(If you search on YouTube for 'Seachimes 61422' you will find a 3 minute video showcasing the property and house.) ***SPECIAL OFFER: Book before January to get $100 OFF!*** Come and relax at a real Maine hideaway! Property is very secluded at the end of a dirt road on 1.3 acres with 100 feet of frontage on Johnson Cove. Johnson Cove is tidal -- 2 high tides and 2 low tides each day.

Lawn area on 3 sides of the house. Built in 1993, this four-bedroom home has many amenities: contemporary furnishings, high speed wireless Internet, river-rock fireplace in the living room, wraparound deck on main living level, upper deck off the master bedroom, and a short walk to the town market, school playground, library and hardware store. Our calendar is updated regularly so please check that first.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Friendship, Maine

The Tidal Experience: Many guests have asked about what it's like on a tidal cove. At high tide the water is more like a pond and will give you about 5-6 hours of swimming and boating as the water is 8-10 feet high. We've been known to jump off the dock and then climb up the ladder. At low tide, you can walk into the mud and even dig for some clams to have as an appetizer later. The time of the high tide changes throughout the year but there are websites where you can find the time for high and low tides. We also provide a tide calendar at the house. Personally, I find it very relaxing to sit on the dock to watch the water slowly leave or return to the cove every day. I am fairly sensitive to smells and can assure you that there is no fishy smell at low tide. If you do want to tromp around in the mud, I recommend rubber boots or swim shoes.

Video Available:: If you search on YouTube for 'Seachimes 61422' you will find a 3 minute video showcasing the property and the house. Please note that we have recently changed the upstairs bedroom from bunk beds to two separate twin beds.

Other Activities: Kayaking, Canoeing, Clamming

Seachimes

asdfghjk New York, New York, USA
Review Submitted: September 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We spent two wonderful weeks at Seachimes. The cottage is beautifully situated and the town of Friendship is perfect for sightseeing both north and south. The owners have provided all the equipment you might need for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying the waterfront. In addition, if problems or questions arise, they are readily available to provide information. The cottage works well for families or couples. We would enjoy returning to the area and to Seachimes.

September family getaway

September visitor Ohio
Review Submitted: September 8, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This is a great secluded house! My family visited the Maine coastline the first week in September and stayed in this house. We booked just a couple weeks before coming, but Peggy was very responsive on any concerns we had and made the booking process very easy.

The house looked great and slept 7 of us with room to spare. It was apparent that the owners had taken care to kid-proof the house which was greatly appreciated. I think that the house, land and views were even better than the pictures and video.

We had a great time in Maine and the house was a significant part of that!

Review Submitted: August 11, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Sea Chimes was a great place for us to meet with friends from Germany and their children. The location was great to see northeastern points like Rockland and Camden, and western points like Damariscotta and Wiscasset. We even day-tripped to Acadia. Everyday was either hiking, kayaking, "lighthousing," or "small-towning." If we had bikes, we would have done that too!

Friendship itself was a pleasant surprise. We rented a fleet of kayaks for one week from Bill, who operates the Inn in Friendship. We got to know many other residents, and they live up to the town's name. One couple at the end of town invited us to their deck to see the great view of the harbor. Another man gave the children eggs from the chickens kept in town. A lobsterman shown us how the nets work. The lady in Wallace's Market promised to reserve some doughnuts for my wife each morning.

I can't believe I have to go back to work!

Review Submitted: August 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Our families had a lovely stay at 'Seachimes" The
house was everything we expected and a bit more.
Great amount of space for kids to run and play
badminton. The setting was lovely even though we
probably picked the "rainiest" week to visit! Funny,
but we had no problem with mosquitos when we
were there!!!!! Friendship is a quaint little town and
a good pace to stay and also discover Rockland,
Camden etc......

Review Submitted: July 19, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My husband and stayed at Seachimes with another couple and their daughter fourth of July week. We were happily surprised when we arrived at the house. It was just as it appeaars in the video. The grounds were lovely.
There is all you need for a pleasant stay, from lobster cookers to kids games even birthday candles! (my husbands birthday). The only suggestion would be is to bring bug spray. With all the vegetation, the mosquitos were abundant. If you're looking for a quiet out of the mainstream area this is it, yet you're still close enough to get out and sightsee.
