About this property

1930's Private Oceanfront Cottage


The historic Red Point Cottage, built in 1930, sits on a private 19 acre peninsula (shared with a family cabin) and enjoys its own cove and beach. Most of the property is covered by a conservation easement, which is open to our guests for exploring. Moss covered, secluded woodland paths, and a long private beach with tidal pool for swimming make this property a true Maine gem, removed from the hustle and bustle.

Master bedroom with queen bed, second bedroom with double and one twin, third bedroom with two twins, and pull-out futon in living room. 1 1/2 baths and all bedrooms have ocean views. Full kitchen with dining area. Pillows, blankets, and sheets are provided; tenants are responsible for bringing own bath and beach towels.

For evenings and foggy days, the living room is well-stocked with a wide variety of games, puzzles, and books, with a large selection of nature study handbooks.

30 min. to Blue Hill and 90 min. to Acadia National Park. Other local highlights include The Goodlife Center, Tinder Hearth Bakery, Four Seasons Farm and The Holbrook Island Sanctuary. Local companies will deliver kayaks and stand up paddle boards.

We look forward to having you explore Red Point.

A Nice Restful Week in Coastal Maine
We’ve been to Acadia in the past and were turned off by the crowds and the traffic. This was a great stay for two seniors. We ate well, slept well and spent as much time as we wanted exploring. Recreational gear is available to rent nearby and, if we go again, we’ll be sure to rent a kayak and get out on the water.

Wonderful Setting for Relaxing Getaway
The cottage was remote, rustic, and had a wonderful view from the deck and from every window. The kitchen was basic but extremely well equipped. At some rentals, one is lucky to have a vegetable peeler and a scratched teflon frying pan. This cottage had nicer All-Clad pans than I have in my own kitchen. Imagine having a microplane in the utensil holder! And a good coffee pot and coffee grinder. The cottage was also well supplied with all paper products. The bed was very comfortable with nice bed linens. And did I mention the view?!? As a cottage that has had 5 generations of family staying there over the years, we felt honored to share in that experience.

Wonderful stay!
This is our absolute favorite place. We could not ask for anything more of a summer respite. The woods and water are beautiful and the cottage is just perfect for our family of 5.
