About this property

Secluded Oceanfront Cottage w/ Beautiful Beach for Sea Glass

The Sea Urchin Cottage is on the north end of beautiful Campobello Island, home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's beloved summer home and the museum and International Park which bear his name. Campobello Island is connected by bridge to Lubec, Maine, home of the renowned candy-striped West Quoddy Head Lighthouse, the easternmost point of the United States.

Within walking distance of the picturesque East Quoddy Head Harbor Lighthouse, the Sea Urchin sits on a cliff overlooking a sandy beach steps from your doorstep! With the woods behind the cottage, the Passamaquoddy Bay in front of the cottage, and the cliffs rising up from the beach on each side of the cottage, the Sea Urchin offers unparalleled privacy and seclusion and an unbelievably beautiful view. Whales and Eagles pass by often.


View whales, seals, porpoises, ospreys, eagles, and beautiful sunsets, whimsical sailboats, working fishing boats and huge cargo ships from your dining room table, from the attached deck, or from the screened-in tree house which sleeps three people! Camping pads are provided in the tree house, but you must bring sleeping bags.

Built by a boat builder, the Sea Urchin is compact, but can sleep up to six people inside the cottage.

We have two cottages available to rent side by side, each on their own 3 acres of land. Please inquire.

Have a large family? Rent the Whale of a View and the Sea Urchin next door! Both cottages are private and located on their own private 3 acres. They are connected by a trail along the shore through the woods. There is also a small 1 bedroom cottage located on the property which is private from both of these cottages that is available for overflow crowds for an additional fee. Please inquire.

beautiful saeside cottage with aquatic life views
The cottage is obviously loved by the owners. Open your eyes and you will see every amenity you need. Charming plates, hooks for hanging. binoculars, board games, books, and charts for fish, birds, sight seeing, important numbers for everything. A charcoal grill, decks, fire pit and so much more. Porpoise, Puffins, Bald Eagles, Harbor Seals, Grey Seals daily, 54 stair private Bull Dog beach access with chairs awaiting at the bottom. We where ages 51-80 and we walked the beach every day. The parks are clean with great bike and driving access. Dennis called right away to see everything was good. The housekeeper and maintenance where so informative. This is a great relaxing sitting, biking, beach combing, sightseeing, and history abound vaca. We hope you see the beauty we saw!

Relaxing retreat
What a fantastic vacation! The cottage was exactly as described. The rustic qualities reminded you of what it was like to be at the cottage as a kid. It was clean and had everything that we needed for the week. Our family enjoyed the abundant wildlife that was right off the large decks. We saw at least one whale 6 of 7 days, with the porpoise, seals and bald eagles making frequent passes each day. Our daughter spent many hours combing the large, private beach for all kinds of sea treasures. The island offered enough activities that we did not have time to leave and visit surrounding areas. The East Quoddy lighthouse is a short 2km walk to the parking area. A big thank you to Brandon at Capt. Riddles whale watching for a great tour. We also visited the FDR park with the attractions and many scenic trails. The lobster at the Family Fisheries restaurant was so fresh and sweet. Thank you to Dennis and family for sharing your little oasis with us. Can't wait to return.

Million Dollar View
If what you seek is a view of the ocean, eagles, seals, the foggy a.m., etc, here's your place. New screened in porch offers a window to the world that is superb. (Note to Dennis-that captains wheel might be better placed-just sayin). Comfortable porch and just a great room/area for relaxing---where we stayed most of the time. Outdoor deck equally as nice...but the bugs were in mid-season form, so... Small place-couple small bedrooms, living room, kitchen...didn't want a barn---didn't get one. Lots and lots of stuff in the place...lots. Kitchen functional. Refridge may be near its shelf life expiry date---esp frezer, but it works. Stove works...bathroom compact but ok...in general the entire place was ok. Not exceptional...ok. The view is the attraction. 52 steps to the beach on a steep stairwell...land is steeply tilted from back of house up hill to parking area for your vehicle...facts---keep in mind if you rent. Tree house for kids very cool...could see myself there as a kid...would be a huge plus for families. Beach all stone (as is the entire island). Certainly private...can build fires there, etc...but remember those 52 steps. Overall ok. The view is what you are paying for...

Great time at the Sea Urchin
We had the priviledge of spending 3 nights at this cottage. The cottage had all the gadgets we could need, but the real feature was the beauty of the ocean in front of us. I spent one morning, sitting with my coffee watching and LISTENING to 4 whales, 2 on either side of the cottage. We found starfish, sea urchin, saw harbour seals, porpoises, and whales almost daily. The local restaurant sold lobster for dinner, the whale watching tour was great, and the lighthouse at then end of the island was unbelieveable. The stairway to the beach was a bit steep, and had 50 stairs but do-able Not much to do other than that on the island, but, for a quiet, relaxing vacation with the wildlife, I personally cannot wait to go back.

Perfect
In Aug. 2010 my husband, 15yr old son and myself stayed here for a week. The cottage was cute and had everything we needed. If you love the nature, you will love it. The cottage is tucked in a bit of a wooded area but faced the Bay of Fundy. The tides were amazing to watch roll in and out...with the tides, came fresh food for the whales. Morning coffees outside while watching porpoises playing in the water, hearing the blows from the Fin whales as they tell us we will see them soon was so exciting to all of us. We saw many whales swim past the cottage. No binoculars needed. I was thrilled. The reason we chose this cottage was because we were told we would see lots of wildlife, including whales. We were NOT disappointed. The owner was wonderful to deal with. We plan to visit again.
