Dream Spring Break in Maine: Where I’d Go if Money Was No Object

Maine has long been known nationwide as Vacationland, and that's true even for Mainers. Those lucky enough to live in the Pine Tree State never have to cross state lines to find a magnificent beachfront escape, a quiet retreat by the lake, or even a mountain-filled adventure. But few things offer a quintessential Maine experience like one particularly stunning Airbnb in Cutler, Maine. Known as Coasters' Chance, this authentic 18th-century Maine cottage is like something from a movie set -- and best of all, it's just as comfortable as it is lovely. So save on airfare and make the drive to this beautiful vacation home; if you can splurge, you'll agree that it's worth every penny.

Coasters' Chance greets you with its quintessential coastal shingles, white-trimmed windows, Adirondack chairs, and the stunning coastline. It's love at first sight. You'll find this cottage at the end of a private driveway, allowing for total seclusion and privacy. The home can accommodate up to eight guests; three bedrooms have five beds and three bathrooms.

The cottage is perched on a private peninsula overlooking the Bold Coast's Cutler Harbor. This allows for 180-degree water views and an experience of the quintessential Maine landscape: towering pines, craggy cliffs, and water.

Originally a captain's cottage built in the 1760s, the space has been lovingly restored and renovated, offering guests the perfect blend of history and luxury. Take your time exploring the interior, and you'll be wholly enchanted by the exposed beams, hardwood floors, abundance of windows, cozy seating, and impeccable design.

The three bedrooms include a King suite, a Queen suite, and a kids' loft upstairs with two single beds and one double bed. The loft is located off the original staircase, which is very steep and only recommended for older children or young adults. Each bedroom is beautifully appointed, with everything you'll need for a cozy stay. Plush bed toppers and top-notch linens ensure you'll get quality rest here.

During the day, you can take advantage of all this unique Maine destination offers. Cutler is renowned for its breathtaking coastline, beautiful hiking trails, and closeness to Machias Seal Island, home to the Atlantic puffins.

But the best part about this Maine escape is that you don't need to leave the property to enjoy the region's most stunning views. Lounge in an Adirondack chair and enjoy the salty breeze -- there's nothing better. Oh, and when you're ready for food, make yourself at home in the gourmet kitchen, complete with everything you need for entertaining. And the best part of all? The hosts will provide you with complimentary lobsters for one night for a truly unforgettable meal!

Just so you know, the upstairs of the home has not been winterized, so if booking after October 1st, a maximum of six guests is recommended. So, what do you think?
