New cottage open for 2024!! Shackford Cove Cottage is a charming cottage with the best view of Shackford Cove in Eastport! It features a relaxing entertaining space on the first floor and two bedrooms and a bath on the second. It was built as a sardine workers' housing dating to the turn of the last century. Converted to a vacation home thirty years ago, it was just updated to make a comfortable vacation home for your stay. Shackford Cove Cottage features unmatched views of Shackford Cove, with an ever changing view from deep water to just a trickle, always teaming with shore birds and the wrecks of ships from when Shackford Cove was home to four shipyards! The home is one open space on the first floor, with glass sliding doors facing the deck with Shackford Cove beyond. The kitchen is fully furnished with a large fridge, gas stove, lots of cookware, and handmaid pine cabinets. The second floor is accessed by a steep, low ceilinged staircase typical for this era of home, but has two large, bright bedrooms for you to enjoy. The larger bedroom has been called the ‘captains Quarters’ since its inception, with a brand new queen bed, a nice sized storage closet, bureau, and a vintage rocking chair. The secondary bedroom pays homage to the previous owner with his collection of birding photographs as well as his photographs of Eastport from a decade ago. It has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and several wall hooks for hanging. The upstairs bath is tucked in under the eaves with a tub shower combination and a small vanity as well as several storage cabinets. The home has a propane heater on the first floor, an electric radiator in the bathroom, as well as two space heaters in the bedrooms. There are stand fans as well for the occasional warm day! There is no air conditioning.
