Charming Newly-Renovated Waterfront Cottage in Lubec
The Sanctuary is a charming, newly-renovated two bedroom waterfront cottage with lovely views of the iconic Spark Plug Light and direct access to Lubec’s most beautiful sandy beach. With a waterside sunroom that you won’t want to leave, a new fully-equipped kitchen and bath, comfortable furnishings, and sumptuous cotton bed linens and towels, The Sanctuary is the perfect base for exploring all that Lubec, Campobello and Down East Maine have to offer. The idyllic property offers a true respite from today’s hectic life. Local wildlife includes deer, fox, and river otters and the beautiful beach offers the best shorebird viewing in Maine!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Sanctuary. We had everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing vacation . I especially loved the decor. Just enough decorations to not be visually overstimulating or cluttered in the cottage. The furniture and beds were very comfortable! We practically lived on the porch and on the beach. Thank you!

Lovely picturesque quiet location. Walks on the beach were beautiful. Cottage was decorated in classic Maine vintage which I love! Thoroughly enjoyed Campobello, Quaddy Head State Park, and Lubec and everyone was so friendly. Thank you!

Gorgeous property in gorgeous location. Cottage had everything we needed to be self sufficient for the week. Notes for parents with small kids: the walk to the beach is alongside the creek not the road so think about what you want to carry, upstairs where the twin beds are are skylights and the sun rises very early this far east- travel blackout curtains might be helpful.

Wonderful stay
Hosts were great people, easily accessible and knowledgeable of the local area. Check-in was a breeze. The cottage had all new kitchen appliances and TV while maintaining its original classic Maine cottage character. The property was expansive with wonderful views of the marshland, tidal river and ocean. Easily accessible to downtown Lubec, West Quoddy Light and Park, and the many trails of the Cobscook properties. We highly recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay at this delightful cottage with lots of personality, a postcard view and everything we needed. It didn't feel like a rental but like we were welcomed guests in someone's home. A true gem!

Charming Home with Stunning Views and Thoughtful Hosts
Charming little home with stunning views and easy beach access—perfect for a quiet retreat. The space is small but comfortable and thoughtfully uncluttered. We especially appreciated that there were no strong fragrances—everything felt fresh and clean without being overwhelming.The home technically sleeps five, but the living room is better suited for two to three people. The TV is large, though only two seats offer a great viewing angle. The sun porch was our favorite hangout spot, with comfy furniture and room for five.The kitchen had just enough for simple meals—minimal pots and pans, but functional. Beds were comfortable, linens were high quality, and while the blankets were a bit stiff, we brought extras from home. The bathroom was very clean and seemed recently updated, with soft, new towels. Having a washer and dryer was a big bonus.The host was incredibly responsive and kind. A couple of items listed were missing on arrival, but they quickly delivered what we needed—even purchasing new ones, which we really appreciated.We loved clamming at low tide, watching wildlife, and exploring nearby small towns and trails. The local market had everything we needed, and a larger store was just 35 minutes away.Highly recommend for anyone visiting Lubec who values peaceful surroundings, nature, and wonderful hosts!

Great Stay for Bay of Fundy Half Marathon
We had a great stay at the cottage while in the area for the Bay of Fundy Half Marathon. Not only was this a good location for race weekend (it is also on the course) but it was a great launch point to Campobello Island and beyond. We also did day trips to Eastport, Machias and more with ease from this location. We loved admiring the beautiful art throughout the cottage and I enjoyed having my coffee in the sun room each morning. The beach was a short stroll from the cottage where my toddler loved chasing the seagulls and walking far out at low tide. This was our first visit to Lubec and we are hopeful to return to the cottage in the future to explore the surrounding area a bit more and to run Bay of Fundy race again. Alan was a wonderful host who was responsive and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful trip, Alan!
