About this property
Sunfish Cove is the perfect year round getaway.
Welcome to Sunfish Cove, where the sunrise greets you in the morning as it beams over Sand Pond. This perfect year round getaway offers Summer fun in the water, amazing Fall colors and lots of opportunities to play in the snow & on the ice over the Winter months, making this a great destination for your year round adventures. As an extended generational family ourselves, Sunfish Cove is designed to meet the needs of 2-3 families. A wonderful location for a reunion or a gathering of friends looking to spend time together. Adults and children will all enjoy everything this home has to offer. Relaxation, peace, and let’s not forget overwhelming fun, will take over as you enjoy the generous 300’ of water frontage with a dock for easy access. There is a second dock to additional frontage on a shallow cove. Sand Pond connects to 3 other ponds with a total of 6 miles in length to paddle and for boating. Enjoy swimming, fishing, and kayaking just a few steps from your front door facing the lake. A patio with a gas grill, picnic tables, and fire pit are located just through the walk out ground floor recreation room. With just under 3000 square feet of floor space, this quintessential Maine home offers water views from nearly every room and has been updated to provide you added comfort. Our favorite spot in the house is the enclosed porch with walls of windows that surround the home on three sides to ensure the weather never rains out your lakeside adventure. The spacious main living area has a large screen Smart TV, lots of comfortable seating and a river stone fireplace original to the charming 1920’s home. The dining room boasts a large table with bench seating that has a history going back to the original lake cottage. The remodeled, fully equipped kitchen has all new appliances and features walnut butcher block countertops, a large stainless sink, gas range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and blender. The large island provides ample prep space, as well as, a wonderful place to gather around while preparing a meal. Multiple powerful ceiling fans and a waterfront breeze keep the area comfortable in any weather. There are four bedrooms, 3 on the upstairs level, 1 on the ground floor level, and a futon in the family room. There is also a remodeled She Shed/Bunk House that can sleep an additional two for summer only “Glamping” (glamorous camping). All outdoor spaces have generous seating. The dock provides a swim ladder and there are multiple kayaks, a paddle boat and plenty of floating tubes to ensure summer time fun on the water. For more outdoor fun, provided is corn hole, badminton and other fun yard games. The game room is located on the walkout ground floor level, ensuring that the night owls wanting to stay up late and play don't disturb the early to bed crowd. A Smart TV, as well as, a ping pong table and foosball table round out this large space made to entertain. A refrigerator and microwave round out this great party space. Amenities include linens and towels, washer/dryer, gas grill, Smart TV's, and wireless internet. This Private location is just minutes from I-95, There is an 18 hole golf course only 4 miles away.

We had a delightful stay at Sunfish Cove with our adult children for Christmas. Carl and Jill were great to communicate with, the house accommodated 7 adults and a dog really well. We had a beautiful snow the night of our arrival and the driveway was fully plowed out for us. The 2 gentlemen who plowed us out were great. The house is clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the ping pong table and fooseball table. We will definitely come again.
A long needed get together ages 3 to 79. 3 generations had a great time catching up. Property was clean and as advertised. Very Happy we chose Sunfish Cove!
We stayed 7 nights in September at this beautiful home. Very spacious and plenty of comfortable beds. The wrap around enclosed porch and water views were amazing. Most of our time was spent at the property and on the lake. Only the 4-year-old was brave enough for swimming though. Cool evening and warmer days were pleasant. We also enjoyed the local shops and Farm Stand. The cider doughnuts there are highly recommended.
This was our second time booking this home on the lake for our annual ice fishing trip and it did not disappoint—very nice house and close to Grateful Grain Brewing, the local bait shop, and some stores.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and the amenities were perfect. The kids had fun with all the games. The hosts responded quickly to all questions and had great suggestions for activities in the area. When we return we will be sure to stay again.
