stenciled on the side handmade by a Scarborough craftsman.
Theres not a lobster tchotchke or lighthouse watercolor in sight.

We popped popcorn and snuggled in front of the fireplace for a movie night.
It felt like, well, a vacation.
It was a clear, quiet morning, with only birdsong and the water lapping against the boat.

At the end of the property line, a dozen rowboats bobbed in the rising water.
Here’s a complete rundown of what to expect at The Dunes on the Waterfront.
Screened-in porches are outfitted with white wicker furniture and antique pieces.
My favorite touch: Being welcomed at check-in with a fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie.
Activities and Experiences
The water is the big draw here, and the activities follow accordingly.
And it wouldnt be summer in Maine without a beach trip.
In the evenings, gather at the fire pit overlooking the waterfront for smores as the sun goes down.
Family-friendly Offerings
Theres nothing kid-specific on site per se.
I traveled with a toddler in tow and felt comfortable and at ease.
The propertys next stage will include fully ADA-accessible cottages, but theres no specific timeline yet.
