Sunfish Cove is the perfect year round getaway.

Welcome to Sunfish Cove, where the sunrise greets you in the morning as it beams over Sand Pond. This perfect year round getaway offers Summer fun in the water, amazing Fall colors and lots of opportunities to play in the snow & on the ice over the Winter months, making this a great destination for your year round adventures.
As an extended generational family ourselves, Sunfish Cove is designed to meet the needs of 2-3 families. A wonderful location for a reunion or a gathering of friends looking to spend time together. Adults and children will all enjoy everything this home has to offer.
Relaxation, peace, and let’s not forget overwhelming fun, will take over as you enjoy the generous 300’ of water frontage with a dock for easy access. There is a second dock to additional frontage on a shallow cove.
Sand Pond connects to 3 other ponds with a total of 6 miles in length to paddle and for boating. Enjoy swimming, fishing, and kayaking just a few steps from your front door facing the lake. A patio with a gas grill, picnic tables, and fire pit are located just through the walk out ground floor recreation room.
With just under 3000 square feet of floor space, this quintessential Maine home offers water views from nearly every room and has been updated to provide you added comfort.
Our favorite spot in the house is the enclosed porch with walls of windows that surround the home on three sides to ensure the weather never rains out your lakeside adventure. The spacious main living area has a large screen Smart TV, lots of comfortable seating and a river stone fireplace original to the charming 1920’s home. The dining room boasts a large table with bench seating that has a history going back to the original lake cottage. The remodeled, fully equipped kitchen has all new appliances and features walnut butcher block countertops, a large stainless sink, gas range, microwave, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and blender. The large island provides ample prep space, as well as, a wonderful place to gather around while preparing a meal.
Multiple powerful ceiling fans and a waterfront breeze keep the area comfortable in any weather. There are four bedrooms, 3 on the upstairs level, 1 on the ground floor level, and a futon in the family room. There is also a remodeled She Shed/Bunk House that can sleep an additional two for summer only “Glamping” (glamorous camping).
All outdoor spaces have generous seating. The dock provides a swim ladder and there are multiple kayaks, a paddle boat and plenty of floating tubes to ensure summer time fun on the water. For more outdoor fun, provided is corn hole, badminton and other fun yard games.
The game room is located on the walkout ground floor level, ensuring that the night owls wanting to stay up late and play don't disturb the early to bed crowd. A Smart TV, as well as, a ping pong table and foosball table round out this large space made to entertain. A refrigerator and microwave round out this great party space.
Amenities include linens and towels, washer/dryer, gas grill, Smart TV's, and wireless internet.
This Private location is just minutes from I-95, There is an 18 hole golf course only 4 miles away. LL Bean, outlet stores and specialty shopping only 40 minutes away. Visit Portland for sightseeing, great restaurants, or take a lobster boat tour and catch your own lobsters.
Parking is available for eight vehicles. Yard space is perfect for a game of catch, bocce, badminton corn-hole or other lawn sports. A large shed is available for storage of fishing gear, or whatever other toys you want to bring.
Please excuse the appearance of the downstairs recreation room as it is currently being renovated. The downstairs bathroom renovations have been completed.

Wonderful stay!
8 of us stayed for 3 nights to celebrate my parents 60th anniversary and spend some quality time together. The house was great, and had plenty of room for all of us. We especially enjoyed the enclosed porch overlooking the water, the game room, and the boats. We cooked all our meals there so we really appreciated the very well stocked kitchen with most any dish, or gadget you could want. There was an unexpected problem with the furnace but the host was very responsive and helpful in trying to get it fixed, provided extra space heaters, and graciously allowed us extra time for checkout for the hassle. We had a fantastic time here making wonderful family memories and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Perfect lake house
Beautiful house and property. Clean, well-maintained house with plenty of privacy and space for our multiple-family reunion to vacation in. Carl was very responsive and helpful -- thank you! We enjoyed the kayaks, hearing the loons at night, swimming in the lake. The kitchen was well stocked. Great experience!

Perfect home for families
Pack your bag, that’s all you need, the hosts have thought of everything, they were wonderful to work with when planning our trip. Upon arrival we were greeted with a large, clean, beautiful home. We vacationed with our three sons and their families and there was plenty of room. Loved the porch! The kitchen is so well stocked, the kids even baked! The downstairs with the ping pong and foosball tables were great, lots of room for all kinds of games, tv etc. Large yard, lots of “toys” to use, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, different size life jackets and floats. The she shed is so adorable, we used it as a quiet space for reading lol. I highly recommend sunfish cove, you will love it!

