An Oceanville Cabin & Harbor Tours
A cozy coastal cabin on Neals Cove Lane in the Oceanville area, run by Captain Steve and Roberta Johnson. Sleep in the loft, walk 50 meters to the water, take a harbor tour on Captain Steve's boat "Bert & I." It's a package in miniature — shelter and water access, from a couple who know this coastline.
Captain Steve and Roberta Johnson run the Oceanville Cabin from 30 Neals Cove Lane, on the eastern shore of Deer Isle near the Oceanville area. The cabin is small and genuine — a full kitchen with dishes and refrigerator, a living room stocked with games and books, a downstairs double bedroom, and an upstairs loft with two single beds plus room for sleeping bags. Private, wooded, about 50 meters from the ocean and a cove.
The cabin is listed as open April through October. It books through Airbnb and a direct Wix site.
Separate from the cabin rental, Captain Steve operates harbor tours and boat rides on his vessel "Bert & I" — named after the classic Maine humor recordings that anyone who's spent time on the coast will recognize. The boat tour operation runs through the Chamber and by direct contact.
The combination of a small rental cabin and a working captain running water tours is the kind of thing that makes Deer Isle what it is: practical, personal, and close to the thing you came for.
