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.

Thanksgiving gathering
A lovely, clean house with a peaceful view of the water, this was a great choice for a family gathering. We were able to seamlessly host Thanksgiving, with new appliances and so much already provided. The attention to detail and differentiated space made for a great flow. We also traveled with two small kids, and were easily able to adapt. Highly recommend this for a cozy winter space, and I can see how it would be a delight in the summer as well!

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!

Such a charming home! It was the perfect place for our family of 5 plus two grandparents. Everything was clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well equipped. We especially liked the front porch. And the lake is beautiful! We really enjoyed swimming and sunning on the dock.

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!

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.

Perfection!
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.

Excellent trip
We loved the property. There was plenty of room for all our guests, and despite being older home everything was well maintained. There was also many things to do on property indoors and outdoors - videos, ping pong, foos ball, paddle boat, etc. I highly recommend for future vacations.

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.

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.

Beautiful house on Sunrish Cove
Our family enjoyed our four day weekend at the house on Sunfish cove celebrating our son’s graduation from Bates College over a memorial day Weekend. The graduation day was 90 Degrees so we enjoyed coming back and swimming and taking the boats out on the pond. We had a wonderful time and there was plenty of room for some of his friends to come by after the graduation. We loved the spot and highly recommend it !

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!
