Shackford Cove Cottage is a charming cottage with the best view of Shackford Cove in Eastport! It features a relaxing entertaining space on the first floor and two bedrooms and a bath on the second. It was built as a sardine workers' housing dating to the turn of the last century. Converted to a vacation home thirty years ago, it was just updated to make a comfortable vacation home for your stay. Shackford Cove Cottage features unmatched views of Shackford Cove, with an ever changing view from deep water to just a trickle, always teaming with shore birds and the wrecks of ships from when Shackford Cove was home to four shipyards! The home is one open space on the first floor, with glass sliding doors facing the deck with Shackford Cove beyond. The kitchen is fully furnished with a large fridge, gas stove, lots of cookware, and handmaid pine cabinets. The second floor is accessed by a steep, low ceilinged staircase typical for this era of home, but has two large, bright bedrooms for you to enjoy. The larger bedroom has been called the ‘captains Quarters’ since its inception, with a brand new queen bed, a nice sized storage closet, bureau, and a vintage rocking chair. The secondary bedroom pays homage to the previous owner with his collection of birding photographs as well as his photographs of Eastport from a decade ago. It has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress and several wall hooks for hanging. The upstairs bath is tucked in under the eaves with a tub shower combination and a small vanity as well as several storage cabinets. The home has a propane heater on the first floor, an electric radiator in the bathroom, as well as two space heaters in the bedrooms. There are stand fans as well for the occasional warm day! There is no air conditioning. This listing is only for the Shackford Cove Cottage by the water. The Shackford House directly on Water St. is a separate home and not available for guests. You'll love staying at Shackford Cove Cottage because it's less than a 5-minute walk from downtown Eastport! You can easily explore the charming shops on Water St., check out the amazing galleries, and grab a delicious bite to eat. It's the perfect location! Parking is provided by taking the driveway between 9 Water Street and 11 Water Street / Crow Tracks all the way to the back where you will see a shingled cottage. This is a NARROW driveway but easily fits a standard size vehicle but an overly large SUV or RV would have to park on Water Street. If you do need to park a larger vehicle let us know and we can arrange with the owner of the front house for you to park in their space in front of the house and they will park in the driveway. Airbnb has some restrictions, so we can't list the cottage as 9.5 Water St as it’s actually tucked behind 9 Water St. and offers a breathtaking view of Shackford Cove. The Shackford House is not available, but you can easily find your way to Shackford Cove Cottage through the very short path to the side of the house. It's a hidden gem that you won't want to miss! Especially with those views! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 893 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102440000/102439500/102439496/153c77b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eagles Bluff Cottage Eastport - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.6 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=102439496&PinnedHotelID=102439496&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36360000/36359300/36359208/ddf325ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### On the top of ledge overlooking Cobscook Bay Eastport - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=36359208&PinnedHotelID=36359208&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106670000/106668900/106668815/0faa0fe6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New 2-bed apartment with Panoramic Views of Downtown Lubec and Campobello Island Lubec - Washer - Dryer - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=106668815&PinnedHotelID=106668815&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117940000/117938900/117938867/a3403690.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Capen Cottage—easy access to downtown Eastport Eastport - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.0 Wonderful 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=117938867&PinnedHotelID=117938867&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94870000/94862400/94862361/9fb40047.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Cottage on quiet street in Historic Eastport Eastport - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=94862361&PinnedHotelID=94862361&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102440000/102438200/102438178/5f9c598f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Colonels Quarters of Eastport Eastport - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=102438178&PinnedHotelID=102438178&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120280000/120272000/120271915/de0ba3a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Retreat with Loft & Harbor Views in Historic Eastport, Maine Eastport - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=120271915&PinnedHotelID=120271915&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95650000/95647200/95647136/e0427e65.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy two bedroom home with ocean view.

Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Corttage in a Cozy Location with a Great View My husband and I, along with our two dogs, stayed for a couple nights in this adorable cottage. It has a spectacular view and sits right on the water. It is so quiet and serene, and you can walk around the neighborhood or downtown so easily. The kitchen is better than expected with updated appliances, and just about everything you need to make a nice meal (and a good amount of counter space). The cottage is well furnished inside and out with plenty of places to sit, and all choices are comfortable! I will 100% recommend this place to anyone headed this way. Things to keep in mind: -The parking situation is super tight, it is between two buildings, I don't recommend bringing too large of a vehicle. Or multiple vehicles depending on the size. -The bedrooms and bathroom are on the second floor (for anyone with trouble climbing stairs). Thank you, Mia. We truly appreciate the accommodations! ##### Cara O. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter K.
