Cottage by the sea private oceanfront shoreline

Cute cozy cottage right on Penobscot Bay. Very thoughtfully supplied with honestly more updated conveniences and small appliances than we expected to find, given the rural setting. The spiral staircase to the bedroom was easily manageable. We did not mind the only bathroom being on the first floor. The view of the bay is just stunning. If you want quiet: a hawk flew over and we could hear the sound of its wings. The local lobster shack was a walkable distance. We found eggs for sale on an honor system basis just a short drive away. Expect a visit from Pilot, the owners’ sweet dog. The owners Gordon and Leslie are lovely and just the right amount of available. We were so glad we chose to stay here.

I traveled solo and it was the perfect respite. Check in is simple, Pilot welcomes you with a wagging tail and gives the grand tour. Having left my own furry friend at home, I was happy for his company. Furnishings are more updated than the photos show. I can't imagine anyone needing anything more than what this cottage provides. Mind your head when you climb the spiral staircase. I was grateful for the bluetooth speaker in the living room. This was a perfect solo stay, I'd recommend for couples too. You want for nothing here.

Beautiful views, peaceful, relaxing! Excellent hosts, great communication. My husband and I enjoyed this cottage for 3 nights in February. The weather was outstanding, great neighborhood for walks. We enjoyed sitting on the granite rocks looking out at the ocean. Close to Rockland for dinner at the Samoset one night, otherwise we didn't want to leave the cottage! We enjoyed listening to Gordon's sea adventures and his family history of island living/working. This is Maine at it's best. If you don't have snow and ice to enjoy Maine's outdoor sports, come and enjoy an island treasure. Thank you to our hosts for sharing your home!

Loved staying here so much. The best hosts and best location. Breathtaking! I will definitely return.

We imagined a rocky Maine sea coast village environment. We got everything we hoped for. Since it was a dark and stormy night when we arrived it was a little intimidating. The next few days were great. We communicated with owner regularly, sometimes in person. This allowed us to understand the history of the property. Great food at nearby restaurants and a short drive to historic a scenic villages. All in all a great experience
