Peregrine House is a beautiful air conditioned, three bedroom, three level home on the ocean in Castine, Maine. Castine is a historic, picturesque coastal town, known for its history as one of North America’s oldest European settlements. It is frequently ranked as a top small town to visit due to its charm, history and beauty. At the center of town, you’ll find a quaint village atmosphere, with unique shops, a grocery store, the town wharf, and sumptuous local cuisine. From golf and tennis, to sailing and kayaking, exploring Dyce Head Lighthouse, visiting a historic museum, seaside dining in the salt air, or attending a concert on the town pier, visitors of all ages will have a memorable family vacation or private getaway. We have had the distinct pleasure of hosting families from Paris Fr., Hong Kong, Australia, as well as numerous states here in the U.S.
