Walk to restaurants/ Weekly discount/No pet fee/ Water views / Fire pit 🔥

Come for a relaxing stay at our comfortable 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home 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 know times are tough right now so we work very hard to provide the best value for your money! You will not find another property as welcoming and well maintained at this price point! 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 has all of the comforts of home and has great views of Campobello Island and the Lubec Narrows. You can sit on the deck and watch the boats come in to town or 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 and kitchen are not extremely large because the house was built in 1883. The bedrooms are all a generous size and all beds have new comfortable mattresses with lots of pillows and extra blankets. 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. 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 tub only 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 ride our bikes 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 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 spices, oil, 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.

Wonderful vacation home!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house is very large, and the hosts have added so may extra touches, that make it really feel like a home. It's beautifully decorated, and the kitchen is equipped with anything that you might need. There is a great guest book with a lot of info about local dining, places of interest, and lots of info about the house. All in all, it is a gorgeous house, with all the extras you could ask for. The hosts, Damon and Jamie, are so kind, and were very quick to respond when I had a question. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Lubec!

August in Lubec
We had a great visit to this pretty home! Everything was clean and fresh. The pastel seaside colors set the mood for a relaxing few days. The crow's nest at the top of the house was a great spot for a morning cup of coffee. We appreciated the convenience to Campobello and the easy walk to Lubec restaurants, walking paths and the shore. The collection of maps, menus and pamphlets was very helpful for last-minute first-time visitors to the area.

Beautiful and relaxing
We visited for 4 days. The home was very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed and a few extras. The property is a short walk to the small village. We spent some time at Lubec Brewery got pizza at a place that was a 2 minute walk that was very good. We visited Quoddy park and the lighthouse, went on a whale watch. Only saw 3 whales but lots of seals, eagles and porpoises. Also took the boat from cutler to see the puffins I had scheduled that trip back in March. We also went on a few hikes on Cobscook trails which were beautiful Would stay here again

Beatiful home in a beautiful area!
The house was very clean with lots of amenities. The hosts thought of everything from s’mores ingredients to toiletries to all of the coffee essentials. Location was perfect! The only reason for the four star on the accuracy of description was because there was no hot tub, which was in the description, but everything else was absolutely amazing and exceeded expectations!

True Maine Experience
Damon’s place was the epitome of a downeast retreat. The location next to the channel between Lubec, Maine and Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada enhanced our experience. Lubec is a quaint little seaside town. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life, this is the place. Damon’s home easily accommodated my family of seven. There is a bathroom on each of the three floors (major bonus!). It is pet friendly, which we were very grateful for. The views are amazing, especially from the 4th floor lookout. We will most definitely be staying again! Thank you to the Martins for sharing their beautiful home and helping our family make special memories.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful property. We enjoyed all of the amenities and comfort of home. The location is a very short walk to Mowry Beach, restaurants, and shops. Morano's Pizza is steps away and it is delicious. We also went to the Fishermans Wharf for a Downeast lobster feed on the deck which we highly recommend. Campobello Island is just a few minutes across the bridge and there is so much to see and do. We hope to make this a yearly trip!

Fantastic location. Unique home that has charm and character. Plenty of space to unwind and relax. Close to downtown Lubec, the water, and Campobello, NB. There is a lot to like about this house — the deck on the 2nd floor and the crow’s nest on the 4th floor. House was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Vacation Property for a Family
We come to Lubec almost every summer & we are excited we finally found a home that perfectly suits our family! The house was very clean with lots of amenities! My kids loved nightly s’mores at the fire pit! The hosts left a lovely s’mores kit for us & wood for the fire pit. The house was very spacious & we truly loved our stay!

More comfortable than my own home
This is the second time staying in this house for us. Upon entering the house my daughter right away occupied "her" room which is on the 3rd floor. I can't find any fault about this house, it is very spacious, modern, very clean, warm, plenty of hot water, very close to the beach, only a few minutes to the grocery store, the house is stocked with supplies of anything you need. On top of that we have the most friendly and helpful hosts, and the local caretaker is there ready to solve any problem you might have (like, looking to buy some clams from a fisherman at the last minute). I highly recommend this place and we would like to come back again!
