesting inside the wall: both my son and husband were stung. Castine itself has neat area not far from the cabins
