3 Bedroom Cottage in Westport, Westport Island

The DAL House is a renovated, antique, Cape Cod, cottage that sits on the edge of Heal Cove on Westport Island, Maine. The house is part of the Hubbard Point Trust, a 53 acre private land preserve that is also home to the Dunn House, which sits on the western shore of the property. The houses are close enough to rent together for a larger group yet far enough apart that each is very private and quiet. Just .2 mile walk down the driveway. The Hubbard Point Trust is a true “get away from it all” location yet just a short drive to Route 1, midcoast attractions, shopping, antiquing and dining.
Staying at the Hubbard Point Trust is like staying in your own private park. Hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming are all possible as soon as you step out the door!
The DAL house has a large sunroom/family room, kitchen with large dining area, a large first floor bath with washer and dryer, and a spacious first floor master bedroom. The second floor has two more bedrooms and a loft area with an additional twin bed. A first floor bath, bedroom and rear entry ramp make this house very accessible.
You will never want to leave the sunroom with three walls of sliding glass doors that lead to a stone patio in the front with the sweeping lawn that leads down to the cove or the large, sunny deck in the back. Relax on the comfy couch(which is also a pullout bed) or in one of the club chairs or the recliner while looking out onto Heal Cove and it’s islands while being surrounded by the Maine woods. A peaceful retreat to read, relax, meditate, practice yoga or even watch tv. Feel the cool breeze blow in from the cove while listening to the shorebirds and crickets. Watch out over the cove to see gulls, osprey, loon, bald eagle and the occasional lobster boat pulling up their traps or kayakers exploring the cove. You will never tire of the incredible view!
Enjoy coffee in the dining room while the sun rises over the cove. Grill a steak on the Weber charcoal grill on the deck or cook up a lobster dinner in the cottage kitchen and enjoy your seafood dinner while the cool shore breezes blow in. After dinner you can star gaze while you sit around the fire pit and roast marshmallows.
The spacious first floor bedroom has a queen bed, new pillows and crisp sheets. Read a book or watch a little tv on the love seat. Wake up to the beautiful views and sounds of the cove.
On the second floor you will find two bedrooms and a loft area with a skylight. Each bedroom has two twins in each and fresh bedding and pillows. There is also an additional twin bed in the loft area. Both rooms have views of the water, forrest and the barn.
The large first floor bath has a combination tub/shower, a double vanity, and a washer and dryer.
The Hubbard Point Trust is 53 acre private preserve that is yours to explore. Water access is right outside the front door. Fish or swim of the rocks right down in front. Bring a kayak or canoe and drop it in Heal Cove, a tidal cove. We also have suggestions for rental equipment nearby, they will deliver. Bring your boat and launch it at the nearby town landing. There is plenty of parking at the house for your boat. Hike along the shore line and through the woods with its tall pine and low-lying fern. Follow the marked trails and make your way to the point, a great place to watch for seal, to fish, or have a picnic with a stunning view. Take your bike out on the long driveway and out for a spin on the rural roads of Westport Island. The Hubbard Point preserve is a dog's paradise that offers acres to run and fun places to swim and cool off. We are pet friendly and will consider a well behaved dog. Please inquire about our policies regarding dogs.

Summary: The house sits at the top of a hillside overlooking a picturesque tidal cove. The property is somewhat remote on a 52 acre preserve that abounds with wildlife. Its’ remoteness provides a quietude & peacefulness that was a welcome change from our busy lives.

Summary: We had our second stay at Dal House this week and it was even better than the first. The house is exactly as described. What cannot be put into words is the view from the sunroom. It is the perfect place to watch the tide roll in and roll out. This time around we explored the island a bit more and made a visit to Sasanoa Brewery and a few local preserves- Bonyun & Segerstrom. As a bonus, both Boothbay Harbor & Brunswick are a short drive away and had so much to offer (even with our dog!). We cannot wait to return.

Summary: We’re stayed here several times in the past. It never disappoints! The home is always comfortable and the location is amazing. We always get a visit from a porcupine, several deer and all kinds of birds, including eagles! The family always has a great time, but our dog always has twice as much fun as everyone else.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property on remote Westport Island, is on a quiet cove. We brought our kayaks and took off for a paddle at our leisure whenever the tide was in. Our pup had plenty of outdoor space to run around. The house itself could use some updating, especially in the kitchen. There was no dishwasher and the kitchen gadgets and cooking utensils didn’t all feel very clean. However the rental was mostly pretty clean and the downstairs bed was very comfortable. Would have loved room darkening shades for that room as it was very bright very early in the morning. It was a plus to have air conditioners in the bedrooms. The steps up to the front door are pretty unwieldy, so take care if there is any sort of a mobility issue. All told, we loved our stay and would definitely return!

Summary: We loved our stay at the DAL house! It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. We slept well every night; the bed is super comfortable! The setting is unbelievably beautiful and it changes as the light and tides change, which only adds to its beauty. It’s a pretty isolated spot, but still only 20 minutes from Wiscasset where you can eat and shop. We loved our daily hiking adventures in the area and especially our early evening walks around the house and neighborhood. Kim was an exceptionally helpful host. When we had questions about the area, she provided recommendations within minutes and went out of her way to provide useful tips. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your special home with us!

Summary: The DAL House is a lovely home in a gorgeous location. We loved walking the trails on the property and exploring Westport Island. Waking up in the morning and watching the sun shine on the water as the tide came in was such a treat. A quiet spot filled with beauty and a house filled with great amenities and a cozy feel. We loved every moment of our stay.

Summary: Our family had a great time. It's a very serene place. We saw eagles, many deer, including in the front yard one morning and side yard at dusk. The porcupine finally showed himself one evening munching in the front lawn. It's a great place to kayak when the tide permits. Unfortunately the second half of the week the tide was not convenient for when we wanted to kayak. It is mudflats when thee tide is out, We managed to get enough kayaking in. The dock is perfect. The cottage itself feels spacious. The washer and dryer are a bonus. The kitchen is better equipped than most. I has air conditioners in the bedrooms. There was a heat wave the week we were there. I've never felt they were necessary before in Maine but I fear they are becoming so and felt fortunate to have a cottage with them. It is a perfect place for dogs. Probably one of the best .
