Enjoy a relaxing stay in a private home B&B just off the St. Johns River in the
Riverside/Avondale National Historic District in Jacksonville Florida at St. Johns House
Bed & Breakfast, or experience life in the coastal fishing village of Corea on the rocky
coast of Maine, near Acadia National Park. We anxiously await your arrival!
Escape the crowds and visit the quiet side of Maine in the small coastal village of
Corea! The Postman’s Loft is a unique rental opportunity in a spectacular area of the
state. Away from the traditional tourist areas and just two hours from the Canadian
border, Corea is one of several villages on the Schoodic peninsula, bounded by
Gouldsboro and Frenchman bays and the Atlantic Ocean.
About the Postman's Loft
The Postman’s Loft is situated above the old general store and post office in the heart of
the village of Corea. Originally home to the store-keeper and his wife, the postmistress,
the loft was fully renovated in 2003, and now welcomes summer guests to one of Maine’
s most charming lobster villages.
The spacious living area offers wonderful views of the working harbor and the ocean
beyond, so you can watch the sun rise across the islands, and later watch the lobster
boats come in from a day’s haul. The kitchen is fully equipped (including ocean views),
so you can eat in, prepare a picnic and head to the shore, or enjoy the area restaurants.
Most serve the farm-fresh vegetables and fresh catch that are abundant on the
peninsula.
There are two bedrooms in the loft, one with a queen bed, and the other with two twin
beds. It has one and one half baths (shower only). Bed and bath linens are provided.
Besides the expected amenities, you will find:
* microwave
* dishwasher
* toaster
* lobster pot
* clam steamer
* coffee maker
* blender
* private balcony
* tv/dvd player
* radio and cd player
* board games and puzzles
* Ceiling Fan
Missing are iron and ironing board and alarm clocks! Within a short drive are churches,
a first rate library (limited hours), bank with ATM, grocery stores, restaurants and
galleries, a medical clinic and laundry. Bicycle, canoe and kayak rentals are also
available nearby.
Corea and the Schoodic Peninsula
The village of Corea is located on the tip of the Schoodic peninsula, 8 miles from Route
1, and across Frenchman Bay from the tourist areas of Mount Desert Island. If Schoodic
is the quiet side of Maine, Corea is the quiet side of Schoodic. It sits at the end of Route
195, the only road in and out of the village. Along the way, you can enjoy glimpses of the
bay, a sand beach (unusual in the state of Maine), several galleries featuring local art
work, and a well-watched osprey nest
Once you’re settled in, grab a book and head for the old garden bench under the apple
tree. Sit and enjoy the garden, or play croquet on the lawn. Search the shore for beach
glass or sand dollars. At low tide you can walk on the ocean’s floor to a nearby island,
but don’t tarry and miss the tide change. Scamper on the rocks or on the hiking trails at
Acadia’s Schoodic Point. Pick wild blueberries in season, and watch the local paper for
church and grange sales, where homemade jellies and baked goods are plentiful. Buy
fresh lobsters and crabs at the Corea Lobster Co-op, or gather your own mussels and
clams. Like fresh vegetables? Mandela and Darthia farms are just up the road, and sell
organic fruits, vegetables and cheeses. A weekly farmers’ market offers more
vegetables, fresh flowers and herbs, jams, maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and more.
One of the joys of being on the peninsula is enjoying the best of Maine without the
crowds. There is plenty to see and do on Schoodic. The villages on the peninsula have
working lobster fleets, and watching the boats at work is a favorite pasttime. Hiking
along the rocky coast, kayaking the ponds or ocean, and visiting the shops and galleries
can fill days. There is also swimming, birdwatching, fishing, golf, and the best five and
dime in New England in nearby Winter Harbor. Schoodic Arts for all, a two-week long
festival, draws people from across the country. The entrance to Acadia National Park,
Schoodic Point is only seven miles away.
Be as busy as you want, or just relax on your private balcony and watch the world go by.

Beyond the Schoodic Peninsula
Mount Dessert Island, home to Bar Harbor and the main part of Acadia National Park, is
a short drive away, but stops at antique shops, farm stands, scenic views, lobster
pounds, and other attractions may extend your trip. Or you can catch the ferry from Winter
Harbor to Bar Harbor and take advantage of the free island-wide bus service if you
prefer. Visit some of the lighthouses that dot the coast, tour Bartlett Winery, go whale
watching or on a puffin tour, or head north to Campobello Island, summer home of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and a day in Canada. There are charming towns, wonderful
art studios, shops and galleries, plus breath-taking scenery along the way!