We had a wonderful vacation with our adult children and their families. The house was a dream for us. The big wrap around porch was a perfect place to eat, gather, play games and store our coolers etc. The sleeping arrangements were great.. and the she shed was a nice getaway. The waterfront was lovely and perfect for our boats and for the kids(ages 5-12) to jump off.

Family Vacation
We had a great time on the water with the Kayaks. We were there during a heat wave and the water provided relief. There is no air conditioning so we did our best with fans. The house had so many sitting areas and tables that worked great with our family for games and socializing. Carl and Jill were great hosts.

Great spot for summer get-away
We loved the house and the big wrap around enclosed porches make it spacious! The lake is quiet and beautiful, the property is nicely private for a lake front home. The house clearly dates way back, but necessary updates and upgrades have been done to make it comfortable and much more of a home than a camp. Hope to stay again!

Ice fishing trip
We had a wonderful time in this home. Love the character of an old home with a new addition and modern touches. The porch facing the water was my favorite, can drink coffee and aee the sunrise or sundown. You can even watch those who are ice fishing and take breaks to come inside. The water is right there. We had so much luck with catching fish that we even ate them for supper one evening. We caught trout, large and small bass, yellow perch and a black crappie. It was very exciting. The kitchen was full of utensils. The house is spacious and has plenty of room for a family/friend gathering. Def want to come back for next year ice fishing. Thank you for having us.

Amazing trip to Monmouth
This house was exactly what we needed for a northern getaway! We went with a total of 13 people and the house fulfilled our every need. The highlight,of course, was the beautiful location. Right on the water, the property provides everything you need to enjoy yourself.... including fishing gear, kayaks, and a canoe. We spent most of our nights outside enjoying the fire pit and the beautiful sunrises over the pond. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our family gathered from 5 households and had a wonderful vacation at Sunfish Cove! The house is big and very well furnished. We all like to cook and found every item we needed in the kitchen. We took full advantage of the porch to drink coffee and watch the sunrise. Anytime we weren’t in the water we hung out in the yard or on the porch. Over the week we used all the watercraft to explore the lake. That covers everything we look for in a vacation. The house has a long history and we liked the photos of families vacationing there years ago. Our hosts were readily available to answer questions and make sure we had everything we needed. It was a great time!!

Wonderful Week at Sand Pond!
Beautiful and spacious home for our extended family ranging from ages 2 to 63! The property and lake is very private and peaceful. We saw loons, bald eagles, lots of fish! Waterfront is where we spent most of the day swimming, kayaking, fishing and floating! We loved having morning coffee and meals on the bright screened in porch and the house stayed cool with the open windows and screened doors. Host was responsive to all of our questions. Would love to go back tomorrow if we could!

We are a group of nine ranging in age from 1 to 57 and this house was just perfect for us! Fully equipped and comfortable. I was worried that no a/c would be an issue, but it was not. Ceiling fans and breezes keep the house comfortable during the day and even cool at night. Everything from the house to the canoe and kyaks, fire pit and porch were more than we could have asked for! Perfect way to relax and enjoy family!

The Best Week!
We had the most amazing week at this home. The location was exactly what we were looking for. The house had everything and more you could possibly need to accommodate a large group. We rented a pontoon boat and aside from grocery shopping and one night out to visit a couple local breweries we never had to leave! We rent a house in NH/maine every year and this year had a large group ranging from 17 months to 79 years and all agreed it was one of the best we’ve stayed in so far! The owners were quick to respond the our questions and lovely to chat with. We hope to rent again in the future!

A fantastic summer retreat!
We had one of our best New England summer vacation's at Carl and Jill's home. The house suited our family of 5 plus a few friends perfectly. There were plenty of spots throughout the house where everyone could do their own thing (like the hammock, swing, comfy chairs on the lawn, porch table, porch couch, etc) or gather together. We had a few outdoor fires and dinners on the side patio along with the resident mallard duck that loved lounging on the dock. The beds were comfy and the linens soft. This was our first time at this lake and it was beautiful. The water was clear and we all swam right off the front dock. Even though there are houses on either side, it was a quiet spot with plenty of privacy. We all enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boat. The surrounding area was a lot of fun too. We found a great ice cream spot (Fielder's Choice) and a farm with homemade cider donuts. My husband and I had a great time golfing at two local courses- both were well maintained and everyone was super nice. Jill and Carl were attentive and check in and check out were very easy. We are looking forward to coming back next summer.