Our family had such a wonderful time at Sunfish Cove. The property is right on the water and the morning sunrises were the absolute best. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 adults, 2 children, and 2 dogs. The kitchen was spacious with plenty of room for everyone. The sunroom overlooking the lake was perfect for morning coffee and for just hanging out. We enjoyed many mornings/afternoons boating and exploring the Tacoma Lakes and also took advantage of the many kayaks and canoes provided for our use. Great property, cannot wait to come back!!!
Really enjoyed our week at Sunfish cove! Beautiful lake and charming house with great feel and lots of space. Beautiful wrap around porch and lots of amenities. Hosts were very responsive to all requests.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The house is large and filled with charm. It was the perfect spot for our extended family of 11. The home is well stocked, and the hosts are very quick to respond to any queries. Most importantly, nothing beats that lake frontage. Fishing was good too- we caught trout, bass and perch.
We had an absolutely delightful stay at this vacation property! Everything exceeded our expectations – the place looked exactly as pictured, if not better. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we could possibly need, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!
We loved the house and the big wrap around enclosed porches make it spacious! The lake is quiet and beautiful, the property is nicely private for a lake front home. The house clearly dates way back, but necessary updates and upgrades have been done to make it comfortable and much more of a home than a camp. Hope to stay again!
Such a charming home! It was the perfect place for our family of 5 plus two grandparents. Everything was clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well equipped. We especially liked the front porch. And the lake is beautiful! We really enjoyed swimming and sunning on the dock.
We loved the property. There was plenty of room for all our guests, and despite being older home everything was well maintained. There was also many things to do on property indoors and outdoors - videos, ping pong, foos ball, paddle boat, etc. I highly recommend for future vacations.
This is a fabulous house & location. The communication with the host was excellent. We had a wonderful family Easter weekend. Everyone is excited to return!
Celebration of my 70th birthday was awesome. Sand Pond was frozen over and provided some great Ice fishing. The house was awesome and had everything we needed to make it special. Room for family and a couple friends. Watched the NFC championship games with room for everyone. I highly recommend this location for a family getaway.
Our family had a wonderful week at this amazing home. Beautiful view, huge house stocked with everything we could possibly need and loads of kayaks and other boats. Saw the loons each day as they swam right by the house. Owners are friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this vacation home!!!!
They made our stay great! Super accommodating and helpful. House is cozy and comfortable.. house has everything you need… just bring shampoo and soaps as that wasn’t included. If we come back to Maine we will stay there
Beautiful house and property. Clean, well-maintained house with plenty of privacy and space for our multiple-family reunion to vacation in. Carl was very responsive and helpful -- thank you! We enjoyed the kayaks, hearing the loons at night, swimming in the lake. The kitchen was well stocked. Great experience!
We had a great time on the water with the Kayaks. We were there during a heat wave and the water provided relief. There is no air conditioning so we did our best with fans.
The house had so many sitting areas and tables that worked great with our family for games and socializing. Carl and Jill were great hosts.
We had a wonderful vacation with our adult children and their families. The house was a dream for us. The big wrap around porch was a perfect place to eat, gather, play games and store our coolers etc. The sleeping arrangements were great.. and the she shed was a nice getaway. The waterfront was lovely and perfect for our boats and for the kids(ages 5-12) to jump off.
This house was exactly what we needed for a northern getaway! We went with a total of 13 people and the house fulfilled our every need. The highlight,of course, was the beautiful location. Right on the water, the property provides everything you need to enjoy yourself.... including fishing gear, kayaks, and a canoe. We spent most of our nights outside enjoying the fire pit and the beautiful sunrises over the pond. Highly recommend this property.
A lovely, clean house with a peaceful view of the water, this was a great choice for a family gathering. We were able to seamlessly host Thanksgiving, with new appliances and so much already provided. The attention to detail and differentiated space made for a great flow. We also traveled with two small kids, and were easily able to adapt. Highly recommend this for a cozy winter space, and I can see how it would be a delight in the summer as well!
