The owners of this sweet BnB are helpful, kind, and attentive. Bittersweet offers a lovely homemade breakfast and easy walk into town and the beach. Find yourself a comfy seat indoors, out on the lawn, or in a rocking chair on the porch. Welcome to the good life in coastal Maine.

Lovely stay close to the beach

We came for the weekend to visit the area, and had such a lovely stay. We have stayed in several bed and breakfast before, and this was one of the most clean locations we have stayed at. The bed was comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and the location of the property itself was very convenient to visiting the local area. We were able to walk to short sands beach in about 10 minutes, and also walked to dinner at the local lobster pound as well. Our hosts were also very friendly and offered good suggestions of sites to visit in the local area. We would definitely stay here again!
