Phoenix Aerie: Birds-Eye Harbor Views, Maritime Loft, Harbor Watch Sunrise Deck

Phoenix Aerie offers a rare blend of industrial history and modern comfort. Set on the upper level of a historic maritime building, the home’s elevation rewards guests with a bird’s-eye view of the harbor.



Designed for both family gatherings and corporate stays, the seamless flow between the open living area and the large wraparound deck offers an ideal space to enjoy the Maine coast in style.



LIVING & ENTERTAINING

The heart of the home is designed to bring people together, while the cozy living room is perfect for a movie night on the Smart TV with streaming only access. The “real” living room and the place to be is on the massive wrap around deck where you can take in the views and watch all the comings and goings over the water.



The open concept living area features panoramic windows overlooking the harbor and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi with extenders throughout. Please note the decorative stone fireplace while beautiful, is nonfunctioning and is not for guest use.



KITCHEN & DINING

Built for entertaining, the fully stocked kitchen features full-size modern appliances including a refrigerator, oven and dishwasher where you can unleash your inner chef.



When it comes time to eat, gather around the family sized dining table with gorgeous views out over the harbor and make traditional lobster bakes a highlight of your stay. The kitchen comes fully prepared with a coffee maker, toaster and all the essential cookware and dinnerware for your group.



BEDROOMS

The home sleeps up to nine guests across four spacious bedrooms. The layout is ideal for families, particularly in the Family Wing where bedroom four is accessed by walking through bedroom three.



The primary suite offers a queen bed, private skylight and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is a comfortable queen guest room, while the third and fourth bedrooms provide a flexible wing with high quality linens and airy coastal decor throughout.



BATHROOMS & LAUNDRY

With two full bathrooms, including a primary ensuite and a central family bathroom both featuring tub and shower combos, the home easily accommodates large groups. A full laundry suite with a side-by-side washer and dryer is also tucked away for your convenience with complimentary laundry detergent.



We provide essential toiletries and plenty of soft, fluffy towels to keep everyone feeling fresh during their stay.



OUTDOORS

The wrap around deck is the true highlight of the home and is the ultimate spot for sunrise coffee or an evening unwind with eastern panoramas out over the harbor and the peaks of Acadia.



This space is fully equipped for entertaining with a gas grill for alfresco lobster bakes and classic Adirondack seating designed for evenings watching the lobster boats return to the harbor.



ATTENTION OTHER THINGS TO NOTE!



Access to the home is via a 20-step exterior staircase leading up to the second-floor deck.



The home features a unique tandem layout in the family wing where bedroom four is accessed by walking through bedroom three. This setup is ideal for families with children but may not provide the desired privacy for multiple couples.



Because the property is situated above a working waterfront, you will experience the authentic sounds of a maritime village.



There are four windowless AC units. Since they do not need to be vented or drained, they can be moved anywhere in the home as needed. We also recommend utilizing the natural cross breezes from the harbor, along with the supplied fans, during the warmer months.



Please also note that the stone fireplace and woodstove are for decorative purposes only.
