Belfast, Maine
Surfside cottage sits just 100 feet from the high tide mark on the shore of Penobscot Bay in Belfast Maine. This is rare along the Maine coast and allows you to experience both the spectacular views of the ocean, and the sounds of the coast. Relax to the sound of the surf, call of the loons and harbor bell. Watch lobster boats and schooners pass by from your chair overlooking the bay. All ocean facing walls have windows. Plenty to do right at the cottage; spend the day on the beach, bring your kayaks and set out right from the beach, spend time with your kids in the field or sit or read a book on the porch, patio or front room. Watch seals and loons from the cottage. All the convenience of downtown Belfast is 5 minutes away, while at the cottage you will feel perched on the edge of the bay. The view from the cottage is breathtaking and ever changing. The beach is steps way and great for exploring, sitting or swimming (in season). The cottage is also centrally located for day trips; 1 hour 15 minutes to Acadia National Park, 25 minutes to Camden, 40 minutes to Rockland, and 5 minutes to Belfast center.
This adorable coastal cottage was rebuilt in 2010.
I cannot say enough good about this house. The location is amazing, you are right on the water. You will for sure see herons and loons and probably seals, eagles, and ospreys. The water in August was actually not bad for Maine, you can swim right in front of the house. Belfast is maybe 10-15 minutes away and is a charming town, Camden and Rockland are maybe 25-30 minutes down the road.
What a slice of heaven! The cottage itself was so clean and thoughtfully stocked, and the view is unbeatable! We spent hours on the beach at low tide, and saw only a small handful of other people! Plus Belfast is such a cool spot and a great home base to explore from. If you’re at all on the fence- book it. If I could move in I would!!
I fell in love with the pictures onsite but the moment I saw it in real life, I want so happy. When the car stopped and i stepped out, the sea air brought back memories of my childhood. All the recommendations we received in a previous email was really helpful for planning our outtings while we were in Belfast. Even the day trips to Acadia National Park and the lighthouses were amazing as per Fran's suggestion. My kids loved it so much that on our day of departure, they wanted to me to rent it again. I think we shall!!
The owner was so gracious and helpful. The cabin was located in an incredible spot on the bay. We would have liked to have stayed there the entire summer.
Maybe the best place we have booked through VRBO! This cottage has all you need for a short get-a-way from it all. Belfast is a great little Maine town to stop & explore & the cottage is the icing on the cake. Comfortable digs with all you need & a comfortable bed to end the day. We loved it and easily could have stayed longer!
If you drive too fast, you may miss the turn onto Wonderview. But once you make that turn you will see the most charming site of little cottages hugging the coast. This cottage is in the very center, so it has the best full view of the water. This is a perfect place to enjoy Belfast. So cozy and charming, and the hosts were wonderful to communicate with. I want to come back to this place later this year, as Maine is quite beautiful!
This was our first visit to Belfast, the house was wonderful, the location was great, the view was perfect. Everyone in Belfast was very friendly.
This was a great cottage It was clean and well maintained. Everything was labeled and there were written instructions. The owners, Fran and Ellen, provided great communication and information about the attractions and restaurants in the area. The location of the cottage was perfect. Right on the shores of Penobscot Bay.
Everything about this cottage was just wonderful. Very clean, very peaceful, and very accessible to everything in the Belfast area. Fran was extremely easy to communicate with as well as being very helpful. It truly is a gem!
Fran's house in Belfast was perfect for our 3 day stay in Belfast. The location was great for day trips to Belfast and Camden Areas. The views were incredible - we enjoyed walking on the beach area at low tide and the sunsets. The house was very clean and very nicely decorated. I highly recommend this house.
This is a compact little cottage, but it's so impeccably laid out that it doesn't feel that way. Every design decision in the front of the cottage seems to have been designed with maximizing the views. When you come out of either of the bedrooms in the morning, you're immediately greeted with a gorgeous view of the bay. Everything was neat and tidy, with nice attention to detail, and thoughtfully equipped. Fran was wonderful to communicate with - I'd asked if he had any suggestions to accommodate our family's slightly different scenario, and he gave many great suggestions - we wouldn't have found a couple great areas, and a new favorite restaurant, without Fran! We wouldn't hesitate to visit again - just a real gem of a cottage, with wonderful hosts.
Beautiful clean cottage overlooking the bay in Belfast Maine. Views are breathtaking, and it’s quiet enough to hear the ocean at night. This is our second stay- and will not be the last.
The Surfside cottage was the best place to stay with perfect views, clean place to stay, and great access to the beach. We will definitely be staying again! Thanks Fran and Ellen :)
Great stay, great location for exploring the area or just chilling
This cottage by the sea is everything you want it to be: simple, comfortable, full of beautiful windows and a walkable beach (safe steps lead down there). We had a wonderful time in this enchanting, private cottage. The hosts were quick to respond to a question and super helpful with suggestions on what to do in the area. We relaxed, collected sea glass on the beach and took many day trips to explore the surrounding towns. This Is a special location and we can’t wait to return.
