Limited availability in July and Aug Many people have told us that our home is one of the most charming on Islesboro. The house retains the character of the original summer house built in 1908, and it sits in a very special place - a narrow peninsula of land giving the house oceanfront at its front and back. A long porch at the front of the house is just 7 feet up and 12 feet back from high tide. And the shore is actually a sandy beach, something very rare along this stretch of the Maine coast. Maine cottage built in 1908. Views of water from every room. Big deck and enclosed sunroom. Three season home. Wood stove and propane heater for chilly spring/fall mornings, no central heat or insulation. Four bedrooms upstairs - all separate spaces but simple wooden framing so very limited sound proofing. Best for a family or friends who know each other well.
