Gorgeous Waterfront Estate In Historic Bayside

A rare find, "Lost Tides" is a fabulous, five bedroom oceanfront Victorian home nestled into 2 private acres with 470 ft. of shorefront.

Take in the stunning views of the Penobscot Bay from nearly every room while experiencing all the charm of a bygone era. Relax on the screened in porch with a glass of lemonade or a cocktail--free of bugs but full of fresh ocean air!--or take a stroll around the grounds and the original carriage house. Luxuriate in our seaside spa--no better place on the planet (but keep in mind that it is not available in winter months). Play horseshoes or cornhole as the tide comes in just a couple dozen feet away. If you're a runner, cruise down Shore Road, under a leafy cathedral, all the way to Route 1. Swim right off your own beach, search for sea glass, or just sit and enjoy the magnificent sunsets for which Maine is famous.

Tastefully updated, this home has the charm of a Grand Dame, but with all the modern amenities, including a new kitchen and 4.5 updated bathrooms. There is a dining room table for 12 in the formal dining room as well as a gorgeous farm table that seats 12 in the summer dining room overlooking the sea. The house offers a foosball table, a ping pong table, and a guest suite that is private and separate from the other four bedrooms. Perfect for family reunions, events, or those who need healthy space. There is also a large entertainment room with a big screen TV, modern and comfortable queen sized Murphy bed, and it's own bathroom and kitchenette! There are 3 original fireplaces and a quaint wooden staircase down to the beach. This gracious and magical waterside home is just a short walk to historic Bayside Village, a hidden spot that has no commercial development--not a stop light, stop sign, billboard, or store to be found! It is truly unique and feels like a trip back in time. There is a lovely old pier, where kids (and some brave adults) jump into the sparkling Penobscot Bay, plus a beautiful green park complete with an old-school playground. The charming and wonderful Northport Golf Club is a ten-minute WALK from the house or a two minute drive. Just grab your clubs and go!

Lost Tides is also a perfect place for weddings, with a large, flat lawn that can accommodate a tent. Get married under the tall oak and pine trees, looking out over the still water--an experience that will set the tone for your special day. Event fee required and can be discussed.

We've been coming to Bayside for three decades and will give you our best recommendations for restaurants, bars, hikes, shopping, and things to experience that are off the beaten tourist track. Belfast, a unique and authentic fishing town, is three miles away, with everything you could ever need--and some things you never even knew you wanted! The splendor of Acadia National Park is a 75 minute drive away, and Camden, a historic and charming tourist town, is 20 minutes to the south.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a desk and a microwave.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Splendid spot
Our stay was perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing. Plenty of space as far as bedrooms and bathrooms go. So much common space to enjoy a fire, meals, and outdoor space. The beach is very wide during low tide and an added perk. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. We can’t wait to plan a return trip.

Wonderful time
My wife and I, our three adult children and their spouses, and our grandchildren had a great time at the Lost Tides house relaxing, sightseeing, and eating at the restaurants around the area. The spacious house easily accommodated us and all our activities, and the view of Penobscot Bay outside the expanse of windows was gorgeous. Suzanne, the owner, was a gracious host. We hope to stay again.

Amazing Maine Family Vacation
There were nine of us, plenty of room to spread out. All the adult couples had king size beds and there were plenty of bathrooms. The house was well stocked allowing us to have a great breakfast before heading out for the day. We had some phenomenal evening meals, relaxed, played games and enjoyed each others company. Great place to stay … the views and sea glass excursions could not be beat. Our grandson even tried his hand at fishing, but no luck. We enjoyed Acadia, Boothbay, Camden, Belfast and Bar Harbor. Would love to come back … and maybe someday we will.

This is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever had the privilege of staying at. The home has everything you could want for an enjoyable family stay. A great kitchen. Comfortable bedrooms. A wonderful playroom with TV and game table. Ping-pong and foosball. A fire pit. And a short walk to some steps down to the beach. Just 15 minutes to Belfast, which is a wonderful seaside community with great restaurants and shops. There’s a nine hole golf course literally right around the corner from the property.

Fabulous property!
We stayed over Memorial Day Weekend while in the area for my daughter’s college graduation. The house and property was exactly as represented in the online description. It’s a really peaceful place with great energy. The host was great. Communication was good and she responded quickly when we had a question. The property would be a great place for a large family get together. Tons of space! We would definitely rent here again.

