Located on the mainland at the ocean's edge in a beautiful cove overlooking Clark Island and the open sea, our cottage offers the classic, rustic charm of mid-century coastal Maine — the perfect base for a classic Maine summer getaway.
Built in the traditional Maine style, the cottage combines timeless character with modern comfort. Enjoy quiet mornings watching the tide roll in, warm evenings on the porch as the sun sets over the water, and long walks along the shoreline or throughnearby forest trails. It's the perfect retreat for couples, families, remote workers, or anyone looking to experience Maine at its summer best.

• A Peaceful Setting on the St. George Peninsula

The cottage sits in the Township of Clark Island, one of several small, scenic towns that make up the St. George Peninsula. From the lobstering village of Port Clyde at one end (with daily ferry service to Monhegan Island) to Rockland at the other (voted one of America's best small towns by Budget Travel), the peninsula is rich with character and summer charm. It's a quintessential Maine coastal escape — yet just minutes from local dining, shopping, and outdoor adventures.
At the end of our road, the Craignair Inn of Clark Island welcomes visitors with its gourmet restaurant and bar, perfect for an evening out without driving far.

• Summer Adventures and Coastal Comforts

Swimming & paddling: Launch a kayak right from the cove, or find a swimming spot nearby.

Clark Island Trails: An 8-minute walk to Maine Heritage Trust trails with ocean views.

Dog friendly: Well-behaved dogs are welcome!

• Work or Relax by the Sea

Reliable Wi-Fi makes it easy to stay connected for remote work or streaming when you want a break from the sun. Watch the sunrise over the water, spend the afternoon on the coast, and return to the comfort of your own seaside cottage.

• Easy to Reach

Driving: About 4 hours from Boston — a beautiful and straightforward coastal drive.

Rockland Ferry Terminal: Daily ferry to Nova Scotia, plus schooner tours from Rockland and Camden all summer long.
This part of Maine is why they call it Vacationland — where life is the way it ought to be. Come see why summer here is unforgettable: warm days, cool ocean breezes, and coastal charm at every turn.

    Quiet and peaceful property with an amazing view. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Comfortable living room with a fireplace. The spacious screened porch had plenty of seating. The hammock down by the water was a wonderful place for a nap. The kitchen was well-stocked, with sharp knives and plenty of cutting boards. A washer and dryer are a real plus. We saw many ducks, loons, osprey, and eagles. Two deer walked through the yard the morning we were leaving.

    We loved our stay! The cottage is such a throwback to when beach homes were cozy, just the right quaint size, and were all about time outside, painting, puzzles, reading a good book with a fantastic view. The location is private, quiet, and you can hear the waves day or night. Our dogs especially loved the screened porch and walks on the practically carless road. The home has retained a lot of its charm from the past -- creaky cupboards and throwback tiles etc., my only notes would be it could use a few more cereal bowls (ha) and perhaps a vigorous dusting, but overall it's wonderful, five star(fish) from us. Thanks again!

    Excellent location, convenient to terrific dining a stroll away. Stunning views. Fabulous screen porch over looking the ocean. Long scenic walks to enjoy every day. Maine bedroom mattresses are due for replacement, but tolerable. In need of some deferred maintenance and not as clean are we prefer but overall a terrific week. We appreciate the opportunity to vacation in your home. Raymond

    Our family enjoyed our two-week stay in the cottage. Check-in was easy, communication with the host was also very simple. The neighborhood was quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and listening to the ocean. We got to see an eagle land on the large tree in the backyard. We also saw a family of otters playing on the rocks. We had an issue with one of the bathrooms, and it was taken care of promptly. This is our tenth year vacationing on the peninsula, and we are so grateful to the McConchie family for sharing their special place with us.

    The locations and views were perfect. Great combination of quiet and accessibility to restaurants and Rockland. The house needs to be thoroughly cleaned, a good plumber, and new linens. Otherwise, a great layout.

    Excellent location, close to Rockland and all the fun things! Cottage is nice and quiet, with perfect views of the water. We took a ton of walks around the area, enjoyed all the food, and just relaxed. Thanks for having us!

    It’s a nice little place, a bit dated and in need of some deferred maintenance. It’s quite comfy, for two people. Any more than that, depending upon age and relationship, it could be a challenge with only 1 1/2bathrooms. For a winter getaway, it was ideal for us. Bedroom window views of the water are superior.
