Cozy Waterfront Cottage

The sunsets from this property are outstanding. We spent 7 nights with our family of 8 at the property. It had enough space for all of us. The location was perfect for us. We had access to a 2-person kayak, which we used a few times, and the outdoor fire pit was our gathering place every night. We got licenses and dug up our own steamers just down the stairs for part of our meals twice during the week (a nice neighbor let us borrow his equipment). We traveled to Acadia twice during our stay as well, and we absolutely loved hiking around. We also went to check out Fort Knox and the Bridge, stopped by the Fort Point Lighthouse, hiked around Sears Island and Mt. Waldo, kayaked down the Penobscot, and swam at Sandy Point Beach. Spent time in both Searsport and Belfast. We wished there were trash barrels, but we used the shed to store the bags until check out.

Fantastic place. Plenty of room for the three of us. Good distance to both head back down the coast to explore as well as heading over to Acadia. Having the water outside the living room window was very peaceful. Several places to eat nearby or can drive 20 minutes to head into Belfast. Amazing pictures just on our phones of the stars.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this little slice of heaven in Maine. It is away from the typical tourist spots but most everything can be reached within an hours drive, including Acadia. While the house doesn’t have central A/C, all rooms cooled off at night and the unit in the downstairs living room kept it cool. Plan to pick up fresh seafood/ lobster and cook at home one evening, the sunset view is stunning and the grill works well too! The owner was easy to work with and responsive, I would recommend this home for an extended family or friends traveling together.

Very pretty traditional Maine cottage. Beautiful views of the bay and lupins growingb in the yard loved drinking coffee on the front porch. The master bedroom was so pretty with lots of windows to let the sea air in at night.
