Walk to Campobello & beach/Weekly discount/Pets welcome/Water views /Fire pit

Come for a relaxing stay at our charming 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath water view cottage and enjoy the excellent in town location with views of Campobello Island and the Lubec Narrows. It is located by the Roosevelt bridge to Campobello Island and is only a 10 minute walk from Mowry beach and wildlife preserve. From this location you can walk to restaurants and gift shops. We have a small viewing room on the 4th floor where you can get a good view of the town. We have 3 stools salvaged from one of the last sardine packing warehouses up there where you can sit and watch the boats come in. We offer a 10% discount for all law enforcement, and active duty or retired military and first responders, just message us before you make your reservation and we will add the discount. We know times are tough right now so we work very hard to provide the best value for your money! We have a very fast response and resolution time if any issue comes up because we care about your family and our team is here to serve you and make sure you have the best stay possible. Our cancellation policy is very relaxed and reasonable because we understand how quickly plans can change these days so we make exceptions for family issues and inclement weather. We have no pet fee, a low cleaning fee of only $100, and a 10% weekly discount. The Seafarer's Retreat is big house, but the living room and kitchen are small because it was built in 1883. It has lots of charm, great views of Campobello Island and the Lubec Narrows, and an excellent in town location. This house gets the cool coastal breeze and so does not have air conditioning only baseboard heaters for the cold mornings and nights . when you go out exploring on a warm day be sure to leave some windows open to keep the house nice and cool. You can sit on the deck and watch the boats come in to town or during Summer Keys listen to free music from the park next door. The Seafarers Retreat sleeps up 8 adults comfortably, but we market it for 6 because the living room dining room , kitchen and bathrooms are small. The bedrooms are all a reasonable size and all beds have new comfortable mattresses with lots of pillows and extra blankets . The bedrooms do not have chests of drawers, but they do all have closets with hangers and luggage racks. All 4 of the bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors so this home will not be a good fit for guest that have difficulty with climbing stairs. The walk-in showers in the bathrooms are small so if large bathrooms are a must for you our house will not be a good fit. Children of all ages and dogs of all sizes are welcome here! There is plenty of room for your family with 4 bedrooms, and 2 and a half bathrooms. There is a bathroom on each floor, so no walking up or down stairs in the middle of the night. The bathrooms do not have a tubs only small walk in showers, but there is a bathtub for babies in the 3rd story closet. This home is family and pet friendly! You will find a highchair, pack and play, kid sized plates, step stools for tooth brushing, child's toilet seat, a baby gate for the stairs. There is an on-demand generator to weather any storms if you stay during spring or fall months. You can walk or drive and explore Lubec and Campobello. We highly recommend whale watching tours with Downeast Charters (operating from June to mid-September) and taking the ferry to Eastport (runs Thursday- Sunday) where you will find dining and unique gift shops. Lubec has 4 restaurants, a couple of cool gift shops, a fishing pier, the Fisherman's memorial, an old-style hardware store, and an IGA for groceries and alcohol. The restaurants in this area close earlier than in larger towns, most close between 7 and 8pm, so plan on an early dinner. You will be in town, but it is a quiet and peaceful location and the whole town is very laid back. Lubec is a nature lovers paradise, but there is no night life, it is just a small, historic fishing town. If you want an escape from busy city life this is the place for you. Walk or drive across the bridge to Campobello Island and explore the numerous hiking trails there and have tea and cookies at the Roosevelt summer cottage. Campobello is open to you if you have a passport and now you no longer need proof of vaccination. If you like hiking there are lots of trails in the area, we highly recommend the Quoddy head lighthouse's coast guard trails. From the deck you will enjoy a great view of the Roosevelt bridge, the Narrows, and the huge, 23 foot, rise and fall of the tides. It is a 10-minute walk to Mowry beach which is a sandy public beach where you can find sea glass. You follow a rose lined (roses are blooming in late June) path to a sandy beach with a view of Grand Manan Island in the distance. There as a small viewing room on the 4th floor (the Crow's Nest) with windows all around so you can see in all directions. The Retreat has a smart TV with basic cable and 200Mbps high speed internet for streaming and free WIFI. You will find a full kitchen ready for you to prepare a meal. There is a Keurig coffee maker and a variety of k-cups as well as a regular coffee maker. You are our guests, so we make sure you have coffee, creamer, sugar, lots of utensils, and a huge lobster pot! All dogs welcome! No weight limit on your best friend! There are extra personal care items for you such as prepackaged toothbrushes, razors, lotion, etc. just take what you need. Pack some beach combing clothes, hop in your car, and come and relax and recharge at the Seafarers Retreat! No smoking, and please return all TV equipment to its original settings if you make any changes.
