    One-of-a-Kind Views! Private Seaside Sanctuary & Nature Lover's Paradise

    Imagine breathtaking, unspoiled natural beauty as far as the eye can see that will fill you with a sense of awe and wonder. Imagine a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature – a place so magical and unique you’ll long to return. Welcome to the Seaside Sanctuary.

    Privately sited on 5 wooded acres with 600’ of granite shoreline, nestled amidst mature spruce and pine trees overlooking a remote peninsula with captivating views of ocean, islands and tides. This special home invites you, your family and friends to share a one-of-a-kind vacation amidst the wilderness beauty of Maine.

    Savor coffee on the deck as the mist burns off the water in the warmth of the sun’s rays. Have a seat at the elevated upper granite ledge sitting area with sweeping views of adjacent islands and miles of granite shoreline. Enjoy the warmth of the afternoon sun on the oceanside deck as you settle in for another dazzling sunset. Or, have a seat at the lower granite ledge sitting area and listen to the ocean lapping at your feet. With no other homes in sight -- only pristine natural beauty as far as the eye can see, you’ll quickly understand why the Seaside Sanctuary is your special place to appreciate nature’s splendor.

    Built in an era before setbacks from the shore were increased, the close proximity to the water's edge accentuates a feeling of openness and communication with the beauty and solitude of rural coastal Maine. Inside, an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and walls of oversized windows and sliding glass doors capture stunning views and natural light. Relax and enjoy good company and conversation on the spacious oceanside deck. Observe vibrant sunsets and abundant Maine wildlife (seals, deer, eagles and a variety of bird species.)

    Accommodating up to 4 comfortably, the Seaside Sanctuary features a vaulted master suite with private bath and a sitting area with sliding glass doors for a commanding view of ocean and islands. An additional bedroom and second full bath, along with a fully stocked kitchen make for a comfortable stay. Living room window seat with expansive views enhance the quaint charm of this unique home.

    If you're in the mood for adventure, rent mountain bikes and explore the dirt roads about the coastline of Lubec or Campobello Island, or day hike nearby trails.

    This lovely seaside retreat is a true sanctuary for the soul and an outdoor haven for those who crave adventure or desire quiet, private solitude. Come enjoy this DownEast, Maine treasure today and prepare to fall in love. In fact, so many of our guests do, they return year after year.

    Beautiful Area
    House was just as described, very clean and secluded. The owners were easy to get ahold of and very helpful. I would stay at this property again.

    Quiet Getaway in the Woods
    Seaside Sanctuary is a beautiful home nestled in the quiet woods of true Down East Maine, with breathtaking views of the tidal coastline. The home was very comfortable and true to the pictures on the website. Although the weather did not cooperate (rain, fog, and a hurricane headed right for us), we enjoyed our time spent in the house and exploring the nearby area as much as possible. Stacey was very easy to communicate with and was very concerned about our well being with the approaching storm. I would recommend this home to anyone seeking solitude and a picturesque location. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Stacey & Tripp.

    "Private Seaside Sanctuary" is the perfect description for this home
    We are a group of women friends who travel together several times a year. This is our second visit to this home because we loved it so much the first time. The place is private, and the views are unbelievable - there are several places around the property to sit comfortably, drink your favorite beverage, and take in the sights. The surrounding area provides many opportunities for incredible hiking, biking and kayaking. We loved our second visit as much as our first - would highly recommend this home!

    Great Maine Experience
    The property is remote and therefore quiet and private. We had wonderful views of the water and the changing tides from the back deck and also areas to sit right in the shore and on the front porch a feel of being in the mountains with all the densely forested trees. It is in a great location for trips to Lubec and Eastport and to Canada. We had an unforgettable week thanks to this special “Seaside Sanctuary”

    A Slice of Heaven
    We had the most relaxing week at Seaside Sanctuary. We enjoyed the absolute peacefulness and beauty during our stay. Everything was clean and cozy. The deck in the morning was our spot to enjoy our coffee and the chairs in the bedroom were a comfortable spot to enjoy our wine and look at the moon and water at night. The unobstructed views were amazing and it was exciting to see a nesting pair of eagles and seals during our stay. We really enjoyed the area as well - Monica’s Chocolates, Campobello, Eastport, etc. There many good restaurants with delicious seafood. We hope to come back Seaside Sanctuary and the Lubec area again!

    The Ever Changing Vista @ Seaside Sanctuary
    We were already excited before we even got to our destination as the paved roads turned to gravel and our location became more and more remote. Then when we opened the front door we were enchanted to find ourselves in a sumptuous cozy oasis with stellar ocean views and every amenity we could have wanted. The decor is charming, eclectic, and homey, with wonderful rich wood furniture and fascinating museum worthy accents. We were delighted to see several juvenile and adult eagles, red squirrels, seals, and even deer across on Parker Island. We picked blueberries right in front of the house! Day trips were to Campobello for Tea with Eleanor, and Eastport, Reversing Falls, Quoddy Head, and Hamilton Cove. We ate out in Lubec at Water Street Tavern and Cohills, and The Narrow Escape. Couldn’t have asked for a better visit! It is indeed a Seaside Sanctuary…we will remember our stay there!
