Saltwater Serenade

Experience a Storybook Maine Getaway!
Welcome to Saltwater Serenade—your dreamy, rustic cabin escape on the breathtaking Maine coast!

Location, Location, Location!
Nestled on a quiet peninsula in Gouldsboro, Maine, Saltwater Serenade puts you steps from your own private sandy beach. The ocean views are unforgettable. You’ll wake to the sound of waves and fresh sea air, and end each day with breathtaking sunsets from your spacious back porch.

Wake Up by the Waves
Start your mornings with the soothing sound of surf and the scent of fresh salt air. Our private sandy beach is perfect for swimming, kayaking, or simply soaking up the sun. Unwind on the spacious back porch, where you’ll enjoy unforgettable sunsets and a gentle, salty breeze. At night, gather around the cozy wood stove or stargaze under a brilliant sky.

Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort
Originally built in 1935, Saltwater Serenade is a lovingly updated family cabin with all the essentials—WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen (perfect for preparing fresh, local seafood!), and a clean, spacious Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Sleep peacefully in the comfortable bedroom with a double bed, or the bright sleeping nook with a queen bed and panoramic water views.

Pet-Friendly Paradise
Bring your furry friend! Dogs are welcome and will love exploring the beach by your side.

You’ll be close to Acadia National Park (less than an hour away!), the historic town of Ellsworth (28 miles), and charming Winter Harbor (just 10 minutes, with ferry access to Bar Harbor and local shopping).

  Holly C from Scotia, New York recommends this vacation rental

  We couldn’t give this a high enough rating. It’s so much better than the pictures can even capture. The cabin has plenty of space both inside and out. We were completely isolated even with a property hidden next door. The sunrises were spectacular though not to be outdone by the sheer expanse of the night sky you can see with little to no light pollution. 10/10!!

  Private spot right on the water. Gorgeous sunrises. We saw seals, eagles, herons, deer, rabbits, and more all from the front porch. Perfect for our extended weekend getaway. We will be back.

  The cabin was well appointed with everything we needed and it was clean and comfortable including the bed and linens. The outside was all that it said in title. Breath-taking views and calming with the sound of waves lapping the shoreline. We slept like babies!

  John Z from Dallas, PA recommends this vacation rental

  Had a cozy romantic getaway. It's the perfect size for a couple. The views are great, awesome deck to relax and watch the waves. It's very much out of the way so you will not be bothered and super quiet, just wildlife noises. Pretty close to bar harbor so you can do a day trip there and see all the shops and enjoy the food.
