About 3 Island View Ave
Cute as a button at Ferry Beach! Welcome to 3 Island View Avenue, a quintessential Maine beach cottage, ideally located just steps away from 7 miles of pristine sandy beach! You can live your best millionaire lifestyle at a fraction of the cost, while enjoying the soothing, salty summer breeze, a refreshing Atlantic dip, and the sand's warmth between your toes.
