In The Heart Of Castine, 3 blocks from docks, perfect for family reunions

Our historic home is situated right on Main St in the heart of Castine. The home is across the street from the Castine Golf Course and two blocks to the shops. There is a large 1/2 acre yard off the back of the house perfect for kids to play and a large deck overlooking the yard and garden to enjoy the sun. The House had a major renovation in the summer of 2013 with a brand new updated kitchen, heating, windows, wiring, and paint. Our home has all the necessary amenities of a modern home (wifi, flat panel tv's, lighting) with the historic molding and charm of Castine. We have 4 bedrooms on the second floor with two more bedrooms on the third floor. Then an addition that houses a separate bedroom and bathroom area just off the main house for a total of 5 bedrooms. Great house for a large family or for multi-family stay in the heart of Castine, walking distance to everything.

Great to be in Castine
It was great to be in Castine in August with lots of space for our group. The house was plenty big for our 2 families to stay together and enjoy a week in downeast Maine. The listing doesn't give a clear description of bedrooms, but there are 7 total (5 queen and 2 twin beds). The kitchen has plenty of space and supplies to make yourself at home for the week and there is lots of room to spread out in the house as well.

Great stay in charming house in historic Castine
Charming historical house in lovely Castine. Clean, spacious with plenty of room to congregate or spread out. Lots of rooms to provide privacy. Nice yard for playing. Castine is off the beaten path so you won't run into the touristy crowds but you will need to do some driving to get to places. Town has a ton of history which makes it interesting.

Great stay in Castine
We had a great stay at this house in Castine. The house is large with plenty of room. Lovely porch for enjoying the fresh Maine air. The house and the whole town have a lot of historic charm. A few things we enjoyed most: hiking in Witherlee Woods (trails begin nearby the house), the night-time bioluminescent kayak tour with Castine kayak, and Hawaiian iced tea from the Castine Breeze & Variety store. We had a great time and would come back.

Family Vacation in Castine, Maine
My family and I enjoyed our time in Castine, it is a beautiful peaceful town with lots of history. The house had all the amenities needed for a family of 10. Dave was very responsive to any questions we had before the trip. We look forward to returning soon!

Peaceful location in charming Maine town
Our family of 8 - 6 adults - one 17 year old and one almost a year old grandson enjoyed a week long stay in this property in mid-July. The property was clean and had appropriate sanitizing sprays and liquids available. The location is great - top of the hill with a short very pleasant walk down Main Street into Castine. Golf course literally across the street and our group enjoyed a round of golf during our stay. Castine is a quiet town that is home to the Maine Maritime Academy so it has a few amenities that one might not find in more remote towns in Maine which means it has some spots for a drink and some good restaurants, breakfast spots and convenience stores. Not a small one store town but not anywhere near a bar every other building town either. Perfect to enjoy the coastal region with some amenities available. Historic lighthouse is a short walk from town and Back Bay is a great place to schedule a traditional Maine lobster/clambake on the shore as we did one evening - Markel's is the place to contact if you are looking for this experience - great food and great people. A lot of historic homes that are well maintained take you back in time and help you slow down and unwind. COVID-19 did provide some limits and closures but even with the required precautions, it was very relaxing. The house is open, has a well appointed kitchen and a fantastic deck with side lawn that we enjoyed every night with cookouts and a nice glass of wine as we sat and talked as a family. The owners were very responsive and took care of any minor issues one might find in a historical home. The weather was a bit warmer than usual but not oppressive - fans in the upstairs rooms are adequate as even on hot days the Maine evenings are cool. You are an easy drive to the big attractions like Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor but also close to some very charming villages. We rented a 22 foot Boston Whaler out of the marina in South Brooksville and toured the coast and stopped at a number of small islands - highly recommend this as a day adventure - bring a cooler with drinks and lunch and really see the Maine Coast - boats have GPS with nautical charts so navigation is quite easy. We have been fortunate to stay at VRBO properties around the world and we would visit this one again.

Great house in a great location
My family and I really enjoyed our vacation in Maine, especially in Castine. The house on Main Street is comfortable and equipped with everything you need to cook meals and enjoy family time (games, puzzles, and internet). The house is well located to go to the swimming beach or into town.

Fabulous 50th gathering
Me, hubby, kids, and 6 friends spent the week here. House is great. Everyone had their own space. And we could gather easily all together. Castine is a quiet town, history and views to explore! We did travel to Bar Harbor one day and Acadia another. Hour plus drive, but doable! Really loved the house, and the owner was very communicative!
