Sunfish Cove is the perfect year round getaway.

Welcome to Sunfish Cove, where the sunrise greets you in the morning as it beams over Sand Pond. This perfect year round getaway offers Summer fun in the water, amazing Fall colors and lots of opportunities to play in the snow & on the ice over the Winter months, making this a great destination for your year round adventures.
As an extended generational family ourselves, Sunfish Cove is designed to meet the needs of 2-3 families. A wonderful location for a reunion or a gathering of friends looking to spend time together. Adults and children will all enjoy everything this home has to offer.
Relaxation, peace, and let’s not forget overwhelming fun, will take over as you enjoy the generous 300’ of water frontage with a dock for easy access. There is a second dock to additional frontage on a shallow cove.
Sand Pond connects to 3 other ponds with a total of 6 miles in length to paddle and for boating. Enjoy swimming, fishing, and kayaking just a few steps from your front door facing the lake. A patio with a gas grill, picnic tables, and fire pit are located just through the walk out ground floor recreation room.
With just under 3000 square feet of floor space, this quintessential Maine home offers water views from nearly every room and has been updated to provide you added comfort.
Our favorite spot in the house is the enclosed porch with walls of windows that surround the home on three sides to ensure the weather never rains out your lakeside adventure. The spacious main living area has a large screen Smart TV, lots of comfortable seating and a river stone fireplace original to the charming 1920’s home. The dining room boasts a large table with bench seating that has a history going back to the original lake cottage. The remodeled, fully equipped kitchen has all new appliances and features walnut butcher block countertops, a large stainless sink, gas range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and blender. The large island provides ample prep space, as well as, a wonderful place to gather around while preparing a meal.
Multiple powerful ceiling fans and a waterfront breeze keep the area comfortable in any weather. There are four bedrooms, 3 on the upstairs level, 1 on the ground floor level, and a futon in the family room. There is also a remodeled She Shed/Bunk House that can sleep an additional two for summer only “Glamping” (glamorous camping).
All outdoor spaces have generous seating. The dock provides a swim ladder and there are multiple kayaks, a paddle boat and plenty of floating tubes to ensure summer time fun on the water. For more outdoor fun, provided is corn hole, badminton and other fun yard games.
The game room is located on the walkout ground floor level, ensuring that the night owls wanting to stay up late and play don't disturb the early to bed crowd. A Smart TV, as well as, a ping pong table and foosball table round out this large space made to entertain. A refrigerator and microwave round out this great party space.
Amenities include linens and towels, washer/dryer, gas grill, Smart TV's, and wireless internet.
This Private location is just minutes from I-95, There is an 18 hole golf course only 4 miles away. LL Bean, outlet stores and specialty shopping only 40 minutes away. Visit Portland for sightseeing, great restaurants, or take a lobster boat tour and catch your own lobsters.
Parking is available for eight vehicles. Yard space is perfect for a game of catch, bocce, badminton corn-hole or other lawn sports. A large shed is available for storage of fishing gear, or whatever other toys you want to bring.
Please excuse the appearance of the downstairs recreation room as it is currently being renovated. The downstairs bathroom renovations have been completed.

Fantastic!
Such a charming home! It was the perfect place for our family of 5 plus two grandparents. Everything was clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well equipped. We especially liked the front porch. And the lake is beautiful! We really enjoyed swimming and sunning on the dock.

Ice fishing trip
We had a wonderful time in this home. Love the character of an old home with a new addition and modern touches. The porch facing the water was my favorite, can drink coffee and aee the sunrise or sundown. You can even watch those who are ice fishing and take breaks to come inside. The water is right there. We had so much luck with catching fish that we even ate them for supper one evening. We caught trout, large and small bass, yellow perch and a black crappie. It was very exciting. The kitchen was full of utensils. The house is spacious and has plenty of room for a family/friend gathering. Def want to come back for next year ice fishing. Thank you for having us.

Great Space in a Great Place
This was our second time booking this home on the lake for our annual ice fishing trip and it did not disappoint—very nice house and close to Grateful Grain Brewing, the local bait shop, and some stores.

Amazing!!!
We had an absolutely delightful stay at this vacation property! Everything exceeded our expectations – the place looked exactly as pictured, if not better. The well-equipped kitchen had everything we could possibly need, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Amazing trip to Monmouth
This house was exactly what we needed for a northern getaway! We went with a total of 13 people and the house fulfilled our every need. The highlight,of course, was the beautiful location. Right on the water, the property provides everything you need to enjoy yourself.... including fishing gear, kayaks, and a canoe. We spent most of our nights outside enjoying the fire pit and the beautiful sunrises over the pond. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our family gathered from 5 households and had a wonderful vacation at Sunfish Cove! The house is big and very well furnished. We all like to cook and found every item we needed in the kitchen. We took full advantage of the porch to drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Anytime we weren’t in the water we hung out in the yard or on the porch. Over the week we used all the watercraft to explore the lake. That covers everything we look for in a vacation. The house has a long history and we liked the photos of families vacationing there years ago. Our hosts were readily available to answer questions and make sure we had everything we needed. It was a great time!!
