Recently constructed private guest room plus (suite) attached to enchanting seaside cottage. This delightful addition has its own separate entrance and includes a large bedroom with Queen size bed, cathedral ceiling and fir flooring from a historic home. Go down the small, pine-paneled hall and you will find a new bathroom with oversized shower and beautiful pine paneling. There is a pantry which houses a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster and Keurig coffee maker. There is no cooking stove although an outside gas grill is available for cooking upon request. From the outside you enter the suite through a sliding atrium door off your own 8' x 16' cedar deck that faces south and the spectacular view afforded by the Mussel Ridge Channel, Pleasant Beach and numerous islands. This location is visually stunning. Sit on the deck and watch the lobster boats, colorful buoys, birds or occasional rainbow and smell the salt air. If you're lucky enough to be there during a full moon...you'll remember it always. For those wanting to kayak you can launch your kayak directly from our front yard which abuts Pleasant Beach in a sheltered cove of Penobscot Bay. Walking and climbing the boulders strewn along the shoreline are popular pastimes for those who visit this area along with wonderful birding and photographic opportunities. We are situated 100 feet from the bay and 100 yards from the mouth of the Weskeag River, which is a popular attraction for both kayakers and fishermen alike. This property is conveniently located within a 30-minute drive of Rockland, Rockport, Camden and Port Clyde. Nearby attractions include the Farnsworth Art Museum, Owls Head Transportation Museum, several lighthouses and a plethora of shops, restaurants, lobster shacks and art galleries. Mt. Desert Island is but two hours north. Wifi is included. We do not accept pets, and smoking is not permitted on the property. The owners reside in the main cottage during the summer months to remain responsive to renter's questions/needs.

Why stay in a hotel when you can have a real experience Maine in the beauty of this delightful oceanfront cottage

    This charming oceanfront cottage is all of that and more. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, comfortable setting. The fact that our hosts were so kind, friendly and fun made our stay feel like we were with family. For us, this location was the perfect mix of being quiet and out off the way while still being close enough to several towns with many interesting sites to see and areas to explore. Where else can you climb a mountain to view the ocean from above and then go shopping in a quaint but bustling town, enjoy familiar food prepared in unique ways and then just put your feet up on your oceanview deck while reading an intriguing novel that you picked up in the local bookstore all in the same day? And that was just day 1 for us! We saw lighthouses and walked in parks, went antiquing, met interesting people and watched the tides roll in and out. We visited farm markets and saw some interesting wildlife. What a vacation! The cottage is adorable and comfortable; it's very well appointed with everything you might need. Honestly, nothing is lacking. It's clean and beautiful. You will love it, I'm certain!

    What a great little cottage. Listing was accurate and complete. Waking up every morning looking at the ocean was incredible. Bed was very comfortable and roomy shower was great. Bathroom was quite large as well. Interior was amazing and had 2 nice closets with hangers for clothes. The walk to the shoreline was short and had amazing views. We didn't take advantage of the firepit, but the view and shoreline walk were incredible. We ate breakfast in the Adirondack chairs every morning and sat there in the evenings as well as the nice roomy deck out the front door. It as so cool to watch the tide go in/out. Marc was an incredible host and gave us lots of info about local places to go and we took advantage of every recommendation. A grocery store that served breakfast was close by. It was a short drive to Rockland/Rockport/Camden. Marc had a nice folder with lots of info it for us to review. The best part was meeting Delsie the golden retriever mix. :) I would stay here again without hesitation when we revisit the area.

    Where do I begin?! I feel I truly lucked out finding this gem…perfect spot for a relaxing stay while visiting family in the area. Everything from initial booking, communication, thoughtful design/set up/amenities of the cottage, the surroundings, view and hosts were amazing. Highlight of my entire Maine visit was kayaking up the river 1.5-2 hrs each day! Will def be back!!

    A beautiful spot towards the end of a dead end road. Great views! And very quiet. Great location for exploring the area, but we didn’t go far from the Adirondack chairs steps from the water.

    The location of this cozy cottage is any beach lovers delight! The cottage was extremely clean and the hosts were extremely generous with what they provided. Aside from being very kind people, they were very concerned about our comfort and experience. I highly recommend this beautiful place when in the Rockland area. It’s far enough away from a busy summer town filled with people but close enough to go there whenever you want. I know that when I go back to Maine, I will stay there again!!

    This is a lovely cottage in a very beautiful setting. Absolutely breathtaking in any kind of weather. I had fog,clouds mist & rain but loved all of it! It is also well-situated for day trips to Rockland,Camdem, and the surrounding area. The property is perfect for 1 or 2 people, with a large deck and expansive lawn with Adirondack chairs to relax by the water. Marc is a kind and helpful host! I will certainly be returning.

    I loved this little cottage and it was exceptionally clean, right on the water with a beautiful view of islands and the ocean. Would love to go back and stay longer. No kitchen but there is a refrigerator, toaster, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was also very clean and had nice hot water. There was plenty of heat in the cottage. Owner was very friendly and nice. He gave me keys but I felt so safe I never locked the door when I was out.

    Lovely place and location. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Our host Marc made us feel at home the moment we arrived. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area. Everything in the listing is accurate. Also, lots of windows for that ocean breeze . Very relaxing

    The cottage was nicely represented by the pictures. It was very convenient and easy to get to all the areas we wanted to go. Marc the owner met us when we got there and recommended a couple of restaurants that were open on Sundays and close by. The cottage was a perfect size for 2 with a nice size bathroom. Even though it was foggy our first couple of days the view was beautiful across the water when the fog lifted.

    It's the perfect spot to explore an incredibly beautiful part of Maine. Every inch of this wee cottage is carefully designed to maximize guests' comfort and convenience. And, we could not have had a kinder host who was always willing to provide great recommendations.

    We liked the layout of the suite! The bedroom was facing the ocean and the main door had a sliding screen so we were able to enjoy the view. The hallway was equipped with a Kerrig coffeemaker with pods. The mini refrigerator and microwave came in handy for breakfast items and drinks. The bathroom and shower were nice with amenities. Perfect for one or two adults.We definitely will return!
