Beautiful Oceanfront Apartment, scenic views and water access

Truly get away from it all on Little John Island in Yarmouth, ME. Accessible by car from Cousins Island, Little John Island sits quietly in Casco Bay, but is just minutes away from Yarmouth Village, Freeport outlet shopping, and Portland's Old Port. Whether you are looking to sit back, relax and enjoy the calming waters and scenic views of Casco Bay, or you want to get out and experience all that Southern Maine has to offer, this is the place to be. Newly constructed in 2013, our second floor studio apartment has a queen bed and full size futon allowing 3 people to sleep comfortably. The kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, 2-burner stove large double basin sink, toaster oven, microwave and is fully outfitted with cookware, plates, utensils, and entertaining supplies. There is a separate dining area with a table and chairs for 4 along with seating for 2 at the bar. The living room area, with 2 chairs, a futon, and a large coffee table, is a cozy area to play games or sit and visit while looking out onto the water. The 3/4 Bathroom also houses a stackable washer/dryer and linens for the unit. Off the dining area, there is a deck with 4 chairs and 2 small tables where you can sit and enjoy the breeze off the water and look out onto Casco Bay. There is also a small grill located on the deck. Outside there are stairs down to the water, where you can walk along the rocks, go for a swim, or go paddling on one of the kayaks available for use with rental. If you prefer to stay on land, Little John Island provides a wonderful setting for walking or biking (bikes are provided). There is ample parking allowing for friends and family to come join you. Just a short drive North, you will find Freeport, which is home to numerous outlet stores, restaurants, a movie theater, and the LL Bean flagship store. Journeying a short ways South and you will find all the shops, restaurants, and history that the Old Port has to offer. There are also multiple restaurants and bars in Yarmouth as well as a supermarket. Very easy access to I-295 and I-95 for those interested in exploring other parts of the state. Also very close to Rte. 1 which will take you for a scenic drive up the coast of Maine.

Relaxing, beautiful stay

My 2 girl friends and I loved our stay on Little John Island. Close enough to Portland to pop in when we wanted, but lots of beautiful walking, swimming, and kayaking opportunities right in the backyard. Little John Island is truly a gem and we would love to come back!

Perfect home base for exploration

The Anchor Loft was the perfect location for my kids and I. Situated snugly on Little John Island, you cross a narrow bridge to get to the property. Once you are there its just steps to the water and the beautiful local flora and fauna. Elsewhere on the island is the Little John preserve where you can hike and visit the beach. The loft itself was clean and smartly stocked. The beds and chairs were comfortable. The outdoor raised seating was perfect for quiet nights enjoying nature. We would definitely return.

Great Coastal Retreat

Located for easy access to the must-see locations on coastal Maine. Apartment is as pictured and described. Very cute and has everything for any length of stay. Go explore off island or stay put and enjoy the ocean scenery, the nice walks at the perserve and at the water. Near many restaurants, shopping and recreational areas. Hosts are very nice and allow for privacy on their property. Their Goldens are adorable, well-behaved, and very friendly if they decide to pay a visit. Highly recommend!

Lovely waterfront getaway

We had a wonderful mini retreat at the charming anchor loft! The loft had everything we needed, carefully designed, furnished, and organized, spotlessly clean, and with views of water everywhere. The hosts were available and responsive. We enjoyed easy access to walking trails and time sitting on the porch. We loved this place!

Beautiful place, great based for trips up and down coast

This was a beautiful apartment in a great location to make day trips up and down the coast. The property is amazing, overlooking an inlet off the bay. The only nit I’d have is the part about having a beach available - at least during early August, that beach is non-existent, covered by beautiful grasses, and the swing of the tides means even if the grass weren’t there, for a good chunk of the day you’re looking over tidal mudflats. Still beautiful, but we brought beach chairs thinking there’d be a beach and there wasn’t.

Great loft in a beautiful location

My husband and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay at the Anchor Loft. The location is absolutely beautiful! Private and peaceful, yet convenient to restaurants and shopping. The area is great for biking, and also several walking trails are close by. The loft was spotless, and included everything we needed for our stay. The bed was comfortable, and the loft is well designed with plenty of drawers and closet space. I especially enjoyed the ocean breeze while sitting on the deck! We will be back!

Beautiful Spot on the Bay

While the pictures are great - they did not do this beautiful spot justice. The apartment is clean, open with plenty of room and anything you need. The deck overlooks beautiful Casco Bay, and at low tide you have access to your own little rocky beach area on this quiet little island. Paul and his wife were great, and very responsive whenever we needed something. The centralized location was perfect for us to site see many places in a short period of time. I will definitely be back - thank you for a great experience!

If you are looking for peace, you’ve found it

The Anchor Loft is the perfect size for the solo traveler or a duo and has everything you need to live comfortably for your getaway. Very clean, up to date, well maintained, and in a quiet, peaceful, and absolutely gorgeous setting. Far superior to a hotel for the same or a lesser price. If you need anything while at the property, Paul is very responsive, personable, and kind. Very easy to make trips into town or nearby Portland and Freeport. A great place to come back to after a longer day trip in the region for hiking, sailing, lighthouse touring etc. Several good food options in Yarmouth and Freeport as well if, like me, you don’t want to cook on your vacation and like to have plenty of good options close by - I recommend the Royal River Grillhouse for a really good dinner. I will be back.

cute apartment, fun location

The apartment was perfect for a quick get away with my husband. It is very private. Our original plans fell through, so we improvised things to do. It took about 15 minutes to drive into Portland for the day. There are plenty of hiking spots in the area, including the nature reserve that is an easy walk from the apartment and a longer trail into Yarmouth. We used the bikes provided and took the ferry to Chebeague island and biked around stopping at many unique beaches. We would stay there again in a heart beat.

View!

Where to start??!! The view and the location of the property are so beautiful. The apartment is cozy yet spacious and offers plenty of windows and a balcony where you can look out at the water while sipping your morning coffee. The property is located in walking distance to the preserve which is a huge bonus! There’s a beach on the property where you can go and swim,collect seashells,crab or just relax! Paul and Linda are so welcoming and very accommodating! We fell in love with Maine during our stay and we highly recommend booking this property so you can experience and explore all that Maine has to offer!

Mother Son Adventure

We had the most peaceful time getting away to beautiful Long John Island and Paul and Linda made it possible! Their place is perfection. My 2 year old and I stayed for 10 days and everything from the moment we got there made me feel safe, at peace, and calm. I was slightly nervous being alone with my son and without my husband and I left in tears bc it was so magical I wanted to stay longer!! Every detail of their home is perfect. Clean, well laid out, bigger than pictures show, and the location is ideal. Paul and Linda thought of everything and all of our needs were met! Paul even helped me one morning put a bike seat on one of his bikes for my son so we could bike around the.m neighborhood. It was close to Freeport and Portland, and we spent 10 full days adventuring, hiking, biking, playing in the tide pools, and then coming home to a peaceful, restful place everyday at the anchor loft. I pray to return one day with my husband so he can share in the magic both my son and I felt there! Thank you so much!!!
