About This Home

As of October 2021

The "Blue Crab Cottage" is a true Maine oceanfront retreat - the perfect spot to enjoy the beach, panoramic ocean views, and just walking distance to restaurants and the harbor! The spacious wrap-around veranda porch offers endless opportunities for large family lobster bakes a fresco dining, or just to relax and take in the views and sea breezes with a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine. The oceanfront fire pit is a great place to toast marshmallows, cook the catch of the day, or wind down with fun-filled conversation. The floor plan is great for entertaining family and friends, and offers a first floor master bedroom and bath. Impeccably maintained, and lovingly furnished in the tradition of a Maine seaside cottage, the Blue Crab has a history of generating $48,000 per year in rental income, and/ or can be enjoyed as a private family residence. Sun, swim, walk the 7 mile beach, fish, or just relax - just minutes from the jetport, the Old Port, and the OOB Pier!
