This well kept, bright and renovated little cottage is nestled 30 feet from a private cove & beach on the Atlantic ocean. It is quiet and perfect for relaxing, strolling the beach and rocks, launching your kayaks and enjoying a firepit on the oceans edge.. A 10 minute walk to the other side of the island brings you to McLoons Lobster Shack, a Maine foodie destination.
Heaven Scent has 2 floors of living area. The upstairs is a large, open room with 2 twin beds, a queen bed, 2 dressers and a chair near the windows overlooking the beach. The ceiling over the beds is just over 6' so taller people will have to stoop. The staircase is a little steep so if you are over 6’ you will have to watch your head. Bed linens and towels for 4 included as well as plenty of blankets. We provide toilet paper (2 rolls) and paper towels(2 rolls) but depending on use you may need to bring extra. The first floor hosts the bathroom, galley kitchen, dining and living area as well as an easy to use propane heater to take the chill out of the shoulder seasons. A futon with an upgraded mattress converts to a full bed. Linens are not provided for this. We have added a clothes dryer in 2022 for your convenience.

The first floor has decks both front and back with a slider opening to the deck facing Lobster Cove and the Atlantic ocean. There is a firepit just beyond the deck that faces the ocean. Lobster cove is a sandy/rocky beach perfect for building sandcastles, searching for treasures or just sitting in your chair watching the sunrise, waves, boats and birds go by. The cottage has a gas grill and a Weber charcoal grill as well as all the pots, pans and dishes needed for most cooking you plan to do during your stay.
