Summer Season 2013

VISTA LINEKIN COTTAGE
We are filling up fast for the 2013 summer season.  If you have an interest in the cottage on Ocean Point we only have two summer weeks available.  Don't dismiss the months of June and September for your visit.  June is the occasion of our annual Windjammer Festival and is still relatively quiet.  September and October are my favorite months of the year.  The days are warm and the nights are cool.  You can still catch a boat trip and eat out at one of our great area restaurants.  Visit www.homeaway.com for an up to date calendar.  The property number is 162110.

MACKEREL SKY SUITE
Our cozy one bedroom apartment in the harbor is a great way to experience our local way of life.  We are within walking distance of McSeagull's restaurant, a great place to listen to local music and have a cocktail.  Spend an afternoon looking at books from local authors at Sherman's or catch the ferry to Monhegan Island and walk around the scenic island paths.  For an up-to-date calendar visit www.homeaway.com. The property number is 300229.

Carrying on the Family Business

Our son started lobstering on his own this summer.  He has been an apprentice for the last 3-4 years.  He now has his own boat and is using his grandfather's pot buoy colors. He fishes in Linekin Bay where the Tibbett's family has fished for generations.  My mother's family, the Brewers, fished the waters of Southport Island, one town over.

Vista Linekin Cottage, East Boothbay, Maine

Exterior Details

The cottage was recently opened up for the 2012 rental season. The water has been turned on and the shutters taken off and put away. The cleaning crew will be in soon to make everything perfect for our guests.   This full acre property is a great place for kids to explore. There are wooded paths, tide pools, wildflowers, birds and much more to entertain and delight people of all ages. The road the cottage sits on loops back onto itself making it a great spot for morning walks or family bike rides.  Bring your own boat or rent one.  We have a mooring for our guests just off of the beach.

View from the street side of the cottage.  The roof was shingled a few weeks ago.

View from the right side.  The twin bedroom is on the front corner and the master bedroom is on the bay side adjacent to the deck. 

The cottage sits on a bluff overlooking Linekin Bay and the town of Boothbay Harbor.

The beach path meanders down to the shore.  We had this ramp put in last year.

This is the beach at low tide.  

This view shows the large front yard and gives you an idea of the great views from the back deck.
