LINCOLNVILLE, MAINE - Glenmoor by the Sea, the beloved oceanfront cottage resort overlooking Penobscot Bay, proudly celebrates ten years under the ownership of Millicent and Renato Kriste. Since acquiring the property in 2016, the Kristes have thoughtfully elevated Glenmoor by the Sea into one of Midcoast Maine's most cherished destinations while preserving its timeless coastal charm.
Over the past decade, Millicent and Renato Kriste have blended hospitality, vision, and a deep respect for the property's heritage to create a guest experience defined by comfort, authenticity, and connection to Maine's natural beauty. Their stewardship has included enhancements to accommodations, expanded guest amenities, and a continued commitment to personalized service that has earned Glenmoor by the Sea consistent top rankings among travelers visiting the region.
A key part of the Kristes' vision has been investing in amenities that foster both guest enjoyment and community connection. After revitalizing the property's former tennis court into a pickleball court, Glenmoor by the Sea launched its annual For Fun Sake Pickleball Invitational, now a signature event that brings together local hospitality businesses and community members for a day of friendly competition and philanthropy.
Held each summer on the resort's grounds, the tournament has quickly become a highlight of the season. With the support of partners including Midcoast Recreation Center and Skowhegan Savings Bank, and contributions from local businesses, the event not only celebrates the growing popularity of pickleball but also raises funds for charitable causes. Proceeds from team registrations are donated to local organizations selected by the winning teams, reinforcing Glenmoor by the Sea's commitment to giving back to the Midcoast Maine community.
"Reaching this ten-year milestone is incredibly meaningful to us," said Millicent Kriste, co-owner of Glenmoor by the Sea. "Our goal has always been to create a place where guests feel at home while experiencing the beauty and tranquility of the Maine coast. We are deeply grateful to our guests, our team, and the community for being part of this journey."
"Looking back, investing in our pickleball court was one of the best decisions we have made," Kriste added. "What began as an amenity upgrade has grown into a meaningful annual tradition that brings people together and supports local causes."
Under the Kristes' leadership, Glenmoor by the Sea has become known for its welcoming atmosphere, scenic ocean views, and unique cottage-style accommodations. The property has also fostered a loyal base of returning guests, many of whom consider Glenmoor by the Sea a cherished annual retreat.
"Glenmoor by the Sea is more than a destination. It is a community," said Renato Kriste. "We are proud of what we have built over the past decade and look forward to continuing to grow while staying true to the character and spirit that make this place so special."
