Welcome to Vista Cove: Your Private Coastal Maine Estate
5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 2 Oceanfront Acres | Sleeps up to 14

Escape to the true heart of maritime Maine. Nestled on two private, forested acres along the pristine, serene waters of Dyer Bay, Vista Cove is a newly updated, sweeping waterfront estate in the peaceful Sunset Bay community. Designed for unforgettable family reunions, multi-generation retreats, and classic Atlantic getaways, this warm and inviting home offers the ultimate blend of refined comfort and authentic Downeast charm.

While you'll feel a world away on the shores of our verdant New England fjord, our quiet haven is perfectly positioned for daily adventures:

> 10 Minutes to the breathtaking hiking trails, rugged ocean vistas, and dramatic shoreline of the adjacent Maine Coastal Islands Wildlife Refuge.

> 15 minutes to the the local flavor, fresh lobster food trucks, and convenient groceries of quaint Milbridge.

> 45 minutes on a scenic drive south to the iconic granite peaks and historic carriage roads of Acadia National Park.

The Vista Cove Experience: Where Forest Meets Sea
From the moment you pull down our winding, tree-lined driveway and see the grand covered front porch, you'll feel the pace of life slow down. Our cozy estate is tailor-made for experiencing the tranquil wind-on-water rhythm of forest-framed ebb and tide.

> The Shoreline: Walk down the sweeping lawn and across the footbridge spanning our on-property creek to your private oceanfront beach on Dyer Bay.

> Water Adventures: Your rental includes exclusive use of two kayaks and a canoe, making it effortless to launch directly into the mirror-like inlet for a morning paddle.

> The Oceanfront Deck & Grill: Framed by towering pines, our massive elevated deck features a premium gas grill and plenty of outdoor dining and lounge seating. It is the ultimate spot to enjoy an authentic backyard lobster dinner while watching the sun dip below the water.

> The Creekside Firepit: Gather at twilight around our beautifully positioned firepit, nestled right where the forest meets the bay, for evening storytelling and stargazing under some of the darkest skies on the East Coast.

> Rainy Day Fun: Head down to the generous game space in our walkout basement for a lively tournament of ping pong or foosball -- the perfect hangout spot to keep the crew entertained on a rainy afternoon.

Spaces for Gathering, Remote Work, & Entertaining
Our home balances grand, sun-drenched spaces with modern necessities for longer stays.

> The Great Room & Dining Room: Beautifully lit with large windows that drink in the coastal light. The expansive living space is perfect for evening unwinding, and the large dining room comfortably hosts the whole crew for long, lingering meals.

Property Guidelines & Guest Access
> Exclusive Privacy: Guests have full, exclusive use of the entire 2-acre estate and shoreline.

> Watercraft Safety & Waiver: We are thrilled to share our kayaks and canoe with you! To ensure everyone's safety on the water, we do require all guests to sign a standard liability waiver prior to use.

> Responsible Firepit Use: Our waterfront firepit is a guest favorite. To protect the surrounding pristine Maine woods and coastal ecosystem, we ask that guests practice responsible fire safety, never leave a fire unattended, and ensure it is fully extinguished with water before heading inside for the night.

> Preserving the Serenity (No Parties): Vista Cove is a sanctuary designed for peaceful family gatherings, relaxation, and reconnecting with nature. Because sound carries incredibly far across the quiet waters of the fjord, we ask that our guests help us preserve the tranquil magic of Dyer Bay. Please keep outdoor sound and music to a gentle, respectful volume at all times, and note that our estate is not suitable for large, loud parties or events. We and our wonderful Sunset Bay neighbors deeply appreciate you helping us keep this coastal haven peaceful!
