Penthouse Private Balconies

The Penthouse Private Balconies sits right where Atlantic Highway meets the sand in Lincolnville - close enough to watch the tide from your deck, far enough from crowds that you'll actually relax. It's a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment designed for families and couples who want a full kitchen, actual living space, and the kind of thoughtful extras (yes, floss picks in the bathroom) that make a rented place feel like it was meant for you.

All three guests who've stayed here gave it a perfect 10. That's not a marketing claim; that's a pattern worth noting. The piano in the living room, the fully stocked kitchen, the private porches with sea views - these aren't afterthoughts. They're the reason people book it again.

Direct beachfront access with genuine ocean views. You're not across the street from the beach; you're on it. The main and secondary balconies face the water. Guests consistently mention standing on the porch with coffee or evening drinks, watching the Atlantic do its thing. This is the core appeal, and it delivers.

A genuinely complete apartment, not a stripped rental. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a working fireplace, a piano, and a kitchen stocked with everything from a quality coffee machine to a dishwasher and microwave. One family noted finding q-tips, toothbrushes, and floss picks already there - the kind of detail that signals the owners actually think about whether their guests are comfortable.

Thoughtful ownership and responsive management. When the entrance steps posed an accessibility challenge, the owners provided a motorized stair chair. When a guest asked about the security code system, management made clear they were open to changing it. This isn't a passive listing; it's managed by people who notice what matters.

Walkable to a pizza and sandwich shop below. The ground-floor commercial space means you can get dinner without a car. For a beachfront place on a highway, that's surprisingly convenient.

The property offers one configuration: a spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with hardwood and carpeted floors throughout. Bedrooms are straightforward; bathrooms are well-appointed with full bathtubs, showers, and spa tubs. The living area centers on a sitting room with a sofa and fireplace, and the kitchen is positioned to let you cook while still seeing the water.

• Three-Bedroom Apartment: Primary, secondary, and guest bedrooms with shared or ensuite bathroom access, spa tubs, and views of the coastline from common areas.

All three bedrooms are accessed by stairs only; if mobility is a concern, confirm accessibility details with management before booking.

Summer (June–August): Lincolnville Beach is warmest and most active. The ocean is most swimmable (though still cool by non-Maine standards). Crowds peak in July and early August. The balconies are perfect for morning coffee and sunset viewing.

Fall (September–October): Fewer families, more couples. Water is still cool but swimmable for some; foliage peaks in late September and early October across the Midcoast. One of the best times to sit on the porch and actually relax.

Winter (November–February): Quiet. The ocean becomes a moody focal point rather than a swimming destination. Heating and the fireplace make the apartment cozy. Holiday weeks fill with local families. Note: Only three reviews provided; seasonal operating hours for nearby shops and restaurants should be confirmed.

Spring (March–May): Shoulder season. The beach reopens mentally (if not thermally). Wildflowers and warming trends bring locals back. Fewer tourists than summer, reasonable rates.

All three guests scored the property at 10 out of 10. The only complaint surfaced was a minor one: the ten-digit entry code system, which management has indicated can be changed if requested. One guest also noted that the entrance steps require navigation, though the motorized stair chair available on-site addresses this for those who need it.
