McCollum House is a lovely place to have tea and blueberry pie on the back deck while the kids hunt for sea glass on the shore below. Right up from the water, you can enjoy the lupines and roses growing up the bank as well as peaceful views across the Moosabec Reach to Beals Island, play croquette on the lawn or rent kayaks nearby. Perfect for photography, painting or just curling up with a good book. Use of entire house and property, including shoreline. Tides are 15 feet so at high tide the shoreline is small. Water is too cold for swimming. We have an emergency local handyman who is available if something arises. Working fishing village where lobster boats sail in and out of the Moosabec Reach daily. Jonesport is "real Maine" not a tourist town. Sometimes shrouded in fog and usually at least 10 degrees cooler than 15 minutes inland, it can be a hideaway from the world. The cottages are located on a bank above the shoreline. Moosebec Reach is a working lobster boat harbor. The shore/beach is perfect for hunting for sea glass, discovering things that wash ashore and watching for seals and eagles, not for swimming or playing in the sand. Water is very cold. Tides are about 15 feet, so shore looks very different between high and low tides.
