LIVING AND ENTERTAINING

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
The bedrooms are spread across the two levels of the cottage giving you a sense of privacy for larger groups. The lower-level functions as a private suite with a queen bed and its own ensuite bathroom, making it a quiet retreat away from the main living area. On the main level, there is a second queen bedroom and a third bedroom with two twin beds, a perfect setup for families traveling with children.
Both bathrooms in the home include tub and shower combinations, providing plenty of utility for getting everyone ready after a day of exploring the coast. Each bathroom is stocked with fresh towels and essential amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so guests can settle in and relax from the moment they arrive.
A washer and dryer are also available in the home, making it easy to pack light and stay as long as you like.
OUTDOOR SPACES
The elevated deck is the main feature of the house and provides a front row seat to the harbor’s daily comings and goings and the stunning western sunsets. With comfortable alfresco seating for six and a propane grill, it is the perfect spot for afternoon cooking by the sea.
Below the deck, a shaded ground level patio and wooded yard provide a cool retreat from the afternoon sun and gives you a launching pad for shoreline adventure from the private, rugged staircase that leads directly from the yard down to the rocky beach, offering guests their own locals only path for beachcombing and exploring the tidepools.
When exploring the shoreline, it is important to keep the tide clock in mind.
Please note that the bank is steep and the shoreline is rugged, so supervision is recommended for children.
ATTENTION OTHER THINGS TO NOTE!
Reed Shore Cottage is a traditional coastal home that embraces the authentic Maine experience. It is important to note that the property does not have central air conditioning, instead, it relies on refreshing coastal breezes and provided high velocity fans to maintain comfort during the peak of summer.
The physical terrain of the property is rugged, with a steep bank leading to the water and multiple internal levels, which may be a consideration for guests with limited mobility. Additionally, while the interior enjoys strong connectivity, the WiFi signal is weaker on the deck.
Please note that the staircase to the water is steep and active guests are best suited to make the most of it, but adult supervision is recommended for little ones near the water's edge.
