Oar Island: An Authentic Private Island

By Islomaniac | January 29, 2008

Oar IslandThe great thing about private islands is they often provide an escape from the chaos of the outside world. Anyone who has ever visited a private island knows that there is something almost mystical about shoving off from the shore and setting sale to their own paradise on the water. 

Many people believe that the only way to have this type of private island experience is to jet off to some far off destination such as the Maldives or Seychelles.  What few people realize is that the same experience can be provided almost anywhere.

A perfect example of this is Oar Island in Maine.  Oar Island is a 42 acre private island in Muscongus Bay just off the coast of Maine.  The island is a nature lovers paradise where kayaking, mussels, starry nights, blueberries, blue herons, bald eagles and a lush forests littered with wild orchids all await.Oar Island

Complementing the nature of the island are two country cabins, both of which are furnished with more amenities than you may expect on an island.  Each of the cabins features running water (hot and cold), television, wood stove, cozy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. 

The entire island can be rented for just $2,600/wk and renting just one of the cottages costs much less. For more information or to rent the island visit the Oar Island Website.
