 Seclusive Beauty, September 8, 2008
By JOHN F. ABESS, MD (Charleston, SC)
This house is situated on a bluff of 7 acres overlooking Ryder Cove. It is truly a beautiful setting. Yet, just a short trail takes you to 450' of beach and 2 Kayaks to explore Ryder Cove. It is well protected with calm waters and a number of yachts at anchor. One must travel by ferry from Lincolnville to Islesboro island. This adds an element of excitement and also a feeling of truly escaping the hectic pace of the mainland. The island is home to only 600 people 10 months of the year while the population expands to 2,000 during the 2 months of summer. There are beautiful beaches, unspoiled scenic trails and islands, beautiful homes (mansions called "cottages") and some well known shipyards. Fresh lobster is available. A charter sail boat excursion was a big treat. Plan to experience life as it once existed 2 generations ago. Everybody waves to you while passing in their car and there exists a close connection between the native islanders and their environment
Owner Supplied Testimonials
I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed our visit to your house with the views and its other
amenities. We walked, biked, kayaked, went to Hutchinson Island, grilled, played horseshoes, watched the Red Sox & movies on tv, and did not miss a ferry. On the mainland we went to the Andrew Wyeth musuem and shopped the Main Dog in Camden. We sailed on the Olad which is such a beautiful boat. Our dog enjoyed all the attention that he got on our
travels and appreciated not being sent off to "camp" for our
vacation. Thank you for your concern for us and for all the
information that you provided to us. The information definitely assisted us. We greatly enjoyed our visited to your house and want to thank you for sharing it with us.
My best wishes, M. from state of Georgia 2007
As I sit here in muggy Augusta with my air-conditioning running, Islesboro seem but a distant memory! We had the best time. Things could not have been better-- from your lovely house to wonderful weather. Your house really is amazing. It is so well equipped with everything we could possibly need, not to mention so charming and comfortable. I also think you must have the best view on the island.
The weather was such that we could eat on the porch several nights, which was thoroughly delightful. And of course you even have the wire and baby gates around the porch so that we did
not have to worry about our Yorkie. I particularly enjoyed
all the walking I could do right out your front door and feel as if I were all alone in a virgin forest. I just loved
the trees. We tried out all of your sports equipment too--
horseshoes, bikes, kayaks. We did go back to the mainland
two days, and one of those days we went for a short sail.
Our only problem was that we did not have enough time!
Will you be planning to rent your place next year? If so, we
would love to come back.
Thank you so very much for sharing your special space with us. Nancy 2007
Wanted to touch base and tell you what a wonderful time we had on the island. Thoroughly enjoyed the house, the view, the weather, the rest!!!
Did miss ______'s street lights when they left, as it made the night driveway walks with the dogs easier. Thanks so much for sharing this special spot with us.
L. 2007 from Concord, MA
Islesboro has been the place our whole family returns to year after year for the sheer peace &
beauty everywhere you look -- but this gorgeous view & lovely home trumps all. Thank you for opening your home - toys & all! to us!
The kayaks were just so much fun, the wind storm was thrilling to watch & we've picked up every red & yellow leaf between here & Hutchins Island for leaf projects. Lobster, late nights, & lovely lovely views -- hate to leave this beautiful house & perfect spot. Tom & Kathy G. and all! Oct. 2006
We just wanted to write and tell you both how much our family enjoyed renting your beautiful home on
Islesboro. We had a wonderful week, and your home
was the perfect spot for us. We enjoyed hours on
the deck, our children loved the toys, and all of us slept so comfortably each night. Thank you for
sharing it with us, and we hope to rent it again
next year! Fondly, Jerry & Sarah P.
We were so delighted to be able to stay here again
this year, especially a treat for us now, since we
lost our own home to Hurricane Katrina. It was such a comfort to be somewhere familiar and so very beautiful. We loved the kayaks and enjoyed our paddling in the cove. One evening as we returned from Dark Harbor we saw a ringneck pheasant by the lupines at the Main Rd, then we saw a deer in the blueberry meadow, and a jack rabbit on the path to the house! Islesboro is such a refreshing place, and the views from your home are a spectacular wonder. Dashka & Larry L., New Orleans, LA June, 2006
What a wonderful time we had at your lovely home. It was a perfect place for our family to relax and be together. We enjoyed your pretty deck overlooking
the water. The peacefulness of the island was just
the right solution to our family sadness with our
dad's passing in June. Thanks so much for making it the right setting for all of us - we hope to return! Hope and Art S. July 2006