It's not a house, it's a home!
Rarely do you find places that are better in person than in the pictures. This is one of those places. This isn't some vacation rental business. This is a real lived-in and loved home with everything you need. Except one thing and maybe I just couldn't find them - where are the lobster crackers?! This is the only miss I can think of (arguably a considerable one for a Maine home!)

Our Family Reunion and 80th Birthday Party
Where to begin! First of all, Ethan and Suzanne were incredibly helpful with resources and ideas throughout my planning. It was a pleasure to work with them. All of the questions we had while we were there were answered and worked out quickly. This property is exactly what I was looking for when I took into account the priority of my family not needing to go anywhere and just have a lovely spot to visit. We still ventured out, however. 2 of the most beautiful towns for scenery, eating, shopping and browsing art are just north and just south of this house. And plenty to see, eat and enjoy immediately around the corner with great breakfast spots, general stores and lobster rolls galore. It sounds like the area would be crowded and touristy, but it really is not. It’s just a perfect location, in my opinion, and quintessential Maine. Back to the Bayside House, Tall Oaks… So much space in this house. We hosted 22 people for a Lobster dinner birthday party. 8 people comfortably stayed in the house, but there was plenty of room for 4 more. Plenty of bathrooms and lovely spaces, such as the porch, the vast yard, and the beach to get away for personal space. Loads of game equipment to keep younger ones busy. Beach is rocky, but holds so many treasures to observe and collect. Only a few older family members were unable to use the stairs down to the beach, but viewing the ocean from the kitchen (and many other rooms in the house) made everyone quite happy. We hope to return! :)

This stay was a first timing taking my family away on this scale by myself and I couldn’t have been more pleased! There was enough to keep 12 people busy and relaxed at the same time. Plenty of space to prep meals and just enjoy being together. Atmosphere was comfortable without being fussy. I even had time and places to paint around the property! I hated to leave. Can’t wait to go again. Thank you, Suzanne. Mil Gracias!

Memorial Day weekend.
Overall very pleased with house, location, cleanliness and “equipment”. Only negative is lack of Kerrigan coffee maker. Two negatives are no one’s fault - the pollen count was very high so several of the group struggled with that. And the stairs/walk down to beach was a bit much for the older group members. Otherwise the place met our needs nicely and we had a very good time.

Beautiful property on Penobscot Bay
This is a fabulous sprawling house with a breathtaking view from almost everywhere in the house! There are games for everyone (ping pong, horseshoes, corn hole, darts and more) and room for many. We were originally a party of 10, but ended up being 6 and there was PLENTY of room even if all 10 of us had come. We had meals for 10 at the house as my family lives nearby, and the kitchen was spacious and well-appointed. The bedrooms are beautiful, the beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms. Beyond the house itself, the location is wonderful. LOTS of birds, 180 degree views of the Bay, beautiful walks on the beach, and it's right near the fabulous The Hoot restaurant. Belfast is just a little bit further away. We loved this house and hope to visit again soon!

Our family leveraged this beautiful home to hub a wonderful gathering for Thanksgiving. We loved the character of this lovely old home with just the right amount of modern amenities. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking a big meal for 20. The game room provided a fabulous spot to relax and engage with family. The beds were so comfortable and cozy. The views and location are gorgeous. Suzanne and her husband were wonderfully accommodating and responsive hosts. We thank them for sharing their lovely home. We’d highly recommend this home.

Perfect spot for fall getaway
Our group of 10 women thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Lost Tides. The house is beautifully situated in a private setting right on the water in Northport near Bayside. This central location is great for hiking, golfing, shopping and access to restaurants in both Belfast and Camden. The house is well appointed, clean and comfortable with lots of space to gather inside and out. We especially loved the hot tub and outdoor gathering spots. While October isn’t beach weather in Maine having access to the beach right from the house was great for walking and rock collecting and would be a real plus in the summer months. Suzanne and Ethan were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I’d highly recommend Lost Tides!

Beautiful waterfront location
Suzzanne and her husband were very nice at getting back to us with questions and concerns. We’ were able to check in early which also was very kind of them. The negatives were… A couple of bathrooms had quite a bit of mold in the showers. Not very inviting so we did clean those. The floor throw rugs appeared stained and dirty. Would be nice to have more towels so you don’t have to do laundry everyday. We had a group of 10 women and unfortunately the furniture set up could not seat us all in any one room. The house is big enough to fit more furniture in a room to hold the people it sleeps. Only one tv in the entire house was hard for 10 people also. No tv in the bedrooms. Would be nice for at least one more tv in that size house. Beautiful outside right on the bay.
