Waterview Cottage in historic Bayside on Penobscot Bay

Amazing stay again this year. We love the house and our kids have an absolute blast with the garden. Kitchen is so well stocked and internet was outstanding as we did have to work some. Thanks for another great vacation and hope to do it again next summer!!

Loved our repeat stay at Ned’s quaint, perfectly located cottage. He’s kind and communicative as a host, and his home is full of exactly what we need and touches of whimsy we and our kids really appreciate. Thank you for having us Ned!

Great spot. We enjoyed it thoroughly

Another great week in Ned’s lovely home. The location is just perfect, right in the heart of beautiful Bayside. My daughter loved the garden, watching birds and butterflies, and picking berries.

We are regular Bayside Summer folks that needed extra space this year for family, the cottage was a great location, so clean! has every appliance known, a lovely double bedroom on the second floor, a first floor single, and loft bed (for younger folks! The ladder/stair is steep like many of these cottages) The garden was lovely and the front porch was delightful. We loved being able to pick fresh basil and raspberries, hope we left more to ripen!. Ned is an impeccable host and we will rent again should we have an overflowing crowd!

We loved staying at this sweet cottage right in the center of Bayside! Hammocks galore, all the creature comforts we needed, and a very communicative manager made our stay easy and comfortable. Would highly recommend!

This vacation cottage immediately charmed us with its welcoming front and interior porch. The primary suite on the second floor worked well for us two seniors -- a large room with an abundance of shelves and drawers and closet space and a very comfortable bed. The well equipped kitchen was great for us trying out NYT recipes we looked forward to preparing for our dinners. We enjoyed the friendliness of our neighbors, but best of all was the location -- it was perfect for our car exploring up and down the coast, for restaurants especially in Belfast, and for shopping.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bayside. Much of the time we were happy to just relax on the porch. The prolific garden of flowers, herbs, and veggies surrounded us with beauty. In spite of the fact that the cottage is named for a parrot (Sheikie’s Shack), the hummingbirds have made this place theirs. Their almost constant aerial antics kept us entertained. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the insulation maintained the temperature at a pleasant level in spite of a few unseasonably warm days. A great location in a very friendly neighborhood.

We loved our 2 weeks here. The house was comfortable with everything we needed. The galley kitchen was very well equipped, and the library and game selections were fun. We also enjoyed being able to eat the raspberries, tomatoes, Swiss chard and herbs. We would definitely go back again.

A wonderful cottage with an excellent location right in the middle of Bayside. The place was very clean and highly functional. The kids loved sleeping In the loft! We hope to return soon!
